In today’s video, we show stadiums that have undergone real metamorphoses over the past decades. Some of them are difficult to recognise. But, at least in our opinion, the changes have worked out well for all the venues. To show the full range of stadium developments, we will be on as many as four continents.
Some arenas you know well from the World Cup finals, others you see every day at league games. But they all have one thing in common: massive construction. Let us know in the comments which upgrade has been the most successful, and don’t forget to subscribe to the channel, as more interesting material from the world of stadiums is coming soon.

Which upgrade was the most successful?
Real Madrid Upgrade ?
The best upgrade is Wanda Metropolitano. It has changed completely.
I'm a Marseillais, born and raised. I see how the renovation changed the stadium, but also the neighborhood with a new mall next to the stadium. But Wanda Metropolitano went from 20k and one stand to something else.
You missed White Hart Lane.
Really donβt like running tracks around the stadium! Look how far you are behind the goal, especially if youβre sat near the top!
Kyiv Stadiumβ¦.is it still all in tact? Just thinking with the war against Russia. I know Kyiv was targeted!
Love Marseilleβs stadium.
You also could have mentioned Luzhniki in Moscow and St. Petersburg Arena
I'm always a bit sad when seats and/or a running track is removed even when it improves sightlines for football… The Kiev stadium is definitely the best makeover. It went from a Stalinist concrete mess into a futuristic icon of the city… And it kept its running track/Olympic hosting capabilities…
Title is « dramatic upgrades ». But which ones are dramatic ???
you guys should definitely check out estadio caliente in tijuana which also went thorugh several evolutiosn throughout the years
Civitas metropolitanoππ
What they did to MaracanΓ£ was a huge crime, as they killed the most mythical place in Brazilian football. In addition to making the stands elitist, they destroyed the pulsating acoustics that the old roof provided. All of this to host measly World Cup matches that did nothing to help the city, much less the country. It fills me with sadness thinking about this!
