Is that David Beckham in the official photos?

Is this market anymore limited than other sets that depict regional locations or icons?

Either way, looks alright, but does seem quite niche and in the United States I have no idea what this is.

Although its a high piece count & price its still not that big!

Hard pass.

Next stadium Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam please.

"I'm amazed they're making this. It's so niche."

Wait for the 50% off sale. It will happen in a few months. ;)

I'm not at all a sports fan but this looks epic.

This will be discounted heavily.

Looks good... but as I support another team I would never buy this... plus very expensive! Would have been nice if they included some minifigs... I suspect a lot of Beckham fans would want this set if he was a minifig.

Is that a 1 x 8 x 3 slope underneath the seats...? (see the set details page)

While I definitely don't want this I think it captures the stadium really well and for soccer fans it's a nice display model.
I'd really like to see the Creator Expert line focus more on minifigure scale models but that's just my opinion.

As a counterpoint to those saying UK-centric releases abound, and to those mentioning this set's appeal around the world:

There are those of us in the UK who have less than no interest in this release.

Yes, I'm sure ManU supporting LEGO fans will be going mad for it, but I honestly wish I could expunge the knowledge of this utterly pointless (in my personal, subjective opinion) set from my mind.

Camp nou would be a better choice IMO...

So LEGO thought the rest of the world didn't want the Asian sets last year, or the Olympic sets from 2012 but they think people want to spend $300 on this?

This would be an 'OK Boomer' moment if LEGO were a human.

Looks amazing as a build and display piece. Not for me as i support an arch rival.

Looking forward to seeing some MOCs that use this set to make another generic stadium for our lego cities....

Couldn't care less about any football team but but I admire the architecture in this model and tbh though I hate football I night buy this and repurpose the stadium to another sports stadium.

But £249.99 seems a wee steep for me so might be a present I ask for a VIP point redemption.

Yawn...

As I am not a sports fan of any kind, this does not interest me at all. Seems strange that LEGO would choose such a divided subject to approach.

I'm American, so soccer doesn't really interest me, but to be fair, neither does football (I really only watch it if it happens to be on).

HOWEVER, this set looks very good. I'd probably buy it if it was less expensive, but I can't afford much in the way of Creator Expert models, so yeah.

The set looks great overall though!

I'm not really interested in this as I'm not a fan of MU or football in general so an easy pass, interesting that Lego have gone for such a small section of Lego builders (I know there are millions of fans of M U but how many can afford or even want this).

Nice, but 5 (some might say 10) years too late.

But when the NFL finally contracts with LEGO, we'll see about 15 of these come out.

"I'm not interested in football. BUT: i'm interested in LEGO - therefore i will buy this set. That should be the reason.

Unfortunately there are so much idiots out there who say wrong sport, wrong team and other childish reasons not to buy this set.

It's fun, it's LEGO - and that is what is all about. "

Are you really making an argument about it being childish to not want to buy a certain Lego set? You're literally talking about toys.

I'll pass.

"The only stadium set I would ever buy would be Fenway Park in Boston."

YES!

It's one of the neatest looking stadiums in any sports on the planet. They already have deals with LEGO with fan only sets on game days. That would have made sense to me over this boring rectangle of a set.

Fenway Park will be 120 in a few years.

I would be more interested if it was a minifig scale soccer stadium, though I don't want to think about that cost. Don't care at all about the team, one way or the other.

I can see it as a big failure. First, not everyone is into sports, let alone soccer. Second, the number of fans of this team is pretty small globally. Third, it's a large and expensive set. And so on. I would rather have a smaller, stand alone, unbranded sports stadium or maybe in the city or architecture line.

Interesting, looks more like an architecture set more than a creator one to be honest but looks fantastic none the less. Shame iam not a man united supporter

"If y'all think this has 'very limited appeal' y'all must not know how popular Manchester United is all over Europe. I'm in Poland and I know soo many fans of this team."

Perhaps in countries that don't have teams of international format, but I can't imagine ManU having lots of fans in say Italy, Spain, France, the Netherlands, or over here in Germany. Many of my colleagues and friends are devout football/soccer fans of various German clubs. None of them would ever dream about being a ManU fan - or fan of any other non-German club.

Come to think of it, I don't think our local LEGO store in Frankfurt will dare to offer let alone display this set here. It would be guaranteed to make the store window get vandalized. Would be the same if TLG offered a set of the Bayern München stadium - or any other club other than Eintracht Frankfurt ;-)

That being said, I find it funny that this set is listed as Creator even though the packaging looks like an Architecture set (which would be much more fitting anyway).
Whatever, more money saved this year as I have zero interest in this set, not being into football at all. Now if LEGO made a set of Alexandra Palace, I might be tempted - but only because I am a fan of the PDC Darts World Cup, and Ally Pally has such an iconic ring to it for me. :-)

Come on! This is a day 1 set for so many people in Singapore and Asia. We followed soccer since 80s/90s and there are at least tens of millions of fans of Man U in Asia. People even named their sons after Ryan Giggs and David Beckham.

The only negative thing I’ll say is that this set came about 20 years late. If it had came just after 1999 (treble winning), even non-Man U fans will buy. Today’s Man U is nowhere near the Man U of the past.

The most entertaining comments I’ve read in a while. I do love the intensity of sports fandom.

Don’t mind me, I’m still drowning in my tears from the Baltimore loss over the weekend. Though looking at this set, it looks like there are a lot of parts that could be used to re-create M&T Bank Stadium. Shame the seats aren’t purple... :D

I think I see a new curved window piece! Last pic, top middle. looks like 1x4x3. you can see it better in other pics, but the last one zooms in on the general area.

Camp Nou
San Siro
Bernabéu
Westfalen
Wembley

Hmmmm, I hope they don't, otherwise this is going to cost me lots of money!

If they were to to make more stadiums in the future I would enjoy a Mercedes Benz Stadium from Atlanta. They already have the Mercedes Licence and they'd just need one from the Falcons & or Atlanta United. I would love to see them pull off a covered stadium.

What a burn for the Man Ure fans when they realized the proceeds going to be used to pay Jesse Lingard late night parties and a bunch of overated players.

@Tms95 said:
"Camp nou would be a better choice IMO..."

Even some Italian stadiums (San Siro (Milan), Olimpico (Rome), San Paolo (Naples),...) would have been a nicer choice. But I'm talking as an Italian follower, so...

Well there we are, But rather specific , there may be 659M fans worldwide, but how many non Man U fans are there? They will all be rather annoyed. And out of 659M how many like lego THAT much to spend £250 on this set. Maybe if they had done Wembley and threw in some extra pieces people could have been inspired to make their local clubs stadiums? Maybe even Rugby stadiums. Its a nice model, a bit too expensive and too specific for me though.

Nothing wrong with the model... But even here, just 16 miles from the ground itself, Man U support is at an all-time low. This would be much better suited to Asian exclusive status than the Chinese New Year stuff.

This particular set is not in my alley but I lost it completly when I saw the "no, it's the wrong team" among the poll options.

Set looks good, but I echo the comments about the nicheness of this product. And I recognize that Man U has a global fanbase, but the set is so large and expensive that you're already catering to a very small pool of people. Add in soccer's nutty passions, and you're creating a product that a good number of people will actually REFUSE TO OWN out of pure spite.

50+ stickers!!!!!!

I would've rather seen a more neutral stadium, such as Wembley (or even better, old Wembley Stadium!), then one belonging to a specific club (one that I am not only not a supporter of, but that I also actively root against!)

But I understand why they chose the home of Manchester Utd...it's a giant global sports brand.

@CCC, that all depends on your definition, or rather theirs, of bricks. Whatever that other model was made out of, for Lego it probably doesn’t really qualify as bricks. So while you think they’re lying, they’re just using their words carefully.

And don’t be ignorant; you really think they’re going to acknowledge some lesser known kit from a possible competitor?

In the non-likely event LEGO teams up with the NFL is the only time I would be willing to pay $300 for a stadium replica... But then we’d get the same complaints we’re seeing here, but from opposite regions. This set does look well done, and everyone is allowed their opinion. With that said, I will not buy this set. I’m not a soccer fan, and I’m from a country where soccer is the least popular sport. While I have no doubt that each LEGO store in this country will sell at least 5 sets each, I can’t imagine people here will flock to the stores to get their hands on this set on release day like they would for others. Nothing wrong with that, as I’m sure TLG put a lot of research and thought into this set and how it will benefit their company before announcing it. But I’m saying here in the USA, it might not be as successful as other countries.

I'm English but do not care for football outside of Euro/World Cups.

However I will totally admit that this is a great looking set. I can certainly see it being a nice centerpiece to someones collection (Lego/football or both).

Maybe I'm missing something, but other than the UK, I don't know who the market for this set is nor why it's being marketed at me. On the other hand, if it were only marketed and sold in the UK, there'd be tons of people complaining that it's exclusive, so perhaps scattering the seed wide was the right strategy.

If this was manchester’s Hacienda I would buy.

Come on, you Gunners!
So no.

No, not interested in football, and not interested in this Lego set. Easy pass for me.
I do not see how this can appeal to anyone other than only some Manchester United fans.
It is not even a beautiful stadium, the majority of stadiums aren't IMO (functionality over form), but that could make the difference in having a wider appeal to both Lego and architecture fans. This is not an architectural marvel, something aesthetically pleasing to behold and build, rather the opposite.
Maybe TLG are testing a different avenue with this?!? If football fans are willing to pay exorbitant prices for football T-shirts, then maybe they are also willing to spend a fortune on a Lego set of their favourite team?!

@TheBigLegoski
I am not interested in football either or watching any sports to be frank, but I think it is a cool looking Lego set. That's all that matters for me. It is way down my priority list, but I see its appeal, even if only limited. I may pick it up at 30-40% off at some point.

There's already a good video review.

Cool, but not for me.

It looks great but I won't buy it because it's not my favorite team. If they would make a Feyenoord Stadium set then I would buy it no questions asked.

Or at the Leeds brand store!

I'd imagine this will be a big seller. After all, the fans are plastic.

I wonder if the Man City fans will boycott the Manchester Lego store!

Nice enough if you are interested, which I’m not.

Sorry.

Already on eBay for £450, nobodies buying yet though.......

@Huw said:
"I think the poll result so far says it all: fewer than 20% of respondents have said they'll buy it."

Where are they voting from? There are more MUFC fans in Malaysia than there are in the UK.

Probably an obvious answer, but do each of the Premier League clubs have the freedom to make their own separate licensing deals, or is there an overall umbrella agreement with profit sharing for the entire league?

Seems kind of small for the price. How can that be 3900 pieces?

I absolutely love the look of the pitch. The whole design of the model looks good as well, except maybe for a couple odd and not so good looking decisions. Why isn't the baseplate rectangular? Octagon doesn't seem right.

As someone from America who has no interest in soccer and doesn't have the slightest clue about Man United, I'm not interested. It looks great, but there's other, far more recognizable stadiums I would buy. Wembley, for example. Maybe at half off I'd get it. Maybe.

As a brit, Football obsession is everywhere and I'm not a fan of it.

Taking a positive angle, I hope that this will inspire Lego to produce more niche sets aimed at adult fans. My only irritation is that we get this while there are so many classic themes that could use some love that never get any. I can only assume they have market data that shows I am in the minority.

That is great, happy building times. What appeals to me, will not necessarily appeal to others and vice versa. My comment is merely my opinion on this set and view on the broader appeal I think it will have, or rather its limits. If TLG group designed a huge AND really well designed set of the Roman Colosseum, or the Arles Amphitheatre (France), then I might be super excited about such a set. Hell, I suppose if TLG manages to pull off designing a Lego set of the National Stadium in Beijing, China, designed by the Swiss engineering firm Herzog and de Meuron, I might be in total awe. However, this set just does not do it for me.
As I said, if it happens to catch on with predominantly football fans then TLG might score big time, if not, then they will score one in their own goal. In the latter case, a loss they can suffer, and a lesson for the future.

I think it looks good! And like a fun build! And I really like football

Having said that, it's the wrong team :) Well, indeed it is, I don't really like ManU, but I think I could ignore that. However, I can't ignore the price I'm afraid. I don't necessarily believe it's too expensive for the piece count, but it's too expensive in absolute terms to justify buying given how much unbuilt stuff I have lying around and what other sets I'd rather buy. So, I'll pass, at least for the foreseeable future.

Not particularly interested.

@TheBigLegoski said:
My point is that I don't think one must be interested in either MU or football itself to appreciate this set. No problem if you don't, not trying to convince you otherwise. I just think the focus in this forum is too much on the set being football and MU, and forgetting that it also a nice detailed building. I agree that it is unlikely to be on most people's priority list given the amount of large sets that are more appealing for the average AFOL, but I like that Lego is doing something that has not been done before. They can cut their losses, but I hope they will keep exploring new niches.

By the way I am with you on the point that I would also value higher a historical monument in such detail, for example I would love a huge, 6000 piece Schloss Neuschwanstein.

If it was classic (pre-2003) Wembley, and about 1/3rd of the price I'd be tempted. Or St James' Park. THEN I'd be tempted.

As it stands, nope. Can't see this being a big seller in the UK, or N America either. Asia, maybe?

@inversion

A huge, 6000 piece Schloss Neuschwanstein: now we are talking!

Someone wrote he/she is actually happy when TLG make sets they don't want. I second that!
(spending too much on LEGO anyway so great news I can give this one a skip!)

Why can't we have a big field for minifigures to play real football? Although I have to admit, this set looks really cool

Looks neat, but will it sell outside the UK?

Not a soccer fan, and don't exactly have over $300 to drop on such a niche set. I will however be interested in the reviews and will probably download the instructions once they're online and build it in studio to check out the technical side of the build

Hard pass. Also weird its Creator Expert and not Architecture.

Over priced tat, just like most of Man Ure's recent signings.

It's an easy pass for me, since I can't stand Man Ure.

$300, zilch play value, and limited audience--yeah, this is gonna be a flop.

That being said, even with me not being a soccer fan, I really like this set. At least it ain't Trolls! It also makes me wonder what sets could be done in an Architecture scale at this size. And this time, with a more general audience. I answered "No, it doesn't interest me" and was surprised at how that seems to be the majority opinion with this set. Heck, I think if LEGO made a NASCAR range like MEGA did when I was growing up, I doubt a single set would sell worse than this one.

As someone who has zero interest in Soccer (and even less in UK Soccer) this is going to be a pass for me (especially with the $450 RRP in Australia)

I love the idea of a full stadium, don’t love that price or that it’s not minifigure scale

It is a great set, but as an Aussie it isn't really my sport; even though as a child I used to stay up late to watch it with my father who was European/Dutch.

Great set for the fans though !

@vader11 - suspect there are more fans of soccer than grid iron.

I don’t really support Man Utd or even soccer or sport in general. However I do like the detail put in and I might get it, but given the high price for some sport merch as well as the lack of minifigures and over abundance of stickers, it might make me shy away from it.

I also wonder how well this will go outside the UK. In Australia, I’d imagine an MCG would sell like hotcakes but not this.

Let alone the Birmingham store with Aston Villa

I am a huge Arsenal fan, but an even bigger football fan, so this is tempting. Even though I don't like United at all, you got to appreciate the history of the Old Trafford.

I dont think there will be any more football stadiums, but as a big football fan, I Hope there will be. Camp Nou and San Siro would be nice.

Having been a (Stretford End) season-ticket holder at Old Trafford I can just imagine the scene in the Megastore for every home game; they'll wheel in a new palette of boxes every 30 minutes and the vast majority of them will fly home afterwards (United have a fair proportion of overseas visitors for home matches)

This will sell - at the stadium itself... I would have found it hard not to have bought it to commemorate my son's first visit to the stadium had it been available then...

Oh heck! What if Lego were to get the shirt sponsorship deal at United?!?!? :-D

That is one repetetive build...
Simple and easy pass.

Not an United fan, but I love the sport, and I must say this set looks amazing. Only find it weird to be released under the Creator theme, instead of Architecture. Would be much more appropriate. Also, based on the moment of the English football, it would be better to choose Anfield... But well, it's okay.

Lots of people criticizing saying it is too niche and all, but seriously, AFOLs lately are considering anything LEGO makes as "too niche" or "I don't know about it so I won't buy it". It's 2020. Looks like people still wait for the return of the "Town/Castle/Space/Pirates/Technic ONLY" era...

Really curious how white the lines on the green tiles really are...

It's a nice set, but looking at it, all I can think is, all those stickers would be a pain to apply.

I'm a Manchester United & as nice as this looks its bloody expensive, just do a minifig series & I,ll buy them instead,

Other stadiums I would be interested in seeing are: The Santiago Bernabeau, San Siro, Wembley & The Maracana maybe the Allianz Arena!!

This is a big no for me. Not into Soccer & I have no desire to build any sports stadium. My money will be spent on other sets. Might be worth it when they reduce it 50-70% off solely for the parts. It is a very interesting looking build minus all the dratted stickers.

It's actually a pretty good model, and the designer needs to be congratulated - but I could never buy it due to tribal football loyalties (I'd buy St James' Park, though!).

It's obviously aimed at the Far East market where sales will be much higher - Man U has a huge following out there.

I predict it'll gather dust on Lego Store shelves pretty much everywhere in the UK, due to said tribal football loyalties. Except for London and the South East, obviously, as that's where most British Man U supporters live!! :-)

Very interesting licence, though. What next???

I think this is a missed opportunity for a new theme. By releasing it as a large Creator Expert set, they're doing nobody any favours. The set's only going to appeal to an ever-decreasing subset of potential buyers - football fans, Man U fans, with fat wallets. It won't sell in large enough quantities to justify further entries at this scale.

BUT ... if they'd released it as something similar to Architecture - and, crucially, announced that it IS the start of a series - then I'd see more people outside the subsets buying it. I may be a Liverpool fan through and through, but even I'd look at buying this if I knew that others were on the way.

They needn't make it English football exclusively. Why not a Stadiums Of The World series? This one, Anfield, Wembley, Stade de France, Bernabeu, San Siro ... and other worldwide football stadia. Olympic venues. Then baseball and American Rugby ;-)

A lot of potential, but they've instead sold their souls to the (Red) Devils licencing department, for a product that won't sell.

EDIT: Would I buy Anfield at this big scale. Hell YES!!!

99% of the people that buy this will have never been to Old Trafford for real...

I like it though. Shame the price is too high. If they had done this smaller and cheaper, I'd imagine football fans around the world would have liked to collect the greatest stadiums of the world as a theme. I still think Lego is missing a trick by not releasing football teams. Imagine the sales if every premier league team was represented in Lego. Given the nature of football transfers and kit upgrades it would be an evergreen theme for Lego with huge global sales.

Im not any kind of sports fan but there looks to be a lot of new colours for useful parts in here. I may not be buying the set but I sure will be picking up its best features from Bricks & Pieces

We're the Manchester United Fan Club...from Ohio.

My baby takes the morning train
He works from 9 to 5 and then
He takes another home again
To..find..me..watching the MANCHESTER UNITED FOOTBALL TEAM!!
AHH?!
The Best Freakin' Team in all the Land!
Woo-Hoo!!!

No interest at all in Soccer. If you want to make a splash, how about a large Yankee Stadium? That would be a day one for me!

Wow lots of hate to this set but not surprised!!! I mean it’s so niche. Who’s gonna get this? I’d only buy when it sells for $150, and then only a maybe. Really interested to see how long this one lasts. Will be a riot if this is the biggest flop since Galidor.

I think it probably should've been an architecture set

Nice model, a brave move to make a set with such a niche market. I imagine they won't produce the usual amount of sets and I think it will not sell well.
Will probably end up being heavenly discounted and seliing in low numbers. Then it will become rare lol, and worth more further down the line.

I have little interest in football, and won't be buying it, BUT I think this is a really nice set. Looks nicely detailed and a more interesting build than many of the architecture sets. I also think this will sell really well - as others have said above, football in general and Man U in particular are extremely popular in Asia.
I suspect that this is launched as a one off because of licensing complications - each team (and probably the stadium owners / naming license holders) will need to be licensed separately. If it sells well, other teams might want to participate, but it makes sense for Lego to launch with one well known team first rather than try to negotiate with everyone simultaneously.

Actually, just that is going to come out this year. Not from TLG mind you, but made from compatible bricks by a German company I am not allowed to mention here. PM me if you need the link to the website. (Actually, they state it will be more than 7,400 pieces!)

A nice solid build and I hope that they expand this trend to other football stadiums (also basketball stadiums). The price is indeed steep though but who buys LEGO sets at RRP these days...?

Well if nothing else, I'm pleased to see the triangular tile in a green shade. That piece has quickly become one of my new favorites that Lego has made in recent years.

Also, those large (printed?) tiles will make a great soccer field.

It seems an odd choice to me... I thought Lego was trying to broaden their target audience, while this huge set only appeals to those interested by European football _and_ that particular team.

Very clever but....
I don’t support Man Utd!
Maybe if it was Arrowhead Stadium...

Easy pass on this one

It really looks like an Architecture set

Not that every single LEGO set has to have the most broad appeal, but this is so extremely narrow that it's just utterly baffling why it's being made. Considering how fiercely loyal football fans are, it's not like die-hard Barcelona fans are going to want this just because it's football-themed. The size and price will scare off a lot of casually-interested people too.

Prediction: Least-selling set of 2020.

This gives me hope they'll do a Yankee Stadium in the near future!

@crammus said:
"I'm amazed they're making this. It's so niche."

1.5 billion estimated fans isn't really niche . . .

I don't necessarily think this is particularly niche.

It's niche for the "average" afol but not for wider consumers.

Manchester United's fan base is hugely overestimated but they do sell around 3 million shirts each season.

I would suggest that limits this set's appeal to those 3 million people. They have more than 3 million fans but only 3 million are willing to spend money on their football shirt.

Football is a working class game. How many of those 3 million, who already buy shirts, season tickets, sports subscriptions etc can afford an extra £250 for this set?

However, I can totally see fans of Manchester United buying their kids this set for christmas.

I'd guess that even 1% of the 3 million fans that would desire this set would make it a success. I'm not sure what Lego counts as a successful product but 30,000 sales of a £250 set seems pretty healthy to me.

The biggest obstacle to sales however is Manchester United's poor performance over recent years. Fans are mostly fans for life but even still, it's easier to spend money on a successful team than an incredibly frustrating team.

Lastly, TLG has never had any issue with niche markets. Look at all the exclusives they produce, none more so than the comic con exclusives. Sure, there's a broad desire for the product but an incredibly niche consumer profile. "We're going to produce sets and minifigures that can only be purchased by someone who likes Lego, lives in the city that comic con is hosted at and wins a raffle"

*on a side note, do you think we could convince TLG that producing comic-con exclusives encourages people to fly from their own countries to visit comic-con to purchase these sets and in doing so is damaging the planet and the only responsible thing to do is make these sets widely available for purchase? :P

Doesn't matter that this is "niche". Not every Lego product has to appeal to every Lego buyer - that's kind of why they have different themes.

It's not as niche as some people would like it to be - United's fan base is huge, and exists in many territories.

How much of a crossover is there between United's fan base and Lego buyers (with significant spending money)? Who knows. But it's a mistake to think that it will only sell to that cross-section. Some United fans may well purchase this as their first Lego set. That's a rather important part of all this - the possibility to bring other people into the Lego family.

Plus, some people who are just football fans in general - but not United - may buy the set. It's a stadium with significant importance.

And if you don't like United, it shouldn't take too many additional bricks to remove the branded elements, and even swap the colour scheme, so that you have a football stadium that whilst looking like Old Trafford doesn't display as such.

We've seen real buildings in the Creator Expert range (Sydney Opera House, Taj Mahal, etc.) so it's not so surprising that it isn't an Architecture set. Although coming in a black box, and hopefully the instructions contain some detail of stadium, in which case it will feel more like an Architecture set anyway.

As far as I can see, the biggest mistakes that Lego have made are possibly not thinking more about how it could fit into a Creator Expert display. And missing the Christmas market - at this price, tapping into the market of people buying gifts for United fans ought to be important.

This will be great for the, like, 100 people who are LEGO fans AND fans of a very specific British team.

I, despite being European, hate football.
And if I were to buy a LEGO Stadium, I would only buy the one from the team I kinda sorta support (when you live in Portugal, society doesn't really allow you to not have a football team even if you hate the sport and couldn't care less for it). And Manchester United isn't it.

So...I guess thank you LEGO for making me NOT spend money! :D

While I don't care about association football at all, it'll be interesting to see if Lego builds more stadiums of cherished franchises. AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, would be a strong choice, as would Yankee Stadium. Perhaps we may even see E-sports franchises like Evil Geniuses.

The problem with Yankee Stadium is that it was rebuilt. Fenway Park might be a better choice, as it has the history.

Old Yankee Stadium, the House That Ruth Built, would be my choice. They won 26 championships in that stadium. More than Man U

I'm a Pompey fan and it's wishful thinking to think LEGO will ever do Fratton Park! So this may have todo.. it looks absolutely incredible!

This is awesome! I love soccer (futbol). I am not really a fan of Manchester United, but this is a great Lego set. It would be awesome if Lego made more stadiums of different teams. Lego should try to acquire the UEFA Champions League license so they could make awesome minifigures like Messi, Ronaldo, Lewandowski, and many more! I'd be all in!

It's pretty impressive even if I have no interest in ManU or soccer stadiums. My most proud LEGO creation as a kid was a similar scale model of the old Cleveland Stadium, so the idea is really cool to me. I'd love to see other US stadiums offered in the future.

While it is a stunningly beautiful design, I have no interest in spending that kind of money for it.

If only it was vicarage road...

Real Madrid next ?? :)

I've seen pics from people already complaining about the build. The goals are too narrow and look like hockey goals and the sideline markings in the pitch are not aligned. Ah well maybe Lego will fix the probs in the next set

Looking at pics taken from behind the goal of the real stadium, I would say that the goals look reasonably well proportioned in relation to the pitch markings. It's the stadium that is a little bit out of proportion with the pitch - but at this scale, that's OK. There are always going to be compromises matching up a real world building to a set of fixed plastic brick sizes. Overall, it is instantly recognisable and a good representation of the real thing.
