"You can view more images on the set details page in the database." - not yet...

Wow! These must be selling pretty well considering this is the 3rd stadium!

I love how they look, but unfortunately I have no interest in owning them. Some nice part usage though

Not really interested in the model but at that price might be worthwhile as a parts pack for me, as the Camp Nou was.

Too expensive.

Really hope they come out with Allianz Arena for Bayern Munich next year. I am surprised they continue building these as it mu only be a small select group that actually purchases these. While I like all three of the current stadiums it is highly unlikely I would but one for a team that is a rival.

Agree with @Chris87 - if Anfield comes I may just have to jump in - in the process of collecting together the bricks I need for the Brick this' mini-model {mainly some 1x2 clear plates which I used up on another MOC}. At least it has got character with 4 different stands...

They’re making another one? I thought they sold terribly! I personally don’t have an interest in these and this looks like the worst one out of all 3. Good for the fans though

Although my first thought is 'another one?!', I have to say that this one is at least visually interesting and the ice cream treas and hocky flagpoles (light posts?) are nice. I'm amazed that these apparently sell well enough to warrent a third one in just a few years. Would that make this a yearly release?

I think it's a beautiful set, it could be a building in Cloud City! Only thing is, I'm a Barcelona fan...

Right, because that is the set we all wanted to be revealed and not the Jurassic World sets.

I love this stadium line and hope they start doing other sports as well. Though after building Old Trafford, I really don't need to see another 1x2 grill brick in my life...

I have absolutely no interest in this sport. But I like these sets, as architectural sets. Both for the result, and for part selection.
I didn’t buy Camp Nou because it was too similar than the first one, but I’m planning to buy this one.

I’m not the target audience for this, but I’m sure it’ll make fans of the material happy! These stadiums must be selling. They’ve made a lot of them.

Big football fan but I can't really get excited about these. I guess if I had room they might look quite good displayed alongside each other but, even then, they appear to be quite repetitive builds and are very expensive.

Now, if they did an Etihad Stadium or Twerton Park* then I'd be all over them.

*One is slightly more likely than the other!

Looks a bit symmetrical and repetitive. Maybe they could try doing something asymmetrical such as Lord's Cricket Ground in London - though it might only appeal to British, Australians or Indians and their expat communities.

It’s nice. But … looks like a lot of stickers, we’re missing a photo of the “split view”, and are those two sections/”towers” hollow in REAL life?

This stadium currently looks very different...it has been under reshuffling for 2 years and it will soon looks nothing like this set...
A tribute to the 13 UEFA Champions Leagues won so far?...

The name matters because it gets in the way of the football that we Americans really care about ;)

That price per piece though! Less than 6 cents in the U.S! I am sure people will buy it for MOCs.

I hope that they decide to do Anfield, I would be interested in getting that one.

Nice looking set but I don't care about Real Madrid so I won't buy it. But there are a lot of Real fans in the world so it would probably sell well.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I know different team, but that is the only thing that comes to mind when soccer is talked about.

Another neat stadium set that I won't be buying. There must be a nice return on investment to keep putting these out.

"Only San Siro for me (Milan, Italy)!"
I think this iteration of Santiago Bernabeu feels kinda similar to San Siro/Giuseppe Meazza. With a good inventive of MOC ability you might create a San Siro out of this Bernabeu.

I wish they would do NFL or MLB. I can't see them doing NFL since it doesn't seem that popular overseas but MLB seems possible, although I have no idea how popular MLB is overseas either.

I love sounding like I contradict myself by saying I hate football but I love Football. Being Canadian I've tried to watch USA's NFL (even when I lived there) but I just couldn't get excited about it. Thankfully this year I may finally get another chance to cheer for Canada at the World Cup (after 36 years)."

I thought you were going to talk about your love for Canadian Football…

Looks like they are working their way through the Super League clubs. Presumably those are the clubs with a large enough fan base to make these profitable.

Probably with a part with a hollow stud under it so that the bar can go through the tile and in the hollow stud.

Are the 3 stadiums build to the same scale?

New big Lego set! Oh, it's just another one of those stadiums.

I agree with many here--it's well done, and clearly someone wants them because they keep making them, but zero appeal to me.

Pretty obvious choice for the next football stadium model - a set that will appeal to a worldwide fan base rather than a purely local one.
I think these sets will be very limited after this one - probably only sets like the San Siro or Anfield will have enough worldwide fans and hence demand to justify a model, after that, you're going to be struggling. Sets like Wembley or the Maracana probably have more local appeal.
I do think it's a great Lego set - well done to the designer. But not for me - unless someone does St James' Park!!

I'm surprised they are having more of these...

They're not nice enough to "collect them all" like other themes, and no loyal fan will purchase the home of another team, yet they keep making these so who's getting them? Unlike the TV sets these are very expensive for a non-Lego builder casual fan.

Thank you TLG for bringing out AFOL sets I have zero interest in. Helps me save money for the ones I do want!

I've no interest in sportsball or the Local Sports Team or their stadiums, but this one at least has some eye-catching detail at the street level, and the building has a fairly complex facade. I really love those trees and streetlights.

I take this as sign that Lego have discovered a group of fans even easier to part from their money as AFOLS…

My love of football is on the par with Huw's love of Elvis! However I think this series of music venues is really impressive. And if Santiago Bernabéu Stadium is currently under redevelopment it at least gives me a slight hope for the original Wembley Stadium, which would be a day 1 purchase.

Old Yankee Stadium ought to be recognizable worldwide.

And for a football stadium, the Rose Bowl is pretty iconic, and the final of the 1994 World Cup was played there so there’s a soccer connection as well.

And for a slightly smaller American venue, Madison Square Garden is called “the world’s most famous arena” for a reason…

Don't care for this one, still waiting for the Frans Heessen Stadion a.k.a. Het Osse Kuipje!

But if they want to do another sport, may I suggest Koshien?

They need a GWP of current (Benzema), future (Mbappe), and former (CR7, Zidane, di Stefano) Real Madrid players. And Don Florentino brooding in the stands. Hala Madrid y Nada Mas!!!
Or GWP could be the Real trophy cabinet with 13 European/Champions League cups...

Not again! This is still a pass for me.

Fascinating that TLG keeps making these niche sets. They must realize that they've got a comparatively small market population that would actually buy this. Indeed, as of this writing, only 6% of 1004 responses to the poll had responded "yes, eventually" or "yes, as soon as it's released." That means only 60 of those who answered the poll plan to purchase this.

If TLG is still able to turn a profit from mass-producing these expensive niche sets (that, presumably, only 6% of their potential customers would buy), then I guess they'll still continue to make these.

It surprises me, though. I would have thought they'd continue to produce sets that appeal to a wider audience, as they usually do.

I really hope they won't do Stamford Bridge. And if they do and the price range is the same: bye bye, 350 euros (in Finland).

I want an NFL or MLB stadium

What a boring stadium

I suspect that Lords, the Oval or the Birdsnest are all more recognisable that MSG by a very long way.

Hello. Could you (or anyone) provide more detail on the ‘brick this’ mini model? Sounds interesting.

"

I wonder if the poll could be filtered by region/continent if it would show different results or if Brickset readers generally are not football fans. I'm guessing that the stadium sets sell better in regions where football is the most popular sport.

I guess maybe there's a few things to inspire microscale building here? But I'd rather see some more sets of microscale buildings that aren't sport related and of a slightly more modest size and therefore more practical for display. Bigger than the current Architecture offerings but not as big as this (or the Colosseum!).

What, no Birdsnest stadium from Beijing Olympics? Or is it too soon.

LEGO really seems to be pushing this new subtheme despite it not selling well.

Unless they bring out a Goodison Park set I'm just not interested in these.

"Personally these stadiums don't appeal to me, but they must be selling pretty well to warrant a third already."

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. Surprising considering they're expensive, focused on just one team, and don't appeal to most Lego enthusiasts (as evidenced by the current poll results on this article.)

@starkllr said:

Literally the only thing I know about Madison Square Garden is that vandal idiots tore down Penn Station to build it. Probably one of the worst art crimes of the last century.

@Huw feature request, the ability to hide a given comment and all replies to it.

I was curious about the way the trees are connected to the set, but apparently I have to wade through spats between sport names to find any discussions about the build. :D

So here's the third one...as of this posting it's 87% saying no in the poll.
If they gonna continue making stadiums at least try the one that looks interesting and no so standard. i.e. the bird nest like someone have said. Not that I would ever buy one for the price and size, but would still be interesting to look at.

I thought it was world famous because of the people looking it up to understand the "Madison Cube Garden" reference in Futurama.

I thought was just the foundations for Madison Cube Garden.

Obviously I hope Lego eventually makes the MCG. There would fewer concerns about opposition supporters given most teams play there and it is the home of football.

Another one!? Old Trafford is a pretty decent set for non fans, plus, literally everyone has heard of MU, but these last two are so meh... I dont see how anybody other than fans are going to spend that much money on one.

Just like with the precious football stadiums, it's an interesting building but I couldn't care less about it.
Unless LEGO does Sporting's José de Alvalade Stadium, I'm never going to waste a cent on these stadiums.

Same. So sad about Penn Station... they had to save the one that is used way less. If I had to pick between the two, Grand Central Terminal would've been axed instead in the '60's. (You can't save both, it seems.)

Lego is missing the boat on making a sports stadium architecture series. They can be $80 to $100 each and cover many different sports. Perfect for a desk, at a price point that serves fans all over the world.

It messes me up that some official NPUs only really work because they managed to get the parts molded in the necessary colors. These ice cream scoops were also used for the trees in the ? Block, albeit in dark green.

Being an AFOL since god knows when, as much as I like the looks of sets such as this, I'm afraid they they won't match with my existing sets (Sets I have been playing with since 80's, now turned into showcase items). And I have no interest to start a new line of collection now.

Having said that, I'm definetly getting the Horizon set (Or sets, if they release more). You know, because it's in minifigure scale and all.

Very clever SNOT:
1 headlight brick stud up + 1 headlight horizontally (back square up) + 1 technic brick with hole stud up

I love this ! Headlight brick is one of the very best part ever :-)

Not my cup of tea.
But as a big fan of LEGO architecture, I must admit this one is pretty well done. Designers must have spent a hell of time and brain finding the right technique to fill the gaps in angles and corners.

Too bad it's another stadium...

So you heard something from your milkman's, cousin's, friend's brother-in-law that these sets weren't selling well. If only they'd told Lego as well, then they could have saved all that time and effort on making another one. And I'm sure Lego would used this information rather than any data they have on sales.

We need a San Siro set now, because - believe it or not... well, actually, you can look it up - despite being one of the most iconic soccer stadiums and one of the most recognizable landmarks of Milan, they seem to have decided to take it down and replace it with a boring boxy glass shopping mall with a soccer field inside.
I would hate to see it go in such an ingloroius way... and I hate soccer, go figure.

We can define this set as the "Old Santiago Bernabeu". The stadium is being completely remodelled. In a year's time, it will look completely different.

@bealegopro said:

Actually, so do the Australians because they call Rugby Union, Rugby League and AFL, 'footy', which is might confusing.

Anyway, boring set like the other two stadiums. I can't stand football and the disgraceful amounts of money that flow through the top end of the sport.

Brutalist Lego?

I like these stadia, but none of the three appeal to me, I'm waiting patiently for The World Famous City Ground, followed by The World Famous Ingfield!

That is just what I was thinking. The outside of the stadium is supposed to look completely different after the reno is all said and done. Maybe this is supposed to be a tribute to what it has been the past many years. Nonetheless, I think it is soooo cool that Lego has been creating football clubs' stadiums. I wish I could collect them all, but as the price tag shows, that would be a lot of $$$. I hope they continue with these and maybe even create a collectable mini-figure series or some play-scale set with minifigs or something. That would be TOTALLY rad!!!

@Chris87 said:

This model will be the "Classic" version of the "Vintage" stadium.....

I think AFOLS are missing the point here.

Football is the most watched sport in the world.

These must be popular for LEGO to keep on making them, and so far they have produced 3 of the most iconic stadiums in the world.

So in my eyes they are not producing these for LEGO fans but for football fans and then they may draw lots of non LEGO enthusiasts into the LEGO world and sell more LEGO sets.

Well that is my take on it.

So yes a lot of AFOLS will buy these sets but a lot will not based on the comments above.

I think this latest one is the best yet, but will not be buying it!!

I love that they're doing stadium sets and they're actually making large impressive builds for sports fans, but it would be a real shame if they didn't eventually expand into other sports. Especially baseball, which tends to have much more interesting stadium architecture than soccer stadiums.

There are surely some US sports stadiums that would do really well here - Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park, Wrigley Field. And if they did select NFL or College Football stadiums, people would eat those up too. Fans in those leagues spend billions on merchandise every year.

Although soccer is not used much in the UK here now, it was regularly called soccer up to about the 1980s. I still have my Kevin Keegan Soccer Annuals from 1977 and 78 - he was the England football captain then. There is also a book by Bobby Moore (the only World Cup winning England captain)
called "My Soccer Story".
"
Yeah, I find the entire argument hilarious because it's based off absolutely nothing but misinformation. England literally invented both terms. They come from the term "Association Football", football from "Football" (duh) and soccer from "Association". Gridiron (American) football, football and rugby all came from this sport. Way back when, soccer was the slang term used to differentiate from rugby, which was eventually officially named after the school it was popularized in, but both were under the Association Football name until that point. Gridiron football didn't come along until after, but as it became popular in America, they naturally kept the term soccer around to differentiate those two sports. England meanwhile abandoned the usage of the slang term in the 80's to separate themselves from the Americans.

It's funny, because I doubt it'd be as big of a deal or even a deal at all if American men were historically good at football. But because they're not, it's almost like England felt like and some still feel like they need to protect the quintessence of the sport from America or something by trying to separate the same exact sport via name. It's quite literally the definition of gate keeping. As an American I love England, in fact I want to live there someday, but it's such a petty thing to squabble about. Especially considering the fact that America in turn is regularly the team to beat when it comes to the women.

Side note, America and Australia as someone else mentioned are far from the only areas that use the term soccer. In fact, there's a ton of different terms used across the world, including variations of both football (like futbol) and soccer (like sokker) and several terms that naturally mean both (such as calcio). The usage greatly varies too, to the point where they can be three or more different terms commonly used in certain places, like South Africa. "Soccer" isn't the imperial system.

To me, this 10299 stadium looks the best out of the 3 so far released.
Personally owned the 10272 Manchester stadium which was quite fun to build and I should say, the least repetitive build as well.

I am based in Singapore and be stunned to hear when I say the 10272 is doing surprisingly well with some stores out of stock for quite a while.

I would say the 10284 Barcelona stadium is the worst performing out of the 3. The reason being is because of the way it was built, the designer adopted the way 10276 was built (Not saying 10276 was bad, but the built process works well with that as compared to 10284) and the end product looked boring).

10284 retails in Singapore for $499.90 and online retailers are selling them for $249.90 and the stocks are not moving at all.
