MANCHESTER CITY have scooped another title – for boasting the best sports stadium in a new poll.
City’s Etihad comes out on top of a survey which takes into account a wide range of aspects including prices, accessibility and eco-credntials.
The 55,000 ground beat Barcelona’s Nou Camp into second place with the Allianz Arena in third.
MLS champions Atlanta United were next on the list with their new Mercedes-Benz Stadium while Zenit’s Gazprom Arena completed the top five.
The best non-football ground in the ranks came eighth in the shape of Fenway Park – home of the Boston Red Sox baseball side.
But before anyone gets too excited at City, the survey by Footy.com did not consider some of the greatest grounds on the planet.
Under their own set rules, their research only looked at 16 grounds belonging to clubs who had won their respective competition last season.
City were considered on the basis of winning the Premier League – but it meant Tottenham’s new ground, Old Trafford or Anfield were not considered.

Neither was Real Madrid’s Bernabeu, the MetLife Stadium in New York or the MCG in Melbourne.
Season ticket prices, cost of a pint, transport to and from matches and smart technology were all ranked.
The remainder of points were scored on the eco-credentials, accessibility and capacity.
