A lot of stadiums around the world have the finest design(beautiful stadiums) and they give pride to the countries where they are located. Yet there are some stadiums where architects have failed and there are some very clever adaptations to the surrounding landscape and that make them kind of weird.
So here I have compiled a list of some of the most unique and weird stadiums around the world. I hope you will like it.
