    Four Most Incredible Stadiums in North America

    Estadio Azteca

    Maybe it's not the nicest, but it is a must-visit stadium(体育馆)in Mexico. Lying in the suburbs of Santa Ursula in Mexico City, it is the stadium that hosts the national soccer game in Mexico. When the 1970 World Cup was there, it hosted 10 matches, including the semi-final, and the final between Brazil and Italy. Estadio Azteca is the largest stadium in Mexico, with a capacity (容量)of 87,523.

    Olympic Stadium

    Given that Canada doesn't have that many professional sports teams (at least not with the same popularity of US teams), stadiums north of the border are generally smaller and don't quite get the same investment(投资)that stadiums south of the border do. The stadium was used for the Montreal Expos, and now is carefully used for soccer games. In fact, it's set to host some World Cup games in 2026, but anybody who's been inside can tell you it's not a stadium fit to host such a big event.

    Madison Square Garden

    Madison Square Garden is one of the best stadiums in North America, and not just for sports, but for concerts and other events as well. If you are traveling into New York City by train, you will see the stadium right as you enter the city, above the train station. Before you get to your seats, the outskirts of the stadium actually look like a high-end hotel. It won't disappoint(使失望)you.

    Michigan Stadium

    Would you be surprised to know that the second largest stadium in the world is a college football stadium? That's right. Michigan Stadium, home of the University of Michigan Wolverines, is the largest stadium in the United States and the second-largest stadium in the world. It has a capacity of 107,601.When you see Michigan Stadium, you know you're talking about college football.
