Rugby 2012 - New/Updated Stadiums

[dan the man]

Aslong none of the South African fields are brown I'm happy, man that was hard to look at during the Super 14 and World League. Especially with birds eye view, my camera angle.

But half the fields in South Africa ARE brown!

Lemme give you my opinion about French stadiums :]

-You can forget about Stade Yves du Manoir because the host team, Racing Metro, is planning to move out of this stadium because it's too old.
-I would have add : Stade de France. National stadium, capacity: 80,000. This is where Stade Français play half their games, and it's also where the final of the TOP 14 is played.
-and also, I would not forget : Stade Ernest-Wallon, homeplace of Stade Toulousain.

Let's just hope TOP 14 will be featured in Rugby 2012

and have an attendance slider,.. or something to that effect, like to emulate real life... because in big tournaments and such the stadiums are full and real live.. but in like weekly super14 games, the stadiums aren't really full, but when it comes to crucial games, or rival games, or finals the stadiums are packed and such..

And have like, when you start your season mode, your team is pretty much crap so have the stadiums like 1/3 full... if you get me

This is a pretty kool idea... even if your playing the ITM cup or some super rugby games it's unrealistic to get 50,000+ to attend a bottom of the table clash

Some more options:

Stadio Anoeta in San Sebastian, Spain (often used by Biarritz Olympique in the Heineken Cup);
Wembley Stadium in London, England (sometimes used by Saracens FC in the Heineken Cup and the Aviva Premiership);
Hong Kong Stadium (famous Sevens stadium and used for the Bledisloe Cup);
Boris Paichadze Stadium, Tblisi, Georgia (Georgia national rugby union team);
King Baudouin Stadium, Brussels, Belgium (Belgium national rugby union team).

South Africa have just built a couple stadiums for the Soccer World Cup. It would be great if SOCCER CITY (BULLS and SPRINGBOKS have played there since) was added, NELSON MANDELA STADIUM in Port ELizabeth would also be great as future tests will be played there. NEWLANDS , Cape Town, BOET ERASMUS in Pretoria and the SHARK TANK in Durabn!

I saw a post earlier about the travel of the ball in the air and the fitness beeing important due to the effects of altitude. I agree it would be awsome if these could be added to the weather factors. e.g: Pretoria (Loftus), the Bulls have not lost a S14 match there for 2 seasons and it is believed that is partly due to the altitude advantage and opposition running out of steam in the last 10 minutes or so.

It would be a kool feature if some stadiums would deteriorate quicker than others, like Etihad Stadium and Hong Kong Stadium

I dont really care about stadiums to be honest.. Im too focused on the action to realise where the game is being played anyway

Apia Park?

For wales just the Milenium stadium then the 4 region ones would be good, but got to say rodney parade could just be a generic one as it doesnt really have key features to make it stand out if you get me? its alot like the "UK 1/2" stadiums in fifa.

There's a strong chance Saracens will be moving to Copthall Stadium (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/my_club/saracens/9175247.stm)
