I
was
excited
to
enjoy
a
stadium
tour
here
in
December
2018
with
my
friend
Sam
on
a
Portuguese
football
adventure.
We
were
in
Lisbon
for
the
Sporting
match
which
was
played
on
the
Sunday
evening
so
we
spent
the
morning
doing
this
tour.
A
lot
of
stadium
tours
can
be
a
touch
on
the
mundane
side
however,
this
one
was
fantastic
from
the
minute
we
arrived.
Our
tour
group
consisted
of
a
very
humerus
and
knowledgeable
guide
who
had
spent
time
in
Australia
which
was
nice
to
chat
about.
He
was
a
season
ticket
holder
and
knew
some
truly
fascinating
bits
of
information
about
the
club
and
its
history.
The
ground
holds
just
over
64,500
supporters
and
opened
in
2004.
I
think
from
memory,
it
was
designed
by
the
same
folk
who
were
responsible
for
The
Emirates
in
London.
The
tour
itself
lasted
around
2
full
hours
and
we
had
a
further
3
hours
in
the
museum
after.
I
know,
I
know.
3
hours
seems
a
long
time
in
a
football
stadium
museum
but
I
love
to
take
my
time
and
soak
up
the
history
and
information
on
offer.
There
is
a
fantastic
mix
of
football
and
general
Portuguese
culture
and
history
mapped
in
as
a
kind
of
timeline.
I
have
plans
to
return
for
a
match
in
the
coming
year
or
so
but
for
now,
I
hold
these
fond
memories
of
a
wonderful
sunny
December
morning
in
one
of
the
more
impressive
modern
football
stadiums.
