Legendary football commentator Peter Drury has said that Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu is the best stadium he has ever visited, adding that the structure of the venue looks like a wedding cake.

“Best stadium I’ve visited? I think my favourite is the [Santiago] Bernabeu,” said the commentator.

“To be honest, it might seem a very obvious answer. It is a beautiful building in itself. I think an architect would be thrilled by the Bernabeu.

“I love those white layers, I know it’s not an original description but it looks like a wedding cake,” he added.

He went on to say that the stadium feels ‘dreamy’ and when you visit it, you can feel the history of this iconic football club.

“It goes up and up into the sky and it feels genuinely dreamy.

“When you go there you feel you’re surrounded by history and by a football club whose players over the years have been the greatest in the world.”

A few weeks ago, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium introduced its impressive 360-degree video scoreboard just before the El Clasico match.

This advanced technology offered fans an incredible new experience, becoming a major highlight of the stadium’s recent renovation.

The unique circular screen is suspended from the roof, encircling the entire perimeter of the pitch.

This state-of-the-art addition showcases a level of technical innovation found only in two other stadiums worldwide, both of which are located in the United States.

In addition to the 360-degree scoreboard, the stadium now also features 10 large rear screens strategically placed to provide spectators in the upper tiers with essential information and additional content.

This ensures that all fans, regardless of their seat location, have an enhanced viewing experience.

The introduction of these modern features marks a significant step forward in the evolution of sports venues, offering attendees an immersive and engaging atmosphere unlike any other.
