Parkstadion
Parkstadion was a multi-purpose stadium in Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, that is no longer used to host any major events. The stadium was built in 1973 and hosted five matches of the 1974 FIFA World Cup. It had a capacity of 62,109 with seats for 45,067. During 1974 FIFA World Cup Yugoslavia set biggest win ever at FIFA World Cup against Zaire with score 9:0. It was the home ground of football club FC Schalke 04 until May 2001, before the newly built and adjacent Veltins-Arena opened in July of the same year. The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson and Pink Floyd performed at the stadium. The stadium is now partly demolished. I personally have only bad memories with this stadium: everytime I saw a game it rained & leaving the parking was always a nightmare.
