Stadiums – postcards and photos of sports venues
Stadiums are the temples of sport, and each one has its own story. Postcards and other items capture them as they were when terraces had no seats and floodlights were a novelty. At FANzone you will find stadiums from Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

What you will find in Stadiums
The range consists mainly of stadium postcards from around the world: Burnden Park in Bolton, San Siro in Milan, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, stadiums in Hong Kong, Havana, Kingston and Valparaíso in Chile, Sousse in Tunisia and smaller grounds in Germany and England such as Stendal, Coburg or Farsley Celtic. Many of them show stadiums that have since been rebuilt or demolished.
How to assess a stadium postcard
Value depends on age, the rarity of the motif and condition. Postcards of lost stadiums, match views with spectators and postcards of small clubs printed in small runs are the most sought after.
Frequently asked questions
Why collect stadium postcards? They document how sports architecture has changed. Postcards preserve stadiums that no longer exist in their original form, and for groundhoppers they are trophies from the grounds they have visited.
How can the age of a stadium postcard be determined? By the postmark, the stamp and the publisher, but also by the stadium itself: the shape of the stands, the floodlights, the scoreboard or the surrounding buildings.
How should stadium postcards be stored? In acid-free sleeves or albums, away from direct light and moisture. Do not store them with rubber bands or paper clips.
