I love how this field is nestled inside such an urban environment. The skyline is in the back is so beautiful. Love the visual effect and practicality of having smaller fields designated inside the bigger field.

The current home of the two time Caribbean Football Union Champs (2010, 2011), and USSF Division 2 Champs (2010) Puerto Rico Islanders FC of the North American Soccer League. The stadium was inaugurated in 1974 as a baseball stadium but after renovations in 2003 it was converted to a Soccer Specific Stadium.
The pitch at “La Islandera” has seen matches played between the Islanders and great clubs such as Cruz Azul, Toluca, Santos Laguna, Saprissa, LA Galaxy, Columbus Crew, Toronto FC, Isidro Metapán, Olimpia, FAS, Municipal, Tauro, Marathon, and many other Caribbean, MLS, NASL and USL teams. The Puerto Rico National team has played WC Qualifiers at JRL against the eventual 2010 participant Honduras, the national teams of the Dominican Republic, Canada, St Kitts, and St Lucia. During last season, even the great Pelé returned to the stadium to give clinics during a promotional visit to the Island. His NY Cosmos visited JRL Stadium in 1975 for a friendly match against the PRMNT.
Details are scant, but from a recent newspaper article, the mayor of Bayamón has mentioned a max capacity of 24 thousand, but also renovations will bring the dreaded change to artificial turf. These improvements will cement JRL status as the Mecca of Soccer in Puerto Rico for many decades to come, and who knows, maybe someday we’ll see the Islanders move up to first division thanks in part to having this great stadium.

Stadium Porn: One of the coolest neighborhoods Ive seen a stadium built in…
Gospic Dolac, Croatia – Nature oozes within this stadium. It serves as the home for Football team Imotski. It can hold up to 6,000 people.
Gospic Dolac is home to the NK Imotski football club in Croatia and the 4,000 spectators that its bleachers hold get stunning views of nearby medieval ruins, the hillside and the Blue Lake. Gospin Dolac was built in 1989 and is situated next to a 500m deep fall into the lake.
