These new football-specific stadiums are a welcome development. Before, both teams were based at multi-purpose stadiums with the pitch surrounded by a running track which pushed the fans away from the action and dissipated the atmosphere.
Another difference between Japanese fans and English fans is that the chanting is much more ordered and regimented in Japan, whereas it's much more spontaneous, gritty (!), and responsive to whatever's happening - or thought to be happening - on the pitch in England!

I see why. Activity-specific structures are generally a lot better than multi-use ones because the whole space is designed for that activity.
Ah, that's also interesting. It also makes sense too, as Japanese tend to be a very orderly people. It really is such a contrast with the rambunctiousness of games in the US or Europe. I think that I like an integration of both. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
