#2 Lluis Sitjar Stadium

Lluis Sitajar housed Mallorca for more than 50 years

Estadio Lluis Sitjar hosted the home fixtures of current Spanish Segunda division side RCD Mallorca. It could host around 180,00 people and was Mallorca's home for more than 50 years till the Spanish side left the stadium in 1999 for Iberostar Stadium which is their current home.

Mallorca have had little success in terms of trophies at the Lluis Sitajar stadium winning the Segunda division twice back in the early 1960s. Named after former President Lluis Sitajar Castella, Mallorca were the Cinderella story of the league by finishing third in La Liga in its last season at the stadium in 1999.

After being fully closed in 2007 it turned into a wreckage and was finally demolished in 2014.
