#3 Best atmosphere and best fanbases
England is home to the world’s best fanbases, because, after all, football was supposed to be an English game. Xavi Hernandez, who played for all of his European career in the biggest stadium in Europe (at the Nou Camp), acknowledged this when he said “Sheffield United have 20,000 fans in the third division. That’s incredible. You only get that in England. I watched some of a game with Charlton the other day. There was football on television, yet the stadium was packed with supporters. Incredible.”
Football fans who can only watch Premier League football through cable TV can testify to the raucousness. Old Trafford is the obvious fans’ favourite for the sheer volume of noise that the fans generate in that stadium, but the rest of the league has some iconic stadiums which are renowned for having passionate supporters and fanbases. This makes for a great television viewing experience and is one of the reasons why the Premier League is a superior watch for football fans.
