Springfield Park

If it was called Winterfield or Autumnfield Park it would have just been mud. Much nicer in Spring, and indeed when Summerfield Park for that matter. Winter felt cold, how did Springfield?
First-​Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium — I wasn’t a fan of Springfield. I only visited once, as a tourist, in the early 90s, and I could tell that it would not create the kind of atmosphere that Wigan needed to succeed. Once they moved into their new JJB, they’ve been achieving so much since then. So definitely not one of the better stadiums I was ever in.
I’ve been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review — like all my reviews — are from first-​hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was «stuck» in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I’ll post later. Also, when back in UK I’ll take more pix, and add more stadia!

The Springfield Park Stadium was one of the least impressive in the UK, it looked more like a run down running track, and it needed replacing very badly. It was one of the worst stadiums I ever went to.
Wigan now have the grand and shiny new JJB aka DW Stadium, and it’s a much better place for football. But some fans will still remember this stadium fondly.
