30 Forgotten Stadiums Where the Crowd Never Came Back
29. The Strangely Intact Stadia Nacional (Peru)
Peru’s Estadio Nacional isn’t technically abandoned, but it holds one of the darkest sports-related tragedies in history. In 1964, a controversial referee decision during a football match sparked riots, leading to a stampede that killed over 300 people—the worst stadium disaster in history. Though still in use today, sections of the stadium have been permanently closed, deemed too haunted to be repurposed. Some claim to hear ghostly echoes of the panicked crowds, making it one of the most unsettling stadiums still standing.
