The eyes of the world have been attracted to the new plan of the Stadium of £ 2 billion of Manchester United since the announcement of this week's club.
The 100,000 square sand proposed by the Red Devils will become the largest soccer stadium in the United Kingdom, exceeding the 90,000 Wembley capacity.
Old Trafford has organized 115 years of notable football, but it is time to move on to a new home, particularly because the stadium has been slowly crumbling.
However, the futuristic design has attracted attention for its unique and strange appearance, including three masts described as 'The Trident' and a large 'umbrella' cover.
Some fans commented on the undeniable resemblance to a circus, quite suitable for a team that languishes in 14th position in the League.
Although the United Modern Stadium project seeks to be completed within five years, there have been many ridiculous stadiums that never came to fruition.
In that, Mail Sport analyzes the plans that were never fulfilled.
Man United presented plans for a new Stadium of £ 2 billion that would be key to a regeneration project
The project has been headed for the property of a United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS,
The project would see Old Trafford, home of the Red Devils during the last 115 years, demolished
1. Liverpool and Siamese Fusion of Everton
In 2010, a Merseyside consortium proposed the idea of a strange “Siamese stadium” to unite the location of the two fierce rivals.
The proposal would maintain two separate stadiums, but would join the two buildings through a 'central column'.
The Scouse union was suggested as a way to save money on construction in an attempt to persuade the parties involved.
Taking into account the rivalry of the Toffee and the Reds is the longest derby in the English upper flight, from 1888, the plan was of short duration.
It would be unimaginable for Liverpool and Everton fans alike sharing a location, therefore, frame this project before it had even begun.

2. ChelseaThe commitment to revive the Battersea Energy Station
In 2012, Chelsea presented a bold offer to buy battersa Power Station, seeking to turn it into a stadium of 60,000 squares.
After playing in Stamford Bridge since 1905, Abramovich's Roman era wanted to leave a brand out of the field and in it.
The construction was estimated at more than £ 1 billion and would also have led to the installation of a new subway station for the stadium.
However, the restoration costs of the power plant and the planning permit for the new internal land of Chelsea were too complicated, since the blues chose to remain on the bridge.

3. RELOCATION OF PORTSMOUTH'S FRATTON PARK
The iconic Fratton Park was almost replaced by an ambitious plan to relocate the stadium on the southern coast.
The stadium design, produced by the Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, sought to channel his previous successes of the Allianz Arena and the Beijing National Stadium.
The seat capacity would almost have doubled in the attempt to build the striking stadium near Gunwharf Quays and the renowned Spinnaker Tower.
However, with the costs that increased to £ 600 million and the concerns of the local government, the stadium continued.
Later, in 2008, the financial crisis destroyed the latest hope for the plan, which led Portsmouth to focus on developing even more Fratton Park.

4. Marvel Mediterráneo de Barcelona
While Barcelona continues its Nou Camp reurbanization, with the aim of being the biggest stadium in Europe, they contemplated an idea elaborated on the city coast.
The Catalan giants explored options for their stadium development that included a stadium of 150,000 squares.
Although the perspective was sensational, logistically the terrain would have been extremely difficult to complete.
A bridge and a meticulous support structure were required in the sea for the building itself, so it was no surprise that the crazy proposal was dismissed.

5. 'Blue Volcano' by Dinamo Zagreb
The Croatian side launched a design competition for its possible new stadium in the 2000s.
The winning design was nicknamed the 'blue volcano' due to its strange outdoor of blue dome.
A referendum on the proposal was postponed several times and never came true despite the intriguing conceptual design.
Since 2008, Dinamo Zagreb has continued trying to build a new stadium, but he has not been able to do it, burying the eccentric blue volcano.

6. LAZIO DIVIDADO DE ROMANÍS
The exchange of the stadium is the norm in Italy, since the Italian giants AC Milan and Inter Milan share the San Siro, while Rome and Lazio Cohiten at the Olympic stadium.
But the latter sought to break the tradition in the 2000s, seeking to erect its own football base.

However, a dominant issue in the 2000s, the 2008 financial crisis, interrupted the possibility of Lazio's own stadium, sending the Biancocelesti back to the Olympic Stadio with the tail between his legs.
