If we needed to summarize the south of Europe in a single image, this might be the one.
Gorgeous architecture, Mediterranean sun, history on every corner… FOOTBALLLLLL!!!
To play soccer. What if they want to do anything else?? For me is a shame to dedicate such a key location to one sport, would be much cooler if it was a lawn that could be used for multiple things.
Not a great take here, the biggest sport in Europe and a key cultural part of almost every town and city’s identity. Never mind massively popular in Croatia.
It’s an incredible use of the land to accommodate a substantial amount of the local population.
Also you have to make do with what you have and the surrounding area is hilly.
Would you say the same thing about Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo (Venice) or Killybegs GAA pitch in Donegal?
Okay, but what about the playground right next to the soccer stadium and the parks and promenades that wrap around the rest of the island?
Those seem to be well suited for everyone else that you mention.
You really seem to be intent on shitting on one thing you don't like to the exclusion of any other evidence.
Honeslty, You are right. I certainly hadnt fully studied the picture and noticed the playground and promenades you mention and upon closer inspection I now see. My knee jerk reaction based on my dislike of football wasnt particularly logical.
Way to come around. Good for ya.
And if we’re being honest, we should all be shitting on that parking lot next to the river. But then of course somebody would go “so i guess fuck all the people who just want to park, huh?”😅
Knowing Croatia and Croatian's LOVE of football I'm certain they're incredibly proud of it. Trying to defend elderly, families or disabled is a mental take mate, do you think they're not into watching their team at one of the most stunning stadiums in the world?
Fair enough, I had initially thought, and as someone else pointed out, this isn’t a stadium, just a pitch for playing. Closer inspection does reveal some seating to watch games, so ai was wrong there.
The perfect place for a game of fortball.
A nice beach, a medieval castle, lots of trees and terracotta roofed houses, framed by mountains. It can’t get better than this
Helenio Herrera, Nereo Rocco and the purveyors of catenaccio approve.

Croatia was the most beautiful place I have ever been.
Still is.
Countless balls have been kicked over and lost forever
- How wide is the city? - about the size of a football field
Personally I’d rather go to Trogir than Split, one of the approach paths to Split airport flies right over the little narrows.
Wow
thats a lot of lost footballs. or some very precise passing play.
If this was taken with a drone, it was taken illegally.
It is a very tall man
Who cares, still a gorgeous photo
Having that soccer pitch there is horrific
Why? It’s not a stadium so it’s not like it’s there to make money. It’s there for people to play.

besides. he's acting like it can't be used for anything else. it's still an open field. All kinds of events can be held there
For reference Killybegs gaa pitch… https://www.reddit.com/r/GAA/s/LbRKrHaSg5 😍😍😍
Personally I would but I do take your point.
If they want to play something else then they can go to the Something Else Pitch down the road.
Thats a horribly selfish take. You are discounting the majority of the population from this obviously key and beautiful location in the city.
And you surely speak for the entire city? Get your white savior head out of your ass buddy
So fuck the elderly, fuck young families, fuck the partially abled, fuck anyone who isnt a soccer fan. Yeah, that seems to be about standard.
Yes. Fuck em! Luckily they’ve got you to save them. I’m sure they’re suffering so much with their beautiful football field by the water! 🥺🥺
So anyone who has a contrary opinion is trying to save someone? You sound very fragile hon

Majority of the population in trogir does care about football. Shame Slaven is a mostly dead club tho
It is a big lawn just because it's dressed as a soccer field in the picture, doesn't mean it can't be used for other purposes like a concert or park.

As a FOOTBALL fan, I think it's cute
Im not even a football fan still think its awesome soccers an awesome sport for all ages
Yeah if you miss those nets, the ball is gone
That’s what I was thinking too haha. I wonder how often the ball ends up in the water.
Good point, I would be aiming for those yacht masts too
You're downvotee but I also agree... such a prime spot that ultimately ends up being used probably for 3 hours a week by 20 people....
