    1. Pizza Hut Park - Texas, USA

    Nicknamed "The Oven" by fans of the resident FC Dallas MLS team. If the players turn up 30 minutes late, you get your ticket for free.

    2. Easy Credit Stadion - Nuremberg, Germany

    The home of 1. FC Nuremberg would be a perfect name for a new Manchester United stadium if they ever leave Old Trafford and the Glazers needs to refinance some more loans.

    3. Jobing.com Arena - Arizona, USA

    Home of the Phoenix Coyotes ice hockey team. Given the price of sports tickets these days though, we doubt there is too many unemployed people going to the games.

    4. Whataburger Field - Texas, USA

    Whataterrible name for the home of the Corpus Christi Hooks minor league baseball team.

    5. SportsDirect.Com @ St James' Park Stadium - Newcastle, England

    Two words explain the reason for this abomination: One is "Mike" the other is "Ashley."

    6. ****dorf Stadium - Berne, Switzerland

    ****dorf Stadium? Home of the Young Boys of Berne? Must. Avoid. Obvious. Jokes.

    7. Mitsubishi Forklift Stadion - Almere, Netherlands

    Well if the fans of Almere City aren't able to lift the roof?

    8. Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium - Graz, Austria

    Local team Strum Graz named their stadium after their city's most famous son, only to then revoke it in 2005 when Arnie refused to stop an execution as governor of California.

    9. Hunky Dorys Park - Drogheda, Ireland

    Drogheda United won the League of Ireland for the first time in 2007 when their ground was simply called "United Park." Since then they have gone in and out of examinership and are currently bottom of the league. Not everything so 'Hunky Dory' (an Irish crisp brand) on the pitch then.

    10. Cashpoint Arena - Altach, Austria

    The home of Cashpoint SC Rheindorf Altach. To use text speak: They're not that good ATM.

    11. Bargain Booze Stadium - Northwich, England

    Witton Albion changed the name of their Wincham Park ground for a couple of seasons to this doozy...or should that be boozy?

    12. KitKat Crescent - York, England

    York City 'had a break' from their usual "Bootham Crescent" name for a five-year period from 2005-2010.

    13. Dick's Sporting Goods Park - Colorado, USA

    The home of the MLS side the Colorado Rapids. Arsenal fans beware though, they are owned by Stan Kroenke, one of the Gunners' main shareholders. That rather arguable deal with Emirates won't last forever you know!

    14. Quicken Loans Arena - Cleveland, USA

    The home of the Cleveland Cavaliers is nicknamed "The Q" by fans. However, there hasn't been too many "Qs" around the ticket office since LeBron James left.

    15. Petco Park - San Diego, USA

    Home of the San Diego Padres baseball team, strange that Petco decided to sponsor one of the few American teams not named after an animal.

    16. Middelfart Stadium - Middlefart, Denmark

    The 'atmosphere' at this ground is always said to very intimidating.

    17. Hotto Motto Field - Kobe, Japan

    We won't dwell on this baseball stadium's name for too long. After all, it was called the "Yahoo! Baseball Stadium" between 2003-2004."

    18. Gaylord Entertainment Center - Nashville, USA

    Now renamed the more acceptable Bridgestone Arena; but from 1999-2007 those big, nasty, butch hockey players from the Nashville Predators ensured it was never easy to come away from the Gaylord Entertainment Center with a result.

    19. The Dripping Pan - Lewes, England

    We can't decide whether this is the greatest or worst name for a football ground going. The East Sussex ground has been named 'The Dripping Pan' since it opened way back in 1885.

    20. Kuntz Stadium - Indianapolis, USA
