I always found The New Den a totally sterile stadium, the old place was a shithole but it did have character.
I think most of the modern 'new build' stadiums are a bit crap, I loved the Baseball Ground and the Manor Ground etc., they were old and decrepit but had a real heart about them.
I think The Valley still holds some, not all, of its old character too.
I think it would be ok with another team playing in it.
It's half finished and in the middle of a huge car park in the middle of nowhere ! You can't get more soulless than that, at least when you leave the Stade Louis II you'll walk out and be in Monaco, not the outskirts of Bletchley !
I love Craven Cottage, I remember walking down there past the Thames for the League Cup game in the early 90's, beautiful late summer night and a decent crowd too, no bother at all.

the Riverside and MK dons are souless holes
The Old Den could never be called Sterile Imo it was a shit hole but a very atmospheric full of football memories shit hole
MK dons is a different planet all together.
Wigan
Fulham
Fulham has masses of character, riverside location, historic stand, the Cottage, the Michael Jackson staue!
Fulham has tons of character.
Colchester's new ground in terms of complete lack of soul or character.
Been to the new Wembley about 5-6 times now. Decent for gigs but awful for football.
I always felt Loftus Road was a very dull ground.
