Depends on what your definition of "best" is mate. If it's capacity then you have to consider the Maracana for it's atmosphere and sheer size. The Ali Sami Yen on a similar note is one of the most hostile. I like Anfield for it's history. You feel it when you're there. The Shankly and Paisley gates. The Hillsborough Memorial. The Kop. Shankly's statue. This all translates to the stuff legends are made of.
for me its definitely not all those big clubs stadium but it is the smaller clubs stadium like clubs from Turkey. I thought the noise of the stadium made by human can match vuvuzelas.
it's like Indonesia'a Nou Camp..remember how Malaysia shuttlers been abused in the Final Thomas Cup..they were mentally affected until now.. oh wait, Badminton channel is there --->
If personal experience, Shah Alam stadium where Malaysia vs Chelsea for the second time. The atmosphere was awesome IMO. Mexican wave during halftime as well.
dortmund fans i think have been well known as one of the most fanatic fans across europe. that goosebumps you feel when u watch their games at westfalenstadion (its old name i think), u wont feel it at anywhere else. to me, this is the best seat in a stadium u can get.
as stick to the thread title..well for me its quite hard to name the 'best' stadia in europe...bcoz there's too many of em.. I don't wanna mention the likes of Old Trafford, San Siro, Camp Nou, Bernabeu, Emirates, Allianz Arena, Wembley, Stade de France, Amsterdam Arena etc bcoz they're well known. But this one new venue for the 2010/2011 Europa League final did catch my attention
If you meant facility-wise, I'd say Santiago Bernabeu. The seats, the gallery, directors box, changing rooms, everything is classy, just like the old Real Madrid teams.
Atmosphere-wise, Anfield, on a European night, without a doubt. People might get bored hearing that statement & I was as skeptical as anyone else at first but after experienced it first hand I was lost for words to describe the feelings. But of course, the Turks stadiums & Westfalenstadion would be up there too on the list.

Dublin Arena is my favorite stadium in Europe. Second will be Santiago bernabeu. 3rd of course Emirates coz the armory is there. But had no chance to go there when I went to London years ago.
