As a Chicago-based sports analyst with an MSc in Sport Science, I’ve crunched the data on all 8 venues for Euro 2025—and what you won’t see on TV is the real story. From Basel’s St. Jakob-Park to Lucerne’s ‘tragedy of the commons’ stadium, each ground holds more than just seats—it holds history, strategy, and quiet revolutions in football culture. This isn’t just geography. It’s analytics dressed as drama.
