Manchester United today presented the plans for their brand new stadium. The design immediately caught the attention of sports fans worldwide. Especially darts fans could not suppress a smile, as the stadium design bears a remarkable resemblance to an iconic playing venue from the darts world: Butlin's Resort in Minehead.
This British resort has been the setting for prestigious darts tournaments such as the [UK Open](/uk-open) and the [Players Championship Finals](/players-championship-final) for many years. Butlin's Minehead's recognizable white tent structure is surprisingly similar to the design of Manchester United's possible new stadium, including its typical pointed roofs and tent-like construction.
On social media, the comparison was quickly picked up, with many humorous comments from both darts and soccer fans. "Maybe they could host a darts tournament in it right away," joked one fan. Others speculated about a collaboration between the two sports, given the growing popularity of darts in England.
