Trading soul for comfort?

Across the world new stadiums pop up at an incredible pace. Just here in little sweden pretty much all the top clubs have new stadiums on the way, or at the very least serious reconstruction and modernisation of the old. Göteborg has it's new Gamla Ullevi and I must say that while I will miss the old stadium I realize that it's pure nostalgia. It was a rotten stadium and not fit for GAIS. But is new always the way to go?

Did not Arsenal loose a huge part of it's identity when they left Highbury?
Or am I just stuck in my ways and unwilling to accept change?

I think the answer lies in the fact that I love all the new stadiums that are beeing built as long as it's not my team that's affected. Surfed around on World Stadiums today and picked out some of my favourite projects. Here is what we have to look forward to in the coming years:

Here is Spartak Moscow's new stadium:

Portsmouth has this fantastic creation to look forward to:

But my favourite is Valencia's new masterpiece:
