FIFA 16: 9 New Stadiums Revealed

8. Fratton Park - 21,100

Portsmouth's Fratton Park seems like an odd choice to include on the game. After all, while Pompey have been a Premier League side in recent years, they've slid to three relegations all the way into League 2 mediocrity. However, there's a deeper reason for Fratton Park's inclusion. Simon Humber, Creative Director of the FIFA game series, sadly passed away this year after battling cancer. He was a huge Portsmouth fan and so the team decided to build the stadium as a tribute to Humber, the man who birthed the idea of Ultimate Team. It's a great touch by EA, and you'll also be able to see a small wreath of flowers behind one of the goals mimicking how fans in real life honoured his death.
