My theory is that if this is "world", the venues have to have a use or cultural significance beyond being just the home field for one particular team in one particular league. So...
Roman Colosseum Madison Square Garden Wembley Stadium Rose Bowl (doesn't really fit with the other 3 but I got stuck). |

I have to think that MSG should pretty much be in the running for 1 or 1a on any list.
