I know Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara was just completed a few years ago, but they left out a major design element in that there is ZERO shade to the seats unless you are in a luxury box. They really need to take a cue from Miami and install overhangs to shield spectators from the blazing hot sun that usually persists from April to November, sometimes longer.

@zargonthemagnificent330 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah. Levi's Stadium can be really uncomfortable in the cheaper seats, and for a modern stadium it's really uninspiring architecturally. Looks and feels like the 49ers just went for the cheapest possible option.

Numerous studies have been done through the years showing that new stadium construction almost invariably has a net negative impact on the local economy. Construction jobs while building the facilities are temporary, stadiums are hosting major events only a few days out of the year, other events (such as rock concerts) that may fill in on non-sports days could often be adequately accommodated in other existing venues, etc.

You've forgot Maksimir, Dinamo Zagreb's 35.000 all-seater wreck. Two stands cannot be used anymore because of last years' earthquake. There is no roof, plastic toilets are installed on three stands, and there is almost none of the venues for fans. The fan shop is made provisionally, and that's all. The stands are too far from field, and a running track is replaced by a blue artificial grass. There are plans to build a new stadium, but everything depends on a political willingness, because the stadium is owned by the City of Zagreb, not by the club.

Whoever is operating the stadium for the city should talk to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission. When the Northridge earthquake hit in January 1994, the Coliseum was badly damaged. This is an old stadium, opening in the Spring of 1923, mere days after the openings of the original versions of Yankee Stadium in New York and Wembley Stadium in London. They managed to get it safe enough to host American football the following September, but it needed more work. It also needed those necessary-for-big-revenue luxury boxes, of which it didn't have any. Today, it's got all the modern touches a stadium needs, although seating capacity has been reduced from over 100,000 to 77,500. It will be the centerpiece stadium for the 2028 Olympics, as it was in 1932 and 1984. If this stadium, close to the major California fault line, could be saved, then maybe the Maksimir can be, too.

The residents in the area had issues of the streets jammed with parked cars and the traffic snarls there were on game days. The attendees had issues with the lack of parking at the stadium.

As nice as that sounds their are only limited cities that works out well. For a number of cities you’d have unfortunately have particularLy exacerbated problems that come with downtown stadiums such as lack of parking and in certain cities, due to a lack of interest in or availability of taking public transit to the park would be especially acute. SF, NY, and Chicago are exceptions due to always having had robust public transit and a large number of fans willing to use it then say Dallas or Memphis. There is also the noise issue for neighbors, especially for evening games, if houses were in walking distance. It works for baseball in some cities like Chicago and New York but the residents there are long used to the stadiums presence there and they have robust subway/elevated rail service to their baseball parks.

Very few NFL teams exist that don’t have a new/newer stadium. Most NFL teams in older stadiums have taken to renovating them either recently or currently or are planning to shortly. The Packers aren’t replacing Limbaugh Field anytime soon for historical reasons and I don’t see The Bears moving from the historic Soldier Field. The only others NFL stadiums that are at least 3 decades old include Arrowhead (Chiefs), Hard Rock Stadium (Dolphins), Superdome (Saints), and the Bill’s Highmark Stadium (mentioned in the vid). There has been reports that the Bills will start building a new stadium soon to be ready by possibly 2025 so I would take them off the list unless the stadium project never materializes. The Chief’s have just recently upgrade their stadium so don’t see them replacing it anytime soon. The Dolphins renovated their stadium in 2015 so it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. The Superdome is currently being renovated in phases with phase one started in 2020 so again no replacement anytime soon. So there really isn’t any NFL team needing a new stadium right now.

I went to the Oakland Coliseum in 2007 and the worst part about that place was that men's bathroom had troughs. I would hope that they have since gotten rid of those. One good thing about that stadium is that it's convenient to get to. There's shuttle bus service from the airport that drops you off at the BART station which has a long ramp that connects to the coliseum.

I just visited Tropicana Field about three weeks ago, and I honestly don’t understand the heat it gets (no pun intended). I absolutely enjoyed the experience! The crowd of 21,000 for a Thursday matinee included several thousand Boston Red Sox fans, so it was truly amazing how loud the Rays fans were (I even had to turn off my hearing aids). They close the upper deck for most regular season games; if they had 40,000 for a playoff game, the noise would be truly intimidating. One can walk around the entire field, something you can’t do at most baseball stadia, which is cool seeing the game from different vantage points. My only issue is the ridiculous concessions prices, but that’s hardly unique.

PAOK, Toumba stadium is historic and a real caulderon but its too small (high demand games sell out pretty fast and in the last pre covid season the team sold 20.000 season tickets and you had to stand in line for about 5hours for a derby day/european match day). Also there are only 8 entry points to the stadium meaning you have to section off thousands of seats for the away section (that barely fills up). Finally the stadium has a running track that has not been used since the 70s and has only one small section roofed, meaning that if there is wind (which there is a lot in Thessaloniki) or rain (which there is a lot in Thessaloniki) on the winter months (where football is played here) you become an icecube The drawbacks add to the charm of the stadium and the football club but its time to move on, luckily we are planning to do that, but unluckily we live in Greece and worse of all in northern Greece (we have been building a metro line for the past 20 years and its still not finished)

It was definitely built as a multi-purpose stadium, even if it's no longer used for football and the latest artificial turf installation apparently keeps the lower seating level fixed in the baseball configuration. Maybe they could replace all or most of that level with a redesigned seating arrangement more suited to baseball. Other than that, I'm not sure there's much else that can realistically be done to improve it. Real grass is just too impractical to work there, and clear roofs don't work for baseball because of fly balls being lost in the glare. It's a little strange how everything worked out in Toronto. The summer sport (baseball) exclusively has the stadium specifically built to be used all year round including being climate-controlled for winter use, but now it sits entirely unused and empty for about six months (October through March). Meanwhile the football and soccer teams both play outdoors when they could make use of a dome in November and sometimes December, and early March or even February for TFC.
