The Yankees retractable roof idea makes it look more like a football stadium than a baseball one. I think the Denver stadium idea would’ve been pretty unique, assuming some tweaks were made they could have made it work out. The Delta Dome actually looks kind of cool to me and the overhang for that Dodger stadium idea isn’t that bad. The Tropicana Field retractable roof idea would’ve looked ugly.

maybe it’s just me but i like how the outside looks like a white church idk if it’s possible but if you had stain glass or the look of stain glass with yankees legends idk if other teams have done that before but it would be a great design

The main reason Fenway is still standing is how tightly packed it is into Boston. You stroll along, look up and realize you’re behind the Green Monster! If the Yankees can rebuild with such astounding results, Boston will do it soon enough.

Old Yankee Stadium being torn down instead of a modernization, will go down as the worst mistake in Yankees history. Lifelong Met fan but absolutely loved going to Yankee games at the old stadium. You felt the history every single time you stepped out of the concourse into the seats. This new stadium is abysmal and not worth the trip at all (unless you're a fan)

Imagine the publicity and attention they could have received if the Yanks had celebrated the centennial of their current stadium. As it was, nobody noticed the 100th anniversary of their LAST stadium. News flash: New Yankee Stadium won't last a hundred years. I give it about 29 or 30 before they start looking for new digs, possibly in Manhattan.

Interesting cut off to the video, but the worst part of that proposal was clearly the idea that the Chargers and the Raiders would be sharing the building. I mean two AFC teams? Doesn't make sense. Having said that the actual design is a VERY close second, it's a combo of Soldier Field and Levi's and not a combo that works IMO.

Right? Until you’ve been there, you don’t realize that Fenway is carved into a city block. If you’re gonna upgrade it, smooth out the edges a bit lol. People will take time to get over it, but visiting outfielders will be thrilled when they’re not plowing into sharp corners or flipping over outfield fences. I moved to Houston a decade ago and still can’t believe they once had a hill in center…😔

There are always stadiums proposed that never get past initial renderings… Though I’m still of the attitude that the current stadium problems (too many seats) is the fault of the teams and not anything else.. you raise ticket prices only so much before people stop going… and instead of recognizing that.. they just take out seats to make the rest move valuable, WHICH IS WRONG… it’s only going to get worse.. sports in general are having problems because they are still living in the 90’s dreamworld and not realizing people don’t have the disposable income we used to have… and sports teams will be the loser.

I never so much had an issue with the fact that they were proposing a new ballpark. Inevitably that will come up again. But when it happens, I hope they don't just try to carbon copy Fenway's dimensions, just in a different place - a major part of the charm is that the dimensions actually and organically stem from the street grid around it. NFP felt very needlessly artificial.
