Any updates on new stadium at Oakland? That ocean front one been delayed again? I think last time I checked it was to be built by 2023 but I bet Covid has changed that.

They should just take down mt Davis I mean shit they don’t play there anymore why do they need to have it if they raiders are in Vegas now

Stretch501st they haven’t started yet as they need to find more funding. The team owners have decided not to try to get the city to fund it because whenever the government builds a stadium their are more regulations.

@@G-546 I have never been a fan of multi billion dollar sports teams getting taxpayers money to fund stadiums. Low-interest bonds is one thing, but actually subsidies are a slap in the face to taxpayers. The designs for it look amazing though if they find the investors. I’m sure they will after things get back to normal.

Stretch501st the only thing that I guess you could say they want from the city is a low purchase price for the land.

I didnt include soldier field bc i just recently did a video on it and i dont consider it a modification but moreso a replacement.

i hope they can figure it out. soldier field must remain. like lambeau. it should never be torn down.

@@soulfly3438 it’s not looking good tbh

The point was mostly to get luxury boxes, but yes mt davis was a hilarious failure... Just like the Raiders

well it wasn't built to seat fans, it was built to bring the Raiders back and that it did

Yep, I remember the first 6 home game for the A's were played here in Vegas at their AAA baseball field. It was memorable for locals to have major league games in Vegas.

I remember watching that they had opened against the Blue Jays in Vegas the Jays just got Roger Clemons and Jose Canseco, a couple of years later Vegas became the Jays triple A team

Just another reason why USC won’t win shit for a long long long time

I found some seats in the renovated coliseum where you can only see the east end zone, what a waste

The renovations are not semetrical which makes the stadium less cool. The stadium never had a good looking exterior so I think that they should have made the boxes above the seats. Or they should have done nothing and made the stadium a public park. Why does a stadium for college football and the Olympic’s need so many boxes anyways.

Problem with that stadium is its just too damn big, i mean they cant even use the one end of the bowl bc its too far away, the rennovation was basically just tripling the size of the press box and luxury seating and leaving the rest the same.

@@forgottenplaces9780 They just need to take out the bleacher seating, that the band sit and have it the way it was, when the Raiders played there but without the track.

Don’t get me started

@@DIRECTORMRSCOTT He’s still not as bad as Bengals Mike Brown. 😂

Good idea

BC Place and Seattle Centre come to mind. What are some other ones?

@@bryan89wr i haven't been there but people really seem to like what green bay did. Like he said in the video, the other improvements to progressive field are wonderful and they did a nice job on Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse as well.

Hard Rock Stadium tops the list, it is a practically brand new stadium

Nobody would know it was a dual use stadium.

I'm surprised the A's haven't moved again. They really got screwed on the Mount Davis deal.

Agree... from a Chicago point of view it’s MUCH worse than the one at & Sox Park

That was my thought. The toilet seat that crashed on top of the classical stadium

Yeah, I clicked on this to see where SF was going to be on the top 5. To my surprise it's not even on the list. They take a stadium and cause it to lose it's register as a historic landmark. Need I say more.

Back when cincy had an NBA team. wish we still had the royals.

I was at the last ever Mighty Ducks game at the Gardens. I swung by and took a whole bunch of pictures after the Robinsons sold but before the Port Authority tore it down.

m and t bank stadium is where its at in Maryland

@@caclax11 it was a nice stadium. We took a trip out there in 2015 to watch the Browns lose.

@@caclax11 M&T is very nice. The new scoreboards in the corners are pretty cool too

@@caclax11 dying to go there just once.

@@justinwarthenRavens owner Steve Bisciotti has invested $150 million, now there are banks of escalators to all levels. He signed a 15 year extension with a 5 year option to renew. He says he might downsize it. A new stadium for the Commaders is on hold until the NFL owner approve the new Josh Harris ownership group.

Idk, if there was a huge outside demand for a team from other cities the league probably wouldve expanded to 32 by now, dont forget the league almost contracted 20 years ago, I think theres really only maybe 2 or 3 cities that make much sense nashville which seems most practical the as arent even considering

First off, great name! I took my father to a weekend series there against the tribe in 2018 and we absolutely loved it. From the staff to other fans couldn't have been nicer to us out-of-towners. I especially loved the brewery down the third base line. We took in all three games and sat in different seats for each. In my opinion, for the money, the left field bleachers are great!

I will admit Comiskey Park (and I will always call it that, I don't care what anybody else says) has been greatly improved from when it first opened back in 1991. Still not great I don't think, but at least acceptable

've been on that upper concourse and it does get windy. Trash blowing around, hats blowing off, rain pelting in. Those baffles definitely serve a purpose. As for the view GR is quite a ways from down town so there's not much to see outside anyway. Agree with others, the Park has improved quite a bit since 91.

I remember how steep the old upper deck was when it first opened. Removing those rows helped a lot. Also going from the blue to the green seats was an improvement as well.

Yeah this guy got this one very wrong.

Btw thanks for highlighting my comment in the last video!

It was also part of the original design, so not exactly a modification lol

White sox park was a victim of changing times and a need for a new stadium, a very bad combo for anyone at that time, while I have been to both versions of the stadium, pre renovations and post, I must say that the newer renovations have made the stadium much better

The Sox did a HELL of a job renovating the Cell

@@hotredboy84 yeah, the renovation really did the justice to the stadium (the name still sucks tho, should be New Comiskey or Comiskey II). There should be a list of stadiums built at the wrong time like Fedex, Trop, Georgia Dome, old Charlotte Coliseum, Alamodome etc.

@@musyarofah1 yeah some people around here still call it comiskey Park or the cell, I find myself saying both sometimes or white sox park lol at some point all three names were correct 😆

Sterile

The original plans called for that. I'm not sure why that it didn't happen though.

They need to leave Chicago because it's cubs territory. Maybe move them to Las Vegas because Chicago only need one team.

No there concrete, at least on the top where you stand anyway (i have stood on them several times) i think they may be solid on the inside too as i remember seeing photos of rebar during construction, the panels on the front are metal but just thin sheet metal, i dont believe that rumor about them taking them down, they were built to stay, unless they had some major surge in attendance which wont happen.

FedEx Field isn’t even the largest NFL stadium in Maryland as terms of capacity, M&T holds 71000 FedEx only holds 68000

They are standing room but only for high attendance games which is only a few times a year

Its not on this list but I do have a video about that stadium…

Shouldnt change the name or always do the opposite of what their customers want…

I like it, its something new and not just a facelift.

Yes it was done to reduce capacity, unfortunately no they didnt do what the rockies did bc the team was getting free rennovations from the concession company and decided not to contribute anything to enhance them, the rest of the rennovation was pretty good tho...

@@forgottenplaces9780 in 2016 the Blue Jays brought in former Indians GM Mark Shapiro to work on renovating Rogers Centre because of the work he did with Progressive field, the Jays wanted to make Rogers Centre have a more baseball only feel and put real grass in, since Rogers Communications bought the building in 2005 they have done a lot of things in the concourses and in the stadium have a less concrete look but when only seeing Progressive field on tv the only thing noticable is the removal of seats on right field replaced with advertising, the Jays might blow up Rogers Centre and build a new stadium as there is no natural light coming in when the roof is close and growing grass there is virtually impossible also it is the last multiple purpose stadium built and the upper deck is round and further back from the field, the Rockies taking the most garbage seats and turning them into a party area where half the people aren't even playing attention to the game is a great idea baseball can get boring make as well have something else to do, the Indians not doing the same thing are missing out but they also seemed like a cheap franchise, I am guess Shapiro made other tweaks at Progressive field but the only one that stands out on tv is taking out the seats in upper right field

@@northernsurferboy They did a lot more than the right field deck, the whole entrance in the outfield was raised and rebuilt and the corner bar was added along with the home plate club it was a good rennovation accept for the right field deck but I dont really credit shapiro for that, Deleware North the concession company paid for everything...

Not really

@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 lol, a quarter of a century isn't a long time, are you on crack

@@uhtredofbebbanburg5748 25 years isn't that long for a Pro Sport Team staying in a City.

@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 Tell that to St. Louis. They had the Cardinals for 28 years and the Rams just shy of 20.

I have a whole video about soldier field, so i did my research, i didnt include that because i dont consider it a renovation rather a replacement...

@@forgottenplaces9780 Ah ok, thanks for the info!

@@forgottenplaces9780 Also, as i'm thinking about this, i'd suggest you do a video on all of chicago's major stadiums (well one stadium, one video) because the history of a lot of them are quite interesting. Like the united center has the blackhawks and the bulls, and before hand they had "Chicago Stadium" which was one of the most interesting stadiums out there. Also after the 2016 win from the Cubs in the world series, the owners got super greedy, built hotels, and more, and the entire wrigley field area kind of lost it's charm. And finally maybe (if you want to) the Chicago fire stadium situation, which is a interesting topic to research.

Maybe

Yea in Vegas

Exactly... concourse is at the base of upper deck

Concourse is the area behind the seating where people go to get concessions etc. that is what I am referring to

@@forgottenplaces9780 the seats are against that wall. There’s no space behind the seats. As for the actual concourse, there are concession stands on both sides of the aisle. You can only see the skyline if you step out toward the down ramps. Plus plus, the wall blocks the wind, too. The better argument would be, why doesn’t Sox Park face the skyline?? That would be sweet.

@@forgottenplaces9780 The Concourse in that stadium isn’t where you said, it’s at the base of the upper deck, which is why all of the entry points to seats are there. That wall that was put up literally sits behind the furthest (top) row of seats and operates as a part of the roof. There are upper and lower concourses at GR Field.

Yeah because they made the stadium face the wrong direction...bad move
