The Alamodome was built to attract a NFL team, so far it hasn't. However, other pro football leagues have called the Alamodome home, as well as a college football team. With. the Jackson County failure to extend their sales tax for the Chiefs and Royals, if the Texan Hunts who own the Chiefs don't get what they want in the Kansas City area, that Alamodome may still land a NFL team... San Antonio's metro has passed the Kansas City metro population, and its demographics is similar. Add not too far away Austin's metro to San Antonio's metro, South Central Texas is TWICE as large as Kansas City's metro... And yes, San Antonio will spruce up the Alamodome to whatever the Hunts wish...

Older arenas such as Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, NYC and what's now Oakland Arena had been heavily renovated while the Bradley Center was still standing, so it's as if the Bradley Center was standing still for way too long. I can't believe the Bradley Center didn't last longer than it did. Things got so bad that then-deputy NBA commissioner Adam Silver dismissed the arena as an NBA facility nearly a quarter century after it opened its doors. That's when you know things have gone downhill.

Amway Arena (Orlando) another one that was short lived, 21 years at a price tag of $110 million (in 1989, not current dollars). Like some others mentioned in the video, built at just the wrong time - better than the arenas built in the decades before it, but quickly outdone by those built after it in the early to mid-1990s
@marcus813 Ай бұрын
Magic fan here. Amway Arena (née Orlando Arena, AKA the O-Rena) was pretty much rendered obsolete by the time it opened. Its price tag would be over US$280M in 2024 money. The capacity was too small at first, but that issue was fixed. One thing that doomed the O-Rena was the luxury suites because they had the unfortunate combination of being as expensive as you would expect and being near the ceiling, making them the worst seats in the house. The Pistons moved into The Palace of Auburn Hills (Mich.) the year before the O-Rena opened and it had luxury suites that were located in a more reasonable part of the arena (even Milwaukee's Bradley Center, which also opened in '88, had suites in a better place), so the O-Rena was being outdone both before and soon after it opened. The Palace changed the arena game and the O-Rena had no hope of keeping up.

Then other Midwestern cities argued whether their new football stadiums should follow suit. Seems like you're damned if you do, damned if you don't sometimes.

Honorable mention to the Mt Davis addition to the Oakland Coliseum. Even the Raiders tarp’d off the top sections of seats for their games for a few years before they left.

@moonytheloony6516 Ай бұрын
I don't agree that the Pyramid of Memphis was bizarre...unless the context of bizarre is in the spirit of being unique which is what the pyramid was in 1991 and still is today. A very out-of-the-box arena design for it's time which is refreshing. If anything it was ahead of it's time considering the arena designs of its contemporaries. I toured the Pyramid in '94 and was rather impressed. The exterior was spectacular, especially at night . The interior was ok, nothing spectacular. I just loved the fact that it was a pyramid...hence unique. Also the city of Memphis is the name of an a city in ancient Egypt, so the choice of a pyramid design was logical/appropriate. I recall seeing two Egyptian statues on the outside perimeter which added to the Egyptian theme. I can't speak to any interior design flaws that reduced the pyramid to a sports/concert venue that wasn't sustainable, however on the upside it was reinvented which is something that is seldom ever done with sports arenas. They usually end up with a fate that involves demolition. Having an ongoing pyramid in Memphis is that very rare nod to ancient history which makes it one of a kind. As for new Comiskey, well it looks about as good as it can possibly look. Is it terrible stadium? Not in my opinion Is it unremarkable? Definitely. It should have been designed to emulate the original park. Is it very accessible regarding the commute? Absolutely. Is it great for watching a game? Certainly. The views are excellent in my opinion. Are the White Sox a terrible team? You can bet your ass they are...but i digress. A horrible venue would define the current stadium for the Oakland Athletics. In direct comparison, I can guarantee you, the reader, that new Comiskey is much better....pun intended. 😜 Hopefully the White Sox can secure a new stadium in the next few years that is not a burden to the Illinois taxpayers , at a more logical & scenic location that is well-designed. The site under consideration would be an fantastic location for them to acquire.

3:48 Well, there’s much more to it than that. Essentially when the Rams moved to St. Louis, the city was supposed to partially fund a stadium that was in the top 25% of NFL stadiums, and maintain that quality, or, pay a penalty to ownership. When Kroenke took over, he used the stadium against St. Louis and demanded a new stadium be built, when they didn’t, he took the opportunity to move back to LA like he wanted to since he’d been on staff.

When the Seattle Memorial Coliseum was renovated to Key Arena in the mid 90s, it then quickly became obsolete 10 years later. Not many suites, seating all around was tight, not suitable for NHL hockey. As one of the reasons why former Seattle SuperSonics owner Howard Shultz wanted the city & State to build a brand new arena. Wasn’t unable to do he sold the team to an OKC group & the rest is history. Luckily all of Key Arena (except for the roof - from the original coliseum) was completely torn out & a brand new arena underneath the roof was built for hockey, basketball & concerts as Climate Pledge Arena.

Columbus had a proposed stadium in the 1980's that was designed to attract the NFL St. Louis Cardinals. The problem: it was going to be a multi-purpose baseball/football stadium, the AAA NY Yankees affiliate Clippers baseball team would have been the other tenant. Thankfully, a ballot measure to fund the stadium failed. As for the MLS and the previous Crew ownership, they went about things the wrong way, even if Original Crew Stadium was antiquated by current standards.

Other ones: Georgia Dome Atlanta, GA Olympic Stadium / Turner Field Atlanta, GA (Atlanta just sucks here :) ) I know the stadium was repurposed again for college football, but... Arco Arena (both) Sacramento, CA

No mention of the Kingdome? I'm surprised

The St. Louis rams stadium really wasn’t that bad. But Levi is already outdate along with MetLife

Georgia Dome didn't last long. It was state of the art when it opened in the early 90s. It's already been replaced.

Columbus Stadium... You say "When MLS was not what it is today." Well, what is MLS today? It is a league where NASCAR will show instead of a schedules MLS broadcast.

The STL dome was built as it was because the city had no team. I remember people sitting around, watching TV, just itching to run out and purchase their "St. Louis Stallions" gear. The sporting goods stores all stayed open late. Jacksonville got the Jags, STL got screwed. Sure, the LA Rams spent a few years there. The city has been in decline since the post WW2 flight to the suburbs. What was once the 3rd largest city in the US doesn't even crack the top 50. St. Louis is DEAD.

Joe Louis Arena was obsolete from day one as well. Forgot to put in a press box...etc. Wings made the best of it.

Arenas. The graphic says arena's. This is a mistake. No apostrophe for plural.

UGH the edward jones dome! My hometown could have totally went with an outdoor stadium! It's still on the taxpayer's dime. DOUBLE UGH!!

Mapfre in Columbus is still a iconic landmark in Columbus even tho the mls team here moved closer to downtown. It still hosts the Columbus crew 2 soccer team (basically the developmental team for our mls team) and i think a woman’s team also plays there the Columbus eagles

Other than there's no entertainment district around Guaranteed Rate for after the game fun I see nothing wrong with it. In fact other than that I think it's better than Wrigley.
