Not only did the Beatles play their last concert at Candlestick Park, because of that, at his request, the very last event that the stadium hosted before demolition was a Paul McCartney concert

RIP Candlestick Park. Makes me miss my dad. He had season tickets to the 49ers but they were way up high, third row from the top. Actually, they weren't that bad. They were at an angle so you had a good view of the whole field and they were under that little overhang so you were protected if it rained. And sometimes if I got out of school early and the Giants had a day game we'd get $5 tickets to sit in the left field bleachers which were pretty uncomfortable but I wasn't complaining. Lots of great memories there. I was sad to see it go.

You know it's a good day when you can learn more about stadiums.

The demolition of the HHH Metrodome was necessary honestly.in 2010 there was a really bad roof collapse due to the weight of the snow on the roof. I believe there was another collapse just before they tore it down

You forgot to mention that the Detroit Pistons also used the Silverdome until 1988, when they moved to the Palace at Auburn Hills.

Used to work concessions at the "Stick" for the 9ers games...our stand was up on the mezzanine deck just above where the coaches and players entered...was so sad to see the demo of this stadium...RIP Candlestick, you will and are missed!

It´s insane and irrational how many (and how expensive they are) stadiums are demolished in the USA, just some decades old.

In 1988 my buddy and I were in San Fran for a baseball holiday, 1 game in San Fran, 4 game series in Oakland to catch the Jays-Athetlics series. We walked from downtown"Taylor and Powel area" if I remember correctly, to Candlestick Park, following 3 St. all the way, as we were told to after asking for directions on how to get there, not being told how far it was

Didn't mention that the Pontiac Silverdome refused to go down after the first demolition. It was hilarious.

Besides the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit, the most recent sports venues already demolished is the Palace of Auburn Hill home of the Pistons and Joe Louis Arena home of the Red Wings. Now they both the Pistons and Red Wings play at Little Caesar's Arena.

RIP Silverdome, you were great, yes as a lions fan we drink away our sorrows but you were a great stadium, now we got Ford field which is awesome with abysmal football so some things never change!

I still think the new stadium the Atlanta Falcons play in now looks like a giant Chinese takeout box.

I don´t mind national football stadiums with tracks, the Olympistadion in Berlin looks amazing.

Akron Rubber Bowl. Built in 1940 and demolished a few years ago. It held 1000's of college, high school and even some NFL games there. I seen the Rolling Stones play there about 40 years ago. Just sayin.

Fonte Nova stadium in Salvador, Bahia state was and still is one of the major football venues in Brazil, and it was demolished in 2010 to give way to the current Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova (Itaipava is a local beer brand that purchased the naming rights), which was one of the venues of the FIFA 2014 World Cup as well as the Olympic football tournament for the Rio 2016 games.

I only ever went to one game at Giants Stadium. It was in 2009, and I got to see both stadiums in person. It was really cool to see

Coincidentally, when the Giants played the A’s at Candlestick Park in the 1989 World Series. A random earthquake started, luckily however everyone got out safely.

A piece of trivia with the Sydney Football Stadium (opened 1988)...it was also used for the initial season of the Australin Baseball League in its' first year of use, 1989. One of the two Sydney franchises that played in that ABL (Mark 1) called it home for their one and only season. They were called the Sydney Metros.

I work live events production and we do events at Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta. More reason than just wanting a new stadium. The biggest was the the new soccer team. The MLS rules about having to play in a open air stadium. So until the new stadium opened they were playing at Gerogia Tech field. Plus they are getting big concerts back because the rigging loads were so low on the Dome plus it was always way to bright.

Metrodome hosted more then just Twins, Vikings, and Gopher football. It also hosted Gopher baseball early season games and other area college early games. NBA Timberwolves had their first season there and set attendance records that year as well. Vikings new stadium also hosts early college baseball games for Gophers and others as well.

actually the Silverdome at one point WAS sponsored by Pontiac, they had the symbol on the rooftop!

RIP Pontiac Silverdome Side Note: i occasionally watch the video of the Metrodome roof collapse and it still scares the crap outta me!

Old Trafford, Wrigley Field, Fenway Park and Lambeau Field are all stadiums I can see standing indefinitely. Short of a natural disaster destroying them they’ll continue to renovate them over and over again but I don’t think they’d tear them down. There seems to be a certain age that if it was going to be torn down and a new stadium built then it would have happened already. Sure there can be exceptions but for the teams I mentioned previously I’m guessing they aren’t among them.

The Georgia Dome was also the home stadium for Georgia State in the Sun Belt for a bit if I am remembering right. Love the content!

I remember watching Braves baseball games on TV back in the 80's, and games played in two of the stadiums in this video were completely different experiences. San Diego games in Jack Murphy Stadium(I can't keep track of corporate sponsor names)were typical Southern California, while San Francisco games in The Stick were typical Alaska, with many players bundled up in heavy coats and mittens like they were waiting to start The Iditarod.

Great video..especially liked seeing facilities from other countries and loved the Horacio CSI bit🙂

as a wrestling nerd, its always weird to hear the tokyo dome mentioned in the context of actual sports

It was terrible to rig in the Georgia Dome, I imagine they were passed on large stadium shows quite often.

Some of these stadiums were real good, can't believe how much construction debris created demolishing those might not needed

Joe Louis Arena in Detriot. Red Wings dynasty played there for many years and was a great old barn

that stadiums in Atlanta was really good it breaks my heart to see it gone HOWEVER the new one keeps my mouth shut. Lancaster park story is sad I wish it was still there

Is it possible for you to do all UEFA Champions League stadiums? There are a lot of interesting ones.

Enjoyed this vid very much. Three continents worth of info. I'm a Wolves fan meself but that Spurs stadium is brilliant. Australia's cricket and Aussie rules football stadiums are some of the best looking in the world. Looking forward to the next... Cheers!

San Diego Stadium was the first big league ballpark I've ever been to - I lived a few miles from it (as the crow flies) when I lived in San Diego.

RIP GA Dome you were so amazing

The H.H.H. Metrodome hosted 3 major events in the span of about 5 months. The World Series in October 1991, 3 months later the Super Bowl in January 1992, and just a little over 2 months later the NCAA Final Four in April 1992. Also, the Timberwolves 1st season was played here in 89-90 and at the time set the NBA attendance record -- It was a great start to a hugely successful franchis....oh wait

Broke my heart to see Candlestick on the thumbnail. Glad I saw some great games there.

Any time someone says something about cutting the mustard I automatically think of X-Pac. "Well Hulk Hogan, YOU SUCK, pal, so I don't think think you have any room to talk about anyone cutting any kind of mustard!"

I really liked the Subi! Maybe it was because I was just too excited to watch be at my first (and only) live Footy match. And Perth was a lovely city to live in and I don’t remember a fine red dust. The new oval must be nice.

i love stadiums and I love this channel

Candlestick has a ton more personality than Levi. Levi is such a disappointment. They should have kept the location, just nee stadium. Candlestick was outdated, but the location was mostly great.

Some old Stadiums will never be torn down Wrigley field in Chicago and Fenway park in Boston

Some of these stadiums feel like a major downgrade and the old one should have never been abandoned. Do a video on best and/or worst stadium replacements.

I was so sad to see The Boleyn Ground/Upton Park get demolished. That was such an historical stadium and one of my favorites, if I am being honest.

Fantastic video, been to a few,and yes Optus in Perth is amazing but the adalaide oval is the best.went to hundreds around Europe when I lived in the UK,not so much these days living down under. Keep um coming along with the brilliant commentry

GREAT video really enjoyed :)

What a shame: You didn't mention Carisbrook in Dunedin. But still quite interesting. Thanks.

Candlestick park was very bizarre looking inside when both teams played there. Do the seating configurations change for cricket stadiums?

The old San Mamés had a longer existence than Vicente Calderón, being built in 1913, had a more peculiar aspect with the arch and was actually demolished in the 2010's. Miss.

Jack Murphy Stadium was a nice place to watch a baseball and American Football game. I got to go to a few Padre games, and the 1991 Holiday Bowl. They changed the name to Qualcomm Park, kicking poor Jack Murphy to the curb.

I thought this was a forgotten places video at first from the title and thumbnail.

San Mamés is missing here. Athletic Club Bilbao stadium 1913-2013. Was demolished in 2013 after new San Mamés was completed.

Im surprised you mentioned the Pontiac Silverdome (which attracted fame mostly for decaying so long) but not Joe Louis Arena. The Joe only lasted for 38 years as the home of the NHL Red Wings but they won 4 stanley cups during that time and made the playoffs for 25 consecutive years. Like many arenas built before the 90s, it was quickly antiquated but it was well maintained, the crowds were usually great and there wasn't a bad seat anywhere. The Palace of Auburn Hills was also recently demolished, not far from the Silverdome and actually a very modern arena that still felt brand new. But it was way out in suburbia with a large uncovered parking lot so not conducive to traffic or urban atmosphere.

At qualcomm, the last team that played there was the san diego fleet of the aaf before the league folded. I thought that league would've flourished for a couple of years (if they would've played their cards right). I really liked that league. It had teams that you thought would've never existed there (salt lake city stallions, eg.).

They finally demolished Lancaster Park, eh? I was during and well after the earthquake, and it didn't seem they were ever gonna tear it down. They just closed off parts of the city that were worst affected and left them to rot.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Shea Stadium in NY ( where the Beatles appeared the year it opened), home to the Mets and Jets, and Busch Stadium, home to the St.Louis Cardinals. A little earlier than your timeline, but worthy of mention.

Te has dejado uno de los más interesantes, por su historia, por su revolucionario arco de 1953 y por la construcción del nuevo estadio prácticamente en el mismo lugar del anterior; me refiero a San Mamés, el campo de fútbol, durante 100 años, del Athletic Club de Bilbao.

There is a new Stadium planned for Rugby in Christchurch which will basically a smaller version of Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin

RIP Candlestick Park..loved that place

Miss Qualcomm, lots of memories outside of watching football. Saw my first Packer game there

7:07 this used to be called TCF Bank and the Vikings played here when the Dome collapsed and while their new stadium was being built and actually left Huntington with a heated field. Personally I’ve been to all 3 stadiums and the one thing that sucked about Huntington is that it has metal bleachers instead of seats. 11:11 this is where the Vikings had to move the game that was supposed to be played the day of the collapse.

You got that å-sound pretty good👌

As a slovak person, I appreciate this video. And yes, your pronounciation was a little bit off, but thats totally common. Great Job

I went to one of the last NFL games in San Diego. It was adequate and easy to access. I always called it Jack Murphy.

Glad to see Subiaco made the list! But not sure what you mean about red dust...Perth is nowhere near the desert. Genuinely amazed you didn't go with a "stuck in the last decade" gag like most eastern staters do. Interestingly, Perth (Optus) Stadium was built next to the site of the old Burswood Dome, which had a pressurised fabric roof and hosted professional tennis games. It was demolished as part of the redevelopment of the entire area for the new stadium.

man i miss football park, don’t get me wrong i love the adelaide oval but i miss the vibe around the old place

Hey Cant wait for the Best Stadiums in Africa video

Either I missed it, or your rundown of San Diego omitted mention that the new stadium for the Aztecs is going up on the site of the old one.

Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara may not survive the 2020's. We'll be looking for it in your "Stadiums demolished in the 2020's" video in 10 years.

San Diego chargers will be moving out of LA in no time. Raiders now have an extra home game

Can you do one on the NHL? Yes, some stadiums are shared with NBA teams, but it will be fun! And if you are running out of ideas, you can do College Basketball (USA).

Make a video about 21-22 Champions league, and 21-22 Europa League

11:58 Rest in peace Football Park/Aami Stadium once the great home of the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide but with every stand destroyed apart from a small park which has a shop full of stuff an Adelaide Crows fan would buy and some other stuff as well as the oval which is used for the Adelaide Crows to train. 7:58 Rest in peace Subiaco Oval. These two iconic Aussie Football stadiums will never leave our hearts, mainly Aami Stadium in my eyes because I am an Adelaide Crows supporter.

I went to the last game in the Georgia Dome and the inagruall game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Do a Texas high school football stadium episode.

Who else remembers Jimmy Carter calling him Hubert Horatio Hornblower?

Meanwhile, David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) played in 2016 in the Pompeii Amphitheater that was built around 70 BC!

"Also, a national football stadium with a track around the field isn't a good look" **sweats in Gelora Bung Karno Stadium**

I hope New Dome Stadium built at Candlestick Park and 49ers back to SF.

0:20 was where the NJ F1 race was supposed to be I believe :(

A crazy stat,SoFi stadium cost a total of 6 BILLION ,the most expensive sporting complex in the world.

sad part is that the iconic san siro stadium maybe demolished either for the rebuild or forever if milan and inter decide to move into their own private stadium. AC milan are planning to build a stadium in sesto san giovanni as it is cheaper to build a stadium their(the area is 14 kms away from san siro) in falck area of milan. they might do it with inter or without them, they are still negotiating. lets hope the new stadium is made on the demolished san siro area rather than away from it.

Next time you update this you could add Oakland Coliseum because the Raiders left and relocated to LV and Oakland will be relocating to a new stadium.

The Metrodome also hosted the Minnesota Kicks and Minnesota Strikers of the North American Soccer League.

Fact : Irish Rock Group U2 has played all of these stadiums demolished & most of the new stadium replacements.

The Humpty Dumpty Dome. I remember when they collaped the roof using a helicopter to clear snow off of the roof.

You should do Missouri Valley Conference football stadiums. The FargoDome for North Dakota State is very iconic

Vicente Calderón was my favorite stadium ever, I’m really sad it was demolished 😞

Should have started off with Texas Stadium which was demolished in April 2010

This list is woefully incomplete without Texas Stadium.

THE HOOSIER DOME IN INDIANAPOLIS HOME OF THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS. REPLACED BY LUCAS OIL STADIUM. ALSO NCAA FINAL FOURS WERE AND ARE BEING PLAYED THERE.

Lancaster Park 1881 - 2019: I think folks got their money's worth, and sure there were renovations and upgrades, but still 138 years is an amazing run.

The Wanda Metropolitano is another modern bowl with no character. Still don’t get why they had to leave the Vicente Calderon, which was a stunning ground! The Rasunda was such a quirky place. A true football ground…but sadly just too out of date. West Ham should never have left the Boleyn Ground.

What about old Cardinal Stadium in Louisville Kentucky? That stadium was demolished in 2019

I'm assuming you didn't mention the Orange Bowl which was demolished earlier than the 2010s! That Football-only Stadium is now the home of Baseball the Miami Marlins AND a minor fottball Bowl game as well.

SydneyFootballStadium was a good place to watch Rugby, regardless of its age. It didn't seem too far out from the main commercial/ business/entertainment district.

I can't believe you did not include Besiktas Istanbul, Turkey. It is one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world and probably has the best location a stadium can ask for.

When I heard ga dome I got sad. Me and my dad had season tickets

As a Bucks fan I'm surprised the Bradley Center wasn't on there, but I will say it doesn't have the atmosphere that its replacement Fiserv Forum does. They honestly didn't need to replace the arena but I will say BMO might have been built on an indian burial ground in 1988.

You forgot THREE RIVERS STADIUM..Pittsburgh Steelers ..replaced with HEINZ FIELD
