Thanks a lot to Sport 24 for supporting this video! Sport 24 is a live sports channel, free to passengers on airlines and cruise lines… meaning you never have to miss a match again! ✈🛳Check it out: bit.ly/3AjSHdE.

I thought this video was going to actually be about How Stadiums evolved, in both design and technology, and how they differed based on the region and why. Not an argument about How football has lead to the decrease in Religion

The only criticism I can find in this video is the association of falling religious attendance to the rise in attending football matches. The fall in religious attendance is not necessarily caused due to the rise of attendance in Football matches. There are far more important factors that constitute how many people attend religious ceremony and how many attend football matches

Hey athletic interest,we are waiting a lot for the video of how Barcelona is signing big names even at its low financial status...hope u make it soon♥️

Tbh when I was in munich in the Allianz Arena and hambourg in their stadium to watch their games everything inside felt super cold and soulless. From the outside the Allianz Arena looks super modern but inside everything is just made out of stone. Understandable because of everything that can happen there like beer, food or puke what will splash on the walls.. but it still felt like missing some character. (I am just talking about the stadiums itself - totally aware that chanting people can bring up some atmosphere) Some warm wood, colours and decorations would definitely make a huge difference and give a more ''homecoming'' atmosphere.

The name "The Cathedral" explains how sport took a major part of our lives

“When you start supporting a football club, you don't support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong.” -- Dennis Bergkamp

I love the new stadium with new technologies and stuff, but when the old stadium was demolished I felt like the legacy of the old stadium went down with them. As a Liverpool fan, I can't imagine if our stadium is no longer Anfield. I prefer renovation instead.

football has always been full of emotions cant believe a life without football

That American joke is so classic 🤣🤣😂😂

Great video again! Thank you so much!

This is the best channel. Production and the information is amazing. Can't forget that soothing voice.

I really like this channel and normally enjoy the videos, but I didn't like this one too much. It all felt really disconnected as if they weren't sure what they wanted to talk about and just jumped from a topic to another trying to show some similarities that seemed really forced. Maybe the premise wasn't so good. I hope this was just a fluke because your content is usually pretty good.

Hey all, just a quick note to be fully transparent: we now changed the thumbnail and title of the video (again). We felt that the original one didn’t really do justice to the story 🏟. For anyone wondering why we would change thumbnails in the first place, here’s a great video by Veritasium breaking it down: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iZioe72BrZu3nps.html. Thanks for all the feedback ✌!

Is such a joy thinking on the research you've made for this video. Once more, thank you.

feel's illegal for this channel to not have more subs

The story of Tottenham and it's new stadium is a fascinating one 💯 As Athletic Internet have previously covered that their new stadium generate €5 million in profit for each matchday and it's first of many features ( like the first retractable pitch, first inbuilt brewery and longest bar in the UK! )....... I personally think it would be enjoyable if you guys covered a video about Tottenham's new stadium in the near future ❤️

The detail of colonization in south américa , making half chile in the map shows your attention and dedication, Thanks

Love This Channel Gets Straight To The Point And Doesn't Promote Fake News Unlike Other Channels

Great Video!

Always love your videos ❤️❤️

I'm a Man U fan but more importantly a Football fan. Absolute disgrace the San Siro is being knocked down. Arguably the most iconic stadium on the planet just gone. The fact that 2 top teams share it just makes it even more iconic. Should never be destroyed.

It’s not only association football, but sports in general. In Canada it’s hockey, in New Zealand it’s rugby union football, Japan and Korea has baseball, Australia has rugby league football and AFL. America, you find passion for different sports throughout the country.

Always has been

Nice video Athletic Interest.

An amazing video... as always! Thanks, guys for your work. Btw, is it possible to contact you with a tip for an interesting video?

Great content as always

Hello again Athletic Interest 👋

Great vid

I just want to say that I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

In certain countries/cities/communities football is already being seen as a religion where you need to attend/preach about it on daily basis.

Brilliant!!

Fascinating video as always! That shot at the Americans made me burst out laughing as it was perfectly deadpan

Very clever video

This channel is very addictive ❤️❤️

What a great thumbnail

Excellent video make a video on american college sports

is that Thomond Park 44 seconds in??

8:08 Are you sure? Coronavirus is one example😂😂. Nonetheless great video! Keep it up!

Where can I find the sources used to make this video?

The colluseum was even used for a place to do a party

There's more chance of me changing my religion than me changing the team that I support

Not you talking about rising ticket prizes when showing a picture from my fav team, that hit hard...

Legends know the title of video has been changed!!

4:36..best moment of the video...FOOTBALL in US..😆

Akchually, the Colosseum hosted some events during Rome Olympics in 1960. Sadly not fencing but wrestling

Make a video on cricket

Yes

for reference i live in the united states, i was a building trades union plumber for 14 years in construction in that time span i work on 2 new stadium projects from ground up, lincoln financial field and citizens bank park, i've worked on zero churches.

Gelora Bung Karno stadium in 0:53 👏

I love football ❤️⚽️

Always had been!

I think one pope recently said something like "Out of all the unimportant things in the world, football is the most important"

This is the best football page

see also the Hallaton Bottle Kicking fest in Leicestershire, England \m/

The colloseum held that iconic performance by lizzie mcguire and isabella

Mittlerweile der einzige KZfaqkanal den ich verfolge.

Title seems sentimental

It's the thumbnail for me

Football is an economic cog and a manifestation of the ideals of secular society, it doesn't necessarily mean it's an objective measure of truth or purpose. It's great as entertainment, but let's not kid ourselves, it's a want not a human need.

Bro you should try those sleeping voice tings I suffer from insomnia and would love hear this voice when i go to sleep

Hey man please make video about Indian premier league of India 📊

Don't know about football but Cricket is definitely a Religion in India

how its made' voice ? :o

In Germany, the BVB Fans call their stadium "der Tempel" which literally means temple.

Was will and always be ❤️

I feel sorry for my friends who don't watch this channel. And that sponsor, wow!

In some religion. Sports is also the major part of it's religion, for example in Islam, physical activities are necessary to make the body fit and healthy for do anything good in our lives and help the others, also the Prophet were mastering in archery, horse riding, swimming, and wrestling. In Hinduism there's Yoga, in Chan Buddhism there's Shaolin with martial arts, etc

Why did you change the thumbnail

Was the name of this video changed?

As a confused American, I would like to buy an indulgence from Athletic Interest.

3:45 se muestra el proceso en que un correntino con asma corrió a un imperio de Sudamérica

The kuip has way more religious value to most feyenoord fans than any church could ever have, always good to see the kuip being mentioned during a video

so thoroughly researched and presented. This is peak quality.

4:46 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Football has always been my religion, tbh..

We love de Kuip. We don’t want our cathedral to be replaced, we want our cathedral to be renewed.

Why change the name of the vid?

8:09 god is in Hamburg!!!

In my country... Football is Religion. Religion is Politics. Politics is Football.

Always has been😌

Why do you always change the titles of your videos?

Bro the first thumbnail was fine it was more attractive it can draw a lot of attention. Football.. the new religion

I feel that all the modern stadia look the same, oval, smooth edges and a partial cover up top. One of the reasons why famous stadia were iconic was because of their unique designs. Whether it's Santiago Bernabeu or Camp Nou, soon they'll look all the same.

The Americans confused, wondering why no one was picking up the ball....this killed me.

I really like your videos Athletic interest, but you really missed the mark with this one. I think claiming that the decline of religion is directly linked to the rise of sports is very ill advised. To me it's a very clear example of cause not neccessarily equalling causation. Here is a different example: Over the past 200 years or so the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has greatly increased, while the amount of people who consider themselves religious has decreased. Therefore the CO2 in the atmosphere directly causes people to become secular... That is of course complete and utter nonsense. Also the vague connotation that stadiums are basically churches and Letters of indulgence are like tickets to a sportsgame is, in my eyes, completly ridiculous.

The current stadium is collapsing glad they are getting this underway

I get what the premise was, but it would have been better served as an analogy. There correlation between religion and football was not causation. In fact when you look at the individual cultures of the countries and football like Latin America and Italy, the ones you mentioned, religion and football is very closely intertwined, especially Christianity and Islam from both players and fans. So trying to insinuate, that the increase in football is somehow connected to the fall in religion, while wasn't malicious it was simply a poor argument

ogs would know that this video was called “Is football becoming our new religion?”

Absorbed* not Abzorbed

I love how ManU appeared when Hell was mentioned at 6:45, they are the devils alrightヾ(●´∀｀●) ヾ(●´∀｀●) ヾ(●´∀｀●)

🚨WRONG🚨WRONG🚨WRONG🚨 💢This is the worst video this acct has made. There is no real causation between the two. 💢 👉The drop in the use of the colosseum was actually a good thing since so many people were sacrificed for sport. You'd have a better argument talking about the fact that the rise of stadiums now reflects the rise in corruption in today's society. That "players" are sacrificed for the entertainment of the masses having to now play too many games. 👉As for the church trying to "cancel" Mob Football, isn't sport-related violence bad? Aren't multiple governments trying to do the same about the so-called "English Disease"? 👉Talking about new nations taking up their national teams' identity over religion is a super long stretch. And would have more causation with the rise of nationalism than the rise of football. Football leagues were started generations after South American nations became independent. ❗*(5:01)Your chart about "attendance falling for DECADES" goes from yrs 2016-2022 * ❗ 😠I could go on. There is SO MUCH WRONG with this video. 😠 🤦‍♂ Just take this video down. If your research is this shoddy I'm now curious how wrong you were in other videos. ‼

This video is incredible but the part you said not even God can stop stadium of being the center piece of the community that false God can do anything 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I agree with a lot of commentators about the false connection between religion and sport. I also wanted to add, that I wouldn't call the events in the Colloseum "sporting events". Sure, there were some sporting aspects, but calling it like that ignores the other stuff, that happend there. Despite my critique, I really Like your channel and your videos. Keep up the good Work, AI!

Feyenoord has a group of fans that would never want to trade in the current stadium for a new one. I got to admit, the atmosphere is amazing there.. But it wasn't because of the fans that Feyenoord won't build a new stadium, The cost for material and workers went up soo much that Feyenoord can't afford it anymore. The expected building costs where 440 million euro.

This doesn't feel historically accurate or even logically accurate, although it's a pretty video with a nice, soothing narrative. First, i highly doubt the 12th century sport was called football, and although it was played by two teams with the goal of putting a ball inside a door, this doesn't mean you can call it that, or that's it even a precursor of modern football. Why not call it rugby then. Second, modern stadiums are not representations of the city. They are usually built by foreign investors, foreign architects etc. Usually, at least in Italy, the city itself even tries to make it as hard as possible to make these stadiums happen in the first place. Even when it is a domestic attempt, like for world cups, it's usually ill suited at best, or worst detrimental to locals, like in Brazil, Russia or Qatar. The capitalist problem of modern football, usually greatly exaggerated, is true for the stadiums, where the benefits of fans and the cities that host the stadiums is all but a fairy-tale (there may be an exemption in the Premier League, but elsewhere I'd say it's the rule).

As the title suggests, I thought the video would explain the differences of football stadiums between 1972 and 2022. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE ANY KIND OF EVOLUTION. I don't really see the purpose of a wrong title here.

what about esports, and virtual stadiums ? I think gaming is much bigger then any sport

Athletic interest, I don't know what got into you but please be more respectful towards God, God doesn't hate sports and if he did don't underestimate the power he has.
