off to a strong start, criticizing the most durable stadium in history for crumbling after 2000 years lol

2:40 "When you look at the Colosseum now, it's crumbling". The Colosseum in Rome was built 1940 years ago. I've been there twice, and they still let thousands of tourist wonder around in it unescorted, I would like to see the condition of any modern stadium in the United States in 1940 years.

This would’ve been the perfect vid for a seat geek ad

''The New National Stadium in Warsaw has been closed down after the discovery of a major design flaw: No matter where you sit you are always behind a Pole...'

I don't even go to baseball games, but here I am watching a video about poles.

I’ve known how you’ve looked for a while but I thought at first you were a 5’7 white kid that always wears a hoodie that’s around 19 yrs old

If you ever been to Globe Life Park, you’ll quickly realize why no retro style stadium ever brought the poles back.

i took four years of civil engineering classes, and this is way more interesting than any of my professors ever were.

This is becoming more of a channel about stadiums. I have absolutely not objections to that. Keep up the good work 👌🏽

Can the engineers also get rid of the tall person who always ends up in front of me please.

Ok everyone it's time we have an intervention with FivePoints for his Stadium addiction.

Last time I was this early edp was still employed

Know why there aren’t any more poles in MLB stadiums? Ever have an obstructed view in Fenway. Cheap price, discount vision

minor points to an excellent vid: The Romans DID make wood stadiums... its just that the concrete ones are the ones that lasted. In fact the worst stadium catastrophes ever were not the various horrific disasters like at Hillsborough or Bradford City. Not by a long shot. There was a wooden stadium made for gladiator games just outside of rome (Fidenae) that collapsed just about exactly 2000 years ago which apparently killed a minimum of 20,000 people. Also, the fact that the Colisuem is crumbling and doesn't look much like it did almost 2000 years ago is certainly at least partially due the fact that the marble overlays were long ago stripped from the facility. The fact that so many roman arenas and coliseums are still around and basically structurally sound is a testament to the lasting power of concrete.

Can manscaped fix my broken marriage though? I saw Sheryl texting Dick Clippers the other day. I feel so alone

The intro answered all our questions. Then FivePoints gave us a history lesson.

As a visitor of Yankee Stadium and Memorial Stadium in the 70s, it sucked because there was no easy way to know if you had an obstructed view seat. Memorial Stadium started putting it on the tickets in the 80’s.

Comiskey Park was supposed to be the first stadium without poles but it added to the cost so like the rest of the stadiums of the time had poles.

"Genius engineering" That's the power of German engineering

alright, that manscaped ad is the first one that made me actually laugh out loud. 10/10

I actually kinda like the poles, it gives the stadium a nostalgia feeling and a remembering of the good old days

The good things about poles is they brought the upper deck relatively close to the field.

They did manage to remove the support beams on old Yankee Stadium in the mid 70s and extended the grandstand by several rows.

I actually sat by eagles fans in Minneapolis, they were really calm and friendly, they were mostly quiet because they lost 38-20, but when it seemed close they were not as annoying as most people think, as long as it's not in Philadelphia you will be fine.

At the winter classic this year, the people sitting next to me had the great view of a pole

FPV I appreciate your humor on how you makes us sports fans laugh and give us some brightness and something to smile about in this tragic time. I thank u

I remember going to a Columbus Clippers game at the old stadium in Columbus when I was younger. My dad and I went to a "dime a dog" game and ,you guessed it, we ended up sitting right behind a pole. Luckily I was just there for the cheap hotdogs.

As a civil engineering student I really appreciate these structural analysis videos

The most random video I’ve watched, yet I love it

R.I.P. Kobe Bryant (1978-2020) and Gianna Bryant (2006-2020) Gone but not forgotten

I used to go to the old Yankee Stadium (when Mantle was still playing) and, being a kid, I just figured the girders were part of the game.

Ebbet’s Field was infamous for this; even including seats directly behind poles.

I'll never forget the time the family went to the old Comiskey Park to see the White Sox and instead we were directly behind a pole. I mean it was literally six inches in front of us and made it impossible to see the game whatsoever. I can't believe they placed seats there.

I like your stadium vids. Keep it up!

No way! My neighbor is from Poland and he's always attending New York Giants' games! There are more poles in the crowd too!

Everybody gangsta until the stadium collapses

I liked Wrigley when i went to watch a game there...it did help that i was sat in the wings near 3rd base and had a great view of the home plate. Got a great view of Rizzo hitting to beautiful HRs as well

"How" is a much more interesting question than "why"

The old orange bowl in miami had those same poles. I took many pictures of the stadium before demolition.

love this channel!

It was such a pain sitting behind a pole during a wingnuts game at Lawrence Dumont. So glad I don’t have to do that at modern stadiums

KZfaq: So how many stadium videos are you gonna make? FPV: Yes

A seat geek plug would have tied into this video perfectly

Waiting on that tps video in an hour.

Aaah, there's the "I sub to B1M" reveal video I was waiting for ;) Fantastic job, thanks a lot!! Also: TRIM DEM BALLS^^

The poles disappeared at the cost of upper decks being set back so far back from the field that not one upper deck in the league is worth sitting in.

i had no idea this just came out until i saw the lawnmower 3.0 ad lol

This video should've been sponsored by seat geek

Ahhhh...reminds me of my first game at Wrigley Field. We sat behind a beam and the overhang of the upper deck obstructed the view too. It was still a magical experience tho.

to be fair, the Colosseum is 1,950 years old. Sports stadiums these days are replaced around the 30 year mark

Waiting on the xfl and aaf stadium reviews

Great vid! I chuckled when you said "vertical beam" though.. aka a "column"

Very Well Done! You did your Homework! very informative. Structures 101

Five points deserves an Oscar nomination for his short films, aka his “sponsors”

i love all of your ads lmao

Would have thought seat geek would sponsor this with their feature to see what the view looks like from the seat, allowing you to avoid poles.

Honestly the best channel on KZfaq

It's a good thing new stadiums don't use poles anymore.

Bro, you just popped up in my timeline, I stayed only because of your info commercial, shit I’ll probably buy the razor because of you. In a word, marvelous.

"Wow dick, I love quiet stroke technology." I'm dead🤣.

I will answers this myself... 100 years of architecture and engineering development.

Cleveland's FirstEnergy stadium still uses polls on the 2nd deck of the western end of the stadium to hold up the Tennessee shaped scoreboard.

Cloud you do an entire video on the Polo grounds? I am obsessed with that stadium and I'd love to see your perspective ect

The astros cheated

Wow the old yankee stadium was a lot different when it was first built. Renovations in the 70s changed it a lot

Your man scaped ads are gold 😂

I still like the intimidating, cavernous upper deck of old Yankee Stadium. The new stadium just isn't the same.

Yeah the rain is more of a problem now though. The roof covers much less.

*Insert joke about poles being more watchable than "insert team here"*

To be fair these few stadiums should allow you free beer and hotdogs for sitting in the obstructed spots behind the poles.

In the old Yankee Stadium, the upper deck seats were closer to the field.

aka a bill o brian😂😂 so true🤣

“F them poles” - FPV 2020

The biggest reason the colosseum is in ruins is because it was pillaged over decades when it wasn’t in use.

FivePoints Vids: Home of stadium videos and Manscaped ads

Would love to see a video of the closest football stadiums in the US

Why are there no poles at modern sports stadiums? FivePoints: Genius engineering Chevrolet: Technology and stuff

Poles were not a problem. The seat got you into the park and after the game started - you could move into a better seat. If someone sat there then you just found another one.

Fans are also farther away from the field now with the elimination of the poles. Example, the closest seat in upper deck at Guaranteed rate field is farther away the farthest seat ever was at Old Comiskey. I think it same at United Center vs old Chicago stadium

I've been to games at Candlestick Park and sat behind poles there too.

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought it was a comparison of NASCAR fan attendance then and now.

Awesome video. Contrary to popular belief, gladiator games in the Roman Empire rarely ended in death, and if it did happen, it was usually by complete accident. At the time, gladiators were trained by entertainment companies, and the owners didn't want them to die because it was costly to train a replacement. Also, the games back then were their version of the WWE, purely for entertainment. I took a Roman civilization class in college and Adam Ruins Everything has a great video on it.

The Moment you realise that a Sports Yt channel helps you in architecture

In Detroit at the old Tiger Stadium obstructed view tickets were sold at a reduced price.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to wrigley field and sat behind a pole

That sponsor segment is my favourite ever 😂😂

Okay are you happy KZfaq I watched this vid, I’ve seen it for months in my recommandations

4:26 Why is this so satisfying to watch

Best content about Stadiums and manscaping. 😂

Maple Leaf Gardens, the former home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, didn't use poles and pillars for its design either, despite being built in 1931. The trick with the Gardens is that the entire bowl of seating works as a flying buttress, giving support to the exterior walls. The 4 corners of the building then work as arches to hold up the roof, giving the building its iconic domed appearance and high ceiling. This didn't change even after a renovation in the '60s added a second mezzanine at the north and south sides of the arena, although it did block out the entrance windows that provided natural sunlight, which was rectified with additional lighting. Conn Smythe, the Leafs owner, designed it this way to both build it quickly in time for the next hockey season [it broke ground and opened only 6 months apart] and because he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes that led to all the obstructed seating at the old Boston Garden. The only downside was that seating placement in the upper corners was a bit awkward.

This is like a mini archaeological course. We’ve come full circle

a cantilever is a structural element thats fixed at one end, and free at the other end.

Thanks! Now my life has meaning.

I’ll save you 7 mins and 49 seconds: Steel reinforced concrete.

I’ve literally sat near the poles at Fenway before and my cousin got stuck with it

Video idea: Trigger Every single NFL teams highest paid player

This is a question I didn’t realize I wanted the answer to.

FivePoints: Why are there no poles at modern stadiums? FedEx Field: Am I a joke to you?

Is anybody still shook from Kobe's death yesterday? Because I am. RIP to everyone involved in the crash
