[@jeremiahpadilla2822]

Another reason they can't tear it down Is because it has alot of asbestos in it which was a meterial that was thought to be fireproof but can cause alot of health problems alot of places back then had it but now it's like outdated and has been for 40 years

[@toddcunningham3213]

@@peacehopelovecharity I will believe it when I see cranes in the air. I'm guessing that it will be the same as the last two times they were going to do it. ('96, '09) They will do just a tiny upgrade to Memorial Stadium, spend all of the money on Allen Fieldhouse, and fire their coach. They've already started working on Allen. Everyone else in the Big12 has completed major renovations, expansions, and upgrades 2 or 3 times (some more) since KU's last major renovation, even the 4 incoming schools. They've added some bells and whistles over the years, but it's pretty much the same dump that they have been playing in since 1965.

Here in Minnesota we’ve had two stadiums that arguably could have made it onto your list; Metropolitan Stadium, or, just plain Met Stadium, and the oft-maligned, nationally lampooned, Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Both stadiums hosted the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams had some pretty good years at the Met but couldn’t bring home any championships. In 1981, both teams moved to the “Dome” in downtown Minneapolis where the Twins won the World Series twice, in 1987 and 1991. The dome was just plain utilitarian ugly but it did create a definite home field advantage which gave the Twins an edge.

[@marksweat7167]

I find the two most embarrassing stadiums to be SoFi and Allegiant. Most games the visiting crowd cheers overpower the home teams fans. Home offense sometimes have to use silent snap counts. Imagine being a long time Bay Area based Raiders fan and paying travel costs (and being charged premium rates on game weekends), seat licenses, higher ticket prices, higher concession prices and the hassle/time of travel to attend a Raider game. Then when you get there and the ambience is terrible because the stadium isn't filled with like minded fans. Both stadiums are physical beautiful and engineering/construction marvels but the important thing is game day spirit and these stadium experiences are an embarrassment.

The Redskins used to have a waiting list for season tickets… not anymore. Rice Stadium hosted a Super Bowl.

[@luisvaldes1568]

Thank you, I was screaming the same thing. Super Bowl 8.

[@gpturner0924]

Fun fact: Northwest Field (formerly FedEx Field in Landover, MD was originally designed to be a dome. It was supposed to be an indoor seating bowl with outdoor concourses and service areas. This is why the upper bowl was enclosed. Unfortunately, at the time it was built, the structure was the largest one in the NFL and it was several years before construction methods and technology could accommodate such a large roof. They kept the upper bowl enclosed as long as they could to keep the possibility of adding a roof in the future. This was a failed attempt by ownership at the time to make the stadium eligible for the Super Bowl. In recent years, upper deck seats have been removed, not because of a lack of selling tickets (you would usually use tarps to cover seats for this reason, like at the Trop in St. Petersburg, FL, or on the Mount Davis structure at Oakland Colisseum). Northwest Field’s upper bowl has been losing seats year over year because the building has structural damage from a lack of maintenance and care from ownership. The seats I used to sit in growing up (2 different sets of season tickets over the years) do not exist anymore (except probably in some hoarder’s garage). What you call camo seats in the club level are actually an optional upgrade. The owners of the seats in club level have the option of having cushions added for an additional cost. That’s why they are sporadically placed and only LOOK like camo. Throughout the history of the stadium, different seats had cushions at different times, so the club level never looked the same year to year. Unfortunately, the Commanders have to endure at least 3 years, as the lease isn’t up until 2027. My hope is that they do not renew their lease, take a capacity downgrade to play at Audi Field for several years after the lease at Northwest is up, until they can build a new stadium on the old RFK site, as RFK is finally scheduled for demolition.

[@keithbroyles4649]

Harris County, not the City of Houston actually owns the Astrodome. Former County Judge (the person closest to being the head of government for the county) Ed Emmett did not want the Astrodome torn down. He kept enough roadblocks in place to delay and delay and delay. Eventually someone or some organization filed the necessary paperwork to make it it the historical landmark as several of your commenters have actually said. The biggest problem now is, there is little, if any money to do any kind of renovation. So, until someone figures out how to pay for it, there will be no work on it and because of it's landmark status, it won't be coming down unless something changes or Mother Nature brings it down..

Rice Stadium hosted a Super Bowl and that's the only other notable thing about it. also the upper deck is basically structurally deficient and can't hold big events there anymore. The Astrodome is on the list of historic landmarks and can't be torn down. Tho they are talking about turning the inside into like an events center or heritage park or something. I think that's actually something they should do with the old field at Oakland when they eventually take a wrecking ball to the Coliseum. Maybe put up some low income housing bc California, especially the Bay Area, is ridiculously expensive and affordable housing is needed in so many parts of the state. Also that remark about the "92 year old woman", I have a 96 year old great grandmother and....yeah. So I resent that comment on the grounds that my great granny resembles that remark! xD

Nah on the Oakland Arena being embarrassing. The Coliseum stadium, sure. But the arena is internally around the same age as the Staples Center, United Center, the 76ers arena, the Suns arena and several other currently in use NBA/NHL arenas. It was completely gutted in 1997, and the exterior is literally the only thing that is original. It is not old, and the Warriors did not really NEED a new arena. They THOUGHT they were getting more money by building the Chase Center, but with the great tech exodus happening in San Francisco the joke has ended up being on them. 😂 But the Oakland Arena is definitely not embarrassing and is actually one of the trend setters in regards to building basketball specific arenas (which is now increasingly becoming a thing.

I don't see any problem with the college stadiums you mentioned on this video, at least from a practical standpoint. Sure, they are ugly and have too much seating relative to the size of crowd their respective teams generally draw. My problem is when taxpayers are forced to pay for stadiums they don't want/need, particularly for pro teams. Generally, it seems like the motivation for building these stadiums is to bring in tourist revenue from fans. Often though, the stadiums, their renovations, and upkeep cost far more than any profits gained by the businesses in the city/area where the stadiums are located. Mostly, we are just subsidizing billionaire owners, who have no need for the money. It would be better if teams were owned by the fans (and maybe the players too) so those who are interested in the teams that play there could make decisions about the direction to take the team(s) in, including if more money should be spent on a new stadium or stadium renovations. If fans owned the teams, I would think that might make it more painful for teams to move also.

New Mexico is a low level div. 1 team with a low level div. 1 team stadium, you randomly pick any other college teams stadium and it would be about the same. Rice stadium for one hoasted the Superbowl and their football program at one time was much bigger then it is now so that is why stadium is as big as it is. As for the Astrodome it hasn't been used as a stadium for long time and really shouldn't count. Oh I almost forgot FedEx field, is not great but it's not horrible, 90% of what makes it bad for fans is it's location, the actual stadium is almost average.
