It's too bad that after the Raiders moved to Vegas they couldn't have completely gutted all the outfield seating higher than the main outfield seats that were always right above the walls in the outfield in the 1970s, 1980s and the first half of the 1990s, the same as they did in Anaheim right after the Rams went to St. Louis in 1995.

I'm old enough to remember going to games at Connie Mack Stadium/Shibe Park. I saw Willi Mays hit a home run in batting practice over the left field bleachers. But I can also assure you that it had deteriorated terribly by the time the Phillies left it. I remember the whole thing smelling like a big men's room that hadn't been cleaned for a while. There was no parking. You had to find a street spot and either bribe a kid to watch it or just cross your fingers. Everything in it was original construction. It's a candidate for nostalgia today, but back then nobody missed it.

@@JohnSmith-zw8vp The location just wasn't right for a ballpark. It was in a halfway-decent position for public transport, but in the late 60's that wasn't enough anymore. The stadium complex they created at the southern edge of the city is actually the perfect location from a regional planning standpoint. It's also at a decent public transport location, at the southern terminus of the same subway line as Connie Mack, near the confluence of both major highways in the city, and near a major bridge to NJ. And there's a lot of parking, which both the Phillies and Eagles old facilities lacked.

Tiger Stadium may have been built in 1912, but it's immediate predecessor existed on the same site. This is why Tigers fans talk about "the corner of Michigan and Trumbull" because that was the oldest continuous site of professional baseball going all the way back to the 1890's. Unfortunately, the national sports media ignored this.

Thanks for showing Tiger Stadium! Was so sad how they let the park decay a decade, I bought two seats from there, they were shipped to my house and caked into dust, I had to hose, wash them off before moving them inside. Now the old Tiger Stadium is a multi purpose facility that hosts high school, college and kids baseball, football, soccer events. The exact field remains there, including the dimensions, original flag pole on center field, they have field turf because there is so many events there that grass would be hard maintain. There are a section of seats along the third base line, e line, the funding wasn’t there in time so rest of the stadium was razed in April 2009, demolition of rest of the park began in June 2008, stopped that September leaving the first to third base grand stands before being razed in April 2009 after not securing enough funds. I’m just glad a Walmart or something wasn’t built there, at least kids can play on same field icons like Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, Al Kaline, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays all played on.

I went to school in Baltimore and I lived in the area for 9 years (1970-78). The Baltimore fans really liked Memorial Stadium. It was in a somewhat nice section of the city, not near downtown. People would park their cars all over on the local streets or take the bus. My most extraordinary experience at seeing the Orioles play was in the spring of 1971. The Orioles were playing the A's in an afternoon double header during the week. It was a "getaway day" on a Thursday. I think they had to play two games because they had to make up a game and the A's wouldn't be back east for the rest of the season. The first game started early, before noon. A friend at school asked me to go with him to the stadium, which was within easy walking distance. So we went. The pitchers that day were Mike Cueller vs Vida Blue, and Jim Palmer vs Blue Moon Odom. Amazing. But then years later came the dark night in which the beloved Colts left town in moving vans. Nobody saw it coming, and it devastated the town. After I left the area, the city built Camden Yards downtown. But you know, I liked Memorial Stadium because it was located in a residential area, and it seemed so homey and local. People would just walk over there, pay a few dollars, grab a seat, eat a hotdog, and watch the Orioles play. Pretty darn cool.

East O'ahu resident here. Aloha Stadium did actually host a regular, 3 game MLB series in April 1997 between St. Louis and San Diego, dubbed the Paradise Series. I remember watching several Hawaii Islanders minor league baseball games in the late 70's into the mid 80's at Aloha. It was often an odd experience, with maybe 1500 or so in attendance at the games. spread out among the 50,000 seats. The stadium usually looked mostly empty during the games I attended.

I'm from Detroit, and being a baseball fan, Tiger Stadium holds a lot of memories to me. When I was a kid back in the mid sixties, my dad took me and my brothers to see a Tigers-Senators game. It was a doubleheader, as were a regular part of the schedule back then. At that time, I believe that the great Ted Williams was managing the Senators, and I had no idea of it. My parents used to call it Briggs Stadium ( because of the family that owned it up until then.). Briggs Stadium actually used to host Negro League baseball games, and in some instances, the Detrout Stars ( the local Negro League team) would out draw the Tigers, even when the Tigers played the Yankees. I used to love watching Tigers games on TV, especially from the 1970s through the 90-s, when it was hosted by George Kell and Al Kaline( two former Tigers- and both of them, Hall of Famers).

I remember Ted Williams as manager of the Senators. It seemed just about every third 10 cent pack of Topps baseball cards I would buy in '70 had his card in it. I think Williams also went on to manage the Rangers first season in Arlington, TX in '72, after they relocated there from Washington. I had a chance to attend a Royals-Tigers game in '72..my family was visiting Greenfield Village and my parents gave me the option to go to that game while the rest of the family enjoyed GV. I didn't think any tickets to the game were available, ( '72 Tigers were a good team) so I stayed with my family at GV. That was only time I ever had the chance to visit Tiger Stadium in my life, and I've regretted ever since not trying to get a ticket to that game!

It's sad what RFK has become. It was never a palace by any means, but the character was so strong back in the 70's 80's and 90's when Washington was still good in the NFL. If they're bulldozing that place, then they should build a new nice stadium there so the "Commanders" can move out of that pit in Landover, MD and get back to playing football in the District again. Complicating things is that the Landover stadium is owned by the Football Team, the mess that is the D.C. government is tasked with running RFK, and the land where RFK is.. belongs to the National Park Service. So you'd need 3 or 4 major entities to be on the same page. Also, fun fact about Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.. they hosted a CFL team for a few years, and even won the Grey Cup.. it was also the only stadium in the U.S. at the time, that could easily fit the wider/longer CFL field dimensions.

2:57 Metropolitan Stadium for football had both teams on the same sideline. Very unusual.

good video, but hearing you call Shibe Park Shribe was a little odd.

Why don’t they build another stadium like Schribe Park? Surely they could make a state of the art modern stadium with that old architecture exterior. Imagine that on a new stadium it’d be a wonder of the world

I know the Silverdome is gone. When I was making automotive deliveries in the area, the Silverdome was gone but its entre lot was all fenced in. I've been to at least ten games there and a Led Zeppelin concert and I thought the sight lines for football were good!

RFK wasn't really a cookie cutter...it pretty much only had the Redskins....The Senators played at Griffith Stadium. And I've been to Comerica and it's FAR from a downgrade...Tigers fans love the place. So I don't know who you talked to.. Hawaii is playing on campus....not really a "dump"...and a new Aloha Stadium is currently being built.

Although US Bank stadium is a beautiful facility, being that it's still got a roof, I predict that the Vikings will NEVER win a Super Bowl, not until either they fixed the roof OPEN, or return to an exclusively OUTDOOR venue, and become the "Norsemen" once again!
