@@fabio40 I understand, even if it was originally built primarily as a baseball venue with added functionality for the CFL the renovation will solidify its baseball status. The Argos haven't played there in years but with the other events such as conventions, monster truck/motox & concerts are still held at the venue so one could still argue it is the last functioning MPS. Its undeniable status as an icon of Toronto was cemented by its design and proximity to the CN Tower.

As a Cardinals fan growing up in St. Louis, most of my memories of the old Busch Stadium were after it'd been converted into a baseball only ballpark again in 1996. They took out the astroturf, brought back the natural grass, and took out some upper deck sections to make room for a retired players and champions section. I would've loved to have seen the old Busch Stadium stick around a little longer, but even the conversion was admittedly a "band-aid" solution by the front office as plans were already in early stages for building the new park that opened in 2006. I personally loved the old coliseum type vibe with seats encompassing the entire stadium.

Busch stadium wasn't a bad stadium out of all the cookie cutters and that can be said because the loyal fans who have respect for baseball. A modern mid 2000s renovation would have the stadium around longer. The Ken Griffey Jr 500 Homerun at Busch stadium back in 2004 shows how much the Homerun meant for Griffey along with the person who caught the ball gave it back to Griffey (Griffey in return have him autographed bats, balls, and jerseys).

I'm thinking about the cookie cutter mult-purpose stadium era in the 70's where St Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Washington in earlier days shared the stadium with football teams to save costs. We go into the 90's and find out baseball only and football only are more suitable. Anaheim Angels converted back to a baseball only stadium where it improved in their fan experience after the Rams left. Imagine after the Raiders left to Las Vegas, a football and baseball team sharing the same stadium.

One cookie cutter stadium that you left out which was the mother of all cookie-cutter stadiums is the late DC stadium, a.k.a. Robert F Kennedy stadium, which should be demolished within the next 12 months. It was built for the Washington Senators, and the Washington Redskins, and of all the cookie-cutter stadiums I’ve been to I think it probably had the best unobstructed seating For its time. 45,000 for baseball, 58,000 for football. It took from the time Senators left for the Dallas area in 1971 until 2005 with the arrival of the Nationals for the baseball configuration to return

In Mexico they are trying to build a multi purpose stadium for football, the international kind, and baseball. It's not a huge stadium but around 35K with stands that move around to change the configuration. I believe the stadium is being called "Estadio Sostenible de Yucatan". The multi purpose stadium format isn't completely dead.

I was always intrigued by multipurpose stadiums, because I grew up in the era where It seemed like half of the NFL teams and half of Major league. Baseball teams played in stadiums that they shared with each other. One that particularly fascinated me was Anaheim stadium that was baseball only, but they added seats for football. They gave it an odd configurations for both sports. My least favorite was actually the Metrodome, because in my opinion, it looks like they took a football stadium and knocked out some seats for baseball, making baseball seem like an afterthought. At the cookie-cutter stadiums at least they were able to maneuver the seating to suit, both teams, even if it was awkward for both. Just my opinion. Having said that, I think every team that moved from a dual purpose stadiums to a single use stadium, got an upgrade.

So on Joe Robbie/Pro Player/Sun Life Stadium: for the left field seating, they didn't sell tickets to that first tiny section with orange seats because... there's no guard rails to prevent people from falling. That's the line where they had to fold the seating up for baseball. The stadium wasn't a true multi-purpose venue, it was designed for football only that could be retrofitted to support baseball, so you did get certain quirks like that. If you were to sit in the first row, your feet would dangle above the Teal Tower scoreboard.

Hockey rinks are over twice as long as basketball courts, so I do wonder why we still have multi-purpose arenas. A seat behind the basket is terrible and on the whole worse than sitting in the nosebleeds for a basketball game played at a hockey arena. On the flipside, fans at Islanders games when they played in Brooklyn couldn't see much of the rink because the Barclays Center sightlines were designed for a smaller basketball court than a hockey rink.
@joetriolo9161
@joetriolo9161 Жыл бұрын
I have never been to Barclays, but I have heard the sightlines for hockey were awful. Apparently when the building was being designed it was originally going to be a basketball/hockey arena but, due to cost concerns, they ditched those plans and went with BB only...now the Isles have their own barn right next to Belmont Park and the Cross Island Parkway, the new "Mausoleum" (thank you Steve Somers) so this issue has been solved.

RFK was a great old stadium! Built for baseball and football in 1962 and was shared by the Redskins and Senators until the Fall of 1971 when the Senators plays there last game there before moving to Texas in 72. Then it was primarily used by the Redskins other then the original old timers baseball game or congressional baseball game. Then DC United started play in the mid 90’s and the stadium was again shared between the Redskins and DC United. Then the Redskins moved to a new stadium in 1997 and RFK was soccer only until 2005 when MLB Returned to DC. They spend a ton of money renovating the stadium to make it a functional multi use stadium again for baseball after 34 years. Then the Nats moved into Nats a park in 2009 and DC a United into Audi Field leaving RFK VACANT. Now it’s Heidi g taken apart.

They were these huge Steel structures Mile high stadium attendance was 80k opening day of the Rockies first game ever in 93' Those "GRAND STANDS" in left field operated using water that was pumped into water bearings spread under the stands...

I wonder if they could reconvert Turner Field back into a track and field stadium?

The football team is the 49ers, not the Giants. The Giants are the baseball team.

I find Tuner Field interesting they did the same thing as the Expos did but did it correctly where the stadium would be partially built for baseball but with a lot of temp seats for the Olympics then the temp seats, track ,etc were pulled out and it was completed as a baseball stadium, Montreal Olympic stadium was designed was backwards to was designed to be a full time track and field stadium first that the Expos played out of, back then nobody thought of designing it for baseball first like Tuner Field, the Braves wanted major renovations which was super expensive and the majority of fans aren't close to the stadium, also that area is straight up hood and the public transit wasn't close so people had to walk through the ghetto to get there, good thing is they didn't tear it down and repurposed it some what, the Texas Rangers and the tax players in Texas are stupid they got 2 baseball stadiums and a football stadium beside each other

The reason the Braves moved was bc season ticket holders (who live north of 285) could not and would not venture downtwon.

The stadium in San Francisco got its name because it was located at Candlestick Point.

While I like your videos, the amount you are making and how fast you are will only quickly kill your channel in the KZbin algorithm. Also it makes it so viewers have too much content to view which might sound good but it’s not

They asked for a certain amounts renovations in Turner Field and Atlanta or Fulton Can unity refused so they got the city counsel in Marietta to pass legislation to fund the new stadium, plus most of the Braves fans lived North of Atlanta. The people got passed and everyone on the council was now dead re-elected. This what needs the happen vote out those who want the raise taxes for Billionaires

What about The Old Yankee Stadium. Hosted The New York Football Giants and Boxing. Also, you mention the Olympcs but don't give a shout out to Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Come on man. Just kidding. Love the videos. Keep up the great work.

Rogers centre is just as multi purpose as any of the others were. Your lack of research shows at times when you try and push out a bunch of videos.
