11 NFL Stadiums that I wish actually got built

[@TheSSUltimateGoku]

6:05 Dude as somebody who lives in Western New York I can tell you right now they didn’t postpone the games because of weather they postponed the game because nobody could drive their cars to the stadium it was life-threatening storms. A retractable roof would not prevent the games being postponed because literally nobody would be able to get to the games, fans, players, referees, etc. Please do your research before making statements like this.

[@nortonhatfield7312]

They could play at Syracuse stadium should the weather be terrible for playing football in Buffalo. Besides, the Syracuse stadium is a dome stadium.

[@TheSSUltimateGoku]

@@nortonhatfield7312 Again what part of the weather being snow we had no part in the games being postponed dome, portable roof or outdoors it wouldn’t of mattered. The game would’ve been postponed. Also, Syracuse doesn’t have a big enough stadium for football standards. It’s the Buffalo Bills not the Syracuse Bills. They have no issues playing in a snow storm. The issue was it was a life-threatening snowstorm blizzard that was preventing anybody from getting to the game let alone playing it. Sure if anybody was able to travel to the game and it was snowy storm conditions they would’ve played the game no problem, but it wasn’t that nobody could get to the game.

That St. Louis concept was underrated. I always figured that Shad Khan would eventually relocate the Jags given his ties.

[@deepvoicedude4749]

I live in STL and I can tell you that the Jaguars ship has sailed. At this point, STL won't accept any team that isn't an expansion and it will probably be another decade before people here even want one. And STL isn't a big enough market for the NFL to really push for one.

[@dvferyance]

Kroenke should have been honest and just tell the people of St Louis he was leaving period and there was nothing they could do about it.

[@dvferyance]

@@deepvoicedude4749 It's the 4th largest metro in the Midwest. It's larger than Kansas City, Indianapolis, Cincinati and Cleveland all who do have NFL teams. Green Bay has one too but that is an unusual circumstance so I won't make a comparison there.

[@deepvoicedude4749]

I've lived here my whole life and have ancestors who have lived here since the 1800s. I know this market. That really doesn't matter anymore since the rest of the country exists, not to mention the world. Hell, going purely by population Chicago, Houston, and Dallas should have two teams but they don't for a reason.@@dvferyance

[@Itshadow306]

I believe that the Jacksonville stadium rebuild won’t happen meaning that the Jaguars will relocate. The place I have relocating to is San Antonio and rebrand as the San Antonio Jaguars. I believe St. Louis will get not only an NFL Team but an NBA Team as well both the Pelicans and Saints move up the Mississippi River to St. Louis.

[@BigJay-02]

I actually like the St Louis design for the Rams but I’m still happy they moved to LA and built Sofi

[@arthurpasseri4590]

Heres is #12...The Hartford Patriots stadium. That was on the Connecticut River with docks and The Onrust replica on the river.

[@nortonhatfield7312]

The Minnesota vikings almost moved to Los Angeles in 2012.

[@tpresto9862]

The old University of Pittsburgh on-campus stadium (which no longer exists) had about half of the perimeter top row of seating at ground level (and even below). There were some entry gates at the very top of the stadium the would require you to walk down the bleachers to your seat. It has a sloping site, so the other half had a traditional facade and traditional closer-to-field-level entrances.

[@trvaron]

#11 looks AWESOME!!! As a resident in the LA area I would have LOVED to have gotten this stadium!

[@FranBushardt]

The Current Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park was built half Underground But the crazy Winds they have found out were crazy and will not be repeated in the New Stadium!!

[@grantandersen]

The Giants could most likely go to the Weschester County in Yonkers northeast of Empire City Casino there is a perfect plot of land with several train stations and bus stations from and to the city, it’s also just of I-87. This makes most sense as the Mara family are from Weschester County. The Jets would most likely have to go to Nassau County out by the Nassau Coliseum. Long Island is obvious Jets territory. I don’t think an NFL Stadium will ever be in NYC(proper). There is just no room for parking and tailgating . Traffic would be horrible.

[@evanschoenfeld5405]

Would love to see an exterior like that in the nfl for last one

[@MsRotorwings]

I do wish they kept the 49ers in SF and built the stadium in the same area as Candlestick. Better weather for games in August through October.

[@shaunnichols1743]

No way that was going to be feasible in the modern era. Not enough room and buying out the surrounding land would have been way too expensive.

[@scotttild]

They had plenty of room without the mall attached. The sit is bigger then it looks. They could have easily built something new. The only reason they didn’t is the City was making unreadable demands during the process and they got into a pissing match.

[@MsRotorwings]

@@scotttild We didn’t need another mall. It eventually would be over run with shoplifters. Shame on the City for my doing what they should’ve to keep them here.

Can you make a “way to early college football ranks” and nfl rankings?

[@lonniestephens6254]

Just imagine if those nfl venues were actually built.

[@ericrizojkd]

I wished Farmers Field, National Car Rental Field, San Diego, and Oakland Stadium got built

Better weather for games from August through October. Would love to see an exterior like that in the NFL for the last one Not if it's when it would take place but logically speaking the Jets would build it at Sunnyside Yards in Long Island City along with Google, etc for the $20 billion mega project complete with offices retail and low and moderate-income housing that's idealistic or if possible Downtown Brooklyn would work Just imagine if those NFL venues were actually built. I think the Jets will build their own stadium in Queens near Citi Field if they make a few good runs with Rodgers. Also, Bills games get postponed because of safety concerns getting to and from the stadium. A dome wouldn't make a difference. Please don't push that narrative bc you know people are going to wrongly say that the first time a game is postponed in the new stadium. get that game off of cable, and put it back on network TV, what was longer the pregame or the game That farmer's stadium looks better than Sofi in my opinion Your favorite would create a lot of shadows on the field. Not good. That's not an "Aztec" design. It's Roman era and the design is probably based on The Coliseum. Ya know, Roman architecture. I just remember why I strongly dislike James Dolan. His smear campaign to save the garden was insane. Luckily we got the edge and vessel. That St. Louis concept was underrated is done here!

[@selfdo]

The trouble with a "Candlestick II" is that it wouldn't have been as simple as building the new stadium in the parking lot of the old one, and never mind where fans would park during construction. The biggest problem would have been SEISMIC, that is, the Candlestick lot was built on LANDFILL, which was shown during the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake to be unstable during a 6.0 or greater quake. The old park was built where it was, somewhat but not entirely into that hillside, as that land was natural; the builder's soil tests showed that the the soil was rigid enough that the stadium wouldn't lose its foundation during a quake. At least as ORIGINALLY built, the part added in 1971 to accommodate football had been filled in, but fortunately, just opened up a section of the upper deck facing mid-field about 18 inches during the quake. The 49ers would have had to have a temporary home for at least two seasons while the old Candlestick was demolished and a new stadium erected in its place. Maybe a deal could have been struck with the Raiders and the Oakland Coliseum Authority, or Stanford.

[@cypher515]

Not the only one to say this but if a field in Orchard Park had a dome, it wouldn't do anything to keep the game in town. Take a look at a travel website for hotels and tell me where the closest hotel is to the field, to say nothing of how I'm _fairly_ sure most of the players and staff aren't in easy walking distance of the stadium. If nobody makes it to the field, it does not matter if there's no snow _on_ the field. And after 2020 I'm not even saying it's the fans, they have the crowd-noise tape from that season if they need it. But you need two teams, one set of officials, and at least one camera operator to make it to the building before you can play a game.

[@Dlitte879]

Washington needs a new stadium with some design elements of RFK

[@scotttild]

Wish the Jets had done Hudson Yards instead of what they have there now, just a bunch of condos and office buildings.

[@jeffreyreyes6800]

Thank god for sofi stadium it was meant to be

[@donavannj]

It looks more like it's primarily in the architecture style of the Spanish missions that were all over the American Southwest in my opinion.

[@gooseegg3439]

I've been thinking for a while that they should use the former site of Shea stadium to build a stadium for the Jets and build a sports & entertainment district in the surrounding parking lot/area to complement all three stadiums (NYFC is building their new stadium on the opposite side of CITI Field). Then build a parking tower or underground parking to make up for the lost parking spaces.

[@91_C4_FL]

@@gooseegg3439 It's honestly a perfect spot. Everything you said, plus it's on a public transit line and in close proximity to a major airport for Super Bowls.

[@Gage_Brumley]

Rodgers has like 1 season left in him if he doesn't immediately get injured again.

[@rickbrenner6079]

@@Gage_Brumley Oh, how tough it would be if AROD goes down with another season-ending injury within the first three weeks of the ‘24 season. It’s unlikely, given AROD’s good track record of staying mostly healthy throughout his career. On the other hand, he’s now on the “wrong side of 40” and is more susceptible to injury. The Jets better invest in a decent backup, because the team can’t afford a repeat of 2023, with a Top 10 defense wasted on a team that can’t score points to save its life. I think that would be the last straw for Jets’ fans.

[@1999bill1999]

A player will not dictate on whether a team builds a stadium

I hate the Raiders but they should have built that stadium total missed opportunity
