6 Most Embarrassing Stadiums in America

[@toddcunningham3213]

The Astrodome is a historical landmark and can't be torn down. Plus, how is Memorial Stadium at the University of Kansas not on this list?

[@toddcunningham3213]

@@peacelovehopecharity 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.

I’ve lived in Texas for 8 years and given the rodeo and growth of the city, I’m not sure how this thing ain’t turned into something useful. Nor do I really understand why it’s a landmark…coming from NY where old Yankee Stadium was demolished and turned into an amazing inner city baseball park.

[@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was thought to be fireproof but can cause alot of health problems alot of places back then had it but now it's like outdated and has been for 40 years

[@gregorykrug8034]

In England, they often take old stadiums and improve them. In America, they just knock them down twenty years after they were built. The most embarrassing stadium in the US imo is Soldier Field. They took a classic stadium, and spent hundreds of millions of dollars to ruin it.

Rice Stadium hosted Super Bowl VIII in January 1974. So, it did host something other than JFK's Moon speech.

[@VincentPaterno-hs2fv]

And I believe it opened in 1950, when the Southwest Conference was at its peak and Houston - indeed, all of Texas - had no major-league professional sports. In that era, Rice fielded competitive teams despite its small enrollment.

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.

Why do stadiums on a college campus have a longer life expectancy than those of professional sports teams? Tax the residents of a community from now to eternity to build a new stadium or arena, and when the owner of the team doesn't get the approval for a stadium upgrade, he/she holds the jurisdiction hostage by threating to move the franchise to a different city.

[@fidellytle5838]

It cost money to build or renovate these stadiums. Usually about $1.5 Billion to $2.25 Billion Dollars. Sometimes north of $3.0 Billion Dollars. To pay for it Taxes or Ticket Prices must be increased. Sometimes to the point that people move or can not afford to go to the events. Even to tear down these stadiums most millions of Dollars. In comes down to one point. Who is going to pay for it!

RIce Stadium was built before there were any pro sports in Houston and Rice football games were big-time events. Believe it or not, it actually hosted a Super Bowl back in the early 1970s!

[@redpagansports]

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

[@LeimertDreamer]

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. See: Intuit Dome).

As a Brit, I don't think Oakland Arena looks that bad as far as I can tell. Our arenas here are about as good as your Elementary School's Sports Halls. The stadium however, Mount Davis is just way too big. USA tore down it's historic stadiums and ruined Soldier Field. The worst thing about US stadiums is the obscene amount of concrete surrounding them. You don't need 5000 acres of parking around every stadium.

[@johnmcnulty2705]

Pretty lazy list if you ask me. The Oakland complex is old and out dated sure, but the Coliseum is only on this list because the A's are doing so bad and have been in the news because their probably moving to Vegas, plus it's not even the worst stadium in the MLB that by far is Tampa. 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.

And maybe I would call the Whataburger center or Whataburger Arena or another Big time company that is associated with the Houston area.
