[@TheBucksFan]

​@@westsparks6844that's bait bro, such a terrible idea lmfao 😂

Every league in North America has the one venue from days of old that'll never die. For MLB, it's Wrigley (NL) and Fenway (AL). NHL and NBA have Madison Square Garden. The NFL has Lambeau.

[@luke-i1w]

Arrowhead should begin to fall into the category of Lambeau. It is iconic. It's very design funnels noise to the field (which is against the rules with new designs). If the Chiefs move, that whole "loudest stadium in the NFL" thing goes away. Look up the video of John Elway whining because it's too loud in Arrowhead. That is a legit piece of homefield advantage being taken away if they tear down Arrowhead. The Hunts would be stupid to do that. Plus, they have more money than ever now and they should fund the renovations themselves.

[@Snidde22]

Arrowhead is fine. Spruce it up a bit and call it a day. It's got fairly pretty lines and is easily accessible to most of the city with ample, if expensive, parking(in a city that is very car-centric). That being said, they'll still overcomplicate it and overspend, crippling public coffers further. Oh well.

[@frenchfrey65]

You darn right Lambeau will never be replaced, it's the Fenway/Wrigley/MSG/Churchill Downs of the NFL! Every league needs at least 1 venue that's old but charming/legendary. Lambeau is that! We take great pride in taking care of it, and are hosting the 2025 NFL draft with it! Ftr, Lambeau Field technically isn't the oldest stadium currently in use in the NFL (Soldier Field is), it's the oldest CONTINUOUSLY used stadium since Soldier field and War Memorial in Buffalo wouldn't host their NFL teams for a few more years, the Bills played in War Memorial in 1960, while the Bears finally played at Soldier Field in 1971. No other NFL team has stayed in their home longer than us!

[@jac_238]

Shoutout to Chase Center in San Francisco for being built entirely without public money

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

​@@jac_238It's because SF passed a law. If a stadium gets built or renovated with taxpayers $$ the stadium can't have a corporate name. So that's why SF stadiums are privately founded. I also think they get property tax breaks too if they don't take the people's money.

[@JKSSubstandard]

There are other reasons. A big reason for the Highmark replacement is some structural deficiencies in the upper deck. Engineers working for the state, not the team, estimated that the stadium would need to be replaced or rebuilt in the 2030s due to deterioration of the rebar in the concrete due to freeze thaw and vibration. That's a big reason for the stadium issue in Buffalo finally getting traction with politicians after 20 years of the team asking. Sure, they could rebuild the existing building. But the argument more or less came down to do we pay 1.5 to rebuild what we have, or pay 1.8 for a building with nicer amenities.... Or 3 for a dome.

[@mattbriddell9246]

Seriously, these teams could afford to build 2-3 stadiums EACH and pay for every penny out of their own pockets and still be in the black.

[@sunkings5972]

Yea but what do u want the federal govt to mandate no city can provide incentives? In America that eoukd be called communism and i doubt the supreme court would even allow that. An NFL team does bring in tax revenue and most NFL owners could put their investment in the NFL into an index fund and make more money off of it. Not saying I care about the owners at all, i dont. I do care about what an nfl team means to a city. Govt could also force nfl teams to allow the cities to buy the team then they get all the profit if the owners refuse to pay to build stadiums but again, even a liberal court would be 50/50 on allowing that law to stand given the implications. Like I could see this the supreme court allowing the govt to take over sports but it would be over some made up transgender scare, def not doing it in a way that benefits the people of a city over a billionaire owner. So prolly better cities just negotiate for the best deal possible to get the team and not be afraid to let the team leave cuz in most cases they will get another team at a decent deal since there is a market.

[@Sangria]

Heinz Field (I’ll never call it that new name, screw that) has always been perfect for the Steelers. The only thing they did wrong was close up the open end, that was a significant home field advantage. But it has great sight lines, not even the nosebleed seats are bad, the open steel framework is very Pittsburgh, and the grass field itself is something the players love. It doesn’t need to be replaced. It’s not like Pittsburgh will ever host a Super Bowl. Replacing Three Rivers had to happen. Replacing Heinz Field does not.

[@madringking1119]

That's the NFL ownership's first play, hold a city hostage, threat to leave, unless the city passes a tax bill to help pay for a stadium. Of course each stadium is different, some are owned by the team owner, some owned by the city or county, so it can get complicated. But ultimately, it's BS to tax (which means you just take the money) versus lets say an investment. I would be more prone to give money to a local stadium rebuild if I knew I was going to get a return on my investment. But they'd rather just take the money and use it and reap the benefits themselves.

You’ll notice the Tampa Bay Rays are building a new ballpark right next to their old one in a location no one except St. Petersburg people seem to like. Why? Hillsborough County/Tampa wasn’t in the mood to put up the public funding St. Pete and Pinellas County are willing to. Hopefully, their development supplies fans, because they’re on the hook!

[@JKSSubstandard]

As an architect, if there were that kind of money to be had in these public projects, I'd be living a lot better than a 1br apartment... For a lot of these, it's lack of maintainence or desire for new amenities or technological advancement. Being a bills fan, I'll use Highmark as a good example. The stadium was built in 73 and wasn't made for the large electronics of today. It wasn't until the last renovation that it was able to even support the ribbon video boards and modern broadcast infrastructure in a meaningful way. A big reason the Bills didn't have prime time games for 20 years, aside from the drought and bad teams, was that there wasn't a way to hook up the sky cam in the stadium that all the prime time games used. Now, a big reason for the replacement is that the exposed concrete structure of the upper deck is suffering damage from exposure and vibration. And it became a question of, do we keep slapping billion dollar bandaids on the building every 10 years, or spend 2 billion and have a building you don't have to touch for 30 years outside technology and finishes. As for a building like FedEx. It was built by the lowest bidder, it was built with exposed structure. And it's ownership put absolutely 0 effort into upkeep so it's falling apart. Compared to Baltimore which took care of their building of the same era. And I can say, aside from some faded plastic on the seats, that building still looks pretty good

So by the time that superbowl rolls around there will probably be work to have it designated as a landmark. If they don't get the ball rolling by then, I will.

Ugliest stadium of all.

[@St.nickblack]

Superdome will always be da Superdome

[@jasonmilly3320]

Hope you're right. Only dome in use, in football, that I like

[@Sportsteen2.0-v2f]

Ever heard of FedEx Feld and the Oakland Colosseum?

[@ZhangtheGreat]

The real question is: are any of these stadiums as old as FivePoints himself? 😁

[@ryanm1732]

The Superdome

[@darylb5564]

I go from stadium for work. Of the stadiums I’ve been to the only one I felt needed to be replaced was KC. It looks like a great place to watch a game but underneath it was designed poorly. I don’t see how it can be fixed. The best option is probably to replace. Here’s the thing… if they are going to replace it with a stadium designed by someone that has no idea what they are doing they should probably just save the money and keep playing in the stadium they have. For any city looking to replace a stadium my advice would be don’t make it harder than it needs to be. Just call the builder and tell them to build you Cowboys Stadium. Of all of the stadiums I’ve been to it’s the best by a bunch.

Kansas City resident here, the vote for funding that was rejected was almost exclusively the Royals fault. The proposal read like the kid who writes their paper at 11pm the night before, and isn't good at it either. The length of the tax extension was something stupid like 40 years, and if this video is any indication on how long pro sports stadiums will last it would probably be longer than the stadium would last. If the Chiefs were asking for the tax money and not tied to the Royals I would have bet money that it would have passed. This was very much a case of a group project that failed because one kid didn't do their part. One point of clarification. The tax extension was for the Royals to get a new stadium and the Chiefs would renovate with their money. Also under state law if a tax measure fails they have to wait 1 year to put it on the ballot again. They actually tried to get around this, but it will probably be on the ballot again in April.

[@PHXNKVHXLIC]

Your moms house is overdue for a replacement

[@PHXNKVHXLIC]

Thank you for liking the comment, I wish you well Five

[@stormageddon248]

How in the world is the NFL allowing the commanders to continue playing another down in that building? I would be furious if I was a fan. Y’all deserve better.

[@Viva_la_Snowman]

I’m one of the few Panthers fans that thinks BOA is perfectly fine. And with how bad we are, we don’t deserve nice things anyway

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

I'd argue Gillette Stadium probably needs to be added to this list.

[@e31174]

Nah, it gets renovated pretty often and has a massive entertainment pavilion. Plus it’s 100% owned by the Kraft family so there is no risk of them losing it.

[@michaeloptv]

Brand new renovation. Kraft didn’t pour money into it for nothing.

[@michaeloptv]

You can’t have a new stadium open in Chicago if they haven’t settled on a location yet 😨🤔😬 Didn’t know about Jacksonville…but not surprised.

[@Heatrecks]

Ngl, kinda wish the opposite happened with the Miami Orange Bowl

[@andrewpadaetz5549]

Indeed. Marlins and Dolphins/Canes need to switch locations.

[@bcranford714]

Yeah I’m not a fan of loan depot stadium

[@PTrep2727]

I lost my mom 15 years ago yet your jokes about moms are awesome. Keep it up. 👍👍

[@robertsteeno6106]

Billionaires should pay for stadiums out of their own pockets! Don't Burden taxpayers! There's nothing wrong with the NFL stadiums of today!

[@camgeiger]

I don't understand Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, being the 5th smallest. I wonder why they haven't gone bigger if they host the Super Bowl as often as they do?

[@stevenvarela7157]

While I can't speak for everyone, I'm personally fine with my Dolphins playing in Hard Rock for a long time. Love that stadium.

[@sthpac6910]

Some of these stadiums can be rehabbed for a lot less taxpayers money.

[@geoffreylee5199]

Yo owners, build your own …

[@tech4life884]

Cleveland browns new stadium is actually almost 4x the cost of the 1 billion dollar renovation at 3.6 BILLION dollars.

[@christiansoldier77]

No stadium needs replacement. Owners are just greedy

[@johnoconnor6356]

In Philadelphia, there was once a stadium called Veterans Stadium, aka The Vet, which was home to both The Philadelphia Eagles, and The Philadelphia Phillies. It served both teams for 33 years. It was replaced by two stadiums, Lincoln Financial Field, aka The Linc, for The Eagles, and Citizens Bank Park, for The Phillies. The Linc is now more than 20 years old, and Citizens Bank is now almost 20 years old, and, amazingly, so far, there is no talk of replacing either stadium. I remember, when The Vet was imploded over 20 years ago, one fan of The Vet, who remembered that stadium from when it was brand new, was so heartbroken, that he said that he would probably be crying every night for the next 33 years after the implosion.

[@1983jblack]

We had the "Moldy Cereal Bowl" that I called Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. It was the powerplant for the Big Red Machine

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

I just heard Cleveland going to the Brook Park Dome is a done deal......

[@stormageddon248]

Congrats? Are you happy about it?

[@ajwilson1985]

Clevelander here our mayor offered 460 million to stay but the dome is pretty much a done deal 4.6 billion

[@CyberNut930]

An AFC north team in a dome is so off brand and just doesn’t feel right.

[@Sir-Blaze]

​@@ajwilson1985London living 216 raised, I want a rebuild on the lake more than I can even fathom.

[@madringking1119]

I was in Cleveland for Summerslam and stayed near Brooklyn Park. It's only a 15-20 minute drive to downtown. Plus there's plenty of public transit to get from there to the city.

[@cjmarsh504]

The Caesar's Superdome is ranked #39, while Smoothie King Center is above it in #36. However, the Commander's Field is dead last at # 90. Yes, this is coming from Sports illustrated's list.

[@dawakat08]

Before I even watch I doubt NRG will be on here, that stadium has awesome views all over it for football games and concerts plus it’s got that big ass screen if you don’t wanna look down

[@ImGoingSupersonic]

MOM said hi dood. Good vid as always.

[@Sonicz0]

Soon it seems it'll all be indoor stadiums which sucks.

[@jackhoffmann8646]

They should build new ones but let them pay for it no the taxpayers F these owners.

[@madringking1119]

There's nowhere within the city limits to put a new football stadium in Pittsburgh. Pitt won't even build one in Oakland. The Steelers would have to look somewhere in Allegheny County to build it. Maybe where Century 3 is.

[@Undecided0]

It’s crazy that the Ravens stadium opened only 1 year after the Commanders stadiums. Yet the Ravens stadium still looks like a new stadium. Since they’re tearing down RFK Stadium. It only makes sense to build a new stadium there for the Commanders. It has rail access already.

[@johnmaxwell4072]

Amazing to me how buildings like cathedrals, museums, etc were built by incredible artisans and craftsmen 200-400-900 years ago and are still not only functional, but they are treasured pieces of architecture. But, spend $1.5-$2.5 on an nfl stadium and BAM!!….it’s busted up, falling apart and deemed obsolete after 25-30 years.

[@brandonsmith5488]

If these leach owners literally just had 1 good design and spent their money on the field, they wouldn’t have to use the venue as a selling point. Case in point, Arizona/Phoenix Coyotes.

[@uhhhmaeve]

Was at the BofA Stadium last year for a game and goddamn that thing needs some help - I have fond memories of watching various incarnations of my Colts embarrass the Panthers there, but the place is definitely showing its age, fingers crossed the upgrades work out Actually gonna be visiting Everbank this November, I bet that if nothing else, the Jags fans are gonna be lively as hell

[@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555]

I don't think taxpayers should be on the hook for "ANY" money to build a stadium. Let the billion dollar league finance and pay for their playing arenas. Last time I went to a football game, I guess it was only 1 game, tickets were like $60 per and then I had to buy a 6pack of beer to get a single cup and buy a full pack of ball park franks to get one dog. It was NOT a family friendly outing what so ever. So ... I choose to not go, if you choose to go great, but I shouldn't have to subsidize the cost of your entertainment. I'm all about subsidizing the cost of things which has a necessity to them like roads and public schools, but your entertainment doesn't even make the top 10 million of things. If I have to pay to revamp roads / traffic around said venue well that falls into a necessity and ... I suppose (lol). If a football stadium wants to defray the costs .... then partner with the local baseball team, a huge concert promoter, something else that can bring in the people and the $$'s .... or go ahead charge $100's per ticket and make the fans support the TRUE cost of their entertainment.

[@AdamsDuhStuff]

Agreed 100%. I'm sick and tired of these backyard sport playing people getting paid a lot more money than teachers all the while receiving taxpayer funding. NFL = rigged anyway and therefore shouldn't receive a penny!

[@russellst.martin4255]

Do public schools next

[@gerrylee1687]

I worked at commanders field for events, the toilets gets backed up so bad that the rest rooms get flooded.

[@Geno2733]

So, the fans are also full of shit, not just the team.

[@spencermiller2032]

Nah. Arrowhead is too iconic to be replaced. The Bucs stadium has a freaking pirate ship and the Jaguars stadium renovation is complete overkill. I hate how every new stadium has a clear roof. It looks so unoriginal. Buffalo is doing it right. Keep outdoor stadiums!
