@marcus8138 ай бұрын
Magic fan here. Amway Arena (née Orlando Arena, AKA the O-Rena) was pretty much rendered obsolete by the time it opened. Its price tag would be over US$280M in 2024 money. The capacity was too small at first, but that issue was fixed. One thing that doomed the O-Rena was the luxury suites because they had the unfortunate combination of being as expensive as you would expect and being near the ceiling, making them the worst seats in the house. The Pistons moved into The Palace of Auburn Hills (Mich.) the year before the O-Rena opened and it had luxury suites that were located in a more reasonable part of the arena (even Milwaukee's Bradley Center, which also opened in '88, had suites in a better place), so the O-Rena was being outdone both before and soon after it opened. The Palace changed the arena game and the O-Rena had no hope of keeping up.

I don't agree that the Pyramid of Memphis was bizarre...unless the context of bizarre is in the spirit of being unique which is what the pyramid was in 1991 and still is today. A very out-of-the-box arena design for it's time which is refreshing. If anything it was ahead of it's time considering the arena designs of its contemporaries. I toured the Pyramid in '94 and was rather impressed. The exterior was spectacular, especially at night . The interior was ok, nothing spectacular. I just loved the fact that it was a pyramid...hence unique. Also the city of Memphis is the name of an a city in ancient Egypt, so the choice of a pyramid design was logical/appropriate. I recall seeing two Egyptian statues on the outside perimeter which added to the Egyptian theme. I can't speak to any interior design flaws that reduced the pyramid to a sports/concert venue that wasn't sustainable, however on the upside it was reinvented which is something that is seldom ever done with sports arenas. They usually end up with a fate that involves demolition. Having an ongoing pyramid in Memphis is that very rare nod to ancient history which makes it one of a kind. As for new Comiskey, well it looks about as good as it can possibly look. Is it terrible stadium? Not in my opinion Is it unremarkable? Definitely. It should have been designed to emulate the original park. Is it very accessible regarding the commute? Absolutely. Is it great for watching a game? Certainly. The views are excellent in my opinion. Are the White Sox a terrible team? You can bet your ass they are...but i digress. A horrible venue would define the current stadium for the Oakland Athletics. In direct comparison, I can guarantee you, the reader, that new Comiskey is much better....pun intended. 😜 Hopefully the White Sox can secure a new stadium in the next few years that is not a burden to the Illinois taxpayers , at a more logical & scenic location that is well-designed. The site under consideration would be an fantastic location for them to acquire.

When Kroenke took over, he used the stadium against St. Louis and demanded a new stadium be built, when they didn’t, he took the opportunity to move back to LA like he wanted to since he’d been on staff.

Wasn’t unable to do he sold the team to an OKC group & the rest is history. Luckily all of Key Arena (except for the roof - from the original coliseum) was completely torn out & a brand new arena underneath the roof was built for hockey, basketball & concerts as Climate Pledge Arena.

Truist park needs to be here because it was redundantly built twenty years after turner field was, turner field wasn't showing its age or anything like that, also truist park is in a bad area, it's at least an hour and beyond far away from Atlanta.

Agreed i visited as a neutral last year. Needed an uber, train, bus and then 25 min walk to get there. Getting back it took an hour+ for an uber or lyft

Truist was built as a cash grab and a bit of racism

Bro coldest take of the century, turner was literally in the hood. When you have fans getting shot by gang bangers you gotta move. As atl is gay

The Braves are claiming that their new stadium is closer to their fans. Turner Field was originally built for the Olympics & the Braves wanted a stadium built more for baseball. There was also the idea of a baseball village with businesses around the stadium.

Turner Field was in the middle of a run down slum. In 20 years, nothing was built up around it because no sane company wanted to invest there, including the Braves, and no bank would underwrite a loan in that area. Truist Park is the centerpiece of an entertainment district that is allowing the Braves to make way more money than they ever could at Turner Field, which was obsolete well before they left. Not to mention, they're out of crime-ridden Atlanta.

You lose 10 points for incorrectly putting an apostrophe in "Arenas," when it should only have one if you're contracting "Arena" and "is," or you're talking about something the place owns. (And don't get me started about people who confuse "its" and "it's"!)

Arenas. The graphic says arena's. This is a mistake. No apostrophe for plural.

Other than there's no entertainment district around Guaranteed Rate for after the game fun I see nothing wrong with it. In fact other than that I think it's better than Wrigley.

Mapfre in Columbus is still a iconic landmark in Columbus even tho the mls team here moved closer to downtown. It still hosts the Columbus crew 2 soccer team (basically the developmental team for our mls team) and i think a woman’s team also plays there the Columbus eagles
