Hey DG. How about a “Renderings vs. Reality” series on how the finished arenas stack up to the proposed renderings?

[@robertking6005]

this would be dope

[@mhurley782]

That, and maybe, what makes an arena no-good anymore.

[@lakerskid2013]

Maybe even point out any stadiums, buildings, and other structures that actually look better in reality than in renderings possibly? I’m sure there’s a handful of them out there although it would probably be rare and hard to find

[@Cooljohn760]

I love DG videos when it is about stadium or arenas being renovated or getting a new building.

[@WDI2008]

The New Orleans Pelicans need a new Arena for sure as well!

[@davidsonrither6052]

I'm pretty sure that they will at some point but they better do it Atleast break ground with in announcement bye the end of 2024 😅

[@richardlittle1663]

Pelicans should relocate to Montréal, Québéc Canada as the Montréal Pelicans where they would their home games at the Max Bell Centre arena

[@jackfoster20]

I live in the OKC area The OKC arena is still very early in the planning stages. They are still deciding on a site for it. Renderings won’t happen for a while, but it’s going to be massive, almost double the current footprint of the current Paycom Center. I’d be very surprised if it didn’t go over $1 billion by the time it’s all said and done. Plus you have to remember that OKC is one of the cheapest metro areas in the USA. Building the same arena in LA would cost close to double

[@tourobscure]

As a Brit just expanding my knowledge on American sports venues (for no particular reason!) I appreciate your videos man!

[@davidtolman1266]

Bring back the sonics

[@davidsonrither6052]

It's coming back my friend Adam silver spoke about it in he mentioned in said Seatle will get the sonics back the issue know is when it's most possibly 2026

[@iamchaunceman]

As a mavs fan with zero Seattle sports bias my opinion that OKC should’ve waited for an expansion if anything and that the Sonics should have never left. Honestly, there are still several big metros that deserved a NBA team before any city in Oklahoma. If it weren’t for Katrina and the hornets they’d never have been considered a worthy suitor.

[@davidtolman1266]

@@davidsonrither6052 did he really say that?

[@frictionhitch]

The Delta Center will likely get an attached hotel and stay in use for the Salt Palace convention center. Smith actually owns the arena as well as the Jazz. My guess is that he sells it to the county in return for some funding for his own arena likely on 400 South and Main.

[@ezhsiang3410]

About the possible expansion Vegas team: so basically what the narrator was saying is that the new arena will be like what exists at Mohegan Sun (home of the WNBA Sun) and Mandalay Bay (home of the WNBA Aces)…..just probably on a bigger, ritzier scale…..

[@kurtisokc]

At the time the Paycom Center was planned and built it was assumed that it would likely attract an NHL team rather than an NBA team.

[@kmlynden1]

Ummm.... Mark Cuban sold majority ownership of the Mavs a Month and a half ago.

[@iamchaunceman]

Yes, what’s your point? He sold the majority to the Sands corp, simply to A) get billions so he has the liquidity to even build an arena B) the Sands corp as he stated is “ the lead experts in building casinos “ so his team dream project can happen. Owning a third will still allow him to have control of the team but now the new majority owners can focus on the gambling and casino aspect. Hes thinking 100s of billions because there’s no revenue share when it comes to business outside the arena even if they are connected. You’re seeing hotels and large venues now being built with stadiums for that reason. A third is still alot of value if you’re also owning a third of a casino and hotel now.

[@jahmalonbethel1307]

Canada 🇨🇦 gearing up for that GTA 6.

[@andre86w]

The Paycom Center in OKC was built initially to attract an NHL team. When the voters approved that arena, minor league hockey was a BIG deal with the OKC Blazers in the 80s and 90s. They averaged 9000+ fans over the course of 17 seasons in the arena across the street at the Myriad Arena.

[@eshep71]

Its crazy watching Vegas acquire sports teams at the rate if they can get MLB and NBA.

[@TheLoreNetwork413]

It’s amazing isn’t it??? All of a sudden, leagues are rushing to be there….

[@davidsonrither6052]

In it's not really a sport's town like that not even a city 😂 manly a desert with a bunch of hotel's in high rises 😂

[@eshep71]

@@davidsonrither6052 and everything happens in the city Paradise, not Vegas. I actually wonder if the city of Vegas even gets a cut. I know that in the beginning, casinos were built just outside of the town limit to avoid taxes to the city, but I imagine that would have had to change in order to accommodate the infrastructure growth around the area. Wouldn't it be something if the actual city of Vegas didn't get much monetary benefit from the team named after them?

[@realrecognizingreal4610]

Can you stadiums for then USFL and other football leagues

[@wooderice64]

I know this is a "trust me bro" kind of comment, but I work in tourism in Philadelphia and one of my bosses who is also a Center City business owner said that the arena on East Market is definitely happening. He personally is opposed, I'm ambivalent about it. I think a solid argument could be made either way.

[@andrewcbelton]

I’m from philly and i think that if the city thinks it’s going to get money from the arena, they’ll build it regardless of what anyone wants. Plus the new Mayor is for it

[@manuelgrothe608]

9:04 The WNBA Dallas Wings might make a decision either go to the new Maverick Arena or remaining Arlington College Arena

[@manuelgrothe608]

10:04 it’s best for the Jazz in New Orleans

[@jexsheffield]

Definitely should be some discussion about the Pelicans

[@GoalHornGeek]

My guess is that the Jazz will be getting that new arena. SLC will need to build another arena for the Olympics and It will also need to be high-capacity. If the state/city has to fund it, I can imagine they’d want a long-term tenant such as the Jazz and would make it multi-purpose

[@manuelgrothe608]

7:54 we need a new San Antonio WNBA team In Neo Spurs Arena that is next door to the Alamodome

[@noonevincecarterfan]

The AAC in Dallas is fine. Even though it's not brand new anymore, it still seems very modern and has great features. Upgrates of technology may happen but should be enough for quite a while.

[@meankrandel]

as a san Antonio resident the frost bank center is not that far from downtown, without traffic maybe 10-15 minutes

[@AustinBeal1]

As a fellow 32 year SA resident, the Frost Bank center not being downtown isn’t the real issue. It’s location on the east side in a relatively undesirable side of town is the problem. The city/county decided to go cheap on the location when building the arena, and justified it as a “revitalization of the east side” but that never progressed beyond building the arena. Now it looks so completely out of place wedged between a CocaCola bottling plant and the 100 year old Freeman Coliseum. With Wemby being the potential face of the NBA, San Antonio needs to understand the pressure of the situation. The downtown area is already well equipped with hotels and attractions that a new arena would easily be able to thrive.

[@July9326]

@@AustinBeal1 As another San Antonio resident who actually lived the majority of my life on the eastside right by it on new braunfels ave, the city did lie about "developing" the area around it that they had plans for over 20 years ago. Nothing ever progressed in the area, zero growth for businesses etc. so it was obvious that the only purpose was for them to save money and be cheap when it was constructed. I agree with our new franchise player Wemby being the face of the league now they must capitalize and build something better downtown that would actually help the city's economy since they need to realize Victor will bring in millions to billions of dollars for the entirety of his career so money should not be an excuse now for building the new arena downtown.

[@davidgola_]

Funny how the Wiz arena is downtown. I'm from the DMV and think it's located in a perfect area where teams like the Sixers and Spurs are trying to move down town

[@robertvillarreal3038]

The University of Texas at San Antonio just agreed to lease, to the city of San Antonio, the property that their Institute of Texan Cultures sits on. They are set to demolish the building and relocate that museum to another downtown location. This move has certainly increased the speculation that city will eventually move the Spurs to a new arena which would be built on that land. It is an ideal location, at it it is right next to the Hemisfair Tower and within walking distance of the River Walk. The Frost Bank Center would then be turned over to the county and would continue to host the rodeo and other events and concerts. I would think that the Spurs would prefer a timeline of five years or so since they would want to take advantage of the Wemby era. There are studies taking place for this development, a portion of which probably pertains to funding. Also, the Spurs would have to pay the county a penalty if they moved out of the Frost Bank Center prior to the expiration of the lease, which is in 2032.

[@craigcreamer4123]

I’ve been very patiently waiting for the renderings of the new OKC Thunder stadium… why are they taking so long to show us?

[@CouLands]

Why rush it? They have until 2029 and want to get it right. The city is still trying to figure out where to put it-but it will be near the current arena downtown.

[@paulhearn1086]

OKC is now entering the developmental phase of the new arena. Renderings will be released date is still unknown. The only thing approved is the funding for building it. Site location will probably just across the street to the north of The Paycom Center. The arena there will be demolished.

[@lorenzohaynes3886]

If Ciban could get a casino, that would mean gambling would be legal in Texas. I hope that happens.

[@mikes7446]

Homes need to be built with retractable roofs

[@barackojamba]

Why

[@alexcupungonyy]

Coming from someone who lives in the Philadelphia area and fan of the sixers and flyers, 76er Place is absolutely not happening. No one in the city wants this arena and there are even multiple petitions going around to get rid of this idea all together. Plus wells fargo center just got massive renovations in the past 5 years and is beloved by everyone in the city so it is pretty safe to say that 76er place is likely not gonna happen. It better not at least.

[@LightningCeltic]

Utah Jazz are for sure getting one and I would expect soon as they just got public funding ($900 Million) for a new one.

[@manuelgrothe608]

[@joshuathecat-human1247]

If Mavs get the new arenas. I think the stars might move to Dickie arena or will Rodgers memorial center. Because they have something there for the stars. Which causes the American airlines center to be gone. So can we agree here.

No they don’t. The United Center is easy to commute to. Might have some age but it is still holding up well. Plus it’s conveniently located.

[@DRMZ37]

Virginia needs a team thats not in the DMV area 🙄🙄 specifically since we know the Wizards ans Capitals will still be considered a Washington team. I mean the Commanders play in VA yet theyre a Washington team. So yeah Richmond or Virginia Beach would be a great place for a Virginia team

[@Seahawks931]

Can’t wait for the day his channel becomes “not depressed ginger” 🥲🥲

[@s.n.9485]

When the Spurs arena was built, everyone knew it was a crappy location in an industrial and poorer economic area. IE, nobody wanted to go or hang out there and there was nothing to do other than the Spurs. The reasoning the city and ownership gave is that the Arena would revitalize and spur (no pun intended) economic development on the east side and make the area more appealing. 20 years later, the Arena's exterior looks like shit and the area still sucks.

[@manuelgrothe608]

1:36 WNBA Oklahoma City team

[@robertoverby3411]

I can tell you the Spurs WILL have a new arena in the next 4-5 years. They are going to raze the Institute of Texans Culture building and build there.

[@NHLCrazy2007]

It is bad enough that L.A. is going to once again have separate arenas for the Clippers and Lakers, so why the hell does Las Vegas need ANOTHER arena? Just put the NBA team into T-Mobile Arena. And even right after the renovations were done, how is Wells Fargo Center not good enough? The reason the 76ers ownership group is even pursuing this is is like the Clippers, they do not want to be a tenant in another team's owned building. And as for the 76ers, Chinatown is an adjacent neighborhood directly north of the Fashion District Philadelphia shopping mall. The western third of the mall would be demolished to build 76ers Place. Chinatown residents and businesses are against it because they think the arena would destroy their neighborhood. Then again, they complain about the existence of the Vine Street Expressway because they think it divides their neighborhood. This project is a very long way from happening. The 76ers already had their initial plan at Penn's Landing turned down by the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation in favor of a future park. Lastly, the Arizona Coyotes are not moving to Salt Lake City.

[@jordanlanphear9126]

I love these youtubers that say the Wells Fargo renovation wasn't good enough. Like dude, the arena feels brand new... you have no idea what you're talking about haha

[@binginggaming]

Hi

[@jeffadventures1]

MGM has a lot of influence, they are the reason the A's stadium is being built on the Tropicana site because all their casinos surround it. T-Mobile is very likely where the Vegas team will play as I believe the ownership group will involve the Golden Knights owner and MGM will want the team to play right there next to all their casinos. A lot of back-pocket envelopes will be passed around lol

[@kurtisokc]

Calling any current NBA arena ‘decrepit’ is ridiculous.

[@williamlambert]

NBA arenas don't need retractable roofs it's not a football stadium it's an arena for basketball wtf

The *76ers* Actually Are Being _Smart_ By Planning For Their Future Arena 7 Years In *ADVANCE !¡!* They Would’ve Moved _Earlier_ *BUT* Their Current Lease Agreement Does *-NOT-* Expire Until The 🔚 Of Year 2030! This Is The Reason They (76ers) Are Planning This Far In Advance. Also, The 76ers Are 2nd Class Citizens In Their Own Arena. The Flyers Gets 🥇Priority On Home Game 📆s _&_ The Owner Of The Arena, Comcast Spectacor, *Also* Owns The Philadelphia Flyers So There Is A Conflict Of Interest From _Both_ The Philadelphia Flyers _&_ Comcast Spectacor¡!¡ The 76ers Also Have To Share (Split) A % Of Their *HIGHLY LUCRATIVE* Food _&_ Beverage Concessions Revenue. Also, Because The 76ers Are A Tenant, They Have To Pay Rent For Comcast Spectacor Arena (🤷🏿‍♂️, Whatever It’s 📞 Today). All Of These Things Is Why The 76ers, Even In The 5th *_Largest_* 📺 Market In 🇺🇸, Are _-NOT-_ Amongst The Most Valuable NBA Franchises In The NBA. Another Reason The *76ers* Are Planning So Far In Advance For Their New Arena Is Where The Arena Is Going To Be Located: The 🇨🇳Town District. The Team Wants To Be Good Co-Habitats With The Community Of 🇨🇳Town _&_ Alleviate *ANY* Problems, Fears, Challenges Or Concerns That May Arise With A Project Of This Magnitude.
