10 of the WORST Division 1 Sports Stadiums in America

[@christophercole8114]

It's no longer The Carrier Dome in Syracuse, it's the JMA Wireless Dome. Fun fact, The Carrier Dome's naming rights were held by Carrier, the company whose founder invented the first air conditioning unit. However, the Carrier Dome was not air conditioned for most of its existence. Only after the last renovation and when the name change was announced.

The pronunciations of Quinnipiac, Merrimack, and Canisius were certainly interesting. Distractingly incorrect, but interesting.

Carrier Dome/JMA Wireless Dome is one of the most historic venues in CFB/CBB... great video though!

[@MrCusefan44]

Yeah…having the JMA Dome on a list of the 10 worst stadiums in D1 sports doesn’t do much for the content creator’s credibility.

1:01 It's actually pronounced "Quinn-ihp-E-ack" ... if you're not from the Northeast, that's an easy one to mispronounce, but also keep in mind that college baseball isn't as relevant in the northeast - or even the Big Ten's northern front - compared to most of the ACC, SEC or Big 12 powers (not to mention the West Coast or southern schools who field a competitive program and draw decent crowds). 2:30 Canisius is not along among northeastern schools with multi-purpose multi-sports complexes; it is, however, more common in the D2 ranks and not in non-football conferences like the MAAC. 3:16 Sam Houston State recently completed their first full season as an FBS member after years as an FCS powerhouse (including a national title in the COVID-affected 2020-2021 season). Hence, their stadium is more in line with an FCS program as opposed to FBS. 3:54 Merrimack (locally pronounced as "Mare-UH-mack" - I grew up about 35 minutes northwest of North Andover so I kinda know the area a little bit) is in the Northeast Conference and has been since they transitioned from D2 about 4 years ago. I'm not sure if Merrimack plans to upgrade their gym, but they're still relatively new to D1. 5:19 Duquesne's stadium is indeed worse than some high school fields in the Pittsburgh area. Cupples Stadium, owned by the Pittsburgh Public Schools and located on the South Side, feels more like a football stadium than Rooney Field (and, yes, it's named after *that* Art Rooney of Steelers fame). 7:22 LIU's turf fields that you highlighted were the previous home of LIU-Brooklyn's baseball program in addition to the current home of LIU softball. Most of LIU's athletic programs were transferred to the Brookville (formerly C.W. Post) campus in Nassau County when D1 FCS LIU-Brooklyn merged their athletic programs with D2 LIU-Post a few years ago. 8:24 Hillsboro Stadium is basically a glorified high school stadium owned by the city of Hillsboro. Then again, I don't think too many people in Portland take Portland State too seriously, and Hillsboro Stadium simply brings that point home.

Take a look at the Stonehill Skyhawks men's and women's ice hockey team arena, the Bridgewater Ice Arena. To be fair it is a temporary home, it is a good place to watch a game, and the college is raising funds to have a rink built on campus. The present rink about 15 mile/20 minute ride off campus.

[@alexconteadrenaline]

Merrimack is starting to play more basketball games in their hockey arena which sits around 3000 people. They’ll start to play there more often when they transition to the MAAC.

[@aaronackerman4364]

The second LIU baseball stadium is their old one! LIU has 2 campuses (Brooklyn and Long Island) and used to play there at the Brooklyn campus until a few years ago when the team switched from being based at Brooklyn campus to being based at Long Island campus!

Great video, but the constant zooms make it a bit nauseating. Just something to think about while editing !

[@warrenholmes3311]

'Kwin ah pee ack' Not what this computer narration said (I don't even want to try to write that one out phonetically -- it was a bor ted (SP intentional) from the start, GAWD!!!, I dislike computer narrated videos.

[@warrenholmes3311]

I am EXTREMELY surprised that they called it DOO Cane instead of 'DOO kwez knee.'

[@ikegsports1150]

Yes I'm sorry I even looked up how to pronounce it, and then every time I read it I still said it wrong I don't know why that name is so hard for me to pronounce

[@guessundheit6494]

1:00 - There's absolutely nothing wrong with that field unless you're obsessed with impressing people.

[@aliramadan9256]

the football stadium in Pittsburgh looks nice to play a game on a sunny summer afternoon ngl

[@richbaritone67]

1:01 it's a gorgeous setting... nothing to complain about.

[@anthonybranca1800]

MetLife Stadium is the largest NFL stadium at 82,500.

[@Bigmeechlarryhooover]

I love your channel bro

[@ikegsports1150]

Thanks bro

[@Princess_Aurora]

quinnipiac feels like a travel baseball staduim.

[@maxscameraguy]

Canius looks exactly like LIU-Brooklyn.

[@DJ____SHAKEE]

Alabama a&m is the worst d1 field I’ve ever ever seen

[@Speghenry]

Fuck I live within 15 miles of Canisius and that Niagara

[@kevinbushracing58]

So?
