Ranking EVERY Stadium in the 2023 MLS Season

[@th3awak3ning10]

I'm a HUGE Crew fan, but I'm so happy that someone gave Allianz its flowers. I want to get over there at some point

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

Definitely! I really need to make my way up there one day before it's gone!

[@Purplejade0]

Same im from columbus

[@AKPhilly]

It's crazy how much MLS has grown. I started following it once Philly got a team and just in that time it's drastic the difference. Can't wait to see what MLS looks like in 10 years.

[@Deltamadeit]

STL native here as well, City Park is incredible. Went to 5 games first season, it was magical each time I can't believe we have our own team.

[@GreeneGamer]

I have been to three. Happy to see we have a deserving placement on here.

[@christophermunoz8692]

Being a minnesotan united fan, seeing you rank the allianz field 1st, couldn't make me agree with you more, love the vid 💪

[@vitulinamusic]

Wonderwall! My favorite stadium too, although I’m biased

[@Corrupt_Player]

I love it when I go to Allianz field every time or even just driving past it

[@turner2084]

Keep making videos we need more MLS KZbinrs!

I recently visited St. Louis, and I got to see the stadium (didn't go into it, but got to see it anyways. Plus it definitely helped that I was staying in the nearby Union Station Hotel). It's an absolutely beautiful soccer stadium. It was during my trip there that I decided to become an STL City Fan. Great city, great stadium, can't wait to root for STL going forward.

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

Thats so awesome to hear! I’m glad you enjoyed it, I really do love our city and our team. CITYPARK is a gorgeous stadium

[@elicarlson7682]

What a great video, honestly best stadium ranking video I’ve ever seen, I appreciated how much work I could tell you put into this and I liked how you expressed all your thoughts and made a video about mls stadiums as long as it deserves to be. Top tier would give it multiple likes if I could. 👍

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

Thank you so much, it was definitely a grind but well worth it!!

[@WannaBeGoalkeeper]

Chicago fire did have a football specific stadium but it moved out cause nearly went in to administration playing at the Seatgeek stadium

[@ZEROs0000]

If you cut this video into little shorts for every clubs stadium and posted them I bet this channel would get a lot more traction and subscribers.

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

That's actually a really good idea thank you!

[@JoeyB-2001]

This list feels objectively correct. While pretty much any of the top 8 stadiums could be in the top 3, i think you just about got it right. Great vid!

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

100% agree, the top 8-9 stadiums are all world class and it was really hard to rank them lol

[@jityooo]

Wish I got to go to CityPark, I got to watch SLC at SKC this season and it was awesome. Pretty sure all the sporting fans weren’t too happy with my loud yelling lol.

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

City Park is crazy! I've only been able to make one game because of the ticket prices lol but it was well worth it. Away games at Children's Mercy are also a great time though! They've got a really intimate stadium

[@yoohooenjoyer]

the seats at orlando are one of the sweetest things ive ever seen 😢

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

Such a sweet touch to make an often-marginalized community feel welcome

[@elicarlson7682]

My two favorite teams are also STL City SC and Redbulls!

[@Federico-b1n]

Geodis Park is for me the best stadium in the MLS and an example to follow for future league-specific stadiums

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

It’s a really cool stadium!

[@Eternalduelist56]

I know that I am biased, but we have had plenty of moments at I&C (formerly Exploria) Stadium. The first I can think of is Rodrigo Schlegel making a save in the 2020 playoffs. There's "The Running Of The Wall" from the 2019 US Open Cup, or the Nani game winner against Atlanta in 2021. I mean the first MLS goal is cool, but that was at the Citrus Bowl (Camping World Stadium)

[@pesky716]

Just went to my first MN UFC Loons game this week at Allianz Field. I thought the stadium was awesome, but I wanted to see how it ranked with other MLS stadiums which is how I found your video. Crazy to think we have arguably the best MLS Stadium in the league. I can definitively say we have one of the MLB best ballparks with Target Field, home of the MN Twins.

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

That’s so fun! Minnesota has some of the best stadiums and arenas in the country, maybe one day the product on the field will be at that same level… 😂jk

[@pesky716]

@@USsoccerwithKopu Twins are looking good, the Timberwolves just made it to the Western Conference finals and the Lynx are in 1st place 🤷🏻‍♂️. This will be a tough year for the Vikings, and despite being the “state of hockey”, the Wild continue to be terribly mismanaged. They have a beautiful stadium as well though.

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

A championship is coming y’all’s way soon, it’s much overdue

[@joesshiesty9]

the stadium might be a ( football specific) but atlanta united fills it up every game even when the upper concourse is open

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

Atlanta definitely has one of the coolest and most impressive gameday atmospheres in the league. If I ever redid my list I can definitely see myself moving Atlanta further up!

[@sunglassdubsteps5268]

As a massive Timbers fan, I would actually rank PNW MLS stadium as following; Providence Park>BC Place>Lumen Field. The only way Providence Park could top other two PNW MLS teams is to demolish the Multnomah Athletic Club building located on one of the side of the Providence Park and complete the oval shape adding more seats and food stands..

[@nickredux4845]

As an STL fan, CITYPARK is not big but really nice.

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

The smaller, more intimate vibe it gives off is a part of the experience that I actually really like!

[@MS-wi9hn]

Noway Orlando's stadium is nicer than Redbull Arena or Philly. It's ghetto as hell the area it's in, I know so is Philly. As a Philly hater, I have to say their stadium is really nice in person. That Bridge in the background gives it such a unique look. Redbull Arena is literally down the road from NYC and there's so many really good restaurants in that area. Redbulls as a franchise just suck, I was a season ticket holder until 2018. I've seen all of Henry's games. Those are the only 3 Soccer Specific Satdiums I have been to.

[@TheUrbanAtlanta]

Atlanta's stadium gotta be higher up! Great vid tho

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

I really do love Mercedes-Benz stadium and I agree I probably should've put it a couple spots higher. Cheapest concessions I've ever seen, incredible exterior, and a very well done and imposing interior. But while they do an incredible job compared to all the other NFL-MLS stadiums with making it feel intimate using their banners and other stadium strategies, I still just think I really appreciate the intimacy that comes with a smaller, soccer specific park and I just feel like Atlanta's stadium lacks in that regard just a little bit due to it's massive size. Regardless, awesome stadium that I really want to get to in person one day!

[@itslife1399]

Just thought you'd like to know!! :) Can't wait for NYCFC's brand new stadium in 2027! and for Freedom Park in 2025! Chicago Fire is set to open a "Chicago Fire Performance Facility" in 2024( sometime this year). So hey that's something lmao looks neat tho Charlotte denied funding to Charlotte Fc, but The stadium is undergoing a 50million dollar renovation to better accommodate Charlotte FC and it's Fans. So I guess it's their home for the foreseeable future. Colorado's owner is looking to make a deal with the city to obtain 70+acres to build a new stadium for the rapids. Don't know if it got approved or what, but that's as of mid 2023 when it was reported. PayPal Park( san Jose Quakes) The owner wants to expand the stadium to 30,000, but needs more land and is awaiting the city for their response. To completely close off that stadium would be amazing and give it that intimate feeling. FC Dallas are in talks of Renovating and expanding the current stadium so hopefully it will fix some of the problems mentioned. Philadelphia Union's stadium expansion is not anytime soon, but they did build it with expansion in mind in phases topping at 30k when fully expanded. BUT probably within the next 5 years for the next phase. DC United's Owner wants to expand the stadium as well with some renovations included. Sporting Kansas also has plans to expand to 20k as well. Seattle Sounders just bought land to build a "world class training facility" and also have options of building their own stadium on that land as well if they decide to go that route. I can only imagine how nice and big that stadium would be. probably 30k to play it safe. They did avg 33k last season. and 2022 with 32k and 2021 with 25k. So it's a growing sport in Seattle. Maybe 2024 season will be 35k? who knows. Houston Dynamo just finished a little renovation as well. Austin FC are also just about ready to expand their seating. It'll more filled in from the inside especially at the corners. Orlando fc is also expanding their stadium to 25.5k and doing some renovations as well. Geodis Park(Nashville) is also Expandable as well. Of course I'm sure they are content with it's current state and will wait a few more years before deciding to expand.

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

This is some incredible info! Super excited for all of these, future is looking bright for MLS!!

[@chrisc.4250]

#8 is a ridiculous ranking for cincinnati. you're definitely wrong. Theres a reason the USSF schedules Mexico in that stadium... OVER Columbus.

Longest lasting playoff appearance streak in all American major leagues with 14 years straight. That’s something at least

[@CJTheeOne]

Cincy #1 ive been there its not even close my only complaint is they shouldve made the whole roof either fully closed or retractable for the fans experience went earlier this year 98-102F was sweating to the point of collapse. Im 23 very healthy and all but despite drinking so much water before the game i felt like passing out even after buying 2 bottles at the arena. I get most stadiums arent closed and have the pitch area of the roof open but for heat waves like these roofs are better for the safety of fans and those who are susceptible to heat stroke. Same for nfl why keep it open in the winter and expose fans and most notably young fans to frostbite and hypothermia. Basically all stadiums in baseball and football and futbol in the us shoudl have roofs to keep the fans who are prone to conditions like heat stroke. Before fcc existed went to a columbus crew game a woman passed out during halftime from heat stroke she was like 20-25 (i was 10-12 when i went to this crew game)

[@pauldavis1943]

Houston #10? That seems high.

[@USsoccerwithKopu]

While I agree the stadium rarely has a good atmosphere, I think the stadium itself is very cool and with a strong fan base could be one of the best environments in the league. It’s just that the team has done a rough job of trying to connect to the city and bring crowds to games, so the vibe isn’t great during games because of that not the stadium. With that being said, one of the changes I think I’d make to this list would be switching Atlanta and Houston tbh. Just my opinion though

[@TheRoadTripChannel]

Just remember this, folks. There is only ONE MSL soccer ⚽ team that plays in New York. It's the New York City Football Club. The other team, the (NEW JERSEY) Red Bulls 🐂 physically play at Red Bull Arena, which is located in the Town of Harrison, Hudson County, New Jersey, NOT NEW YORK. LOL. 😁👌

definitely has the potential to be #1, however ultimately so much goes into creating a great stadium to give off a great gameday atmosphere. Sometimes it can be done horribly wrong despite everything being set up right, hopefully that doesn't happen in New York tho, could be a great venue to represent the league!

[@xxdavi95]

@@USsoccerwithKopu the advantage of building the stadium 10 years later is that we see everyone else build one and we cherry pick the best elements of the best stadiums to make it into our stadium. When it’s all said and done NYCFC will have the best stadium in the US for soccer
