The Stadiums of Columbus!

We showcase the stadiums and arenas of Columbus, Ohio. Thanks for watching!

[@aMuncieChannel]

I helped construct Nationwide Arena, Value City Area, Huntington Park and renovate Ohio Stadium and St John Arena. All the brick around Nationwide Arena and landscaping around the others I did. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@simpsonsfan09]

As a Columbus resident, thanks for doing this! And I actually like our skyline. 😊

[@masonedmund9086]

Fun fact about St. John from an ohio state student-athlete. The stadium is now a weight room for olympic sports athletes. And the scoreboard is gone. The wood floor is replaced by rubber and scarlet and grey turf. GO BUCKS!

[@cgustina]

Thank you for finally doing Columbus.

[@loufancelli1330]

As an old Columbus resident I am glad you included the Barn/Coliseum. That place was a mecca of high school basketball for decades, and I spent many March days and nights in that old drafty place with the wonky floor. It has also hosted monster truck rallies and jet ski races. The Schott, which is how most of us refer to Value City Arena, was a terrible move for OSU basketball. They did fill it up for years, and with a new coach will probably fill it again going forward, but it does not have anywhere near the atmosphere that old St John Arena had. It's funny we were so happy to get a new arena, then when it opened - it was terrible and now most of us old timers desperately want OSU basketball to move back to St John. The lesson here is - spend the money to update a historical basketball arena, but do NOT build a "multipurpose" arena for your basketball team,.

Better punchline is. “i (sic) insure you that this not a Nationwide ad.

MLSのスタジアムは流石プロ仕様でとてもクールでサッカーを観るスタジアムとして理想的ですね。 Ohioを代表するビッグスタジアムはとてもユニークな形でありながらもどの席からも観やすい配慮がしっかりされているのがまた素晴らしい。

[@guyorsini1044]

Interesting fact about St.John's arena; in the 1980s the university had to forbid the fans from doing the clapping and stomps of Queen's "We Will Rock You" because it matched the resonant frequency of the upper stands raising serious fibrations causing fears that if the fans kept it that the upper seating bowl may collapse.

[@bizmen81]

You forgot the OSU Ice Rink, where the 2024 National Champions, Ohio State Women's Hockey, play.

[@ethanhatcher5533]

And the 2022

[@GuymontagFahr451]

The Ice Rink is connected to St Johns via tunnel. You can see it in the video of St Johns when he covers the arena...it also only holds like 800 people.

[@jacob_peterson]

The capacity in there does not meet the threshold he has. It doesn't even fit 1,000 people. I guess he could've mentioned it when talking about St. John's though.

[@masonedmund9086]

OSU lacrosse also has a brand new stadium and as another comment mentions, womens' ice hockey rink is home to some champions too.

[@brightstaroflove]

Historic crew stadium is also home to the Columbus Eagles women's soccer team. Love the videos keep up the good work!

[@Musicdude04]

Wrong C city in Ohio. Comment #12 to get cincinnati next. Also DM for a lost of venues that might get missed.

Who could forget Thomas Valuecity… pronounced vah-loos. Legendary member of the curling team.

[@wyattsmith2498]

Ohio State Marching Band member here. I’ve got a little more information about St. John Arena. As of now, St. John is used pretty much exclusively by the band for a pep rally called Skull Session, which takes place two hours before kickoff on football Saturdays. We play the music to our traditional pregame and our halftime show for the week, both as a rehearsal and concert. Unfortunately, it is due for demolition at the end of the football season, and a new state of the art ice hockey complex will be built in its place.

[@stevenvarela7157]

Bruh, that Kanye joke killed me XD

Sitting right next to the shoe watching this GO BUCKS

[@spicyboi2223]

Can we get Stadiums of Charlotte next?

[@TheWideWorldofStadiums]

I finished that video a while ago. Maybe I'll release it on Saturday.

[@cgustina]

Nationwide is an insurance company.

[@alexgray2653]

Nationwide Realty is a company too and they developed the arena district.

[@davelb87]

Looking forward to the inevitable Cleveland/Akron video one of these days.

[@ryanvason6818]

That should have been first

[@ethanhatcher5533]

So Value City was built with the Blue Jackets in mind, just not in the way you might think; it was Ohio State's last despreate attempt to keep the NHL out of Columbus. They thought that if they built an NHL sized arena and forbade its use by the league, that expansion would die. They didnt predict Nationwide just building an arena anyway

[@3Speedboy]

Deught Jochem over 21 Pilots is crazy

[@sjsharkman1238]

That’s what I was thinking 😂

Still hoping: Indiana High School gyms (30+ over 5,000 seat gyms)

[@andyk10013]

Cincinnati next and Cleveland to follow perhaps?

[@user-ui8it3bw5x]

Dwight Yoakem. They call him king shit up here on shit mountain, if you want it you can have the crown. 👍 good stuff man. Good way to end the video.

[@supersasukemaniac]

I have an idea, Stadiums of the X-League, Japans' Professional Gridiron/American Football League

[@Astragoth2]

You missed Fortress Obetz.

[@domtom9594]

Are you gonna do another college football stadiums but for the new members of the ACC, SEC, B10, B12 and etc since lot of new teams moved...

[@TheEricwithAK]

Columbus, an Italian explorer who discovered....gravity?

[@TheWideWorldofStadiums]

Yes, before Columbus, everybody was just floating around in the air. It's a well known fact.

[@aevi09]

my city!!!!!!

[@ericroundtree8180]

Hey, when are you going to do Philadelphia?

[@spg5658]

That would be called "homicides of Philadelphia" given the crime there

[@ericroundtree8180]

@@spg5658 I have no idea where you're from but are you from the Philadelphia area? I'm trying to figure out your reason to say something about Philly ly like that

[@spg5658]

​@@ericroundtree8180Not from there but have visited many times (prior to 2020). It was a wonderful fun place but since 2020 the crime has been out of control by choice, really. The Social Justice movement that exploded in 2020 ruined what was a cool place that was relatively safe in many areas . Very sad now

[@ericroundtree8180]

I don't truly believe you're ever been to Philly and to bring up 2020 as a representation of Philadelphia is wrong. I honestly think that you saw stuff or on TV online to have a opinion like this.

[@spg5658]

@@ericroundtree8180 @ericroundtree8180 I follow crime stats very carefully all across USA. What has happened in Philly is almost exactly like Chicago, where, prior to 2020, there were known safe areas and known bad areas and good folks could just avoid the bad areas and have a great time. They used to be two very fun cities. Been to both many times. Now, even in "good areas" like Centre City, you see crime that you never saw before 2020. The City would not tolerate it and for good reason. Same in Chicago. To see crime now on the North side is so sad. Used to be safe as any place in USA. Similar in Baltimore, DC, San Fran, etc. Terrible.

[@j0hnbuchanan]

Cincinnati next.. also cincy is biggest in Ohio by metro population 😏

[@SplitrockStudios]

I saw my house at one point

[@neilwhitaker6284]

Dwight Yoakum plays a musical genre called the Bakersfield Sound. The Horseshoe has to be the best of the lot on this vid but disagree it is not as good as the Big House.

[@phoenyx269]

Could we get Philadelphia soon?

[@TheWideWorldofStadiums]

I'll try and get it done soon.

[@markbrown4039]

Fun fact - inside the roof of the Ohio Stadium rotunda are maize and blue flowers, Michigan colors. Legend was that it was because OSU lost a bet when Michigan throttled them in the Stadium's dedication game in 1922, but the colors were actually approved before construction. Also, it was Michigan's marching band that actually taught the famous Script Ohio to Ohio State's band. Buckeyes are indebted to That School Up North more than they're willing to admit.

Yes. The City of Ohio State... Ehem. I mean Columbus. 😂

Doing columbus and not cleveland is crazy … every ohio person knows cleveland is Phil’s real capital

For this Miami Boy, I will never like anything Ohio State, or Columbus... January 3rd 2003 Look it up my friends, a Football Crime was committed by a referee who gave them a national championship over my Miami Hurricanes.... With that being said, great video, and I hate Columbus, and Ohio State. 😁

[@neilwhitaker6284]

everybody outside of Ohio hates Ohio and OSU I've come to realize :)

[@semipenguin]

I’ve been through Miami. It’s just north of Cincinnati. Great place 😀

[@MB-xq9hu]

@@semipenguin Yes the cradle of Coaches, they probably hate Columbus and Ohio state just as much, it's a Miami brotherhood thing 😉

[@devinmackey83]

A crime that the ref flew a justified flag on the play? Miami lost. Deal with it.
