The Stadiums of New York!

[@shanestanton8]

Citi Field’s home run apple is a tradition that they carried over from Shea Stadium

[@flagtheoffense]

And they didn't bring it over initially until we all went nuts and demanded it.

[@dasportyyamper3798]

Shea's is outside by the 7 line station

Hinchcliffe Stadium in Paterson, NJ is in the process of being renovated to host the Indy League New Jersey Jackals. The Jackals announced their move to Paterson last week and the venue will still be used by the Paterson school system.

[@georgeawestjr.9087]

You spelled the city wrong. There is only ONE "T". It is Paterson, New Jersey. There is also William Paterson University, located in Wayne Township, New Jersey.

[@CreightonRabs]

@@georgeawestjr.9087 It's been so long since I lived back east, I totally spaced out on that. I've corrected it. Thanks for the reminder.

20:20 The census bureau actually does consider Trenton/Princeton its own separate metropolitan area. What you're probably looking at is New York's combined statistical area (CSA), which is a census grouping that adds a few cities that, despite being their own metro area, are nonetheless economically or culturally linked to New York. I agree with including Trenton in the video for completion's sake, though. It's nice to see a beautiful ballpark get a spotlight!

[@Gassy4]

Trenton and Princeton is way closer to Philly than NYC and are more likely considered part of the Philly Metro area

[@rashaadjorden1187]

I think most people consider Trenton part of the Philadelphia market.

Yeah, my school's stadium was nowhere near the cutoff point, I have to admit. I think we estimated that at WT Clarke High School, my alma mater and Chuck D's, Rams Stadium (Now Coach Jack Boyle Memorial Stadium) had a capacity of about 1500, and no lights. I've heard they're looking at turf at least, to save on the upkeep costs (which would help, there was gravel kicking up when I was _marching_ on the field with my French horn, to say nothing of the football team).

[@rnunez6398]

What makes Hinchcliffe Stadium historic is that it was home to the New York Black Yankees and the New York Cubans of the Negro National League.

[@filanfyretracker]

MSG also has a train station in the basement, Penn Station is the busiest transportation hub in the western hemisphere. Or maybe more accurately Penn Station got an arena on the roof.

[@dennisud]

Nice job! I can't wait for more megacities with their stadiums and arenas we can see here!!

[@michaelmccann3953]

Michie Stadium at West Point is closer to NYC then some of the others. Plus it is very historic and iconic.

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

Newark Schools Stadium was renovated. Once it was made like a horseshoe. Once where the archers are was seats. Hintchclife Stadium is/was being renovated.

[@johnciolfi5085]

I understand the need for the attendance cutoff, but it would've been nice to see Fordham's Rose Hill Gymnasium on this list. It's one of the oldest arenas, if not the oldest, in all of NCAA Division I basketball (built in 1925). It's also a pretty nice-looking building, particularly the exterior.

[@VianoMusicAcademy]

Kind of wild to see you down in Aussie showing off my hometown stadiums. Cheers! 🍻

[@timj684]

This is making me feel old. I was attending Stony Brook University when the new stadium opened and its been 20 years...

[@joedb3000]

Delighted to see you included Hinchliffe Stadium. Played b-ball there in the 60's for the Paterson city leagues and Kennedy HS. Thanksgiving Day between Central (later Kennedy) and Eastside High School was a major event at this venue.

[@BBBCBBPodcast]

For the last two years, the County Center has been used as a vaccination site for COVID, and therefore, the WC Knicks moved to Webster Bank Arena, as you've noted. I had season tickets to the first year of the Westchetser Knicks in 2014, went to a ton of high school games there, and also got my COVID vaccine there, which is pretty cool.

[@jacknoble6668]

I got my COVID vaccine in the Cleveland Charge’s Wolstein Center

21:10 Oh, you mean Brendan Byrne Arena. I'm sitting here thinking about listing all the Grateful Dead shows in these arenas. Meadowlands, MSG, Nassau, Rutgers, Princeton, Stoney Brook...that's like 200 shows at least.

[@trapezemusic]

Very informative video with great arial photography. My only wish is that you added the city/town of each facility. Many of us in the NYC metro area are not familiar with more than a few of these stadiums/arenas. Thanks for posting.

14:24 - 14:50: Fans of Wes Anderson's films might be familiar with Forest Hills Stadium. A few scenes for his 2001 THE ROYAL TENNANBAUMS were shot there. Probably the funniest is when Gene Hackman is driving around the stadium in a go-cart!

[@JBM425]

The NY Islanders actually left Nassau Coliseum in 2015 to play in Barclays Center. The layout for hockey was totally unsuitable, as it meant the scoreboard was actually not over center ice, and many fans from Long Island didn’t follow the team to Brooklyn. The Islanders returned to Nassau Coliseum to split their home games between there and Barclays Center in 2018. The Islanders quit Barclays for good in the 2020-21 season while the new UBS Arena at nearby Belmont Park was finished.

Been waiting for this, which is somewhat ridiculous since I live here and I know what our stadiums, at least the big ones, look like already. It's a little like excitedly opening your school yearbook to look for your own picture. Anyway, here we go... (Edit: I just want to point out the Harlem River is not man-made as a whole. Only the very northern part of it where it meets the Hudson River, adjacent to Columbia's Wien Stadium and also known by its Dutch name Spuyten Duyvil, was rerouted in the 19th century to make it friendlier to shipping. The legal boundaries of Manhattan were defined when the Harlem River still followed its natural course in that area, so there is a small area of what now appears to be the Bronx because it's now on the opposite side of the river, called Marble Hill, that is legally part of Manhattan)

[@zienatasilviestu4698]

Always cool to see how I've been to some of the stadiums while also learning more about a few I wasn't aware of before

[@josetabora4444]

The New Jersey Jackals’ new home after they moved out of Yogi Berra Stadium is actually Hinchliffe Stadium. The stadium has gone through extensive renovations and like Yogi Berra will also feature a small museum this time about the history of Hinchliffe. In the same structure will house a concession area and a few other possible goodies. I’m glad that they revived an old stadium that was falling apart and would almost become a relic of history, but the Jackals and the people of Paterson were able to save it. The only complaint I’ll make is that the stadium doesn’t really look like it would be suitable for baseball, but however they can make it work.
