*UPDATE* on 8 Endangered Stadiums in America

Discussing endangered stadiums in America

[@jeffisontheair]

Maybe I’m getting old but I’m having a hard time understanding why stadiums built in the 90s need to be replaced.

[@spagbol525]

Most don't, but some are horrifically bad

[@corneliustalmadge6711]

Had Rice stadium been built on campus at A&M or Texas it would be the best stadium in college football. It’s an old neglected dump but there’s not a bad seat in the building.

[@jordanking6939]

Actually those programs would renovate the stadium to keep it a Power 5 caliber experience.

[@corneliustalmadge6711]

Exactly. Rice stadium was purpose built for football and has great sight lines. It’s just a half a billion dollars worth of upgrades short.

[@busaf95]

They should demo the two upper decks in stages and then dress up the grounds above the lower bowl.

[@Jamessmith-xk3fh]

Well Rice use to be in a better conference when they built the stadium but then there conference broke up and they got left in the G5 and nothing has been done to Rice Stadium

[@MrPhilbert1981]

Rice Stadium not only had a super bowl but also was the location of the JFK speech with the moonshot.

[@ahhculdee]

It should be a historical site for that reason

[@billcook4768]

Rice stadium was also the site of one of the great speeches in American history. “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard” - JFK.

[@kristoferscott3677]

Oakland Coliseum is actually in the bad part of Oakland since the area has high crime and most businesses have left the area.

[@neneshubby]

It’s still a very valuable piece of property and property is power, always has been and always will be.

[@billcook4768]

But it does have great access, which always means potential.

Tropicana Field or Jerry Reinsdorf Park. Jerry Reinsdorf threatened to moving Tampa Bay for a new stadium in Chicago. The Chicago and Mayor Daley panicked to build a stadium and Tampa Bay rushed to build a stadium and ultimately got screwed over. Guaranteed Rate Field has been remodeled twice. The first remodel took away about a 10 rows because it was steep and fans always complained about a fear of falling in those top 8 to 10 rows.and The second one was an outfield makeover about 5 years ago.

Review of the Rogers Centre???

[@BreakfastCat27]

Why are you so adamant that the Angels will move out of Anaheim? Orange County is their fanbase's identity, and they continue to draw well even despite not being good. They could very easily build a new stadium in the parking lot of the current one. Moving out of OC would be a terrible idea.

[@jeffgrubin1874]

I can't stand the Los Angeles Angels name. Go back to calling them the Anaheim Angels. Or even California Angels would be cool.

[@PHXNKVHXLIC]

I actually was skeptical of your claim at first but after looking into it, you’re right. Even before Ohtani, Angels are always top 5 in attendance in the AL. Even their worst season record wise, they were 3rd in the AL. So the Angels don’t need to move out of town at all, just stop using LA as their namesake.

[@BreakfastCat27]

On Rice Stadium - yeah, that hasn't been a good match for Rice since the 60's (even though a Super Bowl was played there). I'm a Houston fan, and the story with them was that Rice Stadium was actually supposed to be built for Rice and UH. That story and use might have made sense if it wasn't built on the Rice campus and the two Universities didn't squabble (as they inevitably would have and did). Speaking of problematic stadiums in Houston, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Astrodome, which is poster child of an Endangered Stadium. Harris County simply cannot get its act together on what to do with that thing at all. It's an embarrassment.

[@northdakotagamer]

The idea of an NFL without Soldier Field is terrible and I hate the Bears

[@ljevers]

I watch a ton of your videos, Rice seems to come up consistently I am no Rice fan, but I've been to a few games there, and I don't see the problems that you bring up with the stadium, the problem is the product that the college is putting on the field If the stadium is so bad, why do they keep landing UFL/USFL contract

[@spacedisco612]

Out of 8 teams in the XFL, 1 plays in a current NFL stadium, it being in the XFL means it's big and out dated. One team plays in a former MLB stadium, one a current MLS stadium, Alamo Dome, Citrisbowl, the Ram's old dome in StL, pretty low level stadiums

[@tomclay2948]

[@markjlew]

Where is the money going to come from, when you suggest renovating or building a new stadium for Rice University. It's one of the smallest schools in FCS college football. And the bloated cost in building a new stadium is absurd. Rice is first and formost an academic school, not an sports factory like Texas, T A&M, or even Baylor. And they fit tgeir niche nicely

[@SantaDog81]

I thought Roots SC were going to move into the Oakland Coliseum.

[@Fordguy02]

Um the MLS stadium in Chicago is soldier field

[@guyfaux3978]

They rent it. Their practice field, which they own and in turn rent out to the NWSL team, is in Bridgeview. A cut-down Soldier Field (if the Bears stadium isn't built next door), looking something like Snapdragon Stadium, would be likely to be the MLS stadium in years to come.

[@rangerboy7877]

just a few different opinions mr. ginger. the oakland coliseum is not in a good part of town you risk your life just driving to a game. the coliseum will not be torn down quickly, oakland cant afford it. the stadium will just rot like the places you see that hosted the olympics years ago. finally no other pro sports team is ever going to move to orlando. certainly not football or baseball.

[@christopherrobinmarriott7218]

I like rices stadium. I am so sick of people complaining that we need all these new cookie cutter stadiums. It’s freaking football. Supposed to be cold and sometimes wet. It’s not soccer. It’s not a wimp sport. It’s a sport about Smash Mouth and sitting on metal bleachers. And eating a hotdog. Not tofu or sushi…or tofu sushi. I’m a big believer in old visually distinct stadiums. With no roofs. Roofs are for soccer fans

[@ronpeacock9939]

Sadly, the Trop is the worst stadium in the MLB.. you may dislike the coliseum.. but it's still better than that toilet in Tampa... Angels stadium... well, if SoFi is anything to go by.. they won't get public money for a new one in southern Cali... and much of Cali is difficult to build in with all of their regulations. The Chi-Sox.. that stadium is fairly new (when compared to Wrigley and Fenway.. VERY NEW).. They are only whining to just hear themselves whining.. and relocation would hurt that team more than just shutting up and playing baseball. Rice.. it's college football.. the colleges have to build them themselves and they can't threaten to move... you have a better chance of the Oakland Triple-A's staying in Oakland then them getting a new one soon.

[@billcook4768]

As far as stadiums go, the Trop is fine. Not amazing or anything, but good enough. Except the location.
