My father and I attended three Seahawks games: one in the Kingdome, and two at Husky Stadium. Unfortunately I never got to go to Lumen Field with my dad, who sadly passed away from cancer in 2004. I’ll never forget being out in the exposed area while Shaun Alexander ran for 265 on the Raiders with my dad and best friend. Love ya, dad.
Great memories to have. I have memories of going to games with my stepfather. A couple of them in the Dome, two at Lumen (then known as CenturyLink). My stepfather passed in 2020. Keep those memories and treasure them.
Shea Stadium was finished in 1964. The stadium was booked up in 1973 and 1974 which is why the Giants played at Yale Bowl. In fact, my father went to one of the games
funny how this is the teams who moved video sort of and you're the Hartford Whalers
Crazy to think an NFL team played at the Yale bowl, but it was the 70s. Stadiums weren't that fancy yet overall
Isn’t Five Points a Mets fan? Should know this lol
Jets couldn’t play a home game until the Mets season was over. After litigation they had a September home game in 1977 at Giants Stadium and 1978 at Shea.
Giants players hated playing at the Yale Bowl and so did many of the fans with season tickets who didn’t want to travel.
The Jets have never had their own home.
TCF won’t be forgettable to me. That is the last Vikings game I have been to to this date. Have not been to US bank yet. Yes I was at the wild card game and he kicked the ball right at me. I was not sitting behind the goalposts……
I’m in the orange on the top of the screen 2:35
That's a sad and funny story
I know you had to be cold as shit
I went to a few very memorable games there. Loved it honestly and I'll have great, and also terrible memories. You NEED to make a trip to US Bank this season man, it's fucking amazing. Been to 4 games there so far.
Didn't Bud Grant lead the skol chant shirtless in 0 degree weather before that wild card game?
Seahawks also played 3 home games at Husky Stadium in 1994 after the ceiling tiles at The Kingdome fell and needed to be replaced.
And while Husky Stadium was being rebuilt, UW played at CenturyLink.
i attended at least one of those games. Hawks were pretty bad at the time; getting a 'good' seat at Husky Stadium was a breeze, lol.
Was there for the first preseason game vs Tampa Bay. Until the 2nd quarter, fan were cheering for an halftime act practicing on the east field, a frisbee dog!
Bad got worse in the regular season when the Chargers started at their 1 and scored on a 99yd pass.
Been to two Seahawks games there. Sat in the nosebleed section, Row TT or something like that. Way high up.
I never knew that about the Panthers logo. That’s awesome
It took Tom Brady until 2010 to play a game in Chicago because his first road trip at the Bears was in 2002 when they played in Memorial Stadium at U Illinois. He also never played a road game at his hometown stadium of Candlestick Park bc the last Patriots road games at SF was in 2008 when he had a torn ACL and in 2016 when they had moved to Santa Clara
Interesting random nfl facts 👍
Another fun fact: Tom Brady has only played the Cardinals twice and is 1-1 against them, W in 2004 and L in 2012. He didn’t play them in 2008 because of the ACL injury and he also missed playing them in 2016 because of the deflategate suspension.
@@ErikCB912 Believe it or not, Tom Brady has played in more Super Bowls at the Cardinals' stadium than regular season games at Arizona.
Left off the Cowboys playing at the Cotton Bowl for over a decade. Fun fact, the Cowboys playing at the Cotton Bowl until ‘71 is the only time the Dallas Cowboys actually played in Dallas proper.
Fun Fact: the Seahawks' stint in Husky Stadium marked the inauguration of Field Turf as an NFL playing surface.
Well, the introduction of Field Turf is not a positive. Football should be played on grass.
@@almostfm But at least its not as bad as AstroTurf.
FieldTurf ain't to bad, considering it's a much better playing surface then AstroTurf.
I'm kinda surprised Stanford Stadium didn't make the list, especially considering the 49ers had to play a game there after the Loma Prieta earthquake, and it actually hosted a Super Bowl (coincidentally having the 49ers play and win that game)
My dad was at the first Carolina Panther and I believe (if I remember correctly) they let Clemson students in for free at the time. Him being a freshman or sophomore, he gladly took that deal.
Good way to help build a fan base.
Rogers Centre in Toronto hosted the Bills a few times in the 2000s. I used to work there (only a couple years ago so not while that was going on) and someone told me tailgating laws of all things was a big reason the arrangement didn’t work all that well
And if and when Toronto finally gets an NFL Team. The Rogers Centre will probably be used a temporary home until a permanent stadium in Toronto can be built.
@YEGGERtalk And that was largely done so they could install new improved artificial turf that doesn't need to be rolled up between home stands. Couple that with the rigging out of an all dirt infield from a few years ago, and it's clear they're now treating it as a ballpark first, not a giant multipurpose arena. Which is good.
Roger's center wasn't used as a temporary site for the Bills.
Buffalo Bills ownership played one home game there for a few seasons to promote and expand the popularity of team into Southrn Ontario.
They also played at Ford Field for a game after a blizzard here.
@Kyle Chang I'm not sure that would be the case. Rogers Centre is undergoing major renovations that are essentially making it a baseball only stadium. I imagine if Toronto ever gets an NFL team, they would have to drastically expand BMO Field or build a new stadium.
Allow me to explain the hate Memphis has, not just for the Titans, but for the entire NFL. Memphis was one of the five finalists for the 2 expansion franchises awarded in 1993. They had serious ownership clout, with a former USFL owner, Fortune 500 CEO, hedge fund manager, and Elvis Presley Enterprises among the ownership group of 100% Memphis natives and tens of thousands of season ticket deposits. The other 4 cities were Jacksonville, Charlotte, Baltimore, and St. Louis. By 1996, only one of the 5 did not have a team, Memphis. This was the second time Memphis had been spurned by the NFL, the first being in 1974 when they lost out to Seattle and Tampa in a group that included Honolulu and Phoenix despite a similarly strong ownership group and over 40,000 season ticket deposits. Also in 1993, Bud Adams announced he was going to move the Oilers from Houston if they didn’t get a new stadium using public money. Memphis had just renovated the Liberty Bowl in 1987 for just such an occasion. Adams met Nashville mayor Phil Bredesen at a preseason game in Knoxville, TN, talked him into putting up half the money for construction, then skipped past Memphis entirely and committed to moving the team to the significantly smaller city. The two metro areas were of similar size at the time. Since, Nashville metro has nearly doubled in size while Memphis metro has grown by 25%. Adams assumed that Memphis would simply support the Oilers, even if they only stayed in the city for a couple years. However, the fans stayed away in droves, as a final FU to Adams for the snub, the expansion process that spurned the city for 25 years, the league that allowed both to happen, and Nashville, who had literally stolen its future.
Would love to see Memphis in the USFL or XFL again.
Super informative, I never knew all of that, thanks for taking the time to type it all up.
Any other city giving Bud Adams the FU is always good in my book
Memphis likes mostly the New Orleans Saints or Dallas Cowboys. I’m from Nashville and didn’t care to get a team. F that city. I love watching the Titans choke like always.
@@boogitybear2283 Lot of Steelers fans here too.
The Rams when they were in Cleveland played at Shaw Stadium for 3 of their 4 home games in 1938. It is used today as the field for Shaw high school in East Cleveland and if you have ever played their good luck. Field conditions are terrible as up until a 7 million dollar renovation in 2021 the grass felt dead and was full of rocks. The stands were crumbling. The worst part of the stadium was the North endzone to where if you had a good enough boot you could kick the ball over the concrete wall into the neighboring community. There was a door to go through to retrieve the ball but as a visitor it was better to let a home player or official to get the ball as you did not know what was waiting on the other side of the wall.
FPV, trust me when I say no one in Baltimore ever forgot Memorial Stadium. In fact the "Time will not dim the glory of their deeds" memorial still exists, between Oriole Park and M&T Bank Stadiums.
I remember TCF. I finally had a weekend off from work, and because the Vikings game wasn't played, I got to watch the Packers embarrass themselves that Sunday instead. Plus, I live in Northern Wisconsin, and I remember fighting with management who wanted me to come in to cover someone else when we had gotten 28 inches of snow or more. I don't miss working at that place ...
San Francisco had to play in Arizona cause of Covid issues and the chargers played at Sun devil stadium due to wildfires in San Diego
Those were already NFL stadiums.
Have you thought about doing the worst NHL arenas all time? I think it would be interesting to see how Arizona’s ASU arena would compare to them
Curious where the Greensboro Coliseum would wind up
I excited for the new ASU arena since the atmosphere would be great. Don’t let size fool you.
Barclays center top tier
Yeetus I want to have optimism for the ASU arena but it honestly feels like management sandbagging the team to try to get them to move similar to what the A’s are doing
The Cow Palace in Daly City has to be one of the worst
So couple you may have forgotten. In 2003 and 2007 the chargers played in sun devil stadium on mnf Oct 27, 2003 and again in 2007. Another was the move of the SF 49ers to Glendale for home games in 2020.ironically the 49ers beat the cards in the battle of home turf in week 16 .
Think he didn’t count Stadiums that used to be stadiums for other NFL teams.
Well he did use the Baltimore colts. I digress.
The Cincinnati Bengals played their first two seasons at the University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium prior to the opening of riverfront stadium in 1970
Yes there forgot to add them
The Bengals were then in the AFL, so maybe that's why their stint at Nippert wasn't mentioned.
Any thoughts on doing a video about Camping World Stadium? A long, troubled history and arguably more disliked than the Trop.
I remember the expansion and renovation was why Tinker Field was demolished
Milwaukee country stadium should be on here
Especially since it was actually THE reason why Lambeau Field was built in the first place; The NFL threatened to move the Packers to Milwaukee full time unless a new stadium to replace the old and obsolete City Stadium was built.
The niners played at Stanford stadium for a game after the 1989 earthquake and also the Raiders played at Cal’s memorial stadium in 1973 for 1 game.
I think the Raiders playing at Cal had to do with the A’s playing October baseball
An NFL team sharing a stadium with an MLB team lasted until 2019, the Raiders final season in Oakland
@@mjwatts1983 Yep, all 4 of the A's home games in the 1973 series were on weekends. Probably one of those weeks, the Raiders were on the road, but the other one they had to relocate to Cal. Good news was that the Univ. of California was reachable by BART (as was the Coliseum of course)
Qualcomm is probably the most forgettable stadium in nfl history. No interesting qualities. No specific charm. Hell the soccer stadium the chargers stayed at for a few seasons is more remarkable than Qualcomm
My Bucs won their first Superbowl there. 🤙🏻
And the Padres sucked there too
Hey it was the nicest looking multi purpose stadium, And an icon of the mission Valley area
Yet hosted 3 Super Bowls lmao
@@tleoipl37 nfl the same mfs that think New Orleans is special lol
Keep it up, Five! Stadium/arena lists never gets old
Minnesota wants to forget their home before moving into US bank
Cause if that missed field goal 😂
Less go another FPV vid. Screw those who judge you for doing Stadium vids. I think it's fascinating.
they are pretty good. he has some small mistakes (names, fogetting dates...) but it is pretty good
Very good video. I was glad you didn’t overlook the Yale Bowl. One correction though: the University of Illinois is in Champaign, not Champagne.
Another one that could be on here: the Packers used to play some of their home games in Milwaukee County Stadium. (And, according to Wikipedia, other venues in Milwaukee, including Borchert Field, the Wisconsin State Fair Park, and Marquette Stadium.)
Also, there's the infamous NFL Playoff game of 1932 between the Bears and the Portsmouth Spartans played on an 80-yard dirt field inside Chicago Stadium (the old Bulls and Blackhawks arena). And this is really wild, also from Wikipedia: "Every time a team crossed the 10-yard line, the ball was moved back 20 yards to allow for the shortened field."
The Packers had multiple games a season in Milwaukee for a long time... Generally their home game against the Vikings was there. Lambeau was small and not really good at the time. It was very much improved since the 1990's, and the Packers stopped hosting games in Milwaukee in 1994.
The Bears vs Spartans game was the first ever playoff game. The NFL had a round robin system at the time with no other criteria in the case of a tie. Whomever had more wins, got the title. But that year #1 and #2 were tied, so... voila
I was thinking about that one. Also if the XFL had not folded it was believed the Chicago Enforcers would have moved to Milwaukee and played their games at State Fair Park.
I can confirm that the city of Memphis hated the Oilers. Anyone older than 30 can remember that Memphis was in the bidding for an NFL team for a couple of decades and nearly got a team when Jacksonville and Carolina came in the league. The fact that we got a team for a year and then it was going to Nashville, of all cities, was just too much. Many people outside of Tennessee don't realize the hatred between those two cities. I've lived in other states and I've seen nothing like it between cities. I've seen colleges who hate a rival, but not an actual City. So knowing that this was actually Nashville's team, of course no one wanted to go to the games. If we had thought there was any chance the team may stay, the games would have been sold out. It was after 20 years of trying to get a team that Nashville swoops in and gets one was just too much. It didn't help that the oilers were horrible either. The last game against Pittsburgh I remember there were more Pittsburgh fans there than people rooting for the oilers. That was the final nail in the coffin for the move to Vanderbilt stadium. If you weren't from Memphis I don't think you can understand why we hated that team so much
If it is any comfort the basis of the international time zones are based upon increments of 15 degrees of longitude. The Central Standard time zone is based upon 90 degrees west of Greenwich England. 90 degrees runs through Memphis and just misses Graceland. So when you are on Central Time it should really be called Elvis Time Zone.
@@DrWhoHarvey I will start calling it Elvis time zone then 😂
Husky Stadium was actually the home for the Seahawks in 2000 and 2001 following the demolition of the Kingdome, as well as housing them for three games in 1994 after ceiling tiles fell during the Mariners’ season. They played a total of 19 games there between 1994, 2000, and 2001 before moving into Seahawks Stadium (now Lumen Field) in 2002, which also coincided with their move from the AFC West to the NFC West.
yes..The Seahawks were the one team that switched conferences in the 2002 realignment..An old AFC West rivalry was reignited in Super Bowl XLVIII (DEN vs. SEA)..
The Seahawks final game at the Kingdome was Dan Marino’s final NFL win
And then the Dolphins got pulverized by the Jaguars 62-7 in the divisional round the following week
Just a quick correction: the location of the Fighting Illini's stadium is spelled Champaign instead of like the fancy beverage.
You are so inspiring. I made videos about my favorite NFL and NHL arenas/Stadiums but your knowledge about all stadiums is impressive. Keep up the great work.
The Rams played some early home games at Busch Stadium in 1995 while the new dome stadium was being completed.
But the St. Louis football Cardinals also played at Busch for 22 seasons. Just so you are aware of it.
I believe the final game was against the 49ers where Ken Norton Jr did some body work on the field goal padding
49ers on the sideline: Different city, same old Rams. No, same old sorry ass Rams!
Still waiting for former NHL arenas
No one cares about hockey and if they do it’s for like 2 weeks during the playoffs
You calling it "Bird Killer Stadium" sold me on this channel, subbed.
The Patriots also played at Fenway and Nickerson Field, which was originally Braves Field and is now home of Boston University’s soccer team
Frank Youell Field in Oakland was a temp home for the Raiders between 1962-1965 while the Oakland Coliseum was being built.
I saw the Panthers play at Death Valley. Thanks for showing Kinnick East Illinois and Kinnick North Minnesota
I actually went to a game at DHSP/Stubhub Center in 2019 I think,
It was Texans vs Chargers,
Me and my family actually got into some sort of Premium Club before the game, and we got to watch the Chargers team walk by, and I even got a Handshake from Kyzir White.
It was quite a fun game, especially when a fan ran in the field,
Which they did not show you on TV unfortunately.
It was a great experience that I will remember for awhile,
UNLIKE most of the Stadiums on this list!
Very interesting, and yes, I had forgotten many of these venues.
Chargers should play at a soccer stadium, because it was the closest they ever got to selling out games. Well, as long as you don’t count 90% of the crowd being fans of the opposing team.
It was like a slap in the face for Galaxy fans who won 3 MLS Cups when they had Donovan Keane and of course Beckham
@@ademirsegura6307 yeah, I can see that lol
The Steelers played in Forbes Field for the first 30 years of their existence, then in Pitt Stadium before Three Rivers was built. They also played a couple of exhibition / preseason games at Mountaineer Field in West Virginia.
I've visited two "inflato-dome" stadiums: the Metrodome and the Dakota Dome at the University of South Dakota. The roof collapse at the Metrodome was pretty much the death knell for inflatable-roof stadiums, as the Dakota Dome and the UNI-Dome at the University of Northern Iowa now have solid roofs (rooves,...whatever). :D
The inflatable domes are still used for indoor soccer fields.
Interesting stuff, it's amazing what some teams go through just to be able to play on Sunday's. Peace!
St. Louis Rams played 4 games in Busch Stadium in 1995 before moving into the trans World Dome.
Yes but that was the cardinals home stadium for decades
Oh wait he included memorial stadium that’s valid
I saw a preseason game between Atlanta and Baltimore in 1982 at Sun Devil Stadium. NFL used to play quite a few preseason games on college campuses.
Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, MD: The worlds largest outdoor Insane Asylum.
Section 34, Will Bill Hagy, etc...
@@RickinBaltimore Absolutely!
4:16 I actually never knew this
As a kid I went to a 74 preseason game at the Yale Bowl....
Got to remember bleacher seats were still a norm at football stadiums back then
At least they were at Scheafer Stadium in Foxborough... Talk about the all time worst stadium ever ... The original FedEx Field.... 30 miles outside of Boston. Built for 6.5 million in the early 70s, the 4 corners of the stadium were open, turning it into a wind tunnel. Seemed like the coldest, windy-est place in New England outside of Mt. Washington
Art Modell didn't move the Browns in '97--its was '96 (after the conclusion of the '95 season).
LOL I went to a Raiders @ Chargers game at Dignity Health and it was FULL of Silver & Black. Cheapest Raider game I'll ever go to in my lifetime, probably (yes, even cheaper than the Coliseum ahaha).
If the University of Washington would have been willing to share Husky Field in 1960,Seattle could have joined the AFL.
If NY Giants played at Yale Bowl today, there would be MASSIVE traffic...but would help CT's financial woes with all the taxes from revenue.
I wish Sun Devil stadium made this list, but it shouldn't. The Cardinals moved to Phoenix in 1988 after the city of phoenix told them that a multi purpose downtown stadium would be built for them. They were only supposed to be at sun devil stadium for 2-3 seasons. But because of the savings and loan crisis in the late 1980s, the Cardinals were forced to play in their temporary home for 19 years until a new stadium in Glendale was built for them in 2006. Lol
Love the closing banner! 👍
When the Rams went to St. Louis, they played their first few home games in Busch Stadium, until the TWA dome opened.
Yeah, but please remember the St. Louis football Cardinals also played at Busch Stadium from 66-87.
Husky Stadium actually hosted the Seahawks twice. The first time was in 1994 for four games because of structural problems with the Kingdome's roof (Tony Martin actually caught a 99-yard TD pass from Stan Humphries there for the Chargers in one game). Then came the 2000-2001 stint while the new stadium was built.
You forgot to mention the Cincinnati Bengals! Their first home was Nippert Stadium before moving to Riverfront Stadium and then to Paul Brown Stadium.
I know it wasn't short lived but the Arizona Cardinals played at Sun Devil Stadium for about two decades before getting their own stadium. Lots of Jake Plummer highlights from his time there.
It was a nice gesture for the Panthers to play their first season in SC while BOA was being built, as it demonstrated that they would be a regional team and not a "Charlotte" team
While it wasn't a permanent home, the Buffalo Bills, for some weird reason, played a few games at what is now called Rogers Centre in Toronto between 2007 and 2013. It was some special "Toronto" series they had during that time. I'm not sure if it was an effort to try and relocate the team to the other side of Lake Ontario, but obviously that has since been discontinued.
Husky Stadium actually hosted the Seahawks for two Preseason games and three regular season games in 1994 after four ceiling tiles of the Kingdome's roof collapsed. Husky Stadium also hosted the Seahawks for both the 2000 & 2001 seasons before they moved to what's now called Lumen Field.
My Dad used to mention seeing Keyzar(I'm guessing at the spelling)Stadium back in the 1950s when he was in the Canadian Navy. He would point it out whenever DIRTY HARRY came on tv. You can see a Raiders pennant on a wall or a locker in one scene. Did the Niners share the place with the Raiders? I looked it up on Wikipedia but am too lazy to look again. lol. That old Harvard stadium(Is it Harvard Stadium?) is beautiful. Great stuff. Thanks.
Kezar Stadium (no y) was the longtime home of the Niners before they joined the Giants at Candlestick in 1971, 11 years after the Stick had opened. During their first year in 1960 the Raiders did play at Kezar, and then during their second they played at a Candlestick (which hadn't been expanded for football yet) before a temporary home in Oakland itself was built. That was a barebones place called Frank Youell Field, which they played in for three seasons while the Coliseum was built.
@@davezanko9051 Thanks. You know your stuff.
Baltimore Memorial Stadium has since turned into a youth field for football and baseball. The dimensions of the field are exact as the stadium.
I've lived in the vicinity of Harvard Stadium for a decade and I cannot imagine having an NFL game there. Normal Sunday traffic there is a nightmare, there's not much parking and I don't think there are any concessions, either.
I will say about the chargers temporary digs, the venue was so small (comparatively to most stadiums) that every seat was great. I sat in the endzone during a preseason game against the saints, it was awesome. But were I an actual fan trying to get season tickets there? Nah
Nice. If you want to get "old school", the Houston Oilers started out at Jeppessen Stadium, a high school field where the Oilers won two AFL titles. Then they moved to Rice Stadium which was, you guessed it, a college stadium. They didn't move to the Astrodome until 1968 because Bud Adams and Astros owner Roy Hofheinz had a battle over the rent. Ironically, Rice Stadium hosted a Super Bowl (SB8) while the Astrodome never did because the seating capacity was considered too small.
That is old school and I think it's interesting.
Hey thank you.
The Bears also played at Northwestern's football field for one game in 1970 because of the then-new NFL requirement that each team's stadium must seat 50,000 fans. The Cubs also didn't want them using Wrigley Field (their previous home) because they didn't want their stadium to be converted to a football field while they were still in playoff contention. After that one game, the Bears played the rest of their home games for the year at Wrigley, then moved to Soldier Field.
Cool that's interesting thank you.
*Champaign
Two more notes:
1. An acquaintance who attend U of I at the time, said that Bears season tickets that season were very similar to Illini season tickets which would have been a killer discount
2. The University of Illinois is not that close to Chicago. Memorial Stadium is 126 miles from Soldier Field, so the Bears really had no home games that season.
Oh man and the Chicago Fire were in Naperville Illinois at Cardinal Stadium during the 02-03 seasons and that was 28 miles west of Chicago
Forgot about candlestick so many memories there go niners
No one forgets that the Stick was an NFL stadium. This video is about temporary stadiums that some might forget about, not permanent homes with decades of history.
Cal Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium hosted Oakland Raiders games in 70’s. The Miami Dolphins undefeated streak was ended there.
Stanford Stadium hosted a Super Bowl and 49ers home games when candlestick was damaged from 1989 Earthquake.
LOL Marlboro ad @3:23
7:00 The then New Orleans Hornets also temporary relocated to Oklahoma City and played the Ford Center was one and half seasons.
Could also mention Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati. The Bengals played there in 1968-69 while Riverfront Stadium was under construction. Also, Rice Stadium in Houston was used for Super Bowl VIII instead of the Astrodome since it was too small to hold the game
I’m surprised Nippert stadium wasn’t on here for the first few seasons of the bengals
Have you thought about doing some obscure stadiums, like non power 5 stadiums, or college hockey rinks?
The Vikings did play in TCF Bank Stadium now Huntington Bank Stadium while waiting for US Bank Stadium in 2014 and 2015 seasons which in that time period which included the demolition of the Metrodome and the Vikings also used stadium back in 2010 due to large amounts snow causing the collapse the Teflon roof of the Metrodome. Memorial Stadium would have been likely used again once the bears moved out of solider field once their proposed Arlington Heights stadium is being built. The Bills could potentially play at Penn State University’s Beaver Stadium or across the border at Rogers Centre in Toronto during the construction of Buffalo Stadium during the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
No mention of Steelers playing between Forbes Field and Pitt stadium for like 20 years. Steelers season ticket holders were permitted to buy tickets for one venue of the other. Maybe as a giants fan, 5p will recall the photo of a bloody Y.A. Tittle (great name) kneeling at Pitt stadium after cracking his sternum and suffering a concussion on a pick 6
The 2005 saints played three games in San Antonio (Bills, Lions and Falcons) going 1-2…they went 0-4 in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. The only other two wins were on the road against the Panthers and Jets
Seahawks actually played at Husky Stadium in parts of 3 NFL seasons. 2000 and 2001 for two years while Seahawks Stadium/CenturyLink/Lumen Field was being built (in the video he says 1 season but it was 2).. and back in 1994 Husky Stadium hosted the seahawks for both home preseason games, and the first three regular season games of that year. That was thanks to a number of ceiling tiles which had fallen from the Kingdome roof before a Mariners game in July of that year. The NFL tried to lessen the blow to the Seahawks by scheduling only 3 'home' games of the regular season in the first few months.. which meant that Seattle didn't play a home regular season game in the Kingdome until WEEK TEN that year. 6 of the first 9 regular season games were on the road. By the time they had a real home game, it was November 6th and the team was already 3-5 on the season.. even after a 3-1 start. Those were dark days in Seahawks land.
Don't forget when the Jets played in the Polo Grounds as the Titans of New York. Sammy Baugh's comments on the experience are hilarious.
One of my great fakeouts was going to Kezar Stadium for the first time. In my head, it was the place that once hosted the 49ers and Raiders. What I did NOT know was that it was torn down and rebuilt when I was in high school. So when I got there, I was surprised to see a (mostly) track & field facility not much larger than a good-sized community college or prep stadium. Still a nice place, but not the legendary venue that Led Zeppelin once played.
Wasn’t that stadium notorious for how bad it was
As a Memphian who was born after the whole oilers fiasco, I can confirm that there is still plenty of hate for that team especially among the older population around here
They should change the name to Nashville Titans. Most of the state could careless about them especially West and East Tennessee.
Huntington Stadium was also the home of Minnesota United of MLS during their first 2 seasons in MLS before they moved to Allianz Field in 2019. As a soccer stadium it was decent unlike Yankee Stadium which is easily the worst stadium in MLS.
You forgot Dyche Stadium (now Ryan Field), which hosted one Chicago Bears game in 1970 due to an anticipated scheduling conflict with the Chicago Cubs that never actually occurred (this was the final season in which Wrigley Field hosted Bears home games).
Also, the Milwaukee Mile (yes, an auto racing venue) hosted a pre-Super Bowl-era NFL Championship game, although I don't remember the exact year.
1939, 27-0 win over the Giants
Packers played regular season games there from 1934-1951, then they used County Stadium until 1994
The final game the Packers played in Milwaukee was a 17-13 win over the Falcons where Brett Favre rushed for the game winning TD with about 10 seconds left. That Packers win kept them in the playoff hunt while knocking the Falcons out (blew another lead, huh… well, it was only 3 points this time).
Joe Buck was on the call for Fox (1st season for both him & the network) and has said that during a TD he urinated into a garbage can
Few more here: 1 gamers - Dyche Stadium (Ryan Field) Evanston, Chicago Bears in 1970 opener (baseball conflict). California Memorial Stadium, Berkeley for Oakland Raiders in 1973 (baseball conflict). Memorial Stadium, University of Minnesota for Vikings in 1969 (baseball conflict). Grant Field, Georgia Tech in Atlanta for Falcons in 1969 (baseball conflict). Stanford Stadium, Palo Alto for 49ers in 1989 (Candlestick earthquake damage). 2 games at DU Stadium in Mid 1960's, University of Denver for the Broncos. Municipal (JFK) Stadium, Philadelphia for Eagles 1950 playoff game (larger venue). Not in video - Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati was actually home for the Bengals first 2 seasons prior to Riverfront.
The Bills might be playing in Syracuse or somewhere else for a year or two when they get rid of Rich Stadium. They did have a temporary home for one game after a blizzard here in Detroit at Ford Field.
Baltimore also had USFL team, the Baltimore Stars that actually never played a game in Baltimore, all there games were played At Byrd Stadium in Collage Park. They went on too win USFL championship, coach by Jim Mora who ironically went to NFL to coach Baltimore former team, the colts in Indy. The Baltimore Stallions CFL team, who tried to take the name colts but were sued by the NFL, also went on to win the Grey Cup. So there were 4 different pro football teams in Baltimore (sort of) that have won championships. Just some fun facts
Husky Stadium also hosted the Seahawks for a few games in 1994 while the Kingdome roof was being repaired.
Personally, I'd love for the Chicago Bears to just be the Illinois Bears for a year or two while the Arlington Park stadium (hopefully) gets built. Maybe play a game at Northern Illinois, a game at U of I, and any other Illinois college that they fancy playing a game at. I just think it'd be cool.
0 percent chance that ever happens
Great Mayflower reference!
also a fun one. new orleans and green bay played in jacksonville TCAA stadium in week 1 2021
One thing about the Oilers move: Memphis had lost a bid for the Oilers, who were moving to Nashville. The NFL put the Oilers/Titans in Memphis, and said “Attend the games if you want us to consider you for a future NFL team”. Memphisians were not fooled; they knew they’d never get an NFL franchise with teams so close in Nashville and (then) St. Louis. So they actively boycotted the Oilers/Titans games in Memphis, and I don’t blame them.
It’s been floated around that the Bills might temporarily play at either Rogers in Toronto or PSU while they’re constructing the new stadium. That probably won’t be necessary though.
The then Boston Patriots also played at Fenway Park before Harvard and BC. My first NFL game as a kid was at Fenway vs. the Oilers. Dont remember the outcome.
Art Modell moved the Cleveland Browns to Baltimore after the conclusion of the 95 season, not the 97 season
Were you only mentioning regular season games? Because the Packers have played at Camp Randall Stadium but that was preseason
The Cincinnati Bengals played at University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium their inaugural year in 1968 till Riverfronts stadiums opening
Can’t believe memorial field was used as an nfl stadium, as a student at illinois I can’t believe driving like 3 hours out from chicago to what is essentially an island surrounded by corn to watch a game at old ass memorial stadium is something people repeatedly did
I was so glad I moved away from Champaign-Urbana weeks before the Bears came to town. The crowds for a crappy college team were bad enough, can't imagine what the Bear crowds were like.
@@sethrodgers5582 yeah I doubt there was enough parking at State Farm center and research park to help them back then. That’s not even mentioning people who would just go to the tailgates and then go watch the game at a downtown champagne bar or like Murphy’s. It’d be a pain in the ass to get out of Champaign as the roads aren’t built for a speedy exit and like 100,000 people leaving at once
Seems like Notre Dame would've been a better option
I remember going to the Bears-Lions game that year, probably the only good game there honestly.
@@jordanmorris4090 uillinois is by far a better team in terms of connection to the bears but the distance and conditions is just ridiculous
They actually had the Vikings play in Detroit when the dome collapsed, TCF stadium wasn’t ready then after that they played in TCF stadium and that was favres injured
