We showcase the stadium capitals in the world in the quest to find out which city has the best stadiums. Let us know what you think in the comments. Thanks for watching!
It's a smaller market so it doesn't get a ton of attention, but the Twin Cities has 6 different stadiums for each major American sports team. Their NFL, MLB and NHL stadiums are constantly ranked nationally in the top 10. They also have a new D1 college football stadium, a brand new MLS stadium, and a new minor league baseball stadium in downtown St. Paul. The only structure that's holding it back in their outdated NBA arena.
I worked in the Twin Cities a couple years ago. Got to go to 2 Twins games, a Wild game, and a Gophers football game. Those 3 stadiums were top notch. And, the Vikings and United stadiums look amazing from the outside. Definitely a great city to be a sports fan.
Honestly outdated is not how I'd describe Target Center, it was built in an era before private boxes were the focus and I can appreciate the look of the stadium being not full of luxury amenities and shiny new architecture. And that grass roof looks great on google maps.
NYC might not be on this list (because a third of the notable stadiums are in New Jersey) but the ones actually in the city are pretty good Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Madison Square Garden, and the Barclays Center for Major teams, plus places like MCU park for other pro teams
It's fair that NYC is not on this list, compared to other major metropolis, it is surprising the lack of major stadiums within its area, as the biggest gridiron stadium and the MLS Red Bull stadium are in New Jersey.
I love how you showed so many stadiums in London but still forgot so many like Brentford Community Stadium, The Den, The Breyer Group Stadium, Plough Lane, VBS Community stadium. There's probably more but the only ones I knew of were football stadiums/grounds.
Yeah, London has a ridiculous amount of stadiums, there’s also the O2 arena, velodrome and more, but there are so many 20,000 odd seater stadiums for football in London, not sure if he showed vicarage road or selhurst park, and like the ones you mentioned I wouldn’t blame him
stadium and arena are different. arenas are small the biggest mybe is 20000 and stadium are huge every city has arenas not for basketball tough for example england has many and it is for other indoor sports like netball or boxing so that does not count
yeah it's kinda tricky because in some of his other videos he specifically separates arenas from stadiums and being Wide World of Stadiums, he focuses more on the stadiums. But then in this video, he mentioned arenas in some cities (Moscow, Tokyo, Paris) but not others.
Love the Calgary shout out, and would agree with the tongue in cheekness. Sure we have a rodeo ground and a hockey stadium shaped like a Saddle, but we can't compete with any of the cities mentioned. Well done!
Hey! I'd like to thank you for the content mate:) I've long been a big fan of stadiums & stadium history, keep it up! Maybe you could even do a series on the history of unique stadiums? E.g. the evolution of Anfield? Or even the history of stadiums used by sports teams? E.g. Crystal Palace FC, why they're called Crystal Palace is because they used to play there KEEP IT UP!
Crystal Palace FC ...... were named after the building which was rebuilt on Upper Sydenham Heights after the Great Exhibition in 1851 originally sighted in Hyde Park. The original Amateur Club was formed in 1861 and was one of the founding clubs of the Football Association. The modern day professional club started in 1905. The area only became known as Crystal Palace after the building moved there. It burned down in 1936 and my Dad who as a young kid lived half a mile away, watched it burn down from his bedroom window. Oh and you had two of our stadiums in your list .......Selhurst Park and The Crystal Palace Athletics Stadium which was the sight of the original Crystal Palace Football Stadium (which also was the Pre WW1 venue of the FA Cup Final for about 20 years!!!) COYP!!!
Came from germany. Of course London... Wembley Historical, Tottenham Looks special... Stanford bridge, fullham, millwall Dan, Wimbledon. Only really worst is the library...
I know you are looking globally. But I’d put a plug in for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, especially if you consider college stadiums. The South Philly sports complex is amazing. Temple has a great basketball stadium. Then there’s the UPenn stadiums, St. Joe’s arena. And Pittsburgh’s baseball stadium is just beautiful.
I called London as victors before I even started the video. They have too many stadiums, and too many HIGH QUALITY stadiums within to be anything but #1. Here in Indianapolis, we have some damn good stadiums and arenas....(including arenas with a ton of tradition such as Hinkle Fieldhouse). Having said that, although I would have loved to see us on this list, that would be a damn difficult sell. Nice job, as always!
Melbourne beats London for total sporting crowd attendance figures. MCG and Docklands (Marvel) Stadium with MULTIPLE big games and multiple teams each week. AFL, Cricket 🏏, NRL, Rugby Union, Formula One, Basketball, Netball, Australian Open tennis 🎾 and more.
Nice fun overview :) But if you're doing Tokyo area stadiums, I wouldn't worry about Komazawa (64 Olympics era ground, well past its best) and I'd include - Saitama Stadium (60,000 capacity, home of the Urawa Refs and their MAD fans) - Yokohama International Stadium (65,000, blighted by a running track but notable for hosting but a football and rugby World Cup final) - Budokan (martial arts arena built for the 64 Olympics, compact indoor venue great for concerts) - If you want second-tier venues I suggest Mitsuzawa in Yokohama, compact football only stadium where Diego Maradona played in the Youth World Cup) If you go further out of town, Kashima Stadium is a compact 40,000 seat venue that rocks to the roar of the Kashima Antlers fans :)
Melbourne certainly deserves the rating. That City holds the global record for the highest attendances per head of population for all sports. Prior to the last renovation crowds of 110,000 were common. Also a piece of trivia. The MCG was the primary stadium for the 1956 Olympics where baseball was played as a demonstration sport. One game feturing the USA was played on the day of the Opening Ceremony. A near capacity crowd watched the game and hence an unofficial record of over 100,000 is credited but not official.
Pretty sure Melbourne is actually number one and beats London for total annual sporting crowd attendance figures. MCG and Docklands (Marvel) Stadium with MULTIPLE big games and multiple teams each week. AFL, Cricket 🏏, NRL, Rugby Union, Formula One, Basketball, Netball, Australian Open tennis 🎾 and more.
that’s hard to say. In Los Angeles, high schools schools have their own on campus stadiums and arena that are usually 2,000-5,000 in capacity. a lot of hgh schools have a stadium for football and track & field, stadium for baseball and arena for basketball/volleyball/badminton, etc. Also, community colleges have their own football/track&field stadiums, baseball stadium as well as tennis stadium, and arena. We have a lot of stadiums/arenas.
As for Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington(-Frisco), you left out Gerald J Ford Stadium (not named for the former US President Gerald R Ford) on the SMU campus in University Park (but it has a Dallas mailing address, because, well, reasons). Now if you wanted to stretch further and include the third NCAA D1-FBS program in the region, you could've added the recently opened Apogee Stadium on the University of North Texas campus in Denton. Not to mention two massive high school stadiums in Allen and McKinney.
@@29Texan Don’t blame you... I’m not necessarily a TCU fan but I work event staff at Amon Carter Stadium and other TCU venues. But, I will say that Ford Stadium at SMU is pretty spare and it hasn’t really aged well for having been built in 2000.
Seattle doesnt have a bunch but all 4 are one of the best for each sport / league they are used for. Husky stadium is easy top 5 for college football. Seahawks stadium is easy top 5 for NFL. T-Mobile stadium was number one for baseball when it opened and is still top 5 to 10. And the completely renovated arena for the new NHL team the Seattle Kraken will be one of the best hockey / basketball arena's to top it off. Even the smaller facilities where the minor league hockey and lingerie football teams play are pretty nice too!
The Stampede Grandstand in Calgary, AB. Canada is used for the Rodeo, Chuckwagon Races & the Grandstand Show. Also it can be used for Monster Truck Events.
I think cause so many people lump Arlington in with Dallas, that they forget just how big they actually are. I'm from Columbus and a lot of people don't realize that Arlington is its own city
The Ruhrgebiet area. Westfalenstadion, the biggest Stadium in Germany and loudest in Europe, right next to it the Stadion Rote Erde, another 30 km next to it a giant Gym aka the Hall of shame (Veltins Arena), and 2 solid stadiums in Bochum and Essen
Melbourne beats London for total sporting crowd attendance figures. MCG and Docklands (Marvel) Stadium with MULTIPLE big games and multiple teams each week. AFL, Cricket 🏏, NRL, Rugby Union, Formula One, Basketball, Netball, Australian Open tennis 🎾 and more.
This is completely subjective. In my opinion, I give it to the quad cities. Wonderful facilities. Beautiful ballpark. Modern Woodman is my favorite minor league park. I like how it's located on the Mississippi under a bridge that overlooks the field of play and the amenities are fantastic. Very welcoming environment.
if u counted Fort Worth, Arlington and fresco for Dallas, u might as well count all metropolitan areas in all cities. in Sao Paulo there is the anacleto Campanella, Jayme cintra in jundiai, Santo Andre's stadium, vila Belmiro and so on. in London there is the den, the hive, plough lane, Brentford community stadium, dagenham stadium and Brisbane road. forgot about nyc, Berlin, munchen, Milan, Madrid, Lisbon, Montevideo, Santiago, lima
Toronto ! I loved visiting Rogers Centre (I think its one of the better MLB stadiums -I've personally been to 10), Scotiabank Arena is also really nice !! I only saw it from the outside, but it ranked in the top 10 MLS stadiums, BMO field looked lovely, and from google Aviva Centre looked cool too. Smaller market area : Omaha, NE - Might sound a bit crazy, but The CHI Health Center hosts the U.S Olympic swim trials, has hosted U.S skating trials, NCAA wrestling, the 2015 FIVB Volley ball World Grand Prix, and NCAA Volleyball Championships almost every other year. The baseball stadium hosts the College World Series every year at T.D Ameritrade park. There is a fantastic soccer stadium for Creighton at Morrison stadium, DJ Sokol arena looks nice for college volleyball, Baxter Arena is set to host the USA Curling team trials again (previously hosted 2017) and hosted the Curling Grand Prix and UNO Mavericks hockey. Werner Park hosts the semi-pro baseball team, and semi-pro soccer team. Finally there's Ralston Arena which has the Omaha Lancers (semi pro ??) hockey, UNO basketball (I think also has hosted a few rounds of March Madness ??), Roller Derby playoffs, and several semi-pro football teams (these leagues usually fold). I don't know where but the FEI has hosted the Equestrian World Championships in Omaha somewhere, and will host again in 2023. It has several more stadiums but I didn't feel they were big enough. TL;DR --> It hosts international events (FIVB, FEI), it hosts some of the biggest National events (US Olympic Swim, Curling, and Ice Skating as well as the CWS, Volleyball Finals regularly), and several Colleges.
@@brennanritter2930 never visited canada but i know for a fact that ur stadiums are bad. u have good arenas but not great stadiums. 3 good stadiums are not enough lets say if your country would want to host the world cup u would at least need 10 high class ones located in different cities.
@@igorvyacheslavtherussianmu3142 I'm not Canadian hahaha. Canada would be able to provide great stadiums and arenas in several different cities though. Also, I don't think he's exactly differentiating being stadium and arena ... or maybe that was a different video of his I watched, I binged a lot.
if you do an updated video of this, or just do a part 3, 4, 5... you should consider Seattle. NFL/MLS stadium, MLB stadium, college football stadium all with beautiful views. tacoma dome got recently renovated. new NHL arena finishing up an entire rebuild, and that arena is right next to a historic city stadium that has hosted football, soccer, the worlds fair, athletics, and boat racing. yes, boat racing.
Me before watching this video: "lol, Calgary has such shitty stadiums, we never get featured in these videos..." Me at 8:40: "Wait a second, did I hear what I thought I heard?" Me at the end of the video: "Holy shit, I can't believe we got first place!"
Not technically IN Calgary, but just south of the city is Spruce Meadows - a longstanding horsejumping venue, which now also is home to a professional soccer club. That's right, Cavalry FC's pitch is shared with equestrian athletes.
Manchester has: Velodrome Belle Vue Speedway Athletic stadium Old Trafford Cricket Altrincham Ice Hocky AJ Bell rugby union/ league Old Trafford & Eastlands football No mention ☹️
What about the Chicago metro area? Soldier Field, Wrigley, Guaranteed Rate Field, SeatGeek Stadium, United Center, Allstate Arena, Impact field, Ryan field
Well Sydney has a lot more stadiums than the ones listed one being Campbelltown sports stadium which is known for being the west tigers home stadium for NRL
honestly i just love how mexico city has a lucha libre specific arena and tokyo has a sumo specific arena even though I'm from Mexico I would love to go to the arena in Tokyo since I'm fascinated by sumo wrestling
Both Arena Mexico and Arena Coliseo may be mainly used for lucha libre, but they are also professional boxing venues. Served as such for the 1968 games.
In the USA it has to be Houston, LA & NY. Order is in the eye of the beholder. I'm from Houston but I would give it to LA because of the new nfl stadium, 2 mlb stadiums and the Rose Bowl. Btw, basketball arenas should also count.
Nah you cant beat London! Wembley alone is arguably the most iconic stadium in the world, Twickenham where rugby is played has over 80,000. Then you have the Olympic stadium where West Ham United now play, big modern PL stadiums including Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenhan as well as loads of other football stadium and to finish it off you have Wimbledon tennis courts.
Arlington "The Hyphen" Texas...🙄 But hey, that is where the billion dollar stadiums are in their "entertainment district". They can spend cash on stadiums but don't have enough cash for a decent bus system. Go figure.
@@29Texan It's because the idiots who live in Arlington rejected a half-cent sales tax dedicated to mass transit, which is required under Texas law to join a mass transit agency (such as Fort Worth's Trinity Metro), on three separate occasions over the last few decades. So Arlington basically has a glorified mashup between Uber and shared ride called VIA, which is moderately reliable (and that's being charitable).
@@CreightonRabs I live in Fort Worth... I already know about all that. It's frustrating. They want to be seen as a "big city" but wont do big city shit.
I can't believe that you didn't include the Charles Moses Stadium in Sydney, the only stadium in the world used specifically for the sport of.... wood chopping!
Just an FYI, those from Southern Cali don't consider the Angels Los Angeles... which is why we were in such an uproar when they added los Angeles to the name lol
Nashville is okay I mean Nissan Stadium is an okay looking traditional American Football stadium while Bridgestone Arena is ment to look like a record player because of Nashville’s musical history and First Horizon Park (home of the minor league baseball team Nashville Sounds) has a video screen in the shape of a guitar they also have an outdoor bar, mini golf course, and curling at the south end of the stadium. I haven’t been to GEODIS Park yet but all I know that it is the biggest soccer specific stadium in North America.
Rice Stadium in Houston is where JFK gave the iconic “we choose to go to the moon” speech Hence the line “why dose Rice play Texas? WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON!!!”
Denver has beautiful stadiums and all 4 major sports stadiums are 5 min from each other. You can practically see them from each other. The MLS stadium and University stadiums aren’t too far either
Frisco the star the last one you featured in our part of the video is not a stadium is a multi-purpose facility that actually is the working home of the Dallas cowboys that's their training facility and everything Yes they have a football stadium in there but there's much more to it than you realize you could just do a video on it
Melbourne beats London for total sporting crowd attendance figures. MCG and Docklands (Marvel) Stadium with MULTIPLE big games and multiple teams each week. AFL, Cricket 🏏, NRL, Rugby Union, Formula One, Basketball, Netball, Australian Open tennis 🎾 and more.
Los Angeles is the clear winner and it's not even close. 2 good MLS parks, 2 giant MLB stadiums, the forum, Staples (will never call it Crypto, lol), the Colluseum, the Rose Bowl, SoFi, Galen Center, Honda Center. Also a large NASCAR track if you count Fontana in the mrtro area. There are also several mixed use centers that function as arenas as well. They're also building another 2 large scale sports stadiums for major league teams at this time. There's a reason LA's getting the Olympics despite having only middling transport/hotel infrastructure- it's the Stadiums. Name another metro area where there are 4+ indoor arenas that can host over 15K and 6+ stadiums that can host over 50K.
And yet Melbourne beats LA for total sporting crowd attendance figures, even though LA metro population is about 5 times bigger than Melbourne. MCG and Docklands (Marvel) Stadium with MULTIPLE big games and multiple teams each week. AFL, Cricket 🏏, NRL, Rugby Union, Formula One, Basketball, Netball, Australian Open tennis 🎾 and more.
If course the USA has the most stadiums in number, cost and size. Heck we have 25,000 seat high school stadiums with AstroTurf. It’s partly because the USA 🇺🇸 is an economic powerhouse, has a lot of interest in professional sports and college and high school stadiums and because America has 330 million people in a country with four time zones.
I definitely missed a few worthy cities, so I will probably be making a part 2 video. Please leave your suggestions below.
mvc, Berlin, munchen, rühr valley, milan, Madrid, Lisbon, Montevideo, Santiago, lima, Budapest, Vienna and Athens
Chicago and NYC
No New York City?
@@kriss4200 Not until NYCFC gets a stadium and the Jets and Giants have separate ones. Also no major college hurts.
Minneapolis St Paul. Target Field, US Bank Stadium, Allianz Field, TCF Bank Stadium, etc.
It's a smaller market so it doesn't get a ton of attention, but the Twin Cities has 6 different stadiums for each major American sports team. Their NFL, MLB and NHL stadiums are constantly ranked nationally in the top 10. They also have a new D1 college football stadium, a brand new MLS stadium, and a new minor league baseball stadium in downtown St. Paul.

Minneapolis-St. Paul punches well above it's weight when it comes to stadiums.
Honestly outdated is not how I'd describe Target Center, it was built in an era before private boxes were the focus and I can appreciate the look of the stadium being not full of luxury amenities and shiny new architecture.
And that grass roof looks great on google maps.
Yeah we got some top facilities,
That is true but no city will beat London.
Love how you showed a few high school football stadiums for Houston and Arlington
But he missed the multiple, $100+ million HS stadiums in DFW and SMU
Missed Houston Rockets and Living Stones Mega Summit. Lol.
As a Londoner, I can only agree that London is top dog for stadia and sports arenas.
I’m from Calgary and our sports venues aren’t great, so it was funny to see it mentioned in this video.
Yeah that pringledome is something else...
NYC might not be on this list (because a third of the notable stadiums are in New Jersey) but the ones actually in the city are pretty good
Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, Madison Square Garden, and the Barclays Center for Major teams, plus places like MCU park for other pro teams

- Saitama Stadium (60,000 capacity, home of the Urawa Refs and their MAD fans)
- Yokohama International Stadium (65,000, blighted by a running track but notable for hosting but a football and rugby World Cup final)

if u counted Fort Worth, Arlington and fresco for Dallas, u might as well count all metropolitan areas in all cities. in Sao Paulo there is the anacleto Campanella, Jayme cintra in jundiai, Santo Andre's stadium, vila Belmiro and so on. in London there is the den, the hive, plough lane, Brentford community stadium, dagenham stadium and Brisbane road. forgot about nyc, Berlin, munchen, Milan, Madrid, Lisbon, Montevideo, Santiago, lima
"Innit."
The Wide World of Stadiums, 15 March 2021
You missed ATCO field at Spruce meadows in Calgary! (:
Toronto ! I loved visiting Rogers Centre (I think its one of the better MLB stadiums -I've personally been to 10), Scotiabank Arena is also really nice !! I only saw it from the outside, but it ranked in the top 10 MLS stadiums, BMO field looked lovely, and from google Aviva Centre looked cool too.
Smaller market area : Omaha, NE - Might sound a bit crazy, but The CHI Health Center hosts the U.S Olympic swim trials, has hosted U.S skating trials, NCAA wrestling, the 2015 FIVB Volley ball World Grand Prix, and NCAA Volleyball Championships almost every other year. The baseball stadium hosts the College World Series every year at T.D Ameritrade park. There is a fantastic soccer stadium for Creighton at Morrison stadium, DJ Sokol arena looks nice for college volleyball, Baxter Arena is set to host the USA Curling team trials again (previously hosted 2017) and hosted the Curling Grand Prix and UNO Mavericks hockey. Werner Park hosts the semi-pro baseball team, and semi-pro soccer team. Finally there's Ralston Arena which has the Omaha Lancers (semi pro ??) hockey, UNO basketball (I think also has hosted a few rounds of March Madness ??), Roller Derby playoffs, and several semi-pro football teams (these leagues usually fold). I don't know where but the FEI has hosted the Equestrian World Championships in Omaha somewhere, and will host again in 2023. It has several more stadiums but I didn't feel they were big enough.
TL;DR --> It hosts international events (FIVB, FEI), it hosts some of the biggest National events (US Olympic Swim, Curling, and Ice Skating as well as the CWS, Volleyball Finals regularly), and several Colleges.
hahahaha cmon ur stadiums are not great
@@igorvyacheslavtherussianmu3142 Huh ? Elaborate please... I have 2 cities listed for one ...
@@brennanritter2930 never visited canada but i know for a fact that ur stadiums are bad. u have good arenas but not great stadiums. 3 good stadiums are not enough lets say if your country would want to host the world cup u would at least need 10 high class ones located in different cities.
@@igorvyacheslavtherussianmu3142 I'm not Canadian hahaha. Canada would be able to provide great stadiums and arenas in several different cities though. Also, I don't think he's exactly differentiating being stadium and arena ... or maybe that was a different video of his I watched, I binged a lot.
@@igorvyacheslavtherussianmu3142 Here in Toronto we could care less up having good stadium we cane to watch our team play
Video suggestion: The most beautiful stadiums on each continent for example South America, North America, Europe etc.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it
Love the Harry Potter reference 😂
if you do an updated video of this, or just do a part 3, 4, 5... you should consider Seattle. NFL/MLS stadium, MLB stadium, college football stadium all with beautiful views. tacoma dome got recently renovated. new NHL arena finishing up an entire rebuild, and that arena is right next to a historic city stadium that has hosted football, soccer, the worlds fair, athletics, and boat racing. yes, boat racing.
The narrator of these videos is pure gold. 😂😂
Me before watching this video: "lol, Calgary has such shitty stadiums, we never get featured in these videos..."
Me at 8:40: "Wait a second, did I hear what I thought I heard?"
Me at the end of the video: "Holy shit, I can't believe we got first place!"
Stop bashing on calgary's stadiums there old but it's a blast from the past
congrats!
Why did Wade from GTA5 come on near the end? And why did he keep saying 'A'?
Dundee! Or at least the smallest City to have two top flight clubs, Dundee FC, and the other one.
Not technically IN Calgary, but just south of the city is Spruce Meadows - a longstanding horsejumping venue, which now also is home to a professional soccer club. That's right, Cavalry FC's pitch is shared with equestrian athletes.
Did you reuse the thumbnail from The stadiums of Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex
Manchester has:
Velodrome
Belle Vue Speedway
Athletic stadium
Old Trafford Cricket
Altrincham Ice Hocky
AJ Bell rugby union/ league
Old Trafford & Eastlands football
No mention ☹️
What about what about what about what about what about what about
Also your Canadian sounds Indian. Love it
What about the Chicago metro area? Soldier Field, Wrigley, Guaranteed Rate Field, SeatGeek Stadium, United Center, Allstate Arena, Impact field, Ryan field
Let’s goooo I’m from Calgary!!! We have the best stadiums of all time!!!
You’re saying Calgary and I have so many goosebumps right now.
Well Sydney has a lot more stadiums than the ones listed one being Campbelltown sports stadium which is known for being the west tigers home stadium for NRL
honestly i just love how mexico city has a lucha libre specific arena and tokyo has a sumo specific arena
even though I'm from Mexico I would love to go to the arena in Tokyo since I'm fascinated by sumo wrestling
Both Arena Mexico and Arena Coliseo may be mainly used for lucha libre, but they are also professional boxing venues. Served as such for the 1968 games.
Atlanta USA
A well, well deserved like
In the USA it has to be Houston, LA & NY. Order is in the eye of the beholder. I'm from Houston but I would give it to LA because of the new nfl stadium, 2 mlb stadiums and the Rose Bowl. Btw, basketball arenas should also count.
The L.A. _Memorial_ Coliseum is as historic as you get, let's not _forget._
Melbourne
Madrid. Also Paris, London, NY, Melbourne, and Osaka.
In the US it has to be Los Angeles. 👍
london believe it or not has a Gaelic football stadium mcgovern park only 3000 ,but its there never the less
Bro what about delhi we two indoor arenas 2 cricket specific stadium a speedway and 2 football specific stadium
When did they add those ads on the seats??
the end bit lmfao
Before seeing anything, I'd say Buenos Aires
London & Los Angeles 🔥🔥🔥
I think Chicago because you have Soldier Field, United Center, Toyota Park, Wrigley Field, Guaranteed Rate field and etc.
Nah you cant beat London! Wembley alone is arguably the most iconic stadium in the world, Twickenham where rugby is played has over 80,000. Then you have the Olympic stadium where West Ham United now play, big modern PL stadiums including Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenhan as well as loads of other football stadium and to finish it off you have Wimbledon tennis courts.
Me: Sees title
Also me: Hmmmmm... yea Arlington
Ha
Arlington "The Hyphen" Texas...🙄
But hey, that is where the billion dollar stadiums are in their "entertainment district". They can spend cash on stadiums but don't have enough cash for a decent bus system. Go figure.
@@29Texan It's because the idiots who live in Arlington rejected a half-cent sales tax dedicated to mass transit, which is required under Texas law to join a mass transit agency (such as Fort Worth's Trinity Metro), on three separate occasions over the last few decades. So Arlington basically has a glorified mashup between Uber and shared ride called VIA, which is moderately reliable (and that's being charitable).
@@CreightonRabs I live in Fort Worth... I already know about all that.
It's frustrating. They want to be seen as a "big city" but wont do big city shit.
I can't believe that you didn't include the Charles Moses Stadium in Sydney, the only stadium in the world used specifically for the sport of.... wood chopping!
Los Angeles, California!
Just an FYI, those from Southern Cali don't consider the Angels Los Angeles... which is why we were in such an uproar when they added los Angeles to the name lol
As a canadian, that accent is the funniest thing ive heard this week
Detroit/Ann Arbor area
Nashville is okay I mean Nissan Stadium is an okay looking traditional American Football stadium while Bridgestone Arena is ment to look like a record player because of Nashville’s musical history and First Horizon Park (home of the minor league baseball team Nashville Sounds) has a video screen in the shape of a guitar they also have an outdoor bar, mini golf course, and curling at the south end of the stadium. I haven’t been to GEODIS Park yet but all I know that it is the biggest soccer specific stadium in North America.
If you do an opposites video Auckland would have to rate highly on the bad stadium list
Sadly true :(
Wbu nyc and the metro area?
Rice Stadium in Houston is where JFK gave the iconic “we choose to go to the moon” speech
Hence the line “why dose Rice play Texas? WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON!!!”
I do believe London is the only city in the world with 5 stadiums over 50k. Wembley, Twickenham, Olympic (now London Stadium), Emirates and Tottenham.
Denver has beautiful stadiums and all 4 major sports stadiums are 5 min from each other. You can practically see them from each other. The MLS stadium and University stadiums aren’t too far either
London all day long
Frisco the star the last one you featured in our part of the video is not a stadium is a multi-purpose facility that actually is the working home of the Dallas cowboys that's their training facility and everything Yes they have a football stadium in there but there's much more to it than you realize you could just do a video on it
Melbourne beats London for total sporting crowd attendance figures. MCG and Docklands (Marvel) Stadium with MULTIPLE big games and multiple teams each week. AFL, Cricket 🏏, NRL, Rugby Union, Formula One, Basketball, Netball, Australian Open tennis 🎾 and more.
London. Easily.
Los Angeles is the clear winner and it's not even close. 2 good MLS parks, 2 giant MLB stadiums, the forum, Staples (will never call it Crypto, lol), the Colluseum, the Rose Bowl, SoFi, Galen Center, Honda Center. Also a large NASCAR track if you count Fontana in the mrtro area. There are also several mixed use centers that function as arenas as well. They're also building another 2 large scale sports stadiums for major league teams at this time. There's a reason LA's getting the Olympics despite having only middling transport/hotel infrastructure- it's the Stadiums. Name another metro area where there are 4+ indoor arenas that can host over 15K and 6+ stadiums that can host over 50K.
And yet Melbourne beats LA for total sporting crowd attendance figures, even though LA metro population is about 5 times bigger than Melbourne. MCG and Docklands (Marvel) Stadium with MULTIPLE big games and multiple teams each week. AFL, Cricket 🏏, NRL, Rugby Union, Formula One, Basketball, Netball, Australian Open tennis 🎾 and more.
If course the USA has the most stadiums in number, cost and size. Heck we have 25,000 seat high school stadiums with AstroTurf.
It’s partly because the USA 🇺🇸 is an economic powerhouse, has a lot of interest in professional sports and college and high school stadiums and because America has 330 million people in a country with four time zones.
yeah but noone else outside of the states is interested in your sports that only americans play lol
So
Obviously London
With the exception of being located in Detroit, Detroit has nice stadiums.
trivia: the second large baseball stadium is in havana and the third is in tokyo.
