Before they built the new press boxes Michigan Stadium replaced all of the concrete in the bowl. I do like the idea of creating more seating in the endzones with a raised plaza and additional food service. Maybe add 10k to seating to keep it the largest for a little bit longer. As for Ford Field I think raising the roof would be necessary with creating space for a plazas on each end and moving the seats in the 2nd level to the sides and adding maybe 10k given it was built before the blackout rules were changed. The Silverdome had a lot of issues for selling out which forced sponsors to buy seats. If they get 10k more in seating they probably could be in the running for more SBs.
The University of Michigan completed a $227 million renovation in 2012 that added a completely new press box, luxury suites and a complete facade overhaul. This offseason they spent $30 million on new scoreboards and lighting. So there have been many major recent renovations to Michigan Stadium.
When you said Ford Field is the smallest stadium in the NFL, do you mean by it's total footprint or by seating? Seating it's just ahead of AZ and CHI, until they build the new CHI one. And also, for Spartan Stadium, there have been times it's been so cold, the eastern side of the upper deck had to be shut down because of frozen pipes. That should be the next thing that gets done there, renovating the east side stands. It's well overdue.
I don't understand the dislike of Comerica Park. I personally like it. Not bland at all. Also, Do not touch the Big House! It's an iconic stadium that if changed would lose some of the mystique.
I agree with your comment about Comerica Park. It is a nice ballpark for sure, but I don't like that they moved the fences in because I don't see anything wrong with it being a "pitcher's park."
Agreed and I can’t see the scores of other games after they moved in the walls when I’m not in the outfield for seating and what’s wrong with having little Caesar’s on the top of the arena it’s a local buisness that started in Michigan
Do Minnesota next. Aside from target center it has the best professional stadiums/arenas. And don’t forget the college hockey arenas. Love the vids man
If I could do anything to Ford Field, it would be to remove the roof and replace it with a frosted glass, like the sides so you get the natural light, yet enclosed.
Michigan stadium just replaced the scoreboards the largest pair of scoreboards in the country. That with new LED lighting cost $41M. Maybe they'll have more night games. The blue hairs don't like night games though.
Ford Field. The luxury boxes and press boxes are in an old Hudsons warehouse. It’s why it’s East West facing. They dug down very deep so most of the seats are below ground. The light from the atrium never reaches the field. In 2017 they put $100 million into it. They’re talking about a major update to Comerica Park. From what I read they moved in the walls as a test. Michigan Stadium hasn’t completely sold out in ages. You can see the student section with many empty seats. Spartan stadium had major issues during the Pandemic even after the lockdowns were lifted. People just didn’t go.
Real Michigan people like being outside during all months and weather, weather is never a problem, domes are lame and Ford Field is nice except that one issue..... The people of Wisconsin have zero issues with weather as well, they hope it snows and is cold, just have to dress for it. The dome is a real bummer on a nice facility...... Minnesota is domed up, I am not sure how those people feel about that, I would think they were not in favor, they like being outside as well......

Exactly idk what he was talking about 😂 from Ann Arbor
I like passing by Little Caesars Arena as I pass into Midtown on my way to the Cass Corridor, Wayne State, and the DIA.
If you were drinking a faygo this would be the most Detroit comment ever
I like Little Cesar arena. Very underrated
Michigan stadium just got new video boards and new lighting, it looks so much nicer now
The joke is the new scoreboards are so good, it’s like watching the game at home.
@@robertlee6781 yeah but I’ve was at the stadium for the opener and they are nice to have especially for replay, and the lights are really cool

0:25 Ford Field is both Detroit Lions 🦁 and Michigan Panthers 🐆 In one Stadium

I thought Tiger Stadium was a great stadium. I saw no problem with it.
Why not cover the staduims of easter,western and central michigan?
Do Minnesota next. Aside from target center it has the best professional stadiums/arenas. And don’t forget the college hockey arenas. Love the vids man
FF is 65k capacity

You should do like a top 30 stadiums/arenas of all time.
Wings moved from the joe man
Yeah it's been a while when that happened
No love for the country's largest wooden dome, the Superior Dome in Marquette?
It looks like Mel Tucker will be fired

Ahhhh my great state 😊
Frozen four in 2010 for college hockey
Michigan: we build it right to begin with & just do basic maintenance. Like a 57 Tnird or Vette.
I am a huge fan, keep up the good work
Not everything needs a remodel. If there is nothing wrong, why wast taxpayers' money to get something new.
Comerica has tghe weirdiest door frame behind home plate. The scoreboard is way too the left. Split levels were dated on arrival
add 20,000 more seats to Michigan Stadium!
Ford Field.

Ummm
Why do I thunk he has actually been to any of these stadiums?
Nothing good, hopefully
Leave U of Michigan Stadium as is. The stadium is not built for the weak, the pampered, or the casual fan. It's meant to be uncomfortable, as is war.
Why do you keep forgeting about the NHL?
Not a fan of domes for football
