The Yankees retractable roof idea makes it look more like a football stadium than a baseball one. I think the Denver stadium idea would’ve been pretty unique, assuming some tweaks were made they could have made it work out. The Delta Dome actually looks kind of cool to me and the overhang for that Dodger stadium idea isn’t that bad. The Tropicana Field retractable roof idea would’ve looked ugly.
maybe it’s just me but i like how the outside looks like a white church idk if it’s possible but if you had stain glass or the look of stain glass with yankees legends idk if other teams have done that before but it would be a great design
The main reason Fenway is still standing is how tightly packed it is into Boston. You stroll along, look up and realize you’re behind the Green Monster! If the Yankees can rebuild with such astounding results, Boston will do it soon enough.
Old Yankee Stadium being torn down instead of a modernization, will go down as the worst mistake in Yankees history. Lifelong Met fan but absolutely loved going to Yankee games at the old stadium. You felt the history every single time you stepped out of the concourse into the seats. This new stadium is abysmal and not worth the trip at all (unless you're a fan)
Imagine the publicity and attention they could have received if the Yanks had celebrated the centennial of their current stadium. As it was, nobody noticed the 100th anniversary of their LAST stadium. News flash: New Yankee Stadium won't last a hundred years. I give it about 29 or 30 before they start looking for new digs, possibly in Manhattan.
New Yankee stadium: They could solve their corporate feel with a small change. Behind home plate, make those seats affordable so that when people watch, it isn't empty.
There’s a rendering out there of Three Rivers Stadium or whatever they would have called it being built over the Monongahela River between Downtown Pittsburgh and South Side. I’m glad that never got built.
I been to Fenway once. Got a beam obscuring my view. Overrated stadium. Don't care how old it is. Don't care about the history there. Other stadiums have better views and are more fun.
I've heard people say "The coldest winter I've ever felt was summer in San Francisco." I kinda understand the idea of a domes stadium in SF but they'd be sacrificing maybe the best view in MLB.
I'm so glad the WTC stadium in Denever never got built. Looks like a soulless bowl. I guess it would be cool to see if a player could hit a ball onto the roof, but that's about it.
The last one on your video could be the idea that brought SoFi to life. The inside looks a lot like the render you show, and the roof is almost the same shape.
8:17 he does realize this is Citi Field, just without the olympic phase, right? And the complaint about Turner Field was all about location, not capacity.
I have read that in the late 60s, early 70s the elder Mayor Daley wanted to build a White Sox and Bears stadium by McCormick Place, had it been built it would have likely been replaced with seperate stadiums by the early 2000s
I think we are seeing the end of retractable roofs. Translucent roofs are the way of the future. Translucent roofs bring the best of both worlds. You get the natural light of an outdoor stadium and the climate control of a roof stadium.
Interesting cut off to the video, but the worst part of that proposal was clearly the idea that the Chargers and the Raiders would be sharing the building. I mean two AFC teams? Doesn't make sense. Having said that the actual design is a VERY close second, it's a combo of Soldier Field and Levi's and not a combo that works IMO.
You should show the proposed stadium Walter O’Malley had in mind when he pitched it to NYC officials before he moved the Dodgers to LA. it would have been the first dome stadium, and it would have been built where the Barclays Center is located now.
2:10 screw tradition. You can keep it open if you want. That's the point. Weather delays and cancelled games are antiquated in today's world. We have the tech to avoid these things. Why not do it? Tradition is overrated. Gimme uninterrupted games.
Yeah, it really messed up the schedule. I think one of the games was rescheduled to like 1pm on a weekday when me and most other people were at work, and people couldn’t watch the game.
I know this is partly just because the drawing is in black and white, but the Denver one just looks so dystopian. Like it'd be a more appropriate venue to watch Feyd-Rautha have a knife fight than a Rockies game.
Right? Until you’ve been there, you don’t realize that Fenway is carved into a city block. If you’re gonna upgrade it, smooth out the edges a bit lol. People will take time to get over it, but visiting outfielders will be thrilled when they’re not plowing into sharp corners or flipping over outfield fences. I moved to Houston a decade ago and still can’t believe they once had a hill in center…😔
There are always stadiums proposed that never get past initial renderings… Though I’m still of the attitude that the current stadium problems (too many seats) is the fault of the teams and not anything else.. you raise ticket prices only so much before people stop going… and instead of recognizing that.. they just take out seats to make the rest move valuable, WHICH IS WRONG… it’s only going to get worse.. sports in general are having problems because they are still living in the 90’s dreamworld and not realizing people don’t have the disposable income we used to have… and sports teams will be the loser.
Two things I never understood. Why don’t the red socks build rooftop seating on top of the MCM music hall? The Mets had a plan for a stadium that you didn’t show that slide the grass field under the parking lot for concerts ,basketball , and hockey games. Wish they had done that!
Idk if Turner Field is a 1:1 comparison. The Braves would still be there if the area around it was better. Heck they practically built Turner 2.0 just in a different area
That Denver park looks like a couple of low level corporate bungholes got together and got shitfaced at a strip club and hashed out that "brilliant" idea
@@jonstefanik9400 All I'm saying is, I don't watch these videos for the quality. Sometimes what's lacking is the research, sometimes it's the original scriptwriting and production, and sometimes it's the sophistication in the opinion. Often, it's all three that are lacking. But hey, I respect the grind of rambling out multiple videos a day covering every topic under the sun.
I never so much had an issue with the fact that they were proposing a new ballpark. Inevitably that will come up again. But when it happens, I hope they don't just try to carbon copy Fenway's dimensions, just in a different place - a major part of the charm is that the dimensions actually and organically stem from the street grid around it. NFP felt very needlessly artificial.
no, you are lying you say that the last video was fine but needs to work on new sets looks like a new roof on the Stadium okay I was looking at it just now that is done.
What wrong with number 12 You couldn’t name one bad thing about it sounds like you just hate the bears that stadium would have been 100 times better than sofi have you been to sofi foot and should be played outdoors
They did renovations at Fenway?! Please, I was there last season and it’s a dump! Worst seats, worst sight lines. Actually no sight because of the pillar in front of me. Wrigley is a gem compared to Fenway and you can tell they did renovate it.
@@breadandcircuses8127 were there 26 championships? On what Diamond? Did Thurman & Reggie play there? The Babe? How about the 3peat? Remember the closed in atmosphere when the stadium would literally rock? Need more? You have any plans on demolishing Wrigley or Fenway?

I agree with you.
Attended a Yankee game in the new stadium. It was really disappointing

It's a sterile facade of what used to be. How can they not see what Fenway and Wrigley are?
@@eddiejc1 Less than that. I'm calling 25.

those are the come late, leave early fans

#6 is basically Polo Grounds layout
Fun fact: Sun Devils have Polo Grounds lights!
The retractable roof in the proposed renovated Trop looks like LoanDepot Park.
Probably where loan depot park got some of it's design from to cut back on development cost.
After having been to Fenway in 2021 I definitely am happy the New Fenway didn’t happen. Didn’t even know that was proposed

I've heard people say "The coldest winter I've ever felt was summer in San Francisco." I kinda understand the idea of a domes stadium in SF but they'd be sacrificing maybe the best view in MLB.
I remember in 1983 the late former SF mayor Dianne Feinstein proposed installing a dome on Candlestick! It was windy and cold there
I'm so glad the WTC stadium in Denever never got built. Looks like a soulless bowl. I guess it would be cool to see if a player could hit a ball onto the roof, but that's about it.

I’ve never been to New York but people I know from there tell me that Yankees and Mets need retractable roofs
The people who say otherwise have never sat through a Wednesday night game in April at Citi field.
Honestly, most of the retractable roof stadiums don't even open/close the roof. Toronto may be the only one that uses it frequently.
The baseball teams don't need it...but if their owners wanted to host the Super Bowl or a major basketball tournament, that's a different story.
@@eddiejc1 yes and no. Places like Arlington, Houston, & Arizona need a dome/retractable roof due to the arid heat.
That early concept for Skydome (rogers centre) looks like candlestick park with a retractable dome roof lol
up here everybody still calls it SkyDome except for media ... maybe I'm just old, i dunno

Raiders and Niners should’ve shared Levi instead of making the dumb move to Vegas!

agreed. in 2022 they had 3 playoff games rained out. and they only hosted 5 playoff games total.
Yeah, it really messed up the schedule. I think one of the games was rescheduled to like 1pm on a weekday when me and most other people were at work, and people couldn’t watch the game.
@@jg2977 i think 2 of them were actually. the also had a scheduled off day between games 1 and 2 (both in NY) which was absurd.
@@tommyfu9271I remember that! The off day had great weather too!
I know this is partly just because the drawing is in black and white, but the Denver one just looks so dystopian. Like it'd be a more appropriate venue to watch Feyd-Rautha have a knife fight than a Rockies game.
Link's always in the description
What about the proposed 100,000 seat stadium for the New York Giants baseball team? It was supposedly going to float on pontoons on the Hudson River !
New Fenway makes me laugh. Let’s build a new stadium with the same crappy center field site lines lmao
Right? Until you’ve been there, you don’t realize that Fenway is carved into a city block.

People will take time to get over it, but visiting outfielders will be thrilled when they’re not plowing into sharp corners or flipping over outfield fences. I moved to Houston a decade ago and still can’t believe they once had a hill in center…😔
The LA football stadium looks less like Soldier Field and more like the 49ers stadium, with its bank of luxury suites on one side.
Interesting video idea!

The yankee stadium with roof rendering looks like Globe Life Field
Rodgers Center in Toronto was originally named Sky Dome. Not sure how old you are or if you ever knew that.
Two things I never understood. Why don’t the red socks build rooftop seating on top of the MCM music hall? The Mets had a plan for a stadium that you didn’t show that slide the grass field under the parking lot for concerts ,basketball , and hockey games. Wish they had done that!
Says Old Yankee Stadium (1922) was too old, but it's younger than both Fenway Park (1912) and Wrigley Field (1914)
New Fenway would be good for everyone but the Red Sox cuz Fenway is too classix
Idk if Turner Field is a 1:1 comparison. The Braves would still be there if the area around it was better. Heck they practically built Turner 2.0 just in a different area

I really like the Colorado stadium
New Yankee Stadium is a shopping mall
Yeah the last one looks like a college stadium with the grass area
Tearing down Yankee stadium was already a travesty. Thankfully Fenway and Wrigley are basically safe from being torn down.
What's with these videos lately? They end before the signoff. Is it my end?
You expect quality?
I would watch the full videos before. No problem but during the past week I watched a few that would be cut off when Ginger was still talking.

The Giants stadium looks a chopped Kingdome.
I remember thinking how dumb the New Fenway idea was, and how it would eventually be a big regret. Ted Williams even supported it. Glad it died.
The petitions we're in. No fan wanted a replacement. Save Fenway Park bumper stickers all over New England

I have watched numerous of videos. This guy has put out and he just seems to hate stadium that holds more than 25 to 30,000 fans.
LA Stadium in this video is just Levi Stadium in San Fran.
You dogged on so many designs that ended up happening....it was kinda funny.
yankee need retractable roof.
Is it because it rains a lot or too hot?
@@darylwille4878 nyc for rain
Are you the stadium police why are you so happy that stadiums didn’t get built does it really mean that much to you?
Asking for relocations that never happened again
Baseball is played in parks, not stadiums.
no, you are lying you say that the last video was fine but needs to work on new sets looks like a new roof on the Stadium okay I was looking at it just now that is done.
What wrong with number 12

6:28 I wonder if he even knows what got built at that location. No mention at all of what's currently there.
Every video he says the same thing over and over again YAWN!
You think the new Yankee Stadium is underrated? That place is lame and lifeless.
My number 1 is the “New Fenway Park” in late 1990s
I wrote this before I watched ~
They did renovations at Fenway?! Please, I was there last season and it’s a dump! Worst seats, worst sight lines. Actually no sight because of the pillar in front of me. Wrigley is a gem compared to Fenway and you can tell they did renovate it.
All the stadiums on this video were ugly!
Since A Historic Stadium like Old Yankees was Replaced by the New, Why Can’t that DUMP in Boston Be replaced??
New Yankee Stadium is awful. Bulldozed all tradition.
@@breadandcircuses8127 were there 26 championships? On what Diamond? Did Thurman & Reggie play there? The Babe? How about the 3peat? Remember the closed in atmosphere when the stadium would literally rock? Need more? You have any plans on demolishing Wrigley or Fenway?
Upside down stadium
Who cares what you think
Apparently Many people do given his views and subscribers. My God you westerners can be so rude, hahaha
New Yankee Stadium is AWFUL.
Citi Field is really nice and I hate the Mets.
They should of done the second fenway because they have to eventually replace it and it would of been alot more seats and fans
Too bad Yankee stadium, the old one isnt around, they most of smoked pot to get rid of it
