Yea but it’ll always be for baseball. It’s impossible to watch a football match in there. I’m hoping they bang the nail on the head with the World Cup Reno’s for bmo.
I've been to the five stadiums mentioned by name in Ontario and Quebec. BMO is definitely the best of those five. But travelling with TFC supporters to Saputo and making the fan march from the Pie IX station is probably the best experience. Although the "Miracle in Montreal" game where we made the march from the Olympic Stadium station was absolutely bonkers. There were over 1000 of us that night. For anybody that hasn't been to Montreal, right there between Olympic Stadium and Saputo Stadium is the Montreal Biodome (which I believe was the velodrome for the '76 Olympics) and that place is amazing. Definitely worth the subway ride.
@@therefdiegocostus7325 Even by your logic, the fact that 4 of 7 final round World Cup qualifiers were at BMO makes BMO far superior. The open ends in Hamilton and Ottawa make the stadiums feel like glorified high school stadiums.
Fun fact, there aren't any large scale maple sugar plantations in Alberta, they don't actually grow well there. It's mostly in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick
What I love about these Stadiums in Canada is they host an outdoor nhl hockey games . Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton , Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton & Ottawa all hosted the NHL Heritage Classics . Only Montreal needs to host an outdoor game now .
Please dear God do this. Really wanna hear his opinion on the Centre Slush Puppie and Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre. Can’t forget the Angel of the Winds Arena!
Both Mosaic and Investor's Field look really good and surprised we don't play more Canadian Men's National Team soccer games there. They look way nicer than BMO Field or the larger Commonwealth.
Neither of them are much bigger than BMO. BMO is currently 30k, Mosaic and IG are both 33k. Thing holding both them back is grass. Players prefer grass and there are enough studies indicating increased injury risk on artificial surfaces to justify those feelings.
@@trevorbrooks9637 changing turf to grass is just money but doable. But stadium amenities? The overall esthetic...compared to BMO field, just wow! Too bad Ontario had money for the SkyDome and let that thing rot to bits and become a ballpark instead (rather than build a proper ballpark). BMO field just seems cheap....
Thank you for the awesome video! With the Canadian Premier League not even at it's 5th season, who know how this list will grow by 5 or 10 years from now. Only two of the grounds are regularly used by CPL teams (Wanderers Grounds and IG Field), but with upcoming teams in Sask, BC, and maybe out east, hopefully new stadiums too.
I'm an Edmontonian who loves Commonwealth. Sure, the seats are a bit far away, and at some point soon it'll need a BC Place-style refurb, but there's something special about an older building that seems to host just about everything (except the World Cup, screw you FIFA-) ahem, anyways, Commonwealth's definitely got a certain charm to it. ✨️
Agreed 100%....and you know what else had a "certain charm?"....The Coliseum. Good enough for Gretzky, Messier Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney....good enough for us? ...The real irony is the original Roman Coliseum lasted 2,000 years....Katz wants ours bulldozed after 60...hahaha.
@@jeremydanchuk1897 I'd correct that to Modern Era NHL. Early NHL back in the 20s likely did have a number of outdoor games (would require research to verify).
The only bad thing about SkyDome, really, is that Rogers are dumbasses and got rid of the unique name. They COULD have called it Rogers SkyDome and keep the cool part in it, but NO! THey have to go with lame-ass Rogers Centre, which is the same exact name as the arena the Canucks play out of! How many buildings named "Rogers Centre" do you FUCKING need!
What makes PEI great: 1. The Confederation Bridge 2. The Confederation Centre of the Arts 3. Anne of Green Gables 4. PEI Potatoes 5. Doesn't have the crime infestation that Ontario has
Just to clarify, Hockey is indeed the most popular sport in Canada, and it has been Canada's "official" Winter Sport since the mid 1980's. Before that, our National Sport was Lacrosse, which still remains Canada's "official" summer sport (strange considering the box lacrosse season starts in December and ends in April, bypassing summer completely.) Luckily, field lacrosse starts just before box lacrosse ends, making us seem less insane for calling it our "summer" sport. Box Lacrosse, and basketball (also invented by a Canadian) both play their games in hockey stadiums, so omitting them was a less than ideal call, demonstrating a football bias that exists far less here (even though field lacrosse, American-style football, football and rugby are played in football stadiums, their revenues pail in comparison to basketball and hockey. We also have great places to play Baseball! Most of us, being obstinate as we are, continue to call Rogers Centre "Skydome" thanks to its retractable roof that actually works! (personally, I'm offended by corporate naming rights of stadiums built with taxpayer funds, so it will always be 'Skydome', a name submitted by a Torontonian in a contest. A plaque at the entrance stating; "Skydome is financially supported by Rogers Communications"' would be more appropriate.) Anyway, it's "Skydome" regardless of what Rogers wants us to call it. It's a smaller stadium (10,000 permanent seats and 2000 optional bleachers) but deserved more attention in your video if for no other reason than it's unique roof design, contribution to our skyline, and being home of the Toronto Blue Jays.
How about if Rogers had called it "Rogers SkyDome" and kept the cool name in there? FYI, there's also a "Rogers Centre" in Vancouver - it's the arena the Canucks play in.
@@Seriously_Unserious Yup, I'm aware, and find it more than ridiculous that multiple cities, who each have their own historic figures to commemorate, have Stadiums named after the same corporate entity (Not as disturbing as a stadium named after a bank as in Scotiabank Arenas). Skydome is especially problematic, as it was acquired for pennies on the dollars of the cost of construction. Hardly warrants naming rights in my mind.
Some ideas you could do for these "best stadium" videos: - Every Italian island/region - Every Spanish region - Every German kingdom - Every Chinese province.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums Yeah, nah. The city is named after the Gatineau River, but no one knows for sure if the River is named after the French family name Gastineau, or if it's from the Algonquin language.
5:32 - BMO Field is going to be renovated for the World Cup in 2026. Not sure if its going to be fancy like the ones in Europe/previous WC host countries lol
My favorite stadium in Ontario is still the Rogers Centre (I still wish it was called SkyDome), because of how loud the fans get in it during the MLB postseason. They definitely don't make it a welcoming environment for the opposing team, which is ironic considering Canadians are deemed polite.😁
I like the Rogers Centre too, but I feel it is just too big anymore. Jays really only need about 40k seats, imo. Also, you almost need a Sherpa to get up to the 500 level. That's why I prefer BMO, you never feel too far from the field.
I still remember the moment when it got loud in there. The year was 1992, and Dave Winfield told Toronto "Winfield Wants Noise" and the fans have been giving their Winfield of Dreams noise ever since!
@@roywarriner8441 If Rogers was smart, they'd have at least kept SkyDome in part of the name, like Rogers SkyDome instead of ditching the best stadium name in the world and replacing it with centre, boring, plain dumb, ass old centre. We've got a Rogers Centre in Vancouver for fuck's sake. The Canucks play out of it! How many fucking Rogers Centres do we fucking need?!
Please please please do ice hockey arenas from the QMJHL, OHL & WHL! We have some really nice arenas for our junior teams like Halifax, Moncton, Quebec City, London & Saskatoon.
Great video, and yeah we're pretty lacking compared to other countries for stadiums, but we're among the elite when it comes to arenas. Your capacity figure for BMO Field is a bit outdated, it now holds 31,000.
In 1994 the National Sports Act of Canada was revised and kept Canada's National summer sport as lacrosse but made Canada's National winter sport to hockey.
Before watching I'm going to say Mosaic Stadium wins for Saskatchewan...mostly because it's the only option. Homer Simpson was right...De Fault! The two sweetest words in the English language! De fault! De fault!
Well, 2 things - imo Bmo field is just a stadium nothing really special especially not enough to rank it over Rogers Centre, love watching that roof open/close during a game. Second you forgot about the curling rink up in Nunavut ;) great video! All kidding aside. Also Rogers Centre feels like an earthquake when something special happens, like bat flips and walk offs
I’m glad you picked BMO field for Ontario, criminally underrated stadium. You have an amazing view from all sides and the exterior is gorgeous. Great place to watch a game. Beer prices are a but ridiculous though :/
I guess mosaic stadium is cool but almost everyone from Regina (including me) hates the fact they wasted so much money on the interior instead of putting a dome on it
There are no sugar maple trees in Alberta; they aren’t hardy enough to tolerate the wild temperature swings in winter or the lack of moisture year-round.
May I suggest the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, a Division II league with 14 teams, mostly in Minnesota and the Dakotas, with one team each in Nebraska and Iowa.
00:11 It is actually not Hockey. It is called Lacrosse. Canadian nationalists like George Beers began advocating for lacrosse to become the national sport instead of cricket or Hockey as was being pushed by British settlers. It also was played by the first nations.
Commonwealth stadium is not the largest stadium in Canada. Olympic stadium in Montreal is with a capacity of 66,308, which is 10,000 higher than Commonwealth. You must have read the baseball capacity of Olympic to get the 56K number, but for football it holds 66K, and 61K for soccer.
5:30 - two interesting things about TD Place in Ottawa. What you see is actually two editions of the stadium. The newer half on the Canal side and the much older half. Also, below that older stand is a former NHL hockey arena (still in use by a junior team). In this brief picture (5:30), you can make out a portion of the arched front facade of the arena on the other side of the street level building.
Not for long! The arena (and as a result of being and built literally on top of the arena- the stadium’s grandstand) are getting torn down and a new arena will be built on the open grassy part and finally a new grandstand will be built. Gonna miss the Civic Centre, grew up in that rink.
I feel that Moncton needs a soccer team or a cfl team because the stadium is very nice but doesn’t really have a major tendant other than the university’s sports. The University would probs not allow a team to use their field tho
0:28 Edmonton and Calgary WNBA, NBA, MLB, and MLS 1:23 Victoria WNBA, NBA, MLB, and MLS 2:11 Winnipeg WNBA, NBA, MLB, and MLS 5:09 Ottawa WNBA, NBA, MLB, and MLS 6:51 Montreal WNBA, NBA, and MLB
imagine not choosing the stadium that got 300 million cad in renovations, has a retractable roof, and has the biggest stadium capacity in Ontario. but bmo field is kinda nice, so I'll give you that.
BC Place holds 54,000 people, more than ten times more than any other stadium in the province, except Nat Bailey, a Single A baseball stadium which holds 6,800.
It’s actually pretty sad that Canada doesn’t have a big 65,000 + seat stadium that even comes close to rivalling a NFL stadium. A National Stadium that can host big events like Wembly. Olympic stadium is terrible and Roger’s Centre is baseball centric. BC Place would be the closest one. Mosaic and IG stadiums are by far the nicest, but too small for international games.
And not much public transit access unlike higher cities either held by LRT, Skytrain, Metro Lines, Subway, or good bus lines. Like the Grey Cup here in Regina was chaotic after the games with the parking and people taking shuttle buses were confused. (Usually for Roughrider games it is Park and ride from malls and for grey cup it was shuttle buses from hotels)
Western Canada has really forged ahead with developing some of the best stadiums found in Canada 🇨🇦 I suspect Calgary will develop a new state of the art venue in the not so distant future.
While Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon were missing, I could understand why considering they have too little population to begin with. That said, this have me hindsight that Canada has hidden jewels for stadiums.
Definitely. Despite its many flaws, Molson Stadium’s intimate atmosphere with its amazing view of the mountain on one side and of the Montreal skyline on the other, is pretty hard to beat.
Edmonton, "the temperatures barely get above freezing for a good portion of the year?!" You obviously have never been to Edmonton and didn't do much research before saying that.
This is the third comment I have seen of this. I blame it on Trivial Pursuit. In 1994, the National Sports Act 9f Canada was revised. Lacrosse is Canada's National summer sport but hockey is now Canada's National winter sport.
This video makes it seem like the CFL is being played during the winter only. Below freezing at Commonwealth Stadium in the summer? I hope this a sarcastic video and I'm not getting the joke
In 1994, the National Sports Act of Canada was revised and while Lacrosse remains the National summer sport of Canada, Hockey is the National winter sport of Canada.

Did this guy seriously place commonwealth stadium over rogers place? Come on man.
As a Manitoban I would like to argue that Shaw park is better than IG field
I was so excited for the Yukon and today I learned it’s not a province.
Lmao, I was in one of those Sask photos, don't know if I like that XD
canada's national sport is lacrosse btw
This is the third comment I have seen of this. I blame it on Trivial Pursuit. In 1994, the National Sports Act 9f Canada was revised. Lacrosse is Canada's National summer sport but hockey is now Canada's National winter sport.
The fact you excluded the Skydome from the list very surprising.
I love stadium abs arena constructions do you guys know of any similar channels for indoor arenas?
In commonwealth stadium in Alberta it’s cold way more than its warm here lol but none the less still a really nice stadium
being from moncton new brunswick , its not call red river. we call it the chocolate river and part of the worlds highest tides,
Did you even look at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton? Its pretty nice stadium.
Fun fact: Maple Trees are only grown in Quebec and Ontario in Canada
Ummm no. We have maple trees on the prairies too.
@@Zlata1313 Well then I need to confront my high school teacher lol
@@VFC8 they're not sugar maples, but definitely maples.
THANK YOU
I’m in Nova Scotia, thought huskies stadium would’ve been the answer
This video makes it seem like the CFL is being played during the winter only. Below freezing at Commonwealth Stadium in the summer? I hope this a sarcastic video and I'm not getting the joke
Most people really don't know much about Canada and assume it snows for 85% of the year
Someone's already probably said this but the national sport of Canada is surprising lacrosse
In 1994, the National Sports Act of Canada was revised and while Lacrosse remains the National summer sport of Canada, Hockey is the National winter sport of Canada.
Nicely done even with the itty bitty fields. Now are you going to hit a few more English speaking places or go to Asia or South America again!
The video should be renamed: ''Man roasts atlantic Canada's provinces''
Alberta: The sunshine province
British Columbia: the pacific province
Manitoba: The land of 100,000 lakes
Newfoundland: Canada’s happy province
Nova Scotia: Bluenose province
Ontario: The Great Lake province
Prince Edward Island: The first Province
Quebec: la belle province
Saskatchewan: wheat province
Pei calls themselves the birthplace of confederation and Nova Scotia calls them selves Canadas ocean playground
"New Brunswick has the best flag" shows the flag of Prince Edward Island.
You should do Big South Conference basketball arenas.
look, this is the best soccer arena in the provinces, but in reality, the best arenas in canada are hockey arenas
Dude I had to pause the video I laughed so hard at 5:19
You should’ve done Nunavut
Make "The Best Stadium in Every Brazilian State"
bruh ive driven past the common wealth stadium so many times and never knew that it was the largest in canada.
I'm pretty sure he's wrong... Olympic Stadium in Montreal is larger
Hideous outdoor stadiums. I'm Canadian and this is embarassing.
