We showcase 10 incredible stadium designs that were never built. From a New York NFL / Olympic stadium built on top of a rail yard, to an English football stadium built in the sea. Thanks for watching
As a Chelsea supporter whose dream is to see a game at Stamford Bridge I'm glad they didn't move but I would really love another team to use that design somewhere
I really do like the concept design of the Chargers stadium in Downtown San Diego so much it’s perfect! I knew there was going to be regrets moving back to Los Angeles
In 1958, Pittsburgh drew up plans for a stadium to replace Forbes Field. It would have been built directly OVER the Monongahela River. OF course, it didn't happen, and Three Rivers Stadium was built a decade later.
Really nice info on these not-to-be stadiums. My favorite's the one that would've been the Jets home in Manhattan. Also, have you done a video on the stadiums of Houston, Texas? If you haven't, you totally should!
Love the video but the Portsmouth fc stadium wasn't built due to security reasons due to it being situated next the naval dock yard, not financial reasons. Also Pompey were a premier league club at the time these plans were revealed.
The Oakland A's are gonna need a whole video of failed stadiums that never happened. What a shame, the early 90s they were in the top 3 in payroll, and were a consistent winning team and have the most unique logo and colors in MLB.
An interesting video would be of the top stadiums that have been abandoned or torn down. Two that would be on that list are the Astrodome and the old Yankee Stadium.
The Jets site was originally offered to the Yankees and Rudy Giuliani had the city rename the adjacent stretch of 12th Avenue the “Joe DiMaggio highway” to promote the idea. But since this was between 1997 (when he was re-elected but people immediately got tired of him afterward) and 9/11 (when people started taking him seriously again for a while), it went nowhere. Packaging this one with an Olympics bid a few years later made it seem like less of a folly (because you know, Olympics bids are never a folly) but when London got the 2012 Olympics this was dead in the water. Now the area has been built over with skyscrapers, and there’s a “Joe DiMaggio Highway” (a name no one uses) running past them on one side.
The Jets should build a stadium in Manhattan, they never really had a home for themselves. If putting real estate cost, parking, traffic aside, a stadium in Manhattan will be inevitably iconic
3 stadiums in California that were not built 1) The Sacramento Sports stadium behind the old Arco Arena. Kings owner Greg Lukinbill asked the City of Sacramento for a, 10 million dollar loan in 1985 to build a stadium that might have attracted the Giants and Raiders. Go to Google maps and use the coordinates 38.65090156574282, -121.51842856472612 and you will see what is left of this stadium. Like I said it was under construction. 2) Cisco Field for the Oakland A's in Fremont California. A Ball Park village concept from a Joint Venture by the A's and Cisco to build a Stadium on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. then the city of Fremont got greedy and demanded the A's pay for a bunch of infrastructure. 3) Raider's stadium at Hollywood park. Where Sofi stadium now sits, Al Davis back in 1987 announced plans to build a football only stadium at the Hollywood park site. The NFL said he would have to share the stadium with another NFL team and Davis went back to Oakland.
The only place worse, baring an active war zone, to put the Olympics than NYC has to be Boston where no one is parking, they’re just still stuck in traffic from the past decade. You think you have seen traffic, come to Boston. I love the Battersea Power Station and being a Chelsea supporter I’d love to have seen that building reused. Chelsea has its own problems being located in Fulham in the first place and not actually Chelsea.
Right now , Stamford bridge is also not in Chelsea, it lies in Fulham. And the fanbase of Chelsea is all over South East London including the counties. And Battersea is only 200 meters from Chelsea, across the Chelsea Bridge
Astounding how much money has been or could have been thrown at a house for an activity that involves 22 men running around on a grass field in their underwear.
@@de-fault_de-fault Honestly, this is an old comment that I regret making. His Aussie accent is great, but I also think that he has gotten more lifely since this video. And no, I don't want a typical youtuber saying "remember to like and subscribe", but he just sounds uninterested in this video.
