Which of these demolished arenas was your favorite?

@vitameat Год назад

St. Louis Arena

@neilwhitaker6284 Год назад

edit: deleted my original comment as I now see the title of video is demolished and I suppose technically Maple Leaf Gardens (and Montreal Forum) were not completely demolished even though they were ruined.

@mikecumbo7531 Год назад

I grew up in Buffalo, saw an AHL game in the Aud, before the roof was raised to add seats for the Sabres. Also saw the Sabres, Braves, now the LA Clippers, various concerts, and then worked in that place as a TV tech, televising games for fans to watch. I worked in the Spectrum and Cap Centre but both were close to end of their life’s and neither had childhood memories like the Aud.

@neilwhitaker6284 Год назад

@@mikecumbo7531 Cool memories. Lots of my friends would go to the Aud because tickets were easier to get than for Toronto Maple Leafs. My minor hockey association (Burlington Ontario) had a deal and night each year to go watch a Sabres game. Sadly I never made it out with them!

@Mr.Harland91 Год назад

@brianjones7660 Год назад

The Met Center in MPLS had random color seats if I recall? Those barns had character...The Aud here in Buff, Montreal Forum, Maple Leaf Gardens. Boston Gawdin 😏. Chicago Stadium, etc. You knew in a second on the TV what building it was. Today until the action goes thru center ice and the home logo is seen, it can be any recent NatWestOctoMegaMergeCorp Arena....😑

@user-bi3di3rk4l Месяц назад

@@brianjones7660 The Met Center had a random pattern of green, white, and yellow to match the North Star colors but IMO it was super ugly. They changed them to a uniform red color when they changed their jerseys just before moving to Dallas. The red made the arena look much nicer. Too bad they demolished it so quickly after the North Stars left.

@omegateamsports5291 Год назад

The old old Chicago arena looks awesome! I imagine a building that unique with modern amenities inside and that’s a awesome arena

@litz13 Год назад

Fun fact about the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta - when it was demolished, it was dropped without touching any street or structure on all four sides, including the entirety of the rest of the Omni/CNN Center complex and a MARTA rail station. It was replaced with Philips Arena, which itself was essentially internally demolished (stripped to concrete) in 2016/17 and rebuilt as State Farm Arena.

@fabio40 Год назад

The Capital Center looks a hell of a lot like the Calgary Saddledome.

@retroguy1976 Год назад

i was saying the same I never saw the exterior of that arena

@sportsmaster1364 Год назад

The hyperbolic paraboloid design (that curvy roof shape) actually was pioneered by the Veterans Coliseum in Arizona, in the 60's. Capital Center and the Saddledome simply followed in its footsteps, and the Saddledome became the most iconic arena of that design.

@sjdrifter72 Год назад

@@sportsmaster1364 I wish I could have seen Phoenix Roadrunners games there during the 70's and Suns games up until they moved in 1992 to what was then called America West Arena, where the Coyotes played in their first few seasons in Arizona. I didn't move to Phoenix until 1998 and by then the Coliseum looked derelict and abandoned.

@AlphaZaius67 Год назад

I love when you can still see the shape of the old arena. Like Joe Louis and Reunion Arena. Some places you wouldn't even know there was an arena there. Mellon Arena broke my heart. Miss that place.

@xtrabiggg13 Год назад

The Joe Louis arena currently has a 30-story hirise condo going up, with a hotel and expansion of the convenron center taking up the rest.

@grantmorriss2557 Год назад

@neilwhitaker6284 Год назад

me too, they rarely if ever are replaced by something better that improves the area.

@connecticut511 Год назад

it’s the music too, makes it feel like you actually went to the arena. very nostalgic.

@MetalBirdCowboysFan Год назад

Crazy enough I had my High School graduation back in 2003 over 20 years ago in the old Reunion Arena in Dallas and so did my brother in the year 2006. Think after 2008 that was when the city finally had it demolished in 2008.

@homer7859 Год назад

Queen's video "Another One Bites the Dust" and Scorpions "Still Loving You" were filmed there.

@KGKraetzerMedia Год назад

The place to see a vintage arena is the hockey arena at Northeastern, once called the Boston Arena, predated the Boston Garden, was beautifully renovated when the school purchased the arena. Understand Maple Gardens in Toronto was reconstructed as a multipurpose complex with a rink on top level.

@mikedecarlo9057 Год назад

Part of the Spectrum's old footprint is now Philly Live. A series of bars and restaurants open on gamedays

@jbillma Год назад

Noteworthy that Richfield Coliseum is now part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I'm not sure, but I think this is the only case where a sports arena was converted to parkland for a national park.

@sjdrifter72 Год назад

Richfield Coliseum was the perfect example of putting a building in the middle of nowhere. It's no wonder why the Barons had such a brief existence of only 2 years.

@jbillma Год назад

@@sjdrifter72 yep. Even worse, the only way in and out of the arena for the majority of people was through a single diamond interchange between I-271 and Ohio SR 303. Take your average truck stop just outside a major city late in the evening. Now imagine 100 times that many people using that same rural exit, all at the same time.

@GeoAce777 Год назад

from character to corporate 😏 pretty rad how Richfield was surrounded by sone nature. Chicago Coliseum easily the one I would have liked to known

@Classicrocker6119 Год назад

The Stampede Corral was a special place to watch hockey here in Calgary. So much character and I can only hope they saved all the fascinating pictures that were in the concourse. Thanks for the great memories!

@ronpeacock9939 Год назад

They don't make them like they used to.. the look from the outside for Chicago Coliseum or the Buffalo Auditorium or even the Boston/MSG are just not done anymore.. hell, even Detroits Olympia looks from the outside like a movie theater... now, they all have the glass and futurist look dominates...

@sportsmaster1364 Год назад

The Joe makes me sad, too. I had planned to take in a concert there just before Little Caesars was scheduled to open, but my travel plans got a bit bungled, so I had to settle for simply observing The Joe from a few blocks away.

@MNsportsnut Год назад

I thought where Met Center was is now the Ikea store in Bloomington.

@higgy04 Год назад

Ikea is beside it.

@jt7250 Год назад

Ikea would be right next to where Met Center once stood. The image is slightly off where the 'Met' actually sat. It was just to the NW of the photo, but close enough as it is a Parking lot. Saying its an IKEA now is close enough as well.

@MrZics 3 месяца назад

If anyone's curious what the development is where the Stampede Corral was, it's an major $500M expansion to the adjacent BMO Centre (convention centre). That project just reached substantial completion and there's a time lapse of the Corral's demolition and the construction of the BMO Centre expansion on the project's development manager's youtube channel (CMLC)

@Liggie55821 Год назад

The only one I saw a game at was the Miami Arena. Great atmosphere (this is when the expansion Panthers just made the Stanley Cup), but way too small and in a rough neighborhood. I went to grade school in Michigan and wanted to go to a Red Wings game, but this was in the '70s, and my parents would not go anywhere near Detroit. I dearly would've LOVED to see the Blackhawks at the Chicago Stadium, especially in the '80s when they had rambunctious fans and the Stadium was the only rink with a goal horn. I'm happy to hear they were able to restore the organ.

@neilwhitaker6284 Год назад

Maple Leaf Gardens was way better than the arena that replaced it the ACC although the toilets, namely the troughs needed a refurbishment. I never knew Hamilton even had an NHL team and I lived there and grew up just next to Hamilton.

@rstreet5537 Год назад

I live close to where the capital center (I grew up knowing it as USAir Arena) the mall is basically gone and there's a hospital there now

@imgeoyo Год назад

BTW you used the wrong image for where the Hamilton forum was located. That school is on Wentworth street ( travels north / south ) the forum was on Barton Street about 4 to 5 blocks north of that location ( traveling east to west ) the forum was demolished and turned into residential. There is no school where the forum used to be. Houses are on the property and there's a run down park across the street. Just want to clarify

I was at that one.

They are the AHL affiliate of the New York rangers.
