It is. Most of the host cities will be in the US, with some also being in Mexico and Canada. There’s still bidding going on with which cities will host, regardless, you’re correct on it being in North America.
Oh god I hope not, I'd have to hear about soccer every day for months lol. I really don't care though, I feel like I'll get angry comments if I don't clarify that
@@bravesirrobinn *is shown his point makes no sense and carries on anyway I mean you'd have to go to find the great wall of china to find something with a thicker face
The seating capacity can expand because they have the seats on a rail system that allows them to adjust the spacing so for larger events they can push the seats in and add a few extra to each section which really adds up. The Cowboys stadium was the first modern "super stadium" to do this, if I'm not mistaken.
The Super Bowl is pretty much a corporate event. A better fan experience would probably be taking in a conference championship game, where the game is not being played on a neutral site, and both teams probably play each other regularly, so there’s more of a rivalry feeling. I also think that a game to get to the Super Bowl has more electricity than the actual championship game itself.
I attended both and you are right. The atmosphere are a bit more dull during the Super Bowl since it is usually corporate people and their guest but I still had a lot of fun.
I was there a few weeks ago for a Rams game and it was very impressive. Believe me when I tell you they have recouped their 8 billion dollars by now with the ticket prices. 😬
Many older NFL stadiums, particularly from the 70's and 80's eras would have seating capacities around 80K. At some point the NFL implemented a revenue-sharing agreement with all the teams in the league to distribute income from ticket sales between large and small markets. The agreement was for revenue from regular seating, but each team did not have to share revenue from luxury suites. As a result, all of a sudden perfectly good stadiums just had to be replaced, and these new stadiums had smaller seating capacities (between 60-70 thousand) but a far greater percentage of those were luxury suites. This is why you find stadiums like So-Fi that can easily accommodate 100K or more, but for NFL games they purposefully limit seating to 72,000.
Addressing Office Bloke Dave's question and Daz's statement. So the Rams and the Chargers went from The Coliseum where The University of Southern California plays to SoFi . The Raiders moved to Oakland to Las Vegas. The coliseum is also where the Olympics used to be. I live 5 minutes from the Rose Bowl and it really is that big. When all 92k seats are full it is a thing to see, especially when the sun sets over the mountains during the 4th quarter of football games. You guys should check out the most beautiful college football stadiums when you get a chance. Also, I do not like the Rose Bowl slander from the narrator. The whole point of the Rose Bowl is the nostalgia hence the nickname "The Granddaddy Of Them All". So if people expect it to change anything other than the seats it wont. The Rams were supposed to play there but The Rose Bowl already exceeded the number of events the county allows it too have per year.
The Summer Olympics 2028 will also be held at the LA Memorial Colosseum. Opening and Closing ceremonies as well as other evens. Just as in 1932 and 1984.
Three large stadiums in one metro area. It’s like three Wembley stadiums with enough sporting events to support them. But in fact most the money isn’t made by operations, it’s made by increasing the value of the land. You make a mint when you sell it later or use the land to borrow money . The Rams it’s more correct to say moved back to LA. They started in Cleveland moved to LA in 46, moved to St. Louis in 1994 and moved back to LA a few years ago. So there are still lots of people who remember the Rams as the LA Rams. The Chargers only spent one year in LA their first year 1961 before moving to San Diego. So there are no connections to LA left. The rivalry, in sports and just as cities between LA and San Diego makes the move even more treacherous.
The Chargers didnt play in the coliseum, they played at dignity health sports park( home of the LA Galaxy) after leaving San Diego but everything else was correct.
Honestly, you guys are my favorites when it comes to react videos. You listen to each other, give each other a chance to talk, actually add meaningful, thoughful dialogue on every subject, and you're open-minded about many things, not saying anything rude or insulting. I love this channel keep it up!!!
I was at SoFi last Sunday, October 31st (yup! Halloween) to watch my favorite team the New England Patriots beat the LA Chargers and the stadium inside and outside is stunning! Couple of corrections guys. The Rams originally were a Cleveland team who moved to LA in 1946, then to St. Louis in 1994 for the 1995 season, returning to LA in 2015. The LA Chargers who moved from San Diego to LA in after the 2016 season were actually originally started in Los Angeles as an expansion team in 1960. They played one season in Los Angeles and moved to San Diego for the 1961 season where they stayed until their return to Los Angeles after the 2016 season to once again be the Los Angeles Chargers starting with the 2017 season. They returned to where they were originally born.
I remember when I was going to Hawaii and when the plane landed at LAX seeing this being built. Just from the air it looked amazing! I hope i can go see it in person for the world cup if Colombia makes it in.
They actually had to put the field 90 feet below ground level because the structure cannot be higher than about 90 feet due to being in the flight path of LAX. I can't imagine the drainage system they must have added to that place.
Hey guys. It is amazing how the stadiums are learning from little mistakes and glitches of the past. When the Astrodome was built and opened back in the 60s. One of the problems they had was that the grass died lol. Thus artificial "turf" was born, eventually named "astroturf". The problem with the surface was that it was like carpet on concrete. Turf toe injuries became a thing as well as turf burns. Among other injuries due to the rock hard surface. Another big problem they discovered was that in the brutal texas summer heat with people going in and out and doors being opened etc the hot air mixing with the a/c cooled air caused a problem they thought they would never have. The condensation that formed in the building was causing it to "rain" inside the stadium. They managed to work through these problems and the Astrodome was used for a number of years. It was at one time called the 8th wonder of the modern world. When the Dallas Cowboys new stadium was built just a few years ago, it was hyped as the greatest technologically sound stadium. The "amazing" huge 360 degree score board which hangs over the field was "state of the art tech. However they discovered that several of the leagues punters could and did hit the big board with their kicks. Grounds rules had to be written to handle that situation, much like some of the domed baseball stadiums have to do since girders and roof supports often impact the play of the game when pop ups make contact with them. By the way Daz was correct. The LA Rams were the LA Rams for years. When the St Louis Cardinals moved to Arizona the league allowed LA to move to St Louis. L. A. refused to build a new stadium so the Rams moved. They were enticed to move back by the new stadium being proposed. Pro sports leagues will often let a team move to another location, especially if that new city has lost their team or isn't supporting the team by attending games.
The capacity can be higher because the seats in the stands (in many sections) are build on a rail and can be squeezed together to create 1 or 2 more seats in every row. My source? I have LA Rams season tickets and also attended the Super Bowl there. When you sit at your seat, you can see the rail at the bottom of the row in front of you.
The United States is hosting a joint World Cup bid with Canada & Mexico in 2026, with the semifinal and final matches to be held at SoFi Stadium in LA. The city was also granted the 2028 Summer Olympics as mentioned, so no speculation. Part of the reason the city got these bids was the completion of this stadium and the surrounding development
I do not recall SoFi being chosen to host the 2026 Final whatsoever. I believe one of the stipulations of the bid is that MetLife Stadium in NJ gets the Final, no matter what new has been built. SoFi gets a semifinal more than likely; nothing more and even that’s a stretch. In terms of nostalgia and prestige, both Estadio Azteca and AT&T Stadium have the edge. This isn’t 1994. California can’t and won’t get everything...
One point the video didn’t cover were the lights on top of the stadium. The lighting system is so good, it could broadcast a game on top the roof, which can be seen by planes flying into LAX.
I was there a few weeks ago at a Rams game. That roof may block 50% of the sunlight but it was still hot AF in there! Next time I’ll try to go during cooler weather. 😂
I live near Sofi stadium and believe it or not , Los Angeles is a big sporting town ( we have 3 hockey teams ( the Los Angeles kings , anaheim ducks , San Jose sharks ) 2 universities ( Southern California and. Ucla ) 2 football teams ( the chargers and the 49ers ) the (cough cough ) national basketball association teams of the lakers and the clippers
@@faiththomas1749 49ers and sharks are like 350 miles away, i don't think they can really be lumped in with the la teams. That's like Baltimore claiming Buffalo, NY teams lol. But yes LA is a bigger sports town than it's perceived, and only going to get bigger in the coming years
An outdoor waterpark in the Los Angeles area is literally a slap in the face to everyone in that neighborhood. A waterpark in the middle of a desert is really a ridiculous thing when you think about it.
Face value for SB tickets last few years. Note how they go up every year. 2018- $2,500 (one general admission ticket.) 2019- $2,577 2020- $3,488... of course field level seats would be ten times as high and box seats are for the very rich. The price for 2021 is subject to change as game gets closer but right now is around $7,950 with the highest price for SB 55 at $40,000...
32 teams, 30 stadiums (lowest seating 61.5K). [Edit: Surprised you guys don't know WC in 2026 is in the USA (60 matches), Canada (10 matches) & Mexico (10 matches). Due to the withdrawal of a venue, Canada may be dropping a few matches; USA would pick them up.]
@@gordieparenteau6555 - Edmonton and Toronto will host games. 3 Mexican cities will host games. 16 U.S. cities were going to be trimmed to 10 hosting cities, but with Montreal bowing out as Canada's 3rd host city, an 11th U.S. city will replace it.
Hey guys let me break is down for you. The LA Rams were the Cleveland rams in 1936 thru 1945 they then moved to LA for the 1946 season and broke the color barrier 2 yrs before Jackie Robison played for the Brooklyn/LA Dodgers. They played in LA from 1946-1994 then moved to St. Louis from 1995-2015. The Rams came back to LA for the 2016 season. The chargers were the LA Chargers in 1960 but could not draw much crowd as they Chargers had to compete in the AFL the lesser league at the time somewhat a minor league league. They then moved to San Diego for the 1961 season. They stayed there with the merger of the NFL and AFL in 1970 and played in San Diego from 1961 to the 2015 season. Then they moved to LA with the Rams. The Oakland/LA/ Las Vegas Raiders were also a AFL team and played in Oakland from 1960 to 1981 then moved to LA from 1982 to 1994 then moved back to Oakland from 1995-2015 when they lost out on becoming another LA team and headed to Las Vegas for the 2016 season
Even more fascinating is the process and getting funding and actually building the stadium. It’s incredible. I watched it twice it’s on Discovery channel. Checkin it out
It was interesting to watch the construction of the stadium, in it's various stages. You tend to take this for granted when you live nearby, then you see the finished product and production/sales videos...
The Rams were in LA originally, went to St Louis, then came back to LA. The Chargers were in San Diego. While it’s true that the Jets and Giants share a stadium, they also split the proceeds. However, the Chargers are just tenets and don’t make any money off of the stadium like the Rams do. The Chargers are getting hosed. They should have stayed in San Diego. The Raiders used to be in Oakland, went to LA, then went back to Oakland, and are now in Las Vegas.
Hey Blokes! On days where here are no events at Sofi, there are year round tours of the stadium where you have full access to the field for as long as you want. $30 US dollars each person
LA Rams were in LA. 20 years or so years ago then moved to ST Louis, then recently moved back to LA. Chargers were in San Diego and moved recently to LA when San Diego would not build them a Stadium.
I don't know if you will see this comment. The Rams started in Cleveland 1936 until 1945. Moved to Los Angeles in1946 to 1994.(1980-1994 Played in Anaheim, Orange County). Left for St. Louis, Missouri 1995. Moved back to L.A. 2016. The Chargers (AFL- American Football League. NFL competition) was founded on August 14, 1959 played in L.A. for the 1960 football season. Moved to San Diego in 1961 until 2016. Returned to their city of origin Los Angeles 2017.
I live in south la and my old friend built their restrooms. I’ve passed by its great. From the top it looks like a horn for the team that plays there, the rams
Highly recommended: YT channel Wide World of Stadiums -- video on NFL stadiums. (Also recommended: their video on Pac-12 college football stadiums; other conferences may have ones seating over 100K, but Pac-12 are stylish and *gorgeous* settings.)
Just this month they had a weather delay at SoFi because of lightning, something that rarely happens in LA and it was on a national tv Monday night football game so it was embarrassing that a 5 billion dollar covered stadium had a weather delay.
Both teams are moving back to LA, but it is different for both. The Rams started in Cleveland, but were in LA from 1946-1994. They moved to St Louis for 20 years, before returning. The Chargers started in LA in 1960, but after the season they moved south a few hours drive to San Diego from 1961-2016. This site will also be home home to the LA Clippers as their Arena Intuit Dome will open in 2024. Both sites will be used for the 2028 Olympics. It looks like the Rose Bowl, not SoFi will be used in the World Cup.
Ok, since this vid came out they've had the Super Bowl at SoFi and Daz said he was going to be there. I need to know his reaction seeing the venue in person. Does he have a reaction vid?? Curious minds want to know...lol.
It's the same for the most popular teams in the NFL. As far as fanbase. They will most likely never move from the current city they inhabit. There are exceptions obviously. But teams don't move around as much as you think. The time in the NFL were teams were moving around alot was when the league was still getting established. It didn't matter back then as much, since players were not getting payed very much to play and teams were looking for cities to possibly find a good market for their team. But once a team finds a good city to setup, they tend to not move. There are teams in the NFL I would argue would never even think about moving at this point in their history. The only one I was a little shocked by, was the Raiders, just because of this history they had with that city. But I also get it from a financial perspective.
I live near the SoFi….So yes, it looks really cool at night… the lights and all that but, I hate it…. TRAFFIC IS SOOOOOOO BAD!!! Like BAD! getting home from a long day at work… it sucks! Not a lot of locals like the stadium 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
L.A. doesn't do a good job of traffic/pedestrian mitigation near stadiums and similar venues. Inglewood did a better job (many, many years ago), when Hollywood Park was still open. We'd drive by on racing nights & when there were events at The Forum and traffic moved pretty well. I'm talking about the '70's folks.
The Rams were in L.A. for decades before moving to St. Louis, so their recent return to L.A. is something of a homecoming. The Raiders originated in Oakland, moved to L.A., then moved back to Oakland, and just recently moved to Vegas. The Chargers played their first season in L.A. back in the 60s and had been been in San Diego ever since until their recent move up the coast to L.A. IMO it should have been the Chargers to move to Vegas with the Raiders moving back to L.A. since that's where most of the Raider fan base is these days.
Stan Kroenke, owns the former Hollywood park horse racetrack and with help of rich investors, financed this stadium, housing, retail, office complex. The stadium is likely 3 billion and 2 billion for everything else. The city of Inglewood gave tax credits x amount of years but didn't publicly finance this. Still the city will see more visitors spending money in local hotels, restaurants, shops, with 70,000 coming for sports, concerts, events in coming decades. Homes in Inglewood are $600,000 plus. Look on trulia. Some new built homes are in $800,000. Apartments areas are cheaper and less desirable parts. But gentrification is economically pushing poorer out. In ten years, Inglewood will be alright area. Instead of that notorious reputation it currently has.
Yeah, US sports franchises do move around - it depends on who owns 'em, & how good a deal they can get from which city. Devastating for fans when their team up & leaves, to settle in another part of the country. In my lifetime (I'm somewhere 1/2 way between Mike's age & Daz) I've seen my hometown NBA team (KC Kings) move to LA, & the NHL KC Scouts relocate to Denver (as the Rockies) then on to New Jersey (Devils). Also, more franchises come & go in various leagues than I can remember. St. Louis, on the far side of the state used to be home to the NFL Cardinals (now in Arizona) & the Rams (who came from LA, & are back in LA after 30 years), & now have no football teams.
