Vikings fan here but absolutely love Arrowhead. I have been to Lambeau for a Vikings Packers game which is always intense but I will say Arrowhead is my favorite stadium I have been to in terms of atmosphere. I understand we’re rivals with the Packers so that might have something to do with it, but Chiefs fans welcomed us to open arms and invited us to pregame tailgates which I find very cool. Respect the Chiefs fan base and Chief Kingdom. Great experience!
@@brendanmayhew6280 I'm thrilled you enjoyed your experience in KC. I've heard a lot of former players claim it was the hardest stadium to play in on the road. It's got a college atmosphere.
@@ronniesorter1888 I miss when they played the Border War/ Border Showdown of Missouri/Kansas at Arrowhead. Wish they would bring a college football game to that stadium per year. Maybe down the line put like the Redbox Bowl or the Cheez-It Bowl at Arrowhead. We may be a NFL town in KC but that doesn't mean we don't appreciate NCAA Division 1 football.
Soldier Field might not even be in the NFL in the far future, though. The Bears organization is supposedly looking around the Chicago area for locations that could be used for a larger, possibly indoor, stadium. With that, the Bears could probably seat more people with more amenities than Soldier Field, as well as earn more money because the team would own it. In the end, I think it’s the fact that the team really wants to earn more money for better players, coaches, and owe less to the city that the Bears would be leaving Soldier Field.
@@brendanmayhew6280 thats that good old Midwest hospitality for ya.. As a KC fan I compete agree. I remember going to the metrodome as a kid lol. Super nice fans up in the twin cities ✌️
Major props for all of the love you gave our stadium (and our state), here in Indianapolis, Indiana. Excellent work on knowing the history of stadiums and arenas in Indiana and how Lucas Oil carries some of that tradition, as well. I absolutely love your channel!
@@akunamatatalopez3963 that would a dream come true for me, my friend. The FIFA World Cup is my favorite sports event in the world, and is likely the only way I will ever be able to attend a match at one.
Giants Stadium at the Meadowlands currently holds the record of most NFL games hosted which would eventually be passed by MetLife Stadium. However previously that record was held by Lambeau Field and before that it was Wrigley Field.
@@B-A-L It's a culture thing I guess and different types of architecture as well. While soccer fans like roofs over their heads, many American Football fans here in US love to watch games under the snow. For example packer fans and Boston fans are one example. I'm not from USA and I've lived almost all my life here, but I can tell you College stadiums and NFL stadiums are georgeous, even the ones without roof. For example FedEx field its supposed to be the worst stadium according to everyone, but in my opinion I think it's a great stadium. Imagine the worst NFL stadium can hold 80,000 people and has 243 executive suites. Not bad I would say! I got to admit though that some NFL stadiums like Jacksonville, Nissan stadium, Bank of America, San Francisco, Tampa Bay, Baltimore would look even better with roofs but are still comfortable, huge and have very beautiful architecture nonetheless. Meanwhile, other stadiums like the packers, Kansas, Broncos, Boston are just georgeous the way they are. It will be interesting to see the future of NFL stadiums though considering the newer ones like Sofi, Atlanta, Minnesota, , Indiana, Las Vegas, Glendale AZ, Dallas are just architectural marvels in my opinion. NFL stadiums are really amongst the best in the world and that opinion comes from someone that's not even a big fan of American Football, and like I said before; I'm not even from United States.
I remember sitting high up at Heinz Field after remnants of Hurricane Ivan hit and watching entire piers still attached to boats floating down the Allegheny River.
I like it, here is one stadium where they do need a roof, and they did a good job of it, for less than half the cost of Kronke's technological palace of ego. it's weird, the rams and raiders have such a unique history. rams played for 50 years at the old LA colosium, then they moved to anaheim, then the raiders move into rams home, then the rams moved to stank louis, then the raiders moved back to oakland, where they belong, then both the rams and raiders wanted to move back to LA. The rams won that battle, now the raiders move to las vegas. crazy stuff, but of any city, I think it's a good fit for them. too bad the morons of oakland could not come up with a cool stadium there for them.
Allegent Stadium had to be crazy amazing and it is! Las Vegas knows how to build a spectacular building and their first NFL Team Stadium is no exception!
Something I think you can appreciate about Lambeau Field. Given the fact it is almost entirely surrounded by residential neighborhood most attendees pay residents $10-25 to park their car in a front or back yard. Often, they will tailgate before games with the home's owner. This tradition plus the game time experience in the stadium as a celebration type atmosphere really makes shine the fact the Packers are the only publicly owned football team. Owning property near Lambeau Field is almost as coveted as season tickets, which has a waiting list 30+ years long. New parents have been known to put their children on the waiting list when born lol
Paul Brown Stadium is similar to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Both stadiums built around the same time with closely architectural designs. I like them both.
FYI, if you look carefully at the layout of Arrowhead Stadium and Kauffman Stadium (baseball) at the Harry S Truman Sports Complex, they aligned both stadia in such a way that a rolling roof that would stand like a giant roof on stilts could be moved over either stadium in case of inclement weather. When the facility was conceived in the early 1970s, such a rolling roof would have cost the grand sum of $1,000,000. That roof was never constructed, sadly. There has been talk again about building that roof, but the cost has soared astronomically, and it likely will not be built. It's more likely that entirely new stadia for both teams would be built instead, either within the complex or closer to downtown Kansas City.
I like the Gary Snails. I live 20 minutes each of there. The Bears even considered moving to Gary in the 90’s before Solider Field was renovated. It’s only 45 minutes away from downtown Chicago.
I love it. Okay, from what I've heard from the Buffalo news outlets, Highmark is pretty likely to get a new stadium built in its parking lot relatively soon; the owners say it'll be open-air for the home field advantage (the winds are INSANE in that building), but I think it's because they need to save costs; Buffalo is kind of a depressed economy at the moment. Also, I will always call it the Ralph after its interim name, Ralph Wilson Stadium.
@@Knightmessenger That's best, but they need to figure out the infrastructure. They're talking 1.1 billion for a new stadium, smallest in the league and open-air, in a place that already supports stadium traffic on Sundays. Can they build the off-ramps and parking garages needed to put in a stadium into a place that doesn't have one, or else up the parking for a place that has two definitely smaller pro sports facilities? (I've heard they _rejected_ Canalside as a location long ago, and looking at it I can see why, I don't see _where_ a 60k seat stadium can fit near Keybank and Sahlen.)
@@cypher515 if you put a stadium downtown alongside a transit line, you dont need as much parking on site, and adding freeway ramps can make traffic worse. I think it's foolish to spend a billion dollars to put a new stadium in the same place. If the bills want to stay in orchard park, i cant imagine how it wouldn't be cheaper to just renovate their current one.
@@Knightmessenger because Highmark has been renovated multiple times and the upper deck is starting to develop structural issues that, while won't cause it to fall or collapse immediately, will need to be replaced. It's just getting to the point that a new stadium will be less expensive than upgrades and renovations every few years.
Agree with these two but being a a Vikings fan and Minneapolis resident US Bank Stadium is amazing. It’s not as crazy looking but we have a great atmosphere!
I like your take on these stadiums, thanks. Tampa Stadium's Pirate Ship is actually active at home games. The cannons go off if the home team (the Bucs) scores a touchdown or a field goal. With a touchdown it fires six times. With a field goal, three times. Fans love it or hate it. The Jacksonville Jaguars actually don't have swimming pools, but saunas. These are usually heated during the game like saunas usually are and fans can hang out in them.
From the stadiums with no roof I really like the Broncos, the Chiefs and packers stadiums. They are gorgeous. Wish both the Chiefs and the Broncos stadiums get chosen for 2026 World Cup!
The Lions will be a good team next season as they ended the 2022 season with like 5 straight wins scoring over 30 points per game and they even knocked the Packers out of the playoffs in the last weekend of the season.
@CONSOLETRUTH2 they were 8-2 in their last 10 games. But I don't think they ever won 5 straight last season. That aside, I do agree with you. The Lions finally look like they have everything necessary to keep moving up. My comment was more about their historical trend of losing and not having good management even when there were talented teams. After 3-13-1 in 2021, there wasn't much reason to feel extremely confident like there is now.
Schalke, a German soccer Club, also has a stadium featuring a retractable roof as well as a field tust can be rolled in and out. So the one in Arizona is not the only one... Love your content, though! Much love
He didn't say it was the only as the next stadium, Alligent Stadium in Las Vegas, also has a rolling field but he said they were the only 2 in the NFL with a rolling field and are amongst a very few num er in the world
I haven't been following the NFL as closely lately living abroad and watched this to get caught up to date on the stadiums. When you showed Fed Ex field I was genuinely confused. I thought the stadium was entirely under ground. You got me.
Heads up, The Chicago Bears purchased the Arlington Heights land which is a suburb of Chicago, they are planning to move there which is 25 miles away from Solider Field, they are still waiting for the deal to be completed which should be around 2022-early 2023 and by then they should start construction. The new stadium should be built by 2026 (all estimates)
I'm biased but it is. Absolutely gorgeous in the inside too. The tall glass windows are such a nice touch and translucent panel gives it really good lighting.
The seating behind the north endzone in Seattle is called the "Hawks Nest". One of the rowdiest sections in the NFL. All metal bleachers that make A LOT of noise on gameday. The stadium security doesn't spend much time in that area as it is pretty much no rules.
Gary Snails, the Browns and Detroit! Wow! Good stuff. Fun fact, Detroit gave 2 of the greatest Americans of the last century: Axl Foley and RoboCop! Very cool episode. Keep it going!
1:20 - 'Only stadium in the world with a retractable roof' WOW ain't that something truly a technological marvel. We certainly could never have anything like that on a stadium where I live in Cardiff...
Arthur McBride was the owner of the Cleveland Browns. Paul Brown was the head coach/general manager and co-founder. Paul Brown has never been listed as an owner of the Cleveland Browns
US Bank stadium, home of the Vikings is an awesome stadium. When you are there for day games, it is like being in a cathedral. So much light comes in. If they ever upgrade, they should make some of the windows stained glass. That would add to the football cathedral effect even more.
You forgot to mention he ketchup bottle at the top of the video board, and the stadium was used in The Dark Knight Rises movie where Bayne Blows up the stadium and city
Raymond James Stadium reminds me of a pirate ship from the inside! 6:17 US Bank Stadium wins the Natural Light Challenge 7:45 Lucas Oil Stadium is my vote for best retractable window omg look at that view!! 9:39
the nicest thing about giants stadium is how accessible everything is. i was able to get from the 2nd tier to outside to smoke in under 2 mins. big wide open hallways with stairs everywhere, it was very convenient. they also have a train that goes right to the stadium so traffic isnt terrible after a game like most stadiums.
I remember wanting upper level escalators at M&T Bank Stadium and was told that I was “lazy”, even that they immediately next seazon installed at Bank of America after someone died of a heart attack climbing ramps. When they renovated the stadium in Baltimore, they installed banks of escalators to the upper level and new video boards.
My favorite stadiums are State Farm, Allegiant, Ford Field, Arrow Head, Lucas Oil, NRG, Mercedes Benz, Empower Field, AT, and T, and the Atlanta stadium....
One thing about Alligent Stadium in Vegas, it was nicknamed the Death Star which is a bit ironic ecause the UNLV college football team plays there and they are called the rebels and if you remember the first STAR wars film, it was a group of REBELS that DESTEOYED THE DEATH STAR!!!
State Farm Stadium is lowkey a Top 5 NFL stadium of All-Time 1) TCU vs Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl 2) NY Giants vs Patriots SB 3) NFC Championship 2009 4) Oregon vs Auburn 5) Seahawks vs Patriots SB 6) Hail Mary Rodgers & Larry’s Run 7) Clemson vs Alabama championship game 8) Hail Murray 9) It’s got a retractable roof 10) Go Cardinals 🏈🌵
Yes they were. The Browns were originally a member of the All American Football Conference that lasted from 1945 to 1949. The Browns were founded by Paul Brown who was the owner and coach. When the AAFC folded the Browns were absorbed into the NFL along with the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Colts; who later became the Indianapolis Colts. I found it annoying that the narrator really believes that the Browns were named after a cartoon character, if he was joking he could have stayed that. Otherwise this is an interesting video.
Possibly named after the color of streak the city left on the US.. Blessed I don't live in such a place.. when the cavs won people were shooting people and tearing shit up. I knew then that place had no soul and no god will save it. I feel sorry for all the people that have to live there and deal with that
FedEx Field use to look better before reducing capacity which rendering it UGLY beyond measures, they really need a new stadium along side the Bills of course, However the stadium still look great when compared with other staduims outside the NFL Met life Roof would have cost 400 million dollar and not 50
@@thetoptige8014 The residents in Southeast DC doesn't want a stadium there. I know it we be practical but Snyder is gonna want his "own" complex. Plus, Loudon, Virginia wants WFT to move there
Caesar's Entertainment (as in Caesar's Palace) has bought the naming rights to the Superdome. Oh, and you need to update your interior shots of the Dome. Tulane hasn't played there in almost 10 years.
