The floor isn't there anymore. The arena floor was over the top of tunnels, but it's long gone. When you go inside the Colosseum now, you're looking down into the underground areas where fighters were prepped, animals were caged etc. Would still be rad if they could do it. And we could let McGregor get eaten by a bear or something
A Winter Classic would work with an aircraft carrier. Probably in New York or Boston where it's cold enough. Not in Chicago because ship traffic is usually shut down in the Great Lakes by December due to the locks having to close.
The Float at Marina Bay also hosted the ceremonies for the inaugural Youth Olympic Games back in 2010. They used that stadium since they couldn't use the much bigger National Stadium, as it was being demolished and rebuilt at the time the capacity's only 27,000 but the ceremonies and the Games in general were a success so don't judge a book by its cover
Not only that, a small portion of the F1 circuit passes in between the float and the stands, making a turn underneath the stands. It was the stage for a Dick Dastardly level cheating by Flavio Briatore and Nelson Piquet Jr for the benefit of Fernando Alonso
Singaporean here, this place will be torn down soon to make way for something similar, except it is circular, will still host events and has an indoor exhibition dedicated to our military. It was built in 2007 to hold our National Day Parade and concert (Think Independence Day with a patriotic concert). Except for a few years, the parade/concert has been held there since.
when i served in the navy, we had a charity sponsored relay marathon on top of our carrier with a bunch of teams going at once, so races while moving are definitely possible
I looked up photos but it's not actually underground it's in a mountain so still technically above ground it's really no different though Edit: nvm it is underground just under a mountain
Depends how much room for stands you need. Finland has several arenas underground, but most have no permanent seating for more than handful of spectators. In Turku, Varissuo arena has seats for 500 people and is 40 meters under ground.
I would love to see a whole Olympic complex built on sea. It's gonna have to be the size of at least a city district because it's also gonna have the Olympic village and good transportation system built on it. Also on the subject of outer space venues, I think racing is a possible candidate. Imagine race tracks on the Moon, on Mars, built around derelict space stations, built around another planet's satellite like Europa or in a hostile territory on Earth like the Antartic.
The trouble here with any ocean-bound structure becomes the effect of things like seismic tremors, hurricanes, tsunamis, or other similar natural disasters that could wipe out the entire thing. As for racing in Antarctica.... It's the one part of earth humanity has rather thankfully left rather untouched, and it's probably best we leave it that way since any commercial development would probably re-ignite a dead fire held in the Cold War about territorial claims. Sorry for being a debbie downer.
@@BullMuscleAg the problem is also the logistics of getting fans and teams there, (with no hotels for them), as well as food and trash in and out respectively, it would be so costly to do, ticket prices would be need to be astronomical and you’d never sell enough to make a profit.
I'm more on the side of bowling in a plane. The turbulence could make for some crazy split conversions or slips at the foul line. Better bring padding. Also, why not curling at the base or at a huge flat point on an icy cold mountain?
A totally insane idea is having a football game at Bristol Motor Speedway while a NASCAR race is going on at the same time. No way that is logically possible, but something to think about
I saw a recent video about Orioles Park at Camden Yards. One aspect about the ballpark is that Oriole Park at Camden Yards is 20 feet underground, which might explain why only Ken Griffey, Jr. Is the only player to hit the warehouse. If you add another, say, around 100 feet below ground, that could be an underground ballpark suitable for baseball. For the purpose of this video, you could also build an underground football Stadium or an arena for pro basketball/hockey.

The Global Wrestling Federation, a short-lived promotion based out of Dallas, Texas that ran from 1991 to 1994, allegedly had the idea of a Pay Per View on an aircraft carrier according to announcer Craig Johnson. It never happened, as all of their television shows were instead taped and took place at the Sportatorium in Dallas.
The Gerald R. Ford is not a Nimitz-class carrier. The basic outlines certainly share a number of similarities, but from a shipbuilding standpoint the Ford is regarded as the lead unit of a self-named class of carriers. (Originally scheduled for ten ships but reportedly reduced to four-five after the difficulties encountered with some of the vessel's experimental technology, as well as rumors that Huntington Ingalls lied about the true projected cost while bidding for the contract to build the ships.)

So when Boston had the insane idea of hosting the Olympics I decided that the only space in the city that could accommodate a full sized Olympic Stadium was a pumped out bay. Pleasure Bay near Castle Island to be exact. The idea was to pump out the sea water from the bay and then build a concrete bowl that could just be flooded after the games were over. A sunken stadium if you will. Would never fly with the environmental regulations but that was the only parcel large enough. (Why the Red Sox will be playing in Fenway forever and why the poor Revs will be the last MLS club in an NFL stadium.)
@@FivePointsVids well the parcel they had selected for the main stadium in their bid wasn’t big enough for a full sized Olympic Track so this idea was more an illustration of how insane the entire Enterprise was. Could do Winter Olympics just fine as a region though.
The underwater stadium would have to have a sign out front of it saying how many days it’s been since a “pressure accident.” One mistake transferring from the submarine to the pressure chamber to the stadium which would have to be pressurized would lead to a team in scuba gear having one of the darkest jobs in the world scraping up the human remains. Not to mention if anyone is standing outside the chamber if there’s a problem with the seal. Imagine your body being sucked through a one or two inch hole…it’s like playing with Play Doh and pushing it through one of those things that make it look like pasta when it comes out the other side.
YES! A baseball game on Mars would indeed be AWESOME because I'm not a funny man or a baseball geek but I know the homerun calls would be amazing and full of puns that we can't even imagine!
You technically could put a baseball field on an aircraft carrier, there is no regulation size to baseball fields. It wouldn’t be very far to one part of the field but it is still possible.
I know it's not a MLB stadium but we did have a baseball stadium on the Arkansas River here in Wichita, Kansas. From 1903 til 1930, it was called the Island Park Baseball Field on Ackerman Island.
5:02 When I was younger, this is what I thought the Tampa Bay Rays stadium was like. Their name is Tampa Bay instead of just Tampa, so surely their ballpark must be in the bay, right? Wrong. Super disappointing when I learned it was actually just an ugly gray dome
Bro, You missed the one ive been dreaming up. New Mets Stadium downtown NYC on top of a 30 Story building. 25 Stories of parking and shops. 4 floors of housing. Top Floor Stadium.
Other totally outrageous things, Untold: Crime and Penalties. No crazy stadium, just mafia and hockey. Also I think you can fit a soccer pitch on a SpaceX Landing barge. btw Norway built a hockey arena underground en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gj%C3%B8vik_Olympic_Cavern_Hall
Why did you use AT&T stadium or Jerryworld as an example. They had trouble with freezing rain in Superbowl in 2011. They had falling ice that caused seating issues. It caused injuries as well.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks. Small correction. The USS Gerald R. Ford is actually the first of the Gerald R. Ford Class of aircraft carriers. Not a Nimitz class ship. ☮
So... a baseball stadium on Mars would have to be about... 2-2.5 times larger, dimension-wise, otherwise every solid batting contact would result in a home run, just because of the gravity differential. The moon? More like 6x larger. You think that the games are 4 true outcomes only *now*. :P
The proposed replacement for Ebbets Field was going to be built across the street from where the Barclay’s Center sits (the Atlantic Terminal Mall is there now). Designed by Buckminster Fuller with a Geodesic dome roof (and would have been the first domed stadium if built), and seating for 52,000, but it had an outfield that was a perfect semi-circle so every part of the outfield was the exact same distance from the plate. It was supposed to cost “only” $6 million back in the 1950s… it got as far as a scale model (there’s a photo of Fuller lifting the dome up so Walter O’Malley can look inside), but Robert Moses kept saying no to that location, and tried to push the spot in Queens where Shea Stadium went, for a team called “Brooklyn”. 🙄
I wouldn’t doubt that there was an idea to put a football field on an aircraft character since there was an idea to build an aircraft carrier out of Pykrete (Wood and Ice). I’m being serious about that, it was called “Project Habakkuk”.
