Madison Square Garden was renovated 10 years ago not 15. It’s not being replaced anytime soon despite some in NYC trying to force them to move because of a super expensive pipe dream to rebuild old Penn Station that the city & state can’t afford.
Wrigley, Fenway, and Dodger Stadium have become historical landmarks that should NEVER be torn down unless there’s truly no other way. Oracle, Petco, Coors, Camden, PNC, etc are so perfect that they should also be forever homes. People are catching on to how stadium lifespans are completely fabricated in order to force cities to pay for new stadiums. People are still distraught that we (unnecessarily) lost landmarks like Yankee I and Tiger Stadium.
I’ve been to Wrigley, Fenway, and Lambeau and if I’m going to be honest if nobody ever told me about Lambeau being as a old as it is I would think it is a fairly new stadium. Yes it has bleacher but this stadium is in pristine condition, and I bet it will be around until I pass away and beyond lol
Both Fenway and Wrigley will still be used as baseball stadiums in 2200. :D lol!! Both the Royals and Chiefs are wanting new arenas. Arrowheads days are numbered, as is the K (Royals)
The massive 1976 renovation ruined it. the renovation made the stadium look more modern but it aged terribly. the reason fenway and wrigley still stand is because they've never had that type of renovation, they keep the old architecture and look, the fenway renovation made it look like angel stadium or guaranteed rate field and both of those stadiums are now endangered... go figure.
no, If Fenway is ever demolished I will actually protest or something, it is quite possible one of if not the most iconic stadiums in American sports history I’m surprised this guy didn’t suggest tearing them down to build a ballpark district… because apparently, he thinks every stadium needs an entire district now because it worked in one place… Wrigley, Fenway, and Stadium have become historical landmarks that should NEVER be torn down unless there’s truly no other way. Oracle, Petco, Coors, Camden, PNC, etc are so perfect that they should also be forever at home I am not alone some People love me we are catching on to how stadium lifespans are completely fabricated to force cities to pay for new stadiums. People are still distraught that we (unnecessarily) MSG is definitely going away at some point in the next decade or so. It was very controversially built directly on top of Penn Station which is in dire need of significant renovations. The government owns the land that MSG is built on and just last year told them they have five years left I STRONGLY DOUBT IT. WHY EVEN DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE? NO WAY WOULD I ALLOW IT. I thought MSG was definitely going or at least the teams would have to find a new location. There’s no good place in Boston or its suburbs to put a new ballpark. Fenway is here to stay. WHO going to pay for a new stadium it’s not us taxpayers think about it Wrigley Field is still great don’t need to build a new stadium not legendary. Im actually surprised, that they haven't gotten a modern stadium already. I mean yes it's classic, but not in the same way as Fenway or Wrigley, because of how much newer it is compared to those two ballparks. And if they were going to try to renovate it and put a translucent roof on it then they miles well just build a new stadium at that point. Fenway Park & Wrigley Field are overrated! not your business can talk about in my Family okay that is my real not kidding is not a joke. Not my beloved Fenway and Wrigley!😭😭😭😭
Have you ever been to LA? It might be “hot” for a small percentage of day games but for the most part in the evenings, when most of the games are played, it’s cool. You keep pushing domed stadiums on LA but the truth is people in LA like to be outdoors because the weather is ideal.
Madison Square Garden could very likely be relocated soon. The arena sitting right on top of Penn Station is making it impossible to modernize the station. It's so imposing, that the support beams for the arena sit on the track platforms. The MTA, NJTransit, and Amtrak all came out together united and say that the arena and Penn Station are no longer compatible. There's also a grassroots movement called ReThinkNYC that's pushing to rebuild Old Penn Station with modern ammenities, and it's gaining popularity in the city. Community Board 5 actually forced MSG's recently renewed permit to be shortened from 10 years to only 5 years. Dolan wants a permanent permit, yet the previous 10 year permit was already a rejection of that, and the condition of that permit was that MSG was supposed to use those 10 years to find a new location so that the MTA could actually rebuild Penn Station to modern standards, yet Dolan and MSG are hellbent on refusing to cooperate. The railroads, transit activists, and even the residents of New York City are all putting the pressure on to MSG, so expect new arena discussions to start ramping up within the next 5 years. MSG's future is not as certain as most think.
there were 2 renovations of MSG, one in the early 90s, and then the one that happened in the early 2010s, which eliminated the in arena concourses and more sky boxes....i used to have season tickets to NYR, and the section i sat in prior to the 2010s reno was eliminated
Don't Wrigley and Fenway have national heritage or landmark recognition? Or at least some federal historical designation? As in they can't be torn down unless you change the law kinda thing. Cheers....
Being a National Historic Landmark does not mean it cannot be torn down. Being so designated doesn't mean the place will be protected indefinitely. Soldier Field was an NHL until its renovation 20 years ago when the designation was removed.
I don’t look for Wrigley Field to be demolished anytime soon at all, I’d hate to think of Major League Baseball without Wrigley Field, or even Fenway Park for that matter, I don’t look for that ballpark to be demolished anytime soon, I think it’ll be around for many more years to come
Dodgers Stadium will be torn down at some point within my lifetime!! As a hardcore Dodgers Fan, the stadium is somewhat outdated even after the remodeling! It might last another 20-30 years, tops!!
Dodger should be replaced. It's LA, need something flashy. Big and grand closer to downtown. Boston and Chicago can keep their obstruction beam view stadiums. But LA needs a palace like NY has
They'd have to do it just like Wrigley: Tear down one section of seats at a time and build new ones in the exact same place, while leaving the outer walls intact.
@@davidlafleche1142 Agree it will be a Wrigley type rebuild but they have to do something its getting beyond useable at this point, the park is historic but really just dreadful all around, bathrooms are a total health hazard alone.
MSG is definitely going away at some point in the next decade or so. It was very controversially built directly on top of Penn Station which is in dire need of significant renovations. The government owns the land that MSG is built on and just last year told them they have five years left
I would think in the future dodger stadium would be flipped around with the LA skyline in the background with a translucent roof..of oourse this would be WAY WAY down the road
Arrowhead is located in a middle of a sea of parking lots. Who cares what the exterior looks like. If it was located in an urban environment than the exterior would be a priority.
If Fenway is ever demolished I will actually protest or something, it is quite possible one of if not the most iconic stadium in American sports history
It may never be demolished but might be taken down to the studs and replaced that way. Its really getting outdated, the seats are tiny and there is no leg room at all, the bathrooms are a health hazards and the concessions are dreadful. Historic yes, good no.
I’m surprised this guy didn’t suggest tearing them down to build a ballpark district… because apparently he thinks every stadium needs an entire district now because it worked in one place…
He also thinks every stadium needs a translucent roof. Or they just need to relocate. Hes got half the league in every major sport relocating. He's a fucking fraud
Im actually surprised, that the dodgers haven't gotten a modern stadium already. I mean yes its classic, but not in the same way like Feenway or Wrigley, because of how much newer it is compared to those two ballparks. And if they were going to try to rennovate it and put a translucent roof on it then they miles well just build a new stadium at that point. As for Arrowhead, yeah i can see kc getting a new stadium. its kind of like dodge stadium in that its a classic stadium but not in the same way like Lambo is, because of how much newer it is. I don't see MSG going anywhere, because they spent a billion dollars in renovating it not to long ago. And there is no where to build a new stadium in the heart of NYC since it's so condensed. Unless you want to spend an arm and a leg to demolish other buildings to build a new MSG.
Dodger Stadium is, by far, the best maintained stadium in the world. The Dodgers have always done an excellent job of keeping it up. They don't need a new stadium.
They don’t need to replace dodger stadium, I do get what you’re saying though about it being iconic but not in the same way as Fenway or Wrigley, I agree. They’ve done a great job recently in updating the area immediately around and inside dodger stadium. People keep saying that dodger stadium is a shithole and I honesty don’t understand what those people want? It’s a 62 year old stadium and they’ve done a great job not compromising its original design. I do remember going as a kid and seeing the trough urinals and yeah those were weird, but they’re long gone now. I moved from L.A. about 8 years ago and last year I was finally able to make it back to dodger stadium and was truly shocked how different it looked to me. If they were going to do anything it would be adding some sort of way to get in and out faster because that still remains a problem. Currently it’s either your drive or take a shuttle from union station thats only about 1-1/2 miles away so you’re still technically driving into the area. That gondola they want to build isn’t gonna cut it.
The Dodgers would replace Dodger Stadium in a heartbeat if it was causing them to miss out on revenue, but the owners won't try to do anything until that is the case. Attendance is strong, they own all the parking, and the will be no shortage of corporate money for suites. Location isn't an issue, and it would be hugely expensive to buy enough land anywhere else in the LA area. When the Dodgers do build a new stadium, it will probably be on the same site, with parking garages instead of huge lots (like Apple Park in Cupertino), and they could sell off or redevelop the unused land around the stadium for even more revenue. The stadium isn't architecturally significant or historic like Fenway or Wrigley, most people probably couldn't tell you who plays there, so that probably won't be a factor in keeping it open.
If you grew up in MA like me, your first memory of an MLB game is that massive green monster and you never forget it. Definatly not overrated. I agree Tigers Stadium should have been saved. As well as the original Comiskey.
