We give our opinion on which is the best stadium in each and every state in the USA. Obviously it is purely subjective, and at times arbitrary (literally a coin toss). Thanks for watching!
One of the fun facts about LSU’s Tiger Stadium is that student dormitories were built into the stadium (obviously underneath the stands) and we’re in use until the 1980s. After that, some of the old dormitory rooms were used as office space until about 5 years ago. Imagine the hassle of living under a football stadium!
That is weird but I discovered courts underneath a basketball coliseum in Balanga City, Bataan, Philippines. To be fair, most events in the coliseum happens at night while the court hearings are in daytime.
Crazy to see isotopes park represented here after watching all these vids about distant stadium’s. It’s a five minute walk from my house. Cheers for the representation of each state and thanks from New Mexico.
It’s crazy that you watching a video about a stadium and there’s a stadium 5 minutes from your house😂 do live there cos you like stadiums or it was just a coincidence?
@@worstgamer1162 the stadium is close to the university that I attend, I moved to be closer to the school being near the stadium was just a bonus. I do love stadiums though
Amazing video. You definitely put a lot of work into this! Could you please make a video of the 2. Bundesliga in German Football/Soccer? It is a nice mix of some big arenas with over 60.000 seats mixed up with small and cozy stadiums. It would be great to see these combined with your iconic sense of humor.
As a Nebraskan, I would’ve given it to TD Ameritrade Park because of the modernity, the atmosphere, and the design, but it is hard to argue with the bigger stadium. I appreciate all your research that went into this
How dare you! LOL! I'm getting vibes from you that you're not a native Nebraskan as there is only one stadium that rises above the rest and that is the one featured in this video. It's not about size either. This is the same one that has sold out since the early 60s.
The Isotopes Park for New Mexico is a solid choice, but as a New Mexican I’d urge you to take a look at the Bulldog Bowl in Artesia, mind you it’s a high school football stadium, or the Pit where the UNM Men’s and Women’s basketball play. Both are incredible venues as well, but awesome video!
I agree with Frawley Stadium in Delaware, but I've always been in awe of the mammoth noisy "Dover Downs" speedway in Dover DE, which holds close to 100K spectators for racing events. Combine with the fact that you often see giant airplanes from nearby Dover AFB, and you've got quite a slice of Americana.
Indiana should have been the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It has like 250,000 seats. It's the world's largest sporting venue. But he only cares about football and baseball And yes It should have been Dover Motor Speedway for Delaware.
Fun fact: Barrow experiences 30 days of night annually. On one occasion it was attacked by a horde of marauding vampires. Ouch! And, although I'm a North Easterner, I am very impressed with the Vegas Raiders behemoth of a stadium. Wow! Youre gonna get exploded! Lol. Good stuff, m8. As always, excellent content on your part, sir. Lol. Cheers!
I love these videos. They are interesting and simple, but also very relaxing. Although my wife doesn’t quite understand why I like to watch videos of stadiums being ranked…🤔🙌🤣
Love your channel and this has been my favorite video so far. I really like how you mixed between football, soccer and baseball stadiums. The only disagreement I have with this video it's how you didn't give it to the Broncos Stadiums. Even though I'm not a football fan, I find Broncos and Chiefs stadiums the most beautiful stadiums without a roof( my humble opinion).
I moved to NC fourteen years ago and am a huge sports fan. Love your channel and have seen every video, so it surprised me that you chose BankAmerica over the Durham Bulls Athletic Park or even Kidd Brewer at App State. Not as many amenities, but cooler looking and better views.
For North Dakota, you should have gone with the Ralph Engelstad Arena. It's a hockey arena, not a stadium, but it's still the most impressive sports venue in the state. And even though it's the home of a college team, and doesn't have the capacity of an NHL arena, it is constantly praised, even by the likes of Wayne Gretzky. Another stadium of note would Newman Outdoor Field. While it's small even by minor league standards at just over 4,000, but it is a beautiful little ballpark and the games always have a fun atmosphere.
Fun fact: when it opened, comerica park had a longer distance to left field and the bull pens were behind right field. They eventually brought in the left field wall, moved the bullpens, and put new seats where the old bullpens were only a couple years after opening due to criticism
Cool channel idea. I like watching your videos and flying over stadiums you introduce me to, on flight simulator. For some reason though, Cathy Parker Field is not in MSFS 2020 even though the maps were based on how the world was in 2014. To my knowledge, that stadium should have been built by then.
As a Tennessean, the best stadium without a doubt is Neyland Stadium in Knoxville. This is more fact than opinion. I’ve been to both numerous times. It’s in the 100k club as you mentioned, on a college campus, right on the Tennessee River where people boat to the games, located Downtown, giant brick arched entrance, and your in the foothills of the Smokies, which is a gorgeous setting for fall football. On top of all that, there’s even a mortuary under the Stadium lol
Ahhh but you’re wrong. Luton Town’s stadium Kenilworth Road is the worlds greatest sporting arena. They call it the Vatican of football. And Luton isn’t at all a bad place to live. Especially if you like being stabbed and stuff.
My fellow Tennessean, Geodis Park is now the indisputable best stadium in the state by a fairly large margin. At least until the new Titans stadium is built.
So glad that you chose RES for Utah. I completely agree. It is in a beautiful location in the Salt Lake Valley as to overlook the valley below it. Also, it has the best team in the state. Go Utes!
I love the architectural style of Lucas Oil ***so much*** more than the bizarre ass billion dollar spaceships that every new stadium has been for the past 10 or so years. They're soulless boxes closer to hotels than stadiums and the weirder ones will age terribly. Stadiums like Lucas Oil are timeless.
@@HeelBJC I strongly suspect the design was inspired by the longstanding fieldhouse-style arenas that are common in the state. At least two originals are within the city limits: Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler University, and the Fairgrounds Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. When the Pacers built a new arena (Bankers Life Fieldhouse), they took inspiration from the old fieldhouses. It's hardly surprising that the Colts did the same with theirs. The older fieldhouses have a timeless look about them. Indianapolis recognized this when they built their latest sports facilities.
@@GuyIncognito575 I've been to both. Hinkle is a nice enough place, and I loved watching Butler's basketball games there. But Lucas Oil blends the old and the new, and where you see it as "bloated", I see it as a good homage to the classic architecture. We have our opinions, and I can definitely see where you're coming from preferring Hinkle, but I still prefer Lucas Oil Stadium.
Great video! But hard disagree on Nissan Stadium for Tennessee! At least in terms of actually watching a game, the way Neyland is built puts most fans on top of the action closer than Nissan (despite the much larger size of Neyland). Also, the view from the concourses by the Tennessee River are beautiful. Also, I’ll add that in Neyland there are classroom buildings actually inside of the structure of the stadium, which is a cool little addition.
I've been to Children's Mercy Park (aka Sporting Park). It is as nice as advertised. As is (New) Busch Stadium. Also, Ohio as the "Gozaimasu State." As a Japanese speaker, I love it.
State Farm Stadium also includes a retractable field. It does so in order to get as much as the Arizona sun as possible...during the non summer months!
the blue rocks Delaware stadium is actually a lot nicer than what the google pictures show since they are old. They updated the scoreboard and made it look better and they also added a bull pen in right field in the outfield right there. it looks pretty nice. they also repaved the parking lot behind the outfield too. i think it is deserving of this award.
You were talking about the view of the Gateway Arch from Busch Stadium when you came around to Missouri but if you're ever in that area, you should go check out the view of the stadium from inside the top of the Arch
I think this video is absolutely fantastic. You have done your research! However, I should voice where I disagree. SafeCo Field (now known as T-Mobile Park), is a much better field than Lumen field in Seattle. Lumen field may be loud, but SafeCo field has an incredibly unique retractable roof, as well as great views of the Seattle skyline! Lumen Field doesn't have a great skyline view from the seats, even though the skyline is nearby. edit: grammar
Man!! How do you not pick the Ralph Engelstad Arena for North Dakota? Best college hockey arena and atmosphere. Also I’d take the Fargodome over the Alerus, but great video. I enjoyed it!
The South endzone is highly coveted in Vaught-Hemingway Stadium (Mississippi). It was a rowdy student section until the students were moved to the North endzone in I believe 2016 (to open up premium seating for boosters). Now the students are left to bake in the direct sun during games and most don't show up if it's not a big SEC matchup.
the large wall of windows in US Bank Stadium were actually the five largest pivoting doors in the entire world at the time of construction, allowing the team to open up that entire side of the stadium to the natural elements, permitted good enough weather to warrant doing so.
MassHole here... I'm probably in the minority here but I love TD Garden. Something about it being close to the Zakim bridge and the way it sits on sort of the edge of the city, welcoming all who pass by is magical to me
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD EVERYTHING!!! I 100% disagree on the Mississippi stadium! Davis Wade Stadium is by far the best stadium, home of the Mississippi State Bulldogs Hail State
I would give Maine to Alfond Arena. The Student section is right above the visiting teams goalie, and let me tell you, the UMaine student section doesn’t hold back. Also the roof design is pretty cool, especially when you consider it was built back in the 70s
Hate to tell you this......Minnesota may claim 10,000 lakes versus Michigan's Great Lakes, but Michigan actually has over 11,000 lakes besides the 4 Great Lakes that connect to the state......
Minnesota - I love US Bank Stadium and that's my choice too but Target Field is no slouch. TCF Back Stadium (now Huntington Bank Stadium) is also pretty nice but since majority of the stadium is still bleachers I'd put it third.
