Oakland arena actually holds quite a lot of concerts. I think that San Francisco as a market can definitely support two indoor arenas, also the Oakland arena is way easier to get to via BART or via car than Chase centre.
Went to say this..they actually building a baseball field where Fulton Co Stadium once stood. I think they can work their magic doing a renovation or if they demolish it, build a new one right there
The mistake with that was not making it a dome/retractable roof. That was why the new stadium was built and the old one converted to a football/soccer stadium.
Kansas City is actually getting a Pro Volleyball Federation team in 2025 and I’d imagine they will play at T-Mobile arena. Yeah it’s not NHL or NBA, but as a KC resident I’m just glad SOMEONE is finally moving in 😂 I’m actually very much looking forward to the PVF coming to KC!
I went to a concert at the old Turner Field a few years ago. The took everything baseball related down basically and it's super generic. Truist Park is so much nicer for baseball. Sightlines, etc.
Just because an arena doesn’t host a major league team doesn’t mean that it is vacant. The T-Mobile Center has already justified its existence as a major concert venue. If it eventually attracts an NBA or NHL team that would be the cherry on top, but even if it doesn’t it still will have served its purpose.
HIGHLY doubt Quebec gets that team back with how the NHL is approaching expansion. The Canadian dollar has put the country on the financial back burner for one, and 2, the NHL is more interested in expanding to untapped NHL markets (SLC, Houston, why they went to Vegas, etc), reason being because they want to grow the game. The Nordiques coming back, while sure would be returning a team to what certainly is a traditional hockey market, does not exactly grow the game, nor is a financially sound decision by the NHL due to the Canadian dollar, plus the NON-GUARANTEE of the Quebec City area consistently selling out the building so the NHL does make money in what is already a very small market (Winnipeg & Ottawa are having trouble filling their buildings, in traditional markets). The odds of Quebec getting their team back are almost completely zero, but MAYBE there’s an outside chance of their return… would be very surprised if it happened though.
I would have thought with the Warriors moving across the bay, the Oracle Arena site would have been a site to consider for a new A's stadium. The location is excellent form a standpoint of being able to get fans in before the game and out after the game (access to freeways and BART). It's also close to the Oakland airport. With the A's seemingly headed for Las Vegas, I see the Coliseum site as potentially one of the best development sites in Oakland that will be available in the foreseeable future. The key thing to consider would be seismic issues and whether there is a significant risk of liquefaction in the event of a major earthquake stronger than the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.
Those arenas can make money doing concerts and other events so usually are kept around until replaced. For example, Seattles arena for the Sonics did just fine for many years before being rebuilt for the NHL.
I doubt Oakland Arena goes as it hosts alot of concerts. The Bay Area is huge so having 3 arenas (Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose actually works for the Bay Area.
@depressedginger: Error in video: You've mentioned the XFL multiple times in this video. The XFL no longer exists. It merged with the USFL to become the UFL.
What’s up DG! I’m a resident of the DFW area. So what will happen if globe life park fails, it was designed back in the 90s of any sports failed in the stadium, they designed it to where globe life can be turned into condos or a add on to Texas Live
Camping World is not vacant. It is used for The Citrus Bowl and Pro Bowl among others. Monster Trucks etc. It was the home of UCF until they built the new facility. They completely rebuilt the stadium approximately ten years ago. Orlando built a Brand new stadium for the MLS team just blocks away. It isn't going anywhere.
@@LeCommieBoi when both leagues get their situation solved especially with the NBA tv deal negotiations is next month. Which conference is Kansas City gonna be in East or west? I say east because of the connections with Cavs and pacers.
The videotron centre will get a CEBL team (Canadian professional basketball league). It draws around 7,000 to 10,000 fans per game. Plus I think the Quebec should lobby for an NLL team.
Depending how the UFL goes this year. It's plausible they extend at team back to Orlando. Which would then play at Camping World. Florida is too ripe of a market for them to stay out of it for long.
You mention St. john Arena, former home of Ohio State Basketball, then you mention St. Johns basketball playing some home games here and the others at Madison Square Garden. That is 2 different teams and locations.
Sorry, but I think you are not very informed about the Georgia State stadium. I like your videos but this makes me wonder if you need to spend a little more time on research. State was previously at the Georgia Dome which was far too big for them - even the renovated Turner Field is too big given the tiny crowd when I went there last fall for their game against JMU. But they picked up Turner Field when the Braves moved to the suburbs and the conversion is perfect for their needs as a Group of Five program. Far from them leaving that stadium, my guess is that it is highly unlikely that will happen. They are involved in a lot of mixed used development that is transforming the surrounding neighborhood. So many of the old Turner Field and, even going further back, Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium parking lots are being redeveloped. There is brand new retail that has opened in the last 18 months or so on the opposite corner from the stadium. New housing has been built in the immediate vicinity and I just read an article on Urbanize yesterday that more just north of the stadium is being planned. They built their brand new basketball arena on the far end of the old Atlanta Fulton County stadium lots on the road that leads to the downtown. And there are plans to redevelop the old Atlanta-Fulton County stadium footprint into a new State baseball and softball complex. I think it is highly, highly doubtful they would abandon Turner Field and they likely do not have the funds to tear it down and build a new stadium of similar size when Turner is very functional. In fact, the delay in the baseball/softball complex is reported to be due to a lack of funding. Also, there is the potential to host other events there. Drum Corps International has moved its annual Atlanta show to State. And there have had high school playoffs that have used the facility, though the state title games moved back to Mercedes-Benz this past fall.
I mean, there is nothing wrong with repurposing stadiums to save materials from being wasted. Like so what if its not perfect, its history.. younger people don't get that much
I think its embarrassing for the league to be okay with the Coyotes playing in a 5,000 seat arena and be a clearly money hemorrhaging organization for years and years, yet let Quebec City which would be like another Winnipeg with a strong fanbase and passion for the game sit with an empty new arena.
Meadowlands arena is being used as a sound and television stage for NBC. The old Winners Club Lounge is now a regional HQ for the state police. The NJ Sports Hall of Fame is still in the Box Office and not open to the public unfortunately. The New Jersey Hall of Fame is set to open soon across the street at the American Dream mall, I would propose all the plaques from the NJ Sports Hall of Fame be moved to the new site at the American Dream
1) You intro the video as stadiums around "the united states", then talk about an arena in Quebec. 2) Half of these "vacant stadiums" have tenants. Do better.
