What happened to these MLB Stadiums? 

He didn't mention RFK tho lol

Mike C do me a favor, go to 1:37 and tell me what that says

@@Sacksalot my finger must've skipped past it the first time I saw it lol

yeah it is for all my rat boys!!! i got that joke from emkay

@MANCHESTER UNITED bet

Michael McLain the chair is on the wall of the log flume ride

I've been there at the Mall of America. Craziest thing I saw there was a shop selling Packers merchandise. I saw it with my own eyes, and it's still hard to believe...

All2Meme youd be surprised how much packers fans are tolerated along the river alot of the bigger towns and cities(10k or more) have at least a viking and packer bar. However go to up in the deep north and around bemidji, st cloud and brainerd and wear green and gold and you'll get your ass kicked

I love that places do this sort of stuff. I was actually doing some research on the Polo Grounds in Harlem last week. I didn't know that it was literally across the Harlem river from Yankee Stadium, nor that at one time the Yankees, Giants, and even Columbia University all played there for several years. In fact, that's where the Yankees first noticed Lou Gehrig who was playing for Columbia as a pitcher and first baseman, in weekend afternoon games prior to Yankees' and Giant's weekend games. Sad thing here is that the only remains of the Polo Grounds is a starwell leading down from the old el-train station and a plaque marking home plate on the outside of one of the housing project buildings. That plaque has been nearly destroyed by vandals over the years. Ebbet's Field has even less. Just a plaque marking home plate in an obscurred location within the apartment lobby.

@@sominboy2757 I would have thought wearing Packers gear anywhere in Minnesota would result in a beat down...

I mean, dual-use stadiums were never really a good idea to begin with.

jimbo 2346 they built them to save money. Why build a baseball stadium, football stadium and a concert venue when you could smack astroturf on it, repaint it depending on the sport/take off the astroturf for a concert? Unfortunately they were built cheaply with materials later to be known to be dangerous to health(asbestos and lead paint especially) and werent taken care of so they deteriorated at twice the rate.

I wouldn't go that far.

@@SynysterGoose your mother went that far

@@coreyperdue1966 cool

The only thing I didn’t like about shea was if you got sat in the upper deck you were so far from the field, you needed binoculars.

I saw my first game there. I hate not being able to return to that venue, and yes, I liked the design too.

It was ugly, but it was our beautiful ugly.

I loved Shea Stadium!!!

Jets LOST IT when they left Shea! They had some advantage in that cold swirling bowl-They had nothing in NJ ever since!

28-3 haha

Fuck the Patriots. Cheating MF’s!

@@BuddWolf You're an idiot. If the Falcons had ANY class, they would not have blown a 28-3 second half lead. Face it, chump: Cheating had nothing to do with the Falcons' CHOKE JOB. They got their asses handed to them.

@Charles C fuck Atlanta too. That doesn’t mean N.E. aren’t cheaters, besides, the Falcons did choke, I never disputed that. N.E. has been caught multiple times over the years. They cheated against the NY Jets for Christ’s sake. How low can ya go. Besides, it must be a Boston and Houston thing. They can’t win straight up without a horse💩edge. Videos and garbage cans🤨 give me a break. IDIOT🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@chatman2a Kyle shanahan is to blame. He was OC for the Falcons that lost that huge lead and head coach of the niners when the Chiefs came roaring back in last year's super bowl.

That didn’t leak. It died

Lucas Milligan 2010, roof leaked and broke. 2013 stadium demolished

It collapsed and deflated multiple times, as early as ‘81.

PG13hockeyman what about the MOA

Tyler Sharp Met Stadium was before the dome so he just did what was around recently

M Detlef Betting on the sport isn’t cheating taking roids and using other things is

@@humdinkle technically steroids weren't against MLB rules during the so called "Steroid Era". They were illegal in the US but not in professional baseball.

@@thomasdemay9805 and professional baseball was played in the US...

That's cool. Pete Rose didn't cheat and should be in the hall of fame as a player. Still banned for life as a manger though.

1951 has you covered. Postwar, but before any of the classic 16 AL and NL franchises moved. So you've got Braves Field in Boston and Griffith Stadium in DC to add to your list.

Steve Roberts, how could anyone forgot such an important part of the history of that fantastic baseball stadium in Denver...

The Drive was in Cleveland not The Fumble,as mostly lifelong Broncos fan who grew up 20 minutes from The Old Mile High Stadium(and really The Newer now named Broncos Stadium) both are very cherished childhood memories!!!

The Drive was at the Muncipial Stadium cuz my parents were there, but the Fumble was in Denver.

I’ve been there! It’s so cool to see and the apartments are gorgeous as well

@@eightmilesports Take a good lo at the back walls of the apartments beyond the outfield fence. They may be "gorgeous" inside (and I hope they are) but their back walls are an eyesore, starting with their color.

His thirst for THICC structures will never be quenched.

This is the second video I have watched that says that - and has ticked me off. What's worse, you get mixed results when doing a Google search. The Wikipedia entry even has multiple locations on the page.

How do they mess this up??? I was going to comment right after this part. Glad you did. Go Broncos. Sorry Browns. (Not really)

@@joemeehan9329 Forget Wiki, all you have to do is find the Ernest Byner video clip. Browns are in their all white road unis and the Mile High faithful go apeshit when he does fumble. Not hard to figure out where the location was.

I have a seat from the original NAVIN FIELD! most assuredly someone sat on it and saw TY COBB play!!!!

Robert Ewalt *1903. It is believed the New York Highlanders played as the Baltimore Orioles from 1901-1902, (not related to the current Baltimore Orioles who were the Milwaukee Brewers in 1901, and St. Louis Browns from 1902-1953).

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully it will be on the NFL one

@olemissfan91 The Video is about former MLB stadiums. So that's why I asked.

It looks like he left out stadiums that are still used in some capacity. As mentioned, The Aztecs still play there, there is a bowl game there, it was used by the AAF this year and a new soccer team is moving in as well.

I was waiting the whole video to see if Sicks would be mentioned. Even though I was born and raised in Central PA, for some reason I was a Pilots fan. It got even stronger after I read Ball Four by Jim Bouton though by then they were the Brewers.

It's my understanding that the Orioles' Boog Powell (yes, the BBQ guy) hit the only inside-the-park home run of his career there, thanks to the ball's getting stuck in the fence

was wondering why that wasn,t even given a mention?

the dollar grandstand seats had the roof so stayed dry when rained

@@robbreedon1407 Loved the grandstand seats.

Honestly Wish I could watch a game there, But super happy the "SkyDome" was built

lol It was a decent stadium until the Blue Jerks moved in and turned that stadium into an eyesore and removed its functionality as a football Stadium. They should have just made a new ballpark. but 10 years later, Sky Dome was a great answer for the time and BMO field has to be the best stadium ever to watch football.

That's awesome. I haven't seen the site in a while. I need to go to Corktown more often

Yeah I saw my first twins game there in 2007 but I don’t really remember it other than it being really loud

M Detlef do the taxpayers use it? Or does the team build it with the intentions of playing their home games in it?

Angel/Anaheim Stadium is still the original stadium that opened in 1966. Additional seats were added when it was enclosed for the Rams, then many of those seats were removed after the Rams left, but the core of the stadium is unchanged and the current outfield seats are from the old football configuration. The football locker rooms are still intact. The Giants also played two seasons in Seals Stadium in the Mission District. And the Dodgers played multiple seasons at the LA Coliseum. It would have been a long video if he covered every previous MLB stadium.

Qualcomm stadium, man I miss that. I used to be going to qualcomm and Jack Murphy around mid to last quarter of the year.

And the A's before they moved to Oakland.

They moved it to Mexico to

Um... The stadium was named for the team!

@@jsivco3sivco785 right, the "rare case" he said🤣🤣🤣🤣

Surviving portions are the right field bleachers, the ticket office, and the entry gate. The actual field has been in use since it was Braves Field.

They have also set the seat he hit on the wall where it approximately was originally. It was a Massive 522 ft Dinger! www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/28922

Phase 2 will be done later next year

Thats why Willy Mays catch was amazing - would have been gone in any park

We've gotten relatively lucky with naming rights in Minneapolis-St. Paul. But it's still a crapshoot. Target Field, Target Center, & Xcel Energy Center are ok names, but TCF Bank & US Bank Stadium are not and Allianz Field and CHS Field are only sort of ok. But on the plus side, we do have the last municipally-named sports facility (sort of) in North America: The Roy Wilkins Auditorium, home of Minnesota Roller Derby.

then you should buy the stadium and make the decision on what the stadium is named.

@@0truckmafk -You obviously don't understand "naming rights".

If the stadium was paid for by ANY tax dollars, should be named by the people.

@@mlbvintagecardcollector505 -That's my point.

It was the longest home run ever hit at Metropolitan Stadium by Twins player Harmon Killebrew. 522 feet.

I

The longest home run in twins history

M Detlef ok still a huge moment at candlestick

Wayne State plays a bit north of The Corner on their athletic complex that is also on Trumbull Street. Their ballpark now is called Ernie Harwell Field, the entrance is designed to mimic Ebbetts Field and scoreboard in left field was originally used in Tiger Stadium from 1997-1999.

Braves Field is still partially standing, actually. A piece of the right field pavilion as well as some ticket booths still stand

I think the Aztecs (College? Football I think) still play in Qualcomm

Joe Robbie Stadium is still used by the Miami Dolphins and the U Hurricanes once they left the Orange Bowl. It's now Hard Rock Stadium and I believe it is in Miami Gardens, not Miami proper. Tom Brady played his last game for Michigan here during the 2000 Orange Bowl game.

@@mediocre_skewber Yeah, and the Chargers before they left used it. They wanted a new stadium, but didn't get one. Big reason why they left.

@cpk1994 Yeah, although didn't I hear that it's only used during the summer or something? Something to do with the roof....

And the lovely chain linked fence in the outfield.

My father took my two brothers to a game at Candlestick in 1958 (I was too young to go). The game was called on account of fog.

Well... Under the Astroturf was blacktop!

Gro Skunk the Waterpark plan went through?

Compilation Crew Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s not going to happen anymore. (I live right next to the mall.)

@@Fritz___ i live right next to the mall too and i havent heard or seen any news saying the water park isnt happening.

And they have cotton candy and churros!

They mentioned that the Colts left from there; when actually it was the Colts who were in the suburbs the night in which they left.

That upper deck was really steep and high.

@@54GARYBOY It was a great balance tester

@@caragsdale10 I still get angry every time I see a Mayflower truck

@@jamesmorris2578 Me too! And I feel some sort of way whenever I drive along Owings Mills Blvd, passing by what is now Stevenson University's stadium.

blindleader42 I was hoping he'd mention Borchert's Orchard

Good illustration of why the stadiums from that era are nicknamed cookie cutters.

Was about to mention this myself.

Yup was gonna say the same thing

The creator of this video doesn't do his research. At the time of the making of this video, the Mall of America is the 40th largest Mall in the world. It's not even the largest in America. The King of Prussia Mall is bigger purely by retail space. The Mall of America structure as a whole is bigger, but only because there's an amusement park in the middle of it.

But most who do remember are in there 40s/50s which are pretty close to become seniors

really? because I am almost 40 and I do not consider myself a senior, nor does my sister is is over 40. Seniors by definition are 65 and above.

You beat me to the punch. I was going to make same comment. I know the Orioles have been pretty pathetic the past two years, however, they have an overall proud history. From the mid 60’s until the mid 80’s no franchise won more games than the Orioles and they won 6 A.L. Pennants and 3 World Championship’s. That is a long stretch. And just very recently from 2012-2016 no other A.L. team won more games and only the Cardinals in N.L. won more games. And by the way there are still quite a few franchises who have gone longer or still have never won at all. So, I must admit a funny comment, I think it is more pilling on to there recent collapse.

@@capsfan3940 and the last team to have four 20 game winners on their pitching staff. Amazing

In YT fashion, I should have made my own admonishment, but I'll just add it here. It would be analogous to saying RFK is in suburban DC or Shea was in suburban NYC.

I was a kid in the 70s and 80s & went to Riverfront Stadium a lot. Plenty of memories, yes. But once these new stadiums were built, it was easy to see how very ugly those cookie-cutter stadiums were, especially the ones with AstroTurf.

@@jamesedgar3442 AstroTurf should be bored in all professional sports. I remember one time trying to watch a game. I think it was the New Orleans saints. They had AstroTurf in the stadium they was playing in and it got ripped and torn to the point to where they canceled the game

MOA is the biggest in gross leasable area.

HoustonPlanespotting it’s almost like RU-vidrs have a upload schedule

Mason Wasson it's almost like it was a joke 🤷🏼‍♂️

HoustonPlanespotting well you didn’t convey that by sounding so sincere

@@masonwasson9523 I thought the smiley face emoji gave it away.+

Fun fact: In 1924, the stadium hosted 4 NFL games for the Kansas City Blues (who wore Black and White), and after that season, they were a barnstorming team for two years

Kept waiting for it and it didn't show up. Now it is the site of a high school

I've never been to old Municipal Stadium but it sure looked like it had a lot of character. I'm from Milwaukee and have always been intrigued at the very similar history of baseball in the two cities. Braves '53-'65. A's '55-"67. Brewers '70 - present. Royals '69 - present. I'm one of the few Brewer fans who miss old County Stadium. Miller Park is awful.

@@johnperrigo6474 I miss County Stadium too. I never have been to Miller Park though. I do remember when that giant blue crane collapsed on the construction of Miller Park. Took six iron workers lives.

I say this jokingly, but I think FPV just doesn't remember Kansas City has sports franchises.

Well, you gotta remember that it's somehow hip to show the pessimistic side of Detroit.

The all turf looks beautiful

Joe Wade - i miss tiger stadium. My granddad took me, and the upper deck homers was fastinating

Nice

From what I have read, Horace Stoneham’s original site of choice for Candlestick Park was less prone to the prevailing winds blowing off of San Francisco Bay. But, the site itself was on landfill (which obviously would been an issue if an earthquake were to have happened). Thus, that is why Candlestick Park wound up being built in area that was more prone to the winds coming from the Bay (but on more stable and solid land).

Been there lately?

@M Detlef Right

@M Detlef, damn it’s their choice, you don’t know the side of the story.

James Larken Smith Sorry but this is MLB...

@@ryanesgro4377 The Colt 45's were MLB. That was the name of the Houston Astros their first 3 years before they moved into the Astrodome.

Good catch, James.

I hoped someone else noticed.

Especially when you see the Phillies logos on the scoreboards while he is describing the cross state rivals stadium

I was gonna say that too, but he could be forgiven for that.

@@higgy04 Yeah that kind of jumped up didn't it. Looks like the '96 All Star game.

It’s time had come, it was beyond out of date and obsolete. Not to mention incredibly crammed

Alpha Kennywon yeah I’m not sure what he means “parking deck structures” BPV phase two definitely has some garage space but it’s at the feet of a new office tower, new apartment tower, and new hotel tower.
