I was at Chase Field for the first time this year for the WBC and I actually really liked it. It's a very nice stadium. I really hope they don't move to Scottsdale because in terms of location it's already in the best spot in the Phoenix metro. Parking is kind of a pain but there is so much around the stadium in walking distance (which really can't be said about anywhere else in Arizona) and it's also really close to the airport.
To be fair, the Ducks and Sharks are both going through rebuilds so it's not surprising attendance is down for those teams. Also, Minnesota is one of the oddities where you think the NBA/NHL share an arena but they don't. The Wild play at Xcel Energy Center.
@maxpowr90 plus the Honda Center is actually going to be part of the O.C. Vibes' Anaheim's sport district and apartments renovation and construction for both the Angels and Ducks plus Honda Center is being replaced in 2050
Love your videos, but you got the Amway Center wrong. It opened in 2010 and it is really nice inside and very modern. You were confusing it with the old Amway arena which opened in 1989 and was very outdated. I'm sorry, I'm from Orlando so I had to stand up for our arena, lol
I would not have put Chase Field on this list. Safeco, Comerica, Target... to me those make more sense on the list. Maybe it's because I'm most familiar with the NL West, but Chase Field is actually a park I really want to visit because I think it looks really cool. I think the roof design is very unique and it gives this really interesting, almost hangar design. It kind of reminds me of Miller Park from the inside, which is another stadium that looks really cool and that I want to visit. I guess it does just kind of look like a box from the outside, but I think the inside looks awesome. I get that the Diamondbacks are not really a super relevant team, but Chase Field itself is a pretty unique stadium, whereas the others on my list are really forgettable.
This guy reminds me when Peter on Family Guy had that segment, "Grinds My Gears". He just complained and just said whatever was on the top of his mind.
What are you smoking? Chase field clearly isn’t irrelevant. It hosts a bunch of WBC games and other events in other sports etc. Do you know what irrelevant means?
Come on, now. The most irrelevant arena in pro sports has to be FLA Live Arena (previously the BB&T Center, BankAtlantic Center, Office Depot Center, and National Car Rental Center), home of the NHL’s Florida Panthers. While the Miami Heat’s arena is on the downtown waterfront, the Panthers play in an arena next door to a dying mall, as far away from the beach as one can get in south Florida.
i saw the honda center when i went to cali fairly nice arena even the clippers played home games there they shoulda moved there instead of sharing staples with the lakers oh I meant crypto lol
San Jose usually draws well but they are terrible this season. Florida Panthers' arena is super irrelevant and located way out in the burbs and that's what I would have picked for the NHL.
I wouldn’t consider Chase field as irrelevant after the WBC. It has flaws but still a nice stadium. If anything Angel stadium and Nationals Park is way more irrelevant
My man, you are WAY OFF on Amway Center. For one, it opened in 2010, not 1991. Also, even though I haven't been to that arena, I definitely wouldn't call it irrelevant. I look at that arena as similar to AT&T Stadium, because it made all of the other teams step their game up with new arenas. Maybe you're thinking of the old Amway Arena that it replaced?
If there's a couple things I can say about Chase Field that sticks out from most of the stadiums and arenas I've been to, is that it's clean, and there's space getting to and from places (cough: Angel stadium especially). There are 5 stadiums on the west coast I've been to very frequently over the years, Anaheim, Seattle, Oakland, LA, and AZ (not listing every one I've been to like at least once, too long). AZ is cleanest of that bunch, *regularly, in my experiences, it has that in my book, just that though.
I completely disagree with Chase Field being Irrelevant. It's a great stadium, regardless of the roof being closed majority of the time. Does Chase Field have some flaws, yes. But calling it irrelevant is a bit much.
The SAP center has a new Jumbotron and a lighting package for their seats. The attendance is at a low because the team sucks and not because hockey isn’t relevant in SJ. I remember Sharks games being sold out during the height of the team. Attendance has gone downhill since the wcf loss in 2019. Plus the Sap center is used year round as the main concert / event venue for the South Bay. It is 100% not as “irrelevant” as you clam it is. Plus, there are many errors in this video such as the Amway Center being listed as opening in 1991, despite opening in 2010. Do some more research my dude.
His research for videos is very weak. I keep hoping each video will improve, but it doesn't, which stinks because I like the places his videos go. But when he had a video where he talks about the wrong stadium entirely, and he goes by feeling when something can be proven, whether historic events or the opening date of a venue.
Diamondbacks ballpark needs windows to see their mountains. If they built a new one you gotta see the Arizona views. Whitesox failed by enclosing the outfield and not facing it towards the Chicago skyline. There's mock renderings of it opened to see the Chicago skyscrapers and it would be badass. Nationals park lacks any identity. Comerica in Detroit is nice. The huge Tigers outside the ballpark are awesome, it has huge Tigers on the scoreboard and the park faces the Detoit skyline. I wonder how many ballparks the ginger has visited? 🤔
This is an explanation of Ginger's personal likes and dislikes (explained in numerous other videos) not relevancy. In any case, all stadiums and arenas are relevant to the home team fans . By the way, Amway Center (Orlando) was opened in 2010 and not 1991.
Dude - your take is HORRIFIC and I like a lot of your stuff. I've been to 22 of the 30 baseball parks. I live in AZ and I'm not being bias (I'm not a D-Backs fan). Chase Field is nowhere near the worst. It needs some renovations. It is centrally located, has great parking, good views from most seats, some of the cheapest tickets, and they're building a young team around pitching. Washington, Oakland, Coors Field (Way too big), the new debacle in Arlington (can barely fill half), Miami, St. Pete - and that's just MLB.
I really like your videos, but did you do any research on the NHL arenas? It’s a lazy take with a lot of recency bias. Go visit Miami (Sunrise) or Phoenix. Those are irrelevant.
make a video ranking ‘out of town scoreboards’ in baseball and rank them based on where they’re located in the stadium and how easy they are to read/see
If you're going irrelevant, I would say places that have no major tenant, like the Dome at America's Center, the Alamodome, Mandalay Bay Arena in Vegas, the old Ballpark in Arlington (now sort-of a football stadium), Oakland Arena, there is a 18,000 seat arena in Little Rock that's never had any major tenants and currently has zero.
How did Nationwide Arena in Columbus not make this list? The arena itself is fine, but the team is almost never in contention, and honestly feels more like a minor league franchise than one in the NHL. The CBJ are the definition of “irrelevant.”
U clearly have never been to Nats park 😂 looks nothing like it, Nats park is actually a great venue when the Nats are good, which hasn’t been the case for a while
Chase field just hosted a WBC pool... it's not the best but I don't necessarily think it is completely irrelevant. They also host a bowl game. Idk I feel like Comerica Park and Guarantee Rate field feel more irrelevant.
When I was a teenager in the late 90’s vacationing in St. Perersburg, we drove past Tropicana field and I asked a friend of my uncle’s that lives there, who used to play there and he said it was still used by the devil rays(now just rays). It looked outdated and abandoned then and I can’t believe it has been artificially or naturally upgraded since the late 90’s and I haven’t seen on television anything indoors that makes it any more appealing than Chase Field. Oakland I’m sure could hand off their beer to a friend, but by appearance alone Chase Field puts Tropicana Field to a landfill.
Angels stadium is LITERALLY next to the Honda Center (Ducks arena)... You can't say one is relevant because of "Los Angeles" and then say the Ducks arena is irrelevant. Honda Center is a massive concert venue still. Me thinks you did not do your homework on this my dude lol
Another day another poor poorly researched effort from this dude. Future HOFer and one of the greatest right handed hitters ever, Miguel Cabrera is playing in his final year. That makes Comercia Park very much relevant.
On the arena side of things in particular, anything that's just in the middle of a sea of parking lots kind of sucks. At that point it's basically a Chili's where sports happen sometimes.
When the Sharks are good, SAP Center is seriously electric. And the simple two deck setup is great because there isn't a massive wall of suites in the middle. I've literally sat in the top row in the corner and still had a great view, which you can't say about most arenas.
I went to chase field quite a bit as a kid whilst visiting my grandparents in AZ. I have fond memories but probably because I was just excited to be at a Ball game (and out of my grandparents house)
I so agree with you about the Honda Centre. As a hockey fan living in San Diego,I have been there many times for games and I have to say this is the the most depressing hockey aren in the NHL. It seems as if this place was built on the cheap as there are no escalators to get you to the upper bowl. Also, very little width in the concourses, especially the upper level; kind of reminds me of old Chicago stadium.
AT&T Center here in San Antonio is peetty old and irrwlevant...its outside of downtown so you cantvreally walk to it...horrible location and its already pretty old
You're speaking of the previous arena in Orlando which was small and old this arena is not that old...but since built nothing has happened since they have moved in
The SAP Center is actually relevant. The Sharks suck right now and that is why attendance is down. When the Sharks were good, they sold out a lot of games and it is loud. Plus, the sight lines are very good. They also have tons of concerts so it is a busy arena.
Having been to chase field to me that park is relavent cause if you don’t have it there is no baseball in arizona. Also the roof is open 60% of the time and it is a nice stadium to catch a game in. I went there for 5 Braves games and a wbc between usa and Mexico in 2013
talks about Honda Center being outdated... shows photos before its major renovation from a couple of years ago. lol. Dude is clearly not a West Coast guy.
Just to add about the irrelevance of Target Center... That arena's situation is even worse because of the far superior Xcel Energy Center in St.Paul..(home of the MN Wild) So they lose out on a lot of events, concerts, etc... The rehab there was something tacked on to the construction of US Bank Stadium...
@@terrancewatts4812 no... Although the Lynx did play one season there when Target Center was being remodeled. Not really sure if Xcel is really interested in them as a tenant. Besides the Wild. their pretty booked-up with other events.
In the defense of honda center, they still draw big name evtns/concerts throughout the years. UFC still stops by every couple years. When it was at its peak, it hosted big events like Wrestlemania as well
I kind of dislike Target Centers renovation. The old exterior just screamed late 80's early 90's. I do love the random planks of wood over the cinder block style roof on the concourse though.
Careful now. The California teams all have decent fanbases. The main thing is that the two that you named haven't been at all good in the 2020's, and both Honda Center and SAP Center at San Jose are 30 years old. That said... Honda and SAP are both 30 years old, and stuff built in 1993 tends to look quite dated in present times.
For reals Honda center always has big artists selling out there lol. Not to mention it's going to host the women volleyball in 2026 Olympics. Plus it's going on a 1.3 billion project transforming the surrounding into strip mall ect
I've been to a few DBacks games. That place is a cavern. But I'm you sad you didn't throw my A's Oakland Coliseum under the bus. Come on man, give the love. I grew up in that dive bar.
Honda Center isn’t the best, but your images aren’t even accurate… Those images are at least 10 years old, considering that they have a whole new entrance, video screens on the outside, and are currently in the process of building an entire entertainment District around the arena…
I hate that the UFC goes to the Honda center once a year it seems like this may be the 1st year they may not finally but why? They already do a show once a year in LA and a bunch of others in Vegas all pretty much in the same area but why? Why? LA is literally 2 blocks up the road like I don't get it I don't understand.
Dude, I love your concepts for videos, but you gotta work on your execution. The magic didn’t go to the finals in their current arena. Just make sure to do basic fact checks lol
I disagree with the sharks. I would say the keybank is more irrelevant than the honda center. Because at least the ducks have won a stanley cup. The sabres are shit, the arena is really fucking old, the soundsystem is the worst thing i have ever heard and the ONLY feature that it has are the sabres going up and down when the sabres enter the ice
