Why Were These NFL Stadiums Never Built? 

The Raiders should build a stadium on a aircraft carrier, so they can move every weekend to a different city.

The moon stadium would be good for the Astros. They could use telescopes and satellites to spy on the Earthling MLB teams

The Edward Jones Dome was actually built for the Patriots to relocate. This is why the seats were Red and Blue

THE GIANTS HIRED JASON GARRETT AS A OC LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

I’m really disappointed that National Car Rental Stadium was never built because it looks a lot like Soldier Field and could’ve further stoked the Chicago-St. Louis rivalry.

Do every NFL team's biggest blowout win

Didn't people complain about playing away games in London or Mexico? Imagine playing road games on the Moon. 😂🤔🌚

Just imagine in 10 years Stan Kroenke trying to move the Rams to the Moon.

Where's your other hand? Between two pillows. Those aren't pillows!!!!!! "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" is still one of my all time favorites.

All these failed stadium ideas remind me of how Houston has failed to renovate the Astrodome for so long. They can't even demolish it because it's a historic landmark.

If this was for the MLB the A’s would be on here 20 times

What kind of drugs did the guy take that decided they wanted to build a stadium on the moon

They changed the West Side Stadium to Citi Field as the athletics stadium for the 2012 Olympics bid and that really put the nail in the coffin for the bid. And for competition with MSG, I don't blame them

The stadium saga continues

0:10 C’mon man, I’m still recovering...

Honestly, that Chicago Sports Complex would’ve been awesome. Everyone here still wishes that the renovated Soldier Field included more seats and a retractable roof for hosting Super Bowls and even the NCAA tournament.

You could critique the CFL's stadiums next.

The irony of naming a stadium in the super-urban Los Angeles metro area "FARMER'S Field"

Man that Texans joke hit hard :(

That proposed New York Jets stadium was gorgeous, I can't believe if not the Jets than some other team never used the design.

7:00 actually these plans appear to be a similar design to Detroit's shared roof concept. If you look at the tracks of the roof they are the same on each side, making both stadiums indoor/outdoor stadiums in the 70s. Come to think of it, this would have been a better idea than ruining classically built soldier field with the flying saucer.

Im waiting for the SpaceX Dome, Mars. I mean at least their Falcons do not blow it in the second half of the mission.

Kansas City also once had a plan to have a roof sliding back and forth between Arrowhead and Kaufman.

Chargers haven't played a actual home game since 2016.

Chargers should relocate to Area 51

Fun Fact: Boltman actually went to one of the city planning meetings for the Chargers stadium. A man dressed up like a lightning bolt actually addressed the city council.

Sharing one roof for two different stadiums actually wouldn't have been that big an issue, I don't think. Nowadays teams that share parking facilities (e.g., Baltimore) will avoid scheduling home games at the same time because there'd be too much traffic -- the shared roof would probably follow a similar agreement. Might be a bit tricky to juggle, but it certainly seems doable.

The Delta Dome was for sure a alien ship.

"I'm not entirely sure if this was a real thing, but there are drawings of it and drawings make things real right?" Damn, I shouldn't have thrown away those stadium drawings I made when I was bored. Also just imagine the last stadium being used for baseball.

Let's build a stadium... on the MOON!!!

Hahaha as a Texans fan the intro about Texans fan hopes and dreams in January is the most true thing ever spoken

You have to be 238,900 miles high to want to build a stadium on the freaking moon

Kroenke is in so much debt with that stadium he might have to sell Arsenal and that would be a great thing. Liked the Planes,Trains, and Automobiles bit.......How about those Bears. Lol

The ironic thing is that had Portland voted FOR the Delta Dome, they'd have secured an NFL team and surely an MLB team. Instead, Seattle got both those things. And the NBA of course did ultimately come to Portland. Now I wish the NHL would've expanded to Portland instead of Seattle. But the big reason why they never did was Paul Allen - who never was a real fan of hockey.

1:10 Imagine wearing a shower cap even though you bald

“....the north loop part of south Chicago...” That’s a thing that doesn’t actually exist. Also, the Sox had new Comisky nearly finished by 1990.

A sphincter boy say what? ........... Dean Spanos "What"

When the USFL was a thing, the Oklahoma Outlaws were wanting a new stadium in Tulsa. They talked about a domed stadium for about a week then moved to Arizona.

When I grew up we had teams in St. Louis, San Diego, and Oakland. Now we have 2!!! teams in LA and a team in Las Vegas. Times are weird. I never understood why the NFL would have one, let alone two teams in LA. Small markets with solid fan bases like Pittsburgh, Green Bay, etc that sell out stadiums every season seem much more appealing to me for the NFL brand. A huge empty stadium for LA Chargers home games 8 times a year won’t look good.

That Texans diss got to me 😭😭😂😂 love watching you’re videos

My stadium fetish is fulfilled for the day. Thanks 5P.

I was so excited seeing the rendering for National car rental field. Hopefully STL gets a chance to build it in the future.

As someone who went to a school with West in its name from 1997-2000, I appreciate your use of "West Siiiiiiide" as that was heard often at my school functions.

Next u should go over every XFL teams stadium. As in this year.

The last team of architects probably thought they were in Futurama or something, GOOD LORD!

I live in Detroit and never was aware of that side by side stadium concept. I do recall the tigers were asked to move there but not this crazy stadium. Good history lesson fivepoint vids.

😂😂😂 love your commentary! 💯💯

You're freaking hilarious!! Please make many more like this 🤣

"And one was literally not on this planet....yeeahh" 😂😂😂😂

The rolling roof model is actually the original plan for the Truman sports complex in Kansas City. It even looks a LOT like Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadiums. The roof was scrapped because of labor strikes and other cost overruns, but the complex itself has been open since Arrowhead opened in 1972.

Look forward to these videos. 👍 great information. I’ve learned more from your videos than ESPN. 😃

Plane, Trains and Automobiles reference at 6:44 was laugh out loud funny : )

It's that time of year when 5PV must relieve his stadium fettish

It’s a shame some of these ideas didn’t become a thing. I’m really intrigued by civil engineering and big scale projects like these and it would be awesome to see more things like Mercedes-Benz stadium in Atlanta be built. But bigger and crazier

You forgot the Balto-dome which would have been built on the same site as Oriole Park, the warehouse would been demolished and a multipurpose dome stadium for the Orioles and Colts would been constructed. It was going to be built in the mid 70s. Hyman Pressman, passed an ordinance that Memorial stadium shall be left for soldiers.

forget the 80's? One of the best decades in human history.

I died when Bill Obrien came on the screen....Thanks for that laugh I had to stop the video when he said that I kept laughing because it's true. LOL

five points stockfilms vid back at it again!!

This commentary is always hilarious 😂😂

Wow! I didn’t expect a Delta Dome shoutout. Thanks FPV. It wouldn’t be until around a decade later that the Blazers would show up in the Memorial Coliseum. Worth nothing that there was already a multipurpose stadium in downtown Portland called “Civic Stadium” but no one seemed to have interest in redeveloping/too small of an area to repurpose into a larger venue. It’s now where the Timbers play and it was...repurposed into a soccer friendly facility 😂

I died of laughter at that ad spot... Oh the cringe... The horrible horrible hilarious cringe! FPV, you are awesome, dude!

1998 Hartford, huh? Meaning they'd just been screwed out of the Whalers. No wonder Kraft thought there was a hole to fill.

Points one liners in this video are top tier.

I’m from the Detroit area and I had no idea about the Pontiac moving roof deal!

Anyone ready for XFL??

7:52 can we just admire that beautiful shot

'Planet Park' in Gary Indiana for the Bears was a thing proposed in the 90's for a cup of coffee.

0:13 I'm a texans fan and I just got triggered

Miss Oakland and SD and many teams before them playing football on infield dirt. Not really but it was fun to watch.

I was totally supportive and up for the Jets playing on Manhattan’s west side because lots of opportunities would’ve been in the cards for many people everywhere not to mention it would’ve spiced up the rivalry with the Giants. I’m just lost for words on why it never happened.

I found outlaw soaps because of dr. Squatch and I’m so happy I found them

You forgot to mention a proposed football-only stadium in San Francisco at Candlestick Point. I heard in the mid-90's that 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo had an idea for not only a stadium, but also retail facilities next to it. The ballot-measure to build it passed, but I guess the battle for ownership between DeBartolo and his sister for ownership of the team kept it from being built.

I used to go to supercross events for years at the silverdome and I will say the location of that stadium was so much better than downtown venues. Plenty of parking, easy access, not so much traffic, and hotels surrounded it

Honestly id like to see some of these stadium concepts return they don’t seem that bad..

Forget the '80s?! Dude, what's wrong with you? I literally had a kid ask me if I grew up in the '80s. I did, of course, and she legit in awe said, "That must have been amazing!" Yes, it was, I replied.

Buffalo needed a new stadium to meet NFL standards for the upcoming AFL/NFL merger, and Erie County had their hearts set on their own version of the Houston Astrodome, which could also host baseball games. Ralph Wilson said that was a terrible idea and if they built the small dome instead of a 70,000 seat open air stadium, he would move the team. Possibly to Seattle, or Memphis. The developer sued the county over potential lost revenue, which took 20 years to settle, some politicians went to jail for bribery, and every cookie-cutter multipurpose stadium built in that era has been demolished while Ralph Wilson Stadium is still in use 50 years later. Who knows what could have happened if the county went ahead and built their dome. Would the Bills have moved, and if so would they have gotten another team? Would Buffalo have gotten an MLB team? Would the NBA’s Buffalo Braves have used the dome when The Aud wasn’t available, and then stayed in Buffalo instead of becoming the San Diego Clippers? Would more northern cities have followed suit and built domes instead of open air stadiums? War Memorial Stadium, the one that too small and too decrepit for the NFL, was used for all the baseball scenes in 1984 movie The Natural.

The football/baseball stadiums in Michigan with the roof that slides between them sounds like it would have been cool. Also you look good in that shower cap!!! Lol

The name "Farmers Field" made me LOL. What? were they going to plant corn in the end zone?

Great sense of humor.

One that wasn't mentioned was the proposed stadium in Inglewood, Ca. that was going to be built between Hollywood Park Racetrack and the Forum. It was to have been the new home for the Raiders as well as UCLA, who were renegotiating their lease at the Rose Bowl. Unfortunately, the Raiders left town due to Al Davis needing money in a hurry or the IRS was going to give him a colonoscopy. However, the stadium was only part of the plan. The next step was that there were plans to tear down the Forum and build a new arena next door. However, this opened the door for AEG to build Staples Center in Downtown LA and start the area's revitalization.

Jets fan for life, LOL, he's out of prison now since 2018 but should still be there just for being a Jets fan.

9:27 Would have been perfect for The Silver Millennium-Moon Prism Power Make Up!

Do this for the other leagues too. I know the Oakland A's would get featured a lot in an MLB video on the subject.

PS: Can you one day do a video on the biggest arena fails like the Miami Arena (example) or Tropicana Field? Or Continental/IZOD in New Jersey?

The lions and tigers idea with the roof that moved is a great idea IMO. They should have done it. 3:17

Bro I ain’t expected him to film him in the shower, he gettin a bag tho so respect💯

The West Side Project looked so cool

As soon as I saw a stadium video I instantly clicked

Forgot at least one where both the stadium and the team still exist: Nippert Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals in 1968 & 1969, while Riverfront Stadium was being built. Yes, the Bengals were AFL during those last two pre-merger years.

Can you do CFL stadiums critiquing video

Great video, FPV! Robert Kraft's new nickname should be *Rub'n'Tug Robbie*

Can you imagine a football game on the moon though? Wideouts slowly bouncing downfield while passes sail 20 yards past them would be a sight!

The one time I dont see a Bloomberg add before a video I hear his name IN the video. There is no escaping this man.

Ideas: Never built MLB stadiums Former NHL/NBA arenas

The labor movements were on board no shit... love how you peppered that in there.

"sphincter boy" well played

Do a video about college basketball arenas

The rams should’ve never left St. Louis and the chargers never should’ve left San Diego

This was hilarious 😂😂😂

This intro got me dying lmao
