Miami's stadium remodel was nothing short of a miracle. I was there in 2013 and it was in worse condition than Tropicana Field. Faded seats, cracking concrete, run down concessions and restrooms. It's beautiful now. I hope Raymond James Stadium in Tampa gets a canopy like Miami did.
I hear you. At least Tropicana Field has a roof. That shithole was the Trop without a roof, and it was God awful. I ain’t even mad the Marlins got a new park. In an alternate reality, Jose Fernandez doesn’t die, and they’re competitive.
The Dolphins did a tremendous job renovating their stadium after the Marlins moved out. Looks like a whole new state of the art stadium doesn't look like anything like it's the same stadium. I am blown away.
A&M is crazy loud because its built tall instead of wide like Bama and OSU but, funny story; My wife is an A&M alum and since we live in Tennessee now, we decided to drive down to the TAMU v. Alabama game last year and it was actually fxcking deafening. I never thought it sounded all that loud on TV either but I ended up with a headache and my ears ringing for the next day and a half.
One thing that’s pretty cool about Hard Rock Stadium is the fact the the sunlight only shines on the other team’s sideline and a few rows beyond that. There could potentially be a 30° difference from the Dolphin’s sideline to the visiting team’s sideline.
That renovation that the Dolphins did was amazing! It literally looks like a completely different stadium, very hard to believe that a baseball team actually used to play there as well! Very very nice job on the renovation
Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati has drastically improved along with the team. When I was a student 20+ years ago, it was bland, empty, and cold on gameday. It's now a very exciting stadium, and they have plans to get up to 60,000 seats by expanding the upper deck around, while still retaining the music college's building in the south endzone.
Another place that did a good job is the former BJCC Arena, now called Legacy Arena, in Birmingham that just hosted NCAA tournament games last weekend. That place was an absolute dump for decades and it felt like you were in a time machine going back to the 1970s in there. Seeing on TV last weekend I couldn't believe it was the same place.
Football sells hella out, and gets louder than some airplanes. You only really get proper noise by squaring the seats as much to the field as possible and trapping the noise by as many walls and seating sections as possible. The swamp is world renowned for a reason, and I say that as a huge Seminoles fan.
The reason you notice the crowd at A&M &Penn State, and places like that are because the announcers talk about their crowds constantly. At Bama and Ohio State they talk about the team because they you know, win titles.
Miami is probably the best one. They changed it into a European-style football stadium and it's worked unbelievably well. Trash F1 circuit though with that hilarious fake marina.
Even better... The Colorado Rockies did not soak the taxpayers for adding the Rooftop section to Coors Field. They had a slush fund and just did it.nSame with the massive scoreboard upgrade a few years ago. Both have been well-received by Rox fans.
I was at the 2021 national championship in miami and that stadium is awesome you would not think its a renovation I really liked it. Capacity was 14k btw
Keep your eye out for Paycor Stadium. The master plan for renovations should be coming out soon. They have some photos and other information about big updates that they're doing.
The white Sox originally were going to build there park in the suburbs. The had HOK, the firm that designed the Royals stadium, design their new park. They wanted what the Royals had. When they couldn’t build in the suburbs, they dusted off the plans and built it across the street from old Comiskey.
I'm a bit surprised that you would praise the expanded upper decks at Kyle Field after complaining about equally excessive upper decks in MLB parks. I think that the expanded Kyle Field looks excessive, but I guess that's the difference between college football and MLB baseball. I do agree that the renovated Hard Rock looks great; the only time I was ever there was for a Marlins game (when they still played there) on a hot day, and the upper deck was brutal. I think Orlando is planning to do something similar to Camping World Stadium to try and attract the Jaguars.
How can you not include Madison Square Garden’s 2010-13 renovation on this list? I love MSG, but prior to its renovation, it was a DUMP. Very ugly pink and teal seating, dim lighting, awful suites up at the top of the venue, extremely tight concourses that barely fit enough fans, and a very outdated scoreboard. What they did, gutting the arena, replacing all the seating, moving the suites way down, and both doubling the size of the concourses and remodeling them to celebrate MSG’s history was next level and saved the Knicks and Rangers from a sure fire move.
you crap on the Guardians renovations, but unless you're actually a fan of them that attends the games, they're actually fantastic because they're fixing what didn't look good. Plus the new ticket packages for this year make it worth it to go to the new spots when they finish them
Idk if you've seen or heard about the renovations at the Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays. 🐦🇨🇦⚾🏟️ I just wanna hear your thoughts on that and to hear what you'll expect once it's complete. ✌🏻
Didn’t show a pick of an ugly baseball field that was an eyesore when the marlins were there. It was just some gaudy times watching either sport during that crossover in late summer/early fall. Hard Rock is so nice now
All of the wonderful, helpful,useful and needed cause what else would they have done baseball stadiums are saving baseball right, oh shit they aren’t, they don’t even play baseball in baseball.l. Huh that’s weird wonder why it sucks so bad….my time is up
Fenway park #1 what? I willnt doubt history it has or anything but this stadium should have been torn down 30 years ago so outdated ever with some renovations can only do so much with it since in middle of city

I went to a Dolphin game this year and it's a whole new stadium. No exaggerating...
I hear you. At least Tropicana Field has a roof. That shithole was the Trop without a roof, and it was God awful. I ain’t even mad the Marlins got a new park. In an alternate reality, Jose Fernandez doesn’t die, and they’re competitive.
@@RedRaiderLobo20 Small world, I went to high school with Jose. We only spoke like once or twice, but it was still such a shock when he died.
I had no idea that was a renovation….wow
I went to Raymond James in 2019 and it’s actually not that bad. Just a little bit of outdated features like the big spiral ramps on each side

Soldier Field is another one that got worse after a renovation.
i think it looks pretty good but I would have to go there and check it out.
Climate Pledge Arena was drastically improved from what it was as Key Arena. Although the name is kinda cringe.
Would love to see a video of that Reno for sure.
That renovation that the Dolphins did was amazing! It literally looks like a completely different stadium, very hard to believe that a baseball team actually used to play there as well! Very very nice job on the renovation
And won two World Series there. Haven't even won even a conference title since they got their own stadium.
Miami's renovation was the best i have ever seen no question

Hard Rock Stadium almost looks like San Siro Stadium in Milan Italy with that roof.

lol they Comiskey-ized it, showing that they should have built a modern Comiskey to begin with.
^ this
And kept the name

Hey genius, we don't have to talk about Happy Valley, it's the bucket list of all college football!!!!! White Out
Miami is probably the best one. They changed it into a European-style football stadium and it's worked unbelievably well. Trash F1 circuit though with that hilarious fake marina.
Legacy Arena at the BJCC in Birmingham is another one. Went from a dull bowl of concrete to a state of the art arena.
I love huge upper decks! It just needed a new roof
The obstructed views from the pillars is unfortunate.
Even better... The Colorado Rockies did not soak the taxpayers for adding the Rooftop section to Coors Field. They had a slush fund and just did it.nSame with the massive scoreboard upgrade a few years ago. Both have been well-received by Rox fans.
Because of it's shape the noise at Michigan Stadium goes straight up. Same at Ohio Stadium.
I was at the 2021 national championship in miami and that stadium is awesome you would not think its a renovation I really liked it. Capacity was 14k btw
If Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers have stayed in their markets they should have took a page from the Miami Dolphins renovations🏟
Keep your eye out for Paycor Stadium. The master plan for renovations should be coming out soon. They have some photos and other information about big updates that they're doing.
Damn. I thought Hard Rock WAS a completely new stadium! Good video.
The white Sox originally were going to build there park in the suburbs. The had HOK, the firm that designed the Royals stadium, design their new park. They wanted what the Royals had. When they couldn’t build in the suburbs, they dusted off the plans and built it across the street from old Comiskey.
The Chisox should build a modern replica of the Old Comiskey Park.
Fenway Park was headed for the wrecking ball in 1999. The new John Henry ownership saved it and made it America's most beloved ballpark.
They had a new stadium planned out across the street. Now there’s a billion dollar retail/apartment project due to take place in the surrounding area…
Not really sure how far you want to go back, but look at the before and after pictures of Autzen Stadium from its 2002 renovations.
Def solid renovation. Joe Robbie was on its way out.
The white Sox have done an excellent job with their stadium. Not only trimming the upper decks. But moving the bullpens. And Updating the scoreboard.
Coors Field really did a nice job their right Field upper deck. The Pro, not so much.
The Big House is all benches and and a shallow bowl. A nice big roof would keep the sound in.
It's a giant speaker 🔊 where the sound goes straight up.
If the Miami Hurricanes build their own stadium, they need to call it “The New Orange Bowl”.
Imo it’s really shitty that the upper deck tickets at us cellular don’t allow access to the rest of the stadium
Should do a race track renovations.
Seattle completely destroyed their old nba arena, kept the roof and built a state of the art NHL arena underneath.
I liked the Cavs old logo and color scheme. Idk, I find orange and blue more appealing than maroon and yellow
I think Lambeau field should’ve been included
Next Video idea: Stadiums that appear larger than its capacity
-Stadiums that appear smaller than its capacity

you forgot about Angels stadium to me the best renovation of any stadium
New Comiskey looks great now. Sorry I will always call it that.
The changes to the White Sox stadium are outstanding. When it opened as the new comiskey park, it was an absolutely awful stadium
Met Life stadium should put a roof on like Miami did.
you crap on the Guardians renovations, but unless you're actually a fan of them that attends the games, they're actually fantastic because they're fixing what didn't look good. Plus the new ticket packages for this year make it worth it to go to the new spots when they finish them
These rennovations are like a cure for cancer
I refuse to believe there are more seats in the big house than Kyle field
This man is obsessed with the Guardians
and Upper Decks
Whenever they renovate, you can bet it was an private money deal.
Key arena->climate pledge
BC Place stadium in Vancouver,BC should be on this list
ummm Kauffman stadium?
Ooof this guy trying way too hard to sound like Jomboy
I don't think he sounds like Jomboy at all, but the way he talks is certainly somewhat weird
Idk if you've seen or heard about the renovations at the Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays. 🐦🇨🇦⚾🏟️ I just wanna hear your thoughts on that and to hear what you'll expect once it's complete. ✌🏻
Speaking of obnoxious….that voice
Sorry, the big house is still largest, penn st, then horse horse
Didn’t show a pick of an ugly baseball field that was an eyesore when the marlins were there. It was just some gaudy times watching either sport during that crossover in late summer/early fall. Hard Rock is so nice now
Beaver Stadium looks like it just keeps tacking on more seats like a woman puts on faux hair extensions.
Nope, not true!!! Another dumb comment that doesn't know anything about the best college football atmosphere in the world 🌎!!!! Try again
All of the wonderful, helpful,useful and needed cause what else would they have done baseball stadiums are saving baseball right, oh shit they aren’t, they don’t even play baseball in baseball.l. Huh that’s weird wonder why it sucks so bad….my time is up
Why doesn't the Miami stadium get a roof or retractable roof? Too much money??
You said the right name Cleveland Indians, not that other name . Just like the Redskins but they're always going to be the Washington Redskins to me
Key Arena to Climate Pledge…
My man, it’s Guaranteed Rate Field, not park
the downvote was for the irritating loud monotone voice, but good video overall
Fenway park #1 what? I willnt doubt history it has or anything but this stadium should have been torn down 30 years ago so outdated ever with some renovations can only do so much with it since in middle of city
Your videos are terrific, this one too. But please, please, work on your voice.
LA Coliseum Stadium ????
They made it worse.
