Probably should have had the Olympiastadion in Berlin on the list, considering it´s around since 1936, overcoming the legacy of the guy who built it and the only big modification being a roof.
who built it? I'm sure the man responsible for such a legendary part of German sports history was an upstanding, charitable man who lives on in the hearts and minds of Germans everywhere long after his death?
Speaking of iconic... no city and stadium are tied as closely as the Superdome and New Orleans. Not only has it hosted all kinds of events, but it tells stories of triumph, tragedy and rebirth!
Yep. Opened since 1975, it’s been around for 47 years and has endured 45,975 Hurricanes, 658,897 floods, and 4,342 small fires. A true monument of its own 🙌
As I understand it, and I can’t be arsed to look it up, the city/transit authority still owns the land the arena is built on, and they had the option of taking it back in the future to build a new transit hub. They announced they planned to do so within 10 years right around the time the last expensive upgrades were made. Expect lots of legal wrangling before anything is sorted out there, not to mention whatever changes happen in the NY real estate market as a result of the virus changing work habits.
@Enmity the Kindhearted i think one of the plans now is to move the station to the older building across the street from MSG. Makes me wonder what will happen to the giant underground city below MSG if they decide to go through with that
That's what my grandfather said as well. At least the Moynihan train hall is pretty nice. I ride into the drab part of Penn from LI so it doesn't matter.
You probably could've included the LA coliseum with with the Rose Bowl since that's an equally legendary stadium, and with Michigan stadium you probably could've included as "honorable mentions" a lot of classic power 5 CFB stadiums (the horseshoe, Davis Wade, Sanford stadium, Bobby Dodd, Doak Campbell, Clemson memorial, etc)
What I love about epl teams. Instead of moving to big bowls like Tottenham, arsenal, West ham most teams stay and upgrade old stadiums. I mena most teams have stadiums that are over 100 years old

MSG is actually known best for wrestling. The first Wrestlemania was held there, and it's been home to some of the best moments in WWE history. In keeping with the tradition of MSG being known as a sacred ground for a pretend sport, the Knicks now pretend to be a basketball team in that same arena.
@@puckstopper25 oh dude,pro wrestling was selling out in the 30s and 40s! Even WWE when they were WWWF was selling out MSG thanks to the Italian Stallion,Bruno Sammartino.
Lol'd at the Knicks. But yuh, MSG is definitely one of the most popular pro wrestling venues, especially in the states. Not even just WWE, but really wrestling as a whole.
MSG is actually mainly known as a salty seasoning typically put on foods to enhance the flavor. Has been stereotyped to being a prominent ingredient in Americanized chinese food
Lords Cricket Ground (opened 1814) and The Oval Cricket Ground (Opened in 1845). I'm glad you put MCG on here, but at least one of the London stadiums could have made this list nicely.
Eden Gardens, Kolkata (and pretty much most of India's cricket stadiums - most of them are 50 - 60 years old) can be put on this list as well. (SCG, ACG, can be here too)
You got Lambeau, which is on all these types of lists. But there is another from the state that will go on forever: Camp Randall. Originally a Union army training ground for the good guys in the Civil War, it now houses the Wisconsin Badgers football team. Pretty neat history.
Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't mention that stadium. It's definitely one of the big stadiums that comes to mind when thinks of buildings to stand the test of time.
Since becoming the primary residence of USC, a lot of changes have been made that might have disqualified it. I agree with you, but I didn't make the video.
A little piece of Fenway Park trivia: Deep in the right field bleachers there is one red seat among the sea of green seats. That one red seat marks the landing point of the longest home run ever hit in Fenway Park. That home run, a 502 foot blast, was hit on June 10, 1946 by the legend Ted Williams.
I think La Bombonera, Santiago Bernabeu, Croke Park, Celtic Park and Ibrox Stadium are also going to be around for many years to come. Nice vid as always, 5PV!

You forgot Dodger Stadium - opened in 1962 and has that distinct outfield canopy. Likely to never be replaced as the stadium and the parking lot around it are all owned by the Dodgers. I could almost add Anaheim Stadium (opened in 1966) but it is not quite as iconic as Dodger Stadium, Wrigley, or Fenway - the only ball parks that are older. Fun fact, the fifth oldest baseball stadium is Oakland-Alameda where the Oakland As play, which means 3 of the 5 oldest stadium in baseball are in California.
I think you underestimate the anger of LA citizens if that stadium ever went down. They just spent a ton of money modernizing it. It isn’t going anywhere.
Wondering why Bobbby Dodd (1913) wasn’t on here :/ Still a great video, I love this style especially when you do the best/worst looking stadiums. Keep it up!
Do you think Soldier Field in Chicago would have been on this list if it was not renovated in 2002-2003 and still would have been a National Historic Landmark?
I think the stadium will last for generations to come, it just won't be home to the Bears. The Fire are back in there, and there is potential the city will seek a second NFL franchise when the Bears move out. Also I think that just the colonnade had the historic status, not the entire stadium. Either way, it was stripped.
My stepmom works in the Lambeau Hall of Fame, and I got to go out to see the Packers and Lions a few years ago. The game was an absolute tire fire, but it was still probably my favorite game I’ve ever been to.
You forgot to add Soldier Field. Even though the Bears look like they’re trying to move out, The city of Chicago will still find some use for it. The MLS Chicago Fire uses it as well
It's not nearly old enough yet, but I'm 100% confident that Camden Yards will be on this list. The first dedicated, purpose-built outdoor ballpark to break the trend of multiuse domes that plagued the 70's and 80's, and it did so in _beautiful fashion._ It's barely been adjusted since then because it really, really doesn't need it. Between including the Warehouse and Eutaw Street, that place is a shoe-in for National Historic Monument as soon as it's eligible.
Somehow I knew Wrigley would be #1. But it hurt when you mentioned that MSG is the oldest arena in both the NBA and the NFL...considering I'm four years older than that building...

Pro: Wrigley @ #1 Con: missed Bobby Dodd Stadium at Grant Field, oldest in FBS, home of John Heisman, four national championship teams, and one of the best views in all of sports
I totally get why one would put Michigan Stadium and the Rose Bowl on this list over other options, but NCAA Football has no shortage of great candidates for this one. (The Big Ten alone has several stadiums over or near 100 years old, including 3 stadiums with over 100,000 capacity) As a University of Wisconsin alum, I'm partial to Camp Randall Stadium: - Built on the site of an old Civil War training ground for the Union Army (also hosting POWs) - Built in 1917, although the field was used for UW athletics for two decades prior - 41st largest stadium on the planet - Distinctive feature of the UW Field House (itself a historic and cool-looking venue, built in 1930) along the south side of the stadium
It’s a shame Yankee Stadium couldn’t be salvaged. Maybe you could do a video on the iconic ballpark and talk about why it was torn down, while cathedrals like Wrigley and Fenway remain in use.
I think you can add the LA Coliseum and Dodger Stadium to this list. The Coliseum has been renovated to include seats for a human being and luxury suites. It still hosts USC Football, concerts, and also hosted a Nascar Event this year. Dodger Stadium is perfection. The third oldest MLB stadium behind Wrigley and Fenway but without the quirkiness because it was planned so damn well. Because it was built into a hill, wherever you sit in the stadium, your parking space will lead you straight there without a long flight of stairs, elevators, or escalators. The views from the stadium are immaculate, and unlike Wrigley or Fenway, there aren't stupid poles or support beams blocking your view of the game.
Great list, but I respectfully ask why was Dodger Stadium not included? Built in 1962 at Chavez Ravine and constructed out of poured concrete. The stadium has seen several renovations especially over the past decade and the overall charm of its Googie inspired architecture has been kept intact and some would say enhanced. Because the stadium is built into the mountain and made of concrete, the building will literally last for several decades with far less maintenance required than steel buildings. Once again, great list, not hating on a thing, I'm just curious as to why Dodger stadium was off the list. Please and thank you.
OSU's Horseshoe should have made the list it has been around since 1922. Sure it has gone through some major renovations but was needed to keep the stadium up to date with modern stadiums.
And to think they've almost replaced Fenway. Twice. Just before the 1967 Impossible Dream season, Tom Yawkey was in discussions to create a multipurpose facility in downtown Boston to share with the Patriots. That didn't go much of anywhere. Then in 1999, ownership unveiled ideas for a new Fenway Park which would basically be across the street and use some of the existing structure. Thank goodness for Massachusetts politics being what they are. The current ownership group says Fenway can be used until 2062. And even then, I'll bet there's gonna be people willing to save it before then.
Unfortunately Tom Yawkey has been relegated to the shadows and what he did for the team and for Fenway Park has been largely expunged from Red Sox history. The current ownership said they were "troubled by the Red Sox' racist history", which they blamed solely on Yawkey. With the help of some overzealous social activists they had Yawkey Way and Yawkey Station renamed and a plaque honoring Yawkey was taken off the ballpark. I think in reality the current ownership didn't like all the reminders that somebody else had once owned the team so they erased Yawkey just like he never existed.
Dodger Stadium and the LA Coliseum didn't make it? Plus, you really could have put "every horse track" in the honorable mentions. Do those places even die?
The Rose Hill Gym is the oldest primary basketball venue in the NCAA, having been opened in 1925 at Fordham University. Vince Lombardi tried to get it replaced with a 10,000 person+ arena, but when he died in 1970, any hope of a shiny new arena died with him. Lew Alcindor played his last high school game there for Power Memorial. Even though St. John's holds a 69-19 series lead all time and plays at MSG primarily, Fordham has won 3 of the last 4 games played at the Rose Hill Gym, partially due to how claustrophobic the 3,200 seat gym is for away teams.
Surprised you didn't mention Koshien Stadium in Osaka, Japan. Been standing since 1924 and it's considered the holy land of Japanese Baseball, plus it survived a war and several major earthquakes.
At Fenway, the glass luxury boxes were the .406 club (Ted Williams) the glass was slated to be removed 15 years ago and I think they did... something about air flow and home run ability.
Camp Nou is one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world. I was at a game there in March right before everything went to shit and it was just an incredible atmosphere to be a part of. The game wasn’t great but Barça fans are just on another level.
Is a piece of shit. The endless sloppy design might work for the NLF but you can't see a thing from the nosebleeds, outdated as fuck, you're left to the scorching sun with no protection. Add the back karma associated to have been financed thanks to the decision of Honorary Club Member and tree times Barça's Gold Medal recipient Francisco Franco. Hard pass.
You forgot about Williams Arena in Minneapolis. In use since 1928, "The Barn" has seen minimal changes to seating and the same floor was used until just a few years ago. Plus the elevated floor which is mimicked at the Final Four.
Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence Kansas opened in 1955 and considered "The Cathedral of College Basketball" not only for it's incredible history of past players andchampionships, but The Greatest Home Court Advantage in College Basketball for the National Champions and Big 12 Champion Kansas Jayhawks!
MCG is the most unreal stadium people talk about the history of Lambeau now just imagine that with 4 different sports and Olympic Games and another 100 years on top of it. It's honestly amazing and the atmosphere of 100k people screaming in unison is something you'll blow a load over especially for the AFL Grand final. TH-cam 2018 AFL Grand final to see what I mean.
Probably should have mentioned arrowhead stadium. It was opened in 1972 and has seen very few renovations, like an updated locker room in 2021. The stadium itself is in really good condition for something that’s 50 years old
The Lambeau Atrium was added during the renovations of 2000-2003. The only thing left over was the bowl itself. The razed the entire surrounding structure on halves building all an all new structure for luxury boxes, press boxes, locker rooms, concessions, and all. The current renovation involves underground parking for the players and coaches, an expanded underground practice facility, offices, training facilities and weight room.
Even with the Tigers leaving Tiger Stadium, it still could have been incorporated into the current development there, had the city of Detroit not rushed to tear it down in 2008-2009.
The Big House and South Bend are virtually the same because Knute Rockne actually went to Michigan and somehow got his hands on the architectural plans and brought them back and thus The Golden Dome was born. Thought everyone knew that but you didn't mention it in the identical stadium video. Shame! Shaaaaame! 👍

The House that Rockne Built ( AKA Notre Dame Stadium) should be on this list. It is just too iconic to not only South Bend, but Indiana.
Seeing as Michigan Stadium made it, you have a point.
Naw, you honor the daddy who built it, not the son who is merely a chip off the ol' block. ND Stadium is a scaled-down version of the Big House.
Great list, but I respectfully ask why was Dodger Stadium not included? Built in 1962 at Chavez Ravine and constructed out of poured concrete. The stadium has seen several renovations especially over the past decade and the overall charm of its Googie inspired architecture has been kept intact and some would say enhanced. Because the stadium is built into the mountain and made of concrete, the building will literally last for several decades with far less maintenance required than steel buildings. Once again, great list, not hating on a thing, I'm just curious as to why Dodger stadium was off the list. Please and thank you.
Cameron Indoor and Allen Fieldhouse should have made the list
True. Cameron Indoor is a sight to see. I've been to a couple men's and women's games in there, along with some graduations.
OSU's Horseshoe should have made the list it has been around since 1922. Sure it has gone through some major renovations but was needed to keep the stadium up to date with modern stadiums.
Wise choice for #1 Wrigley Field is awesome 💙❤️
Should have held out on that Big Blue joke for another year!! Lol
5:33 Fun Fact: Penn Station doesn’t sit adjacent to Madison Square Garden, it sits BELOW Madison Square Garden
In boston, TD Garden is above North Station. Literally above. The station sits at surface level and the arena is on top.
Thanks for the thumbnail! I look at Lambeau every day when I'm working. Go Pack Go! Worth visiting!
Wrigley Field is also a National Historic Landmark.
And to think they've almost replaced Fenway. Twice.
Just before the 1967 Impossible Dream season, Tom Yawkey was in discussions to create a multipurpose facility in downtown Boston to share with the Patriots. That didn't go much of anywhere. Then in 1999, ownership unveiled ideas for a new Fenway Park which would basically be across the street and use some of the existing structure.
Thank goodness for Massachusetts politics being what they are. The current ownership group says Fenway can be used until 2062. And even then, I'll bet there's gonna be people willing to save it before then.
Unfortunately Tom Yawkey has been relegated to the shadows and what he did for the team and for Fenway Park has been largely expunged from Red Sox history. The current ownership said they were "troubled by the Red Sox' racist history", which they blamed solely on Yawkey. With the help of some overzealous social activists they had Yawkey Way and Yawkey Station renamed and a plaque honoring Yawkey was taken off the ballpark. I think in reality the current ownership didn't like all the reminders that somebody else had once owned the team so they erased Yawkey just like he never existed.
Dodger Stadium and the LA Coliseum didn't make it? Plus, you really could have put "every horse track" in the honorable mentions. Do those places even die?
The Rose Hill Gym is the oldest primary basketball venue in the NCAA, having been opened in 1925 at Fordham University. Vince Lombardi tried to get it replaced with a 10,000 person+ arena, but when he died in 1970, any hope of a shiny new arena died with him. Lew Alcindor played his last high school game there for Power Memorial. Even though St. John's holds a 69-19 series lead all time and plays at MSG primarily, Fordham has won 3 of the last 4 games played at the Rose Hill Gym, partially due to how claustrophobic the 3,200 seat gym is for away teams.
I’m kinda surprised the Phog Allen Fieldhouse wasn’t here. And as a Mizzou fan.. there’s a slight pleasure saying that.
I am a K State guy and couldn't agree more. Sick place to see a trash team play.
La Bombonera(Broke ground February 1938, completed in May 1940) in Argentina is going to be there until the end of time
What about anfield older than camp nou and old trafford
Glad to see MCG was added to the list. Very few things out there like seeing a footy there.
You forgot Dodger Stadium in LA
Awesome to see the mighty MCG in this video. I reckon it has had more sports played there than any other stadium in the world.
I wish Tiger Stadium had been one of them.
Surprised you didn't mention Koshien Stadium in Osaka, Japan. Been standing since 1924 and it's considered the holy land of Japanese Baseball, plus it survived a war and several major earthquakes.
Your comment on Michigan losing to Ohio State really aged well.
At Fenway, the glass luxury boxes were the .406 club (Ted Williams) the glass was slated to be removed 15 years ago and I think they did... something about air flow and home run ability.
I think it was originally called the 600 club. It has since been renamed with the glass removed.
Wrigley feild better NEVER be destroyed
Camp Nou is one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world. I was at a game there in March right before everything went to shit and it was just an incredible atmosphere to be a part of. The game wasn’t great but Barça fans are just on another level.
Is a piece of shit. The endless sloppy design might work for the NLF but you can't see a thing from the nosebleeds, outdated as fuck, you're left to the scorching sun with no protection. Add the back karma associated to have been financed thanks to the decision of Honorary Club Member and tree times Barça's Gold Medal recipient Francisco Franco. Hard pass.
We're gonna OD on stadium videos.
Not a bad thing
I would add Neyland Stadium (1921), Bobby Dodd Stadium (1921), LA Coliseum (1923), Berlin Olympic Stadium (1936), Santiago Bernabeu Stadium (1947).
The A’s will still be at Oakland Colesium for hundreds of years, as long as the owners make the players pay for soda...
Lol
You forgot about Williams Arena in Minneapolis. In use since 1928, "The Barn" has seen minimal changes to seating and the same floor was used until just a few years ago. Plus the elevated floor which is mimicked at the Final Four.
@cpk1994 only someone who's never been there would say something so ignorant!
I was watching this and said the same thing.why wasn't wlliams arena not on this list
Dodger stadium ?! 3rd oldest in mlb has to be here
Me during the video: Hey where's Wrigley?
Also me towards the end: Oh there it is!
Where’s LA Coliseum
I thought the same thing.
And Dodger stadium
Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence Kansas opened in 1955 and considered "The Cathedral of College Basketball" not only for it's incredible history of past players andchampionships, but The Greatest Home Court Advantage in College Basketball for the National Champions and Big 12 Champion Kansas Jayhawks!
Was looking for this comment
Hi, your my favorite TH-camr
Thanks
MCG is the most unreal stadium people talk about the history of Lambeau now just imagine that with 4 different sports and Olympic Games and another 100 years on top of it. It's honestly amazing and the atmosphere of 100k people screaming in unison is something you'll blow a load over especially for the AFL Grand final. TH-cam 2018 AFL Grand final to see what I mean.
As a longtime Giants fan I have to say what about Dodger Stadium?
Probably should have mentioned arrowhead stadium. It was opened in 1972 and has seen very few renovations, like an updated locker room in 2021. The stadium itself is in really good condition for something that’s 50 years old
Any stadium will last forever if the school or organization doesn’t give a f about it
Or if they care about it so much they want to keep it
@@Z64sports true
The Lambeau Atrium was added during the renovations of 2000-2003. The only thing left over was the bowl itself. The razed the entire surrounding structure on halves building all an all new structure for luxury boxes, press boxes, locker rooms, concessions, and all. The current renovation involves underground parking for the players and coaches, an expanded underground practice facility, offices, training facilities and weight room.
Great vid…you should’ve included Dodger Stadium…especially if you had MSG.
Yale Bowl Bro.
Gotta give the Ancient Eight some love.
Stadiums dying exis-
Lambaeu: no
Even with the Tigers leaving Tiger Stadium, it still could have been incorporated into the current development there, had the city of Detroit not rushed to tear it down in 2008-2009.
He coveted one of the afl stadiums!
Especially liked the 'honorable mentions' which I hadn't thought of but totally belongs in the video. Thanks.
Hi there. How was your day.
Better than others I can say that
Brodown64 ok. Good.
My day seems legit.
Good, how's your day?
Brady Zuber good.
You should add Williams Arena in Minneapolis, MN if you do another video like this one
MSG Home of saddest team in the NBA.
This aged terribly.
The Big House and South Bend are virtually the same because Knute Rockne actually went to Michigan and somehow got his hands on the architectural plans and brought them back and thus The Golden Dome was born. Thought everyone knew that but you didn't mention it in the identical stadium video. Shame! Shaaaaame! 👍
Dang! No love for Dodger Stadium!!??
I don't know what it is about FPV's stadium videos, but as soon as I see one, I click on it. Just one of those topics that appeals to every sports fan!
Soldier Field is owned by the City of Chicago too
Where is the LA Memorial Coliseum on this list? Host of two Olympics, and a 3rd one coming up, the first two Super Bowls, a World Series, home to USC Football, former home to UCLA Bruins, and a visit from a Pope, what's wrong with you guys?
When I was 16 I literally spent my summer at Wrigley. As a military dependent, Special Services offered 50 cent grandstand seats for every home game. For $5 (back then), I'd get my ticket, have train fare and enough left over for a soda. Ah, better times! Cheers....
Wait, is that an instrumental version of Howard Jones’ “Everlasting Love” in the intro? Next-level, man. 🤙
