5:10 are we just going to gloss over the fact that the newspaper said man kicked to death?
It was Boston so I wasn't shocked.
Eh, it was just some tourist
ouch!!!
@@russianboss0378 A tourist in 1958.
Typical. He wasn't a Yankee fan though because we own Fenway... LITERALLY. See: original Babe Ruth trade
KC had a plan in the 2010s for a roof that would have covered Kaufman and Arrowhead. With it moving between the two stadiums on giant stills and rollers
Jeff Slote that was actually the original plan but thank everything that is good in the world that they dumped that
@@dom.rockchalkjayhawk.8990 Yes. The remodel on both of them included the roof plan. Thankfully the voters nixed the idea
I think the city of Detroit had a similar idea for the Tigers and Lions as well
Andrew Meyer Chicago did too
@@dom.rockchalkjayhawk.8990 The movable roof was in the original plan when construction of the stadium complex was proposed back in mid 1960s.

The movable roof was deleted from the final plan to reduce costs.
I live near Met Life Stadium in NJ. Why a retractable dome wasn't put on this place is still a mystery. Yet people still pay top dollar to watch Giants and Jets games in winter conditions
Let’s not forget that super bowl that got lucky the weather wasn’t that bad that week.
@@wilderac2250 wild part was when it snowed the very next day after the Super Bowl.
Watching the Giants and Jets sucks in any type of weather.
The physical look of the stadium is nearly as exciting as watching paint dry
I went to MetLife for Wrestlemania last year. The stadium has no personality.
I designed a floating stadium when I was a kid, didn't know it was an actual real life thing that was proposed until now.
XD OOF
Cisco field looks like it would have been amazing
Looks similar to how the Padres stadium is set up except flipped corners
Cisco field is pretty cool, but when I was 13 I got a tour into Fenway, and got to see all of the intricate stuff that no one would see. It looked frozen in time. This was during the Strike Shortened season of 1994.
@@mockingslur6945 Fenway is a historical site now. I believe it can never be torn down now or have major changes. I love Fenway but don’t expect to be comfortable
@@Keyser___Soze I didn’t watch the game. I’m not looking back at my comment, but it seemed like the garden and Fenway said there will NEVER BE LUXEIES! They will have to do bare renovation’s, or it will fall down.
made it all the way to the Supreme Court too
There was also an attempt to lure the Athletics and the Raiders from Oakland to sacramento. They legit built the cement foundation for what they were going to call Arco Park. They legit and i mean legit spent 16 million to pour the base and they didn't get jack shit and to this day you can see the remains. P.s the videos have been getting me through quarantine.
Wow I’m from sac and grew up and still am a huge A’s fan as the rivercats used to be the affiliate. Would’ve been sick to see the A’s in Sac
Actually it was the Giants and Raiders, since the Giants played at Candlestick and hated it.
the history behind this is insane, the foundation was built in sacramento as a bluff/double cross where the Raiders/As had the city build it to threaten the city of Oakland into significantly bettering the terms of their contract. When Oakland stepped up with the money, they basically told sacramento “sorry, its business”
Why doesn’t this channel have 1Million subs?
Cause people don’t care about stadiums
Ian Hollingsworth Lol
👁 likey
It's all your fault Colin. Do better.
The Algorithm
It's so weird I have no idea
The floating stadium sounds like the kind of idea that sounds awesome at first but is actually awful when you think about it for 5 seconds
If that place was built, I hope they hand out Dramamine for the fans!
Imagine the ticket policy!
"Your seat is currently underwater. No refunds will be given."
"In the event of a tsunami during play..."
Need CFL/XFL/AAF stadiums review next 😳
I think you included those because of how there is less teams in those leagues. If you put them there because of skill level that’s far from accurate as the CFL is much better then the XFL and AAF in terms of skill level
@@goalhorncrazy9779 i like CFL, so thats a good one
Sure as God made green apples, someday, the Oakland Athletics will get a new ballpark.
When that happens, I hope to be at the last game at the Coliseum and the first game at the new place.
Don't feel so bad Oakland, you might be getting a WNBA team to play in Oracle.
I went to the last Padre game at the Q (aka The Murph) and the first one at Petco (aka The Bark Park).
@@rockvilleraven They should play at Chase. It's way new and a beautiful part of San Francisco near Dog Patch and Oracle Park and Mission Rock, and there are plenty of pubs and restaurants there too. And there is no guarantee a WNBA team will locate there.
So, you'd rather have 3,000 longshoremen lose their jobs? Shipping is more important to the City of Oakland, and money proves that. Rebuild the Coliseum or move to not Vegas but Portland or Vancouver. I will not be at the Coliseum for either their last game with Mt. Davis or their first without. Go Giants! Oracle the best baseball park ever built!
@@ldfreitas9437 Oracle Park is pretty great. It is almost as good as Petco Park.
Also One More Thing,In The 50’s The Pirates Proposed An Stadium On A Bridge,A BRIDGE,It’s Like The Last One But It’s On An Bridge Not On Water
lmaoooooo he NAILED everything he said about Northern Virginia, Arlington, and Loudon
Remember that in the early stages of FedEx Field's development, Jack Kent Cook almost had a deal with them Va. Governor Wilder to build the new stadium at the Potomac Yards site. The residents balked and complained about parking during events. Yet there is now a large Mall there are now there is traffic EVERYDAY now in the same area the would have only been busy during football season. Hah in your face VA!
No, he didn't. Loudon was not what it is today even 15 years ago. It was still recovering from being a prison site. The area near the river in Arlington was never particularly troubled, it just isn't residential because of transportation. He doesn't know what he's talking about, and neither do you apparently.
@@tbaileya Yeah, Virginia is really bummed that they didn't get a bad football team. And the traffic there is because of the beltway, not the mall. You're a dolt.
Loudoun has no space
Loudoun has no space
You would also have to watch out for tides in the San Diego River.
And sea sickness. 🤮
........... among other things, 💩
Wow I’m early. Keep up the good work.
Thanks early, good to see you here
I actually have promotional pictures of that proposed Expos stadium hanging in my den. They stand as a monument to what could have been for my lost franchise. Loria was the original Spanos.
Toronto had a stadium plan in the 50s for a floating stadium in the lake (where Ontario Place is now) that was literally the Astrodome Ctrl+C - Ctrl+V onto the water.
"Boston visitor kicked to death" appropriate for both 1962 and 2020
I'm kind of shocked the Expos proposed stadium was going to be sponsored by Labatt, instead of Molson, considering Molson is based in Montreal.
Molson did end up sponsoring the football stadium that the CFL Alouettes play in today.
Labatt piss water? C'mon man! You never tried Busch lite?
@@lincolntalkwithbillandjacq4928 Had that happened Washington, DC baseball fans would still driving to Baltimore to see the O's.
@@workingclassrunner actually the football stadium isn’t named after the beer. It was named after Percival Molson who was a star athlete in Quebec and McGill University, and a World War I soldier who died in battle. While he does have a connection to the family of the brewery (great grandson of John Molson), the stadium was named like how Busch Stadium (Sportsman Park version) was named such. Named after a person, even if it was also the same name of a beer that was sold by the family.

That floating stadium proposal has got to be one of the craziest architectural ideas I’ve ever seen!
This video made me belly laugh several times. You're hilarious, man.
Last time i was this early spring training was on
Super Bowl XXII was an American football game between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Washington Redskins and American Football Conference (AFC) champion Denver Broncos to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 1987 season. The Redskins defeated the Broncos by the score of 42-10, winning their second Super Bowl. The game was played on January 31, 1988 at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, which was the first time that the Super Bowl was played there.
The last one was crazy , nuts and insane love the work
The Rays Has 2 Unbuilt Stadiums,One Was At Downtown St.Pete On The Site Of AL Lang Field,It Was Also To Open In 2012 But Due To Funding Issues It Died In 2008,
The Second Was In Carillon,FL Called Rays Park In Carillon,Just An Few Miles North Of Tropicana Field,It Was Estimated Between $424 to $574 Million,Would Have Included a 35,000 seat ballpark and with many roof options but it died at the same year as Cisco Field in 2015
Always love a 5 points vids stadium video
Mets and Yankees designs were used in All Star Baseball 04
Good shit keep up the quality
I've been a long time subscriber and love the channel ..... I am from Atlanta and just love that you mention Everytime you can the worst night of my life.... LMFAO 👍🤘💯
Never4get
There was actually a baseball stadium in Sacramento next to the Sleeptrain Center that they started construction on but abandoned. It was a stadium to try and lure in the A's and Raiders. Ariel shots actually show the footprint of what would have been a baseball stadium. It looked like even the dugouts were built.
There was a plan to build a domed stadium in Brooklyn in the 1950's.
Before Target Field was built, the Twins proposed a retractable roof stadium on the Minneapolis riverfront.
You’re very correct about Brooklyn. O’Malley proposed a domed stadium. The blame for the Dodgers moving to LA lies mostly on that SOB Robert Moses wanting giant parking lots, rather than the stopping point of the Long Island Railroad.
Pittsburgh had a proposed stadium to be built over the Monongahela River to replace Forbes Field. It was a pretty crazy idea by the drawings.
Before Three Rivers Stadium was built in Pittsburgh, one of the ideas proposed was to build a giant bridge over one of the rivers and build the stadium on that bridge. They also planned to build parking and a hotel on this bridge and were apparently inspired by The Jetsons.
This was was a great vid especially for a guy that likes baseball and stadiums can u do a part 2
I actually was kind of intrigued by that Idea in Vegas about the three different facilities
Thank you for reminding me about my hockey team’s failures in a baseball video. You truly remain undefeated 😔
Thing about the Giants territorial rights over San José---those rights were originally owned by the Athletics but they were given to the Giants in an attempt to keep them in San Francisco when it looked they might be leaving the Bay Area. Their kindness has not been reciprocated. Make no mistake, while the Athletics might have wanted another baseball team on the other side of the bridge, the Giants want the whole Bay Area to themselves.
I am surprise the Raiders owners return the favor by suing the 49ers for moving to Santa Clara.
The A's had no business moving from Kansas City in the first place, as they had good attendance there. The Giants owned the Bay Area from 1958 until that move. It was Mays, McCovey, etc. I resented that move and as I'm been a Giants fan since I can remember, kindergarten and 1959, I always rooted for the Giants. As far as I'm concerned, the A's can move anywhere they want, and why should they now affect 3,000 jobs of longshoremen to get a stadium in downtown Oakland? Oakland makes more money from their shipping businesses. Portland would be a better choice than Las Vegas, though, but if they want to stay in Oakland, then do what the city would rather they do: have the Coliseum partially demolished, rebuilt, and in the meantime play at Oracle Park for a year or two. By the way, Oakland, after having attendance like 600 per game in 1981, considered moving from the Bay Area then! The Giants were in the Bay Area first! I also will remind you that the Raiders played at Kezar and Candlestick their first two years in existence, '60 and '61. I bet you didn't know that or that they wore black and gold then too!
6:27 guaranteed rate gets a lot of hate. Yes the name is brutal but man I love being able to walk all the way around the field. Should’ve been facing Willis tower too probably
Wicked Sharks Burns! HAHAHA! S*** yeah! Love FivePoints
Love this Chanel
Speaking of the White Sox, before building what is now Guarenteed Rate Field, the team was offered a stadium design from local architect Philip Bess that would’ve been similar to Camden Yards; with the field in Armour Park and the grandstand facing the Chicago skyline.
Of course, the team rejected it!
I am familiar with that plan & it’s a damn shame that never happened.
This video needs a part 2!!!
You forgot to include the Dodgers proposed dome stadium in the late 50's. When their idea was turned down, they moved the team from Brooklyn to LA.
I've literally never been this early, so like, I have no idea how to act but Keep up the great videos man, you are beginning to evolve into one of my favorite channels with the amazing content you've been putting out
Thanks man
8:33 I'm talking this from Tree's book
F You Spanos
This is so sick!! I love the subtle jokes too, it's Shea btw 😂😂
Also, can't wait till you hit 1Million subss
Thanks bro
Montreal took so long to pay back their debt from the Olympics
The A’s and failed stadium plans go together like the Bash Brothers and steroids
Ayes a new vid. Gotta love it
Best channel ever!
•That Shea Dome looked sweet!
•Colorado's Parked hell cool too!!!
•Prison Toliet field. Haha
•I like how San Diego was thinking out of the box. Well out on the water technically.. pretty cool concept.
Yes do one on the Oakland A's and Tampa Bay because how the hell they don't have a stadium after all these years!
Five Point is just about on the same level as Jon Bois...
Amazing video
What about the proposed Brooklyn Dome and the 1990s plan to replace Fenway?
Retractable roof? Didn’t know that. But hosting concerts there would’ve paid homage to the famous Beatles concert at Shea Stadium.
Wasn't Shea supposed to have a dome?
Hey 5PV, you should do a video about a hockey arena that was proposed but never built in the Norfolk, VA area. It would have housed the Rhinos, a failed major league hockey team pitched by one George Shinn.
Awwwwwe yeaaaaa
More stadium talk.
Let’s Go 🏟
as a nova kid living in houston
i found myself nodding to the loudoun and traffic points LOL thank you for that
Ngl I wasn’t expecting a roast of LoCo 😂😂😂
Great video, I can write an AFL stadium video script
That Denver structure looked like some Star Wars Pod Racer stadium shit. 😂
Even in a video about planned MLB stadiums, Falcons fans can’t catch a break.
Excellent video my friend
Imagine the mix of drunkness and sea sickness at those Padres and chargers games... would’ve been glorious
“Giant metallic butthole” might well be the funniest phrase in the history of TH-cam
I smell a new video series with this.
The Loudoun bit is both hilarious and accurate.
One of the five points in every FivePointsVids is the ad-read
Unrelated to the topic at hand, but the background music choice for this vid is really good.
Love the vid, only issue is, as a Boston resident, Norwood is way more than 15 mins from Fenways current location
Omg that last one lmfao
Addison also tried to lure the Cubs a few years back as well. Not sure if they offer the same stadium design. Tampa Bay also had a design for a potential stadium with a canvas roof as well
what will i ever do without fivepoints talking about my ball hair
I love ur video
Definitely gave the video a like for that Sharks dig...GKG!
Hearing jokes about how San Jose (Sharks) choke makes me laugh. It hurts, but makes me laugh. It's tough being a fan of them
I’m a sharks fan man that was cold 😂😂
Do the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles!!!!
I thought you had discussed everything there is to discuss about stadiums but boy I was wrong
Great video. A quick note about the New York Mets / Yankees stadium proposals - it wasn't *just* Mayor Giuliani leaving office.
To quote Tobias Funke, "I don't want to blame it all on 9/11, but it certainly didn't help."
2:42 "Cisco Field"
This is off topic, but interestingly enough, I have a pretty clear memory of Oracle Park actually named Cisco Field for a while. It could be just me, but I'd thought I share this.
Ok that last one was pretty dope ngl, I feel like in a controlled setting, that could work! But certainly not on the literal OCEAN
The retractable stadiums for the Mets and Yankees can be seen and played on in All-Star Baseball 2005.
49 minutes late, and it’s the earliest I’ve ever been
Thinking of Yankee Stadium as a dome just made my soul die a little.
Great video. Couldn’t click on it faster. You should do proposed franchises in any sport
On a smaller scale but they have pontoon stands in Berlin that can move between rowing lake and canoeing course. Although the whole thing was man made so no tides or so on.
You ain’t lying about that No.VA/DMV traffic 💯
comedy and facts lmao
The traffic around that Vegas stadium complex would have been a total nightmare. They had no real plan for how to manage it. They have no real plan for the traffic around the Raiders' new stadium now. They're just magically expecting all 70,000 fans to carpool or walk in or something.
In some fantasy-future setting you bet your ass one of these exists, especially the one with the moving stands
The Rays should build the first underwater stadium. Behind the outfield seats would be a massive glass wall with the cities aquarium in it
Regarding the last entry (I won't spoil it by mentioning the city's name), that same city has been trying to replace its nearly 100-year-old international airport for decades. The only thing they lack is a flat tract of land big enough for 10,000-foot runways. In the mid-1990s, the city proposed building a floating airport -- a la the then-new Kansai International Airport -- a few miles southwest of the proposed stadium you mentioned.
1. I live in Massachusetts. It does not take 15 minutes to get to Boston from Norwood.
2. Walter O'Malley proposed a domed stadium in Brooklyn with the internet to keep the Dodgers from moving. When the city rejected it, O'Malley moved the team.
3. Before John Henry took over the team, the Yawkey Trust, led by John Harrington, wanted to build a waterfront ballpark in South Boston. Charles Dolan, who was one of the frontrunners to buy the team, would have gone through with this proposal. The team was sold to John Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino (in a fixed bag job of a sale orchestrated by Bud Selig, which is another story for another day) with one of the conditions being to save and preserve Fenway Park. This is why you have concerts, hockey games, extreme sports and football games at Fenway.
I didn’t know about Addison Field. Gonna get some from OOTP to make that for me.
6:29 almost forgot to mention,in the same year Of 2004 a stadium was proposed to also lure the expos to Norfolk, VA
But Failed because NO Baseball team wants to play in Norfolk
Not an A's fan, I want them to get a new stadium but I'm so happy they did not come to SJ. SJ is slowly turning into LA, last thing they need is a baseball team.
How could you miss the Pirate's stadium that was supposed to be built on a bridge over the Allegheny River? (Looked pretty cool, though.)
Now there's rumors that the Kc Royals are getting a new Stadium
I hope they don't, Kauffman is the best,😭
The downtown idea is stupid. Part of it's greatness is the tailgating and ease of access
EXACTLY
