We showcase the stadiums and arenas of the New York Metro Area. We have set a capacity cut off point of 10 000 for American Football and 5 000 for everything else. Thanks for watching!
Hinchcliffe Stadium in Paterson, NJ is in the process of being renovated to host the Indy League New Jersey Jackals. The Jackals announced their move to Paterson last week and the venue will still be used by the Paterson school system.
You spelled the city wrong. There is only ONE "T". It is Paterson, New Jersey. There is also William Paterson University, located in Wayne Township, New Jersey.
20:20 The census bureau actually does consider Trenton/Princeton its own separate metropolitan area. What you're probably looking at is New York's combined statistical area (CSA), which is a census grouping that adds a few cities that, despite being their own metro area, are nonetheless economically or culturally linked to New York. I agree with including Trenton in the video for completion's sake, though. It's nice to see a beautiful ballpark get a spotlight!
I understand the need for the attendance cutoff, but it would've been nice to see Fordham's Rose Hill Gymnasium on this list. It's one of the oldest arenas, if not the oldest, in all of NCAA Division I basketball (built in 1925). It's also a pretty nice-looking building, particularly the exterior.
14:24 - 14:50: Fans of Wes Anderson's films might be familiar with Forest Hills Stadium. A few scenes for his 2001 THE ROYAL TENNANBAUMS were shot there. Probably the funniest is when Gene Hackman is driving around the stadium in a go-cart!
Very informative video with great arial photography. My only wish is that you added the city/town of each facility. Many of us in the NYC metro area are not familiar with more than a few of these stadiums/arenas. Thanks for posting.
For the last two years, the County Center has been used as a vaccination site for COVID, and therefore, the WC Knicks moved to Webster Bank Arena, as you've noted. I had season tickets to the first year of the Westchetser Knicks in 2014, went to a ton of high school games there, and also got my COVID vaccine there, which is pretty cool.
Delighted to see you included Hinchliffe Stadium. Played b-ball there in the 60's for the Paterson city leagues and Kennedy HS. Thanksgiving Day between Central (later Kennedy) and Eastside High School was a major event at this venue.
Yeah, my school's stadium was nowhere near the cutoff point, I have to admit. I think we estimated that at WT Clarke High School, my alma mater and Chuck D's, Rams Stadium (Now Coach Jack Boyle Memorial Stadium) had a capacity of about 1500, and no lights. I've heard they're looking at turf at least, to save on the upkeep costs (which would help, there was gravel kicking up when I was _marching_ on the field with my French horn, to say nothing of the football team).
Been waiting for this, which is somewhat ridiculous since I live here and I know what our stadiums, at least the big ones, look like already. It's a little like excitedly opening your school yearbook to look for your own picture. Anyway, here we go... (Edit: I just want to point out the Harlem River is not man-made as a whole. Only the very northern part of it where it meets the Hudson River, adjacent to Columbia's Wien Stadium and also known by its Dutch name Spuyten Duyvil, was rerouted in the 19th century to make it friendlier to shipping. The legal boundaries of Manhattan were defined when the Harlem River still followed its natural course in that area, so there is a small area of what now appears to be the Bronx because it's now on the opposite side of the river, called Marble Hill, that is legally part of Manhattan)
MSG also has a train station in the basement, Penn Station is the busiest transportation hub in the western hemisphere. Or maybe more accurately Penn Station got an arena on the roof.
Bridgeport made it (Total Mortgage Arena) made it. There also use to be a baseball stadium for the Bluefish next to it but they moved. Its now a amphitheater.
It was great to see my Alma mater, Montclair, represented not once but twice. There’s also a football stadium (Sprague Field aka Sam Mills Stadium, 6000 seats) there that saw HOF great Sam Mills play there in the 80’s.
The NY Islanders actually left Nassau Coliseum in 2015 to play in Barclays Center. The layout for hockey was totally unsuitable, as it meant the scoreboard was actually not over center ice, and many fans from Long Island didn’t follow the team to Brooklyn. The Islanders returned to Nassau Coliseum to split their home games between there and Barclays Center in 2018. The Islanders quit Barclays for good in the 2020-21 season while the new UBS Arena at nearby Belmont Park was finished.
I played football a bunch of time at the Newark spots stadium against Barringer High School. Also, My first job was at the yogi Berra stadium concession stand
21:10 Oh, you mean Brendan Byrne Arena. I'm sitting here thinking about listing all the Grateful Dead shows in these arenas. Meadowlands, MSG, Nassau, Rutgers, Princeton, Stoney Brook...that's like 200 shows at least.
Newark Schools Stadium was renovated. Once it was made like a horseshoe. Once where the archers are was seats. Hintchclife Stadium is/was being renovated.
Patriots Stadium is where Monty Brewster pitched against the Yankees for the Hackensack Bulls in Brewster's Millions. Nice to see the train tracks don't go through the outfield anymore.
I've been to one game at Yankees Stadium and half a dozen Devils games and two concerts at Prudential Center. I've driven past Rutgers' football stadium many times since I live in New Brunswick.
Do Upsate NY next please!! Syracuse, Albany, Buffalo, Rochester all have good stadiums. Utica, Watertown, Binghamton, Ithaca, Cooperstown, Glens Falls to name a few more places!
Agree was going to request upstate NY one. I grew up in Southern Ontario and spent a few summer holidays camping in the Finger Lakes and also Allegheny State Park. Beautiful area and I have a soft spot for Syracuse U!!!
@@bobbyboy1439 ha! OK I will, I haven't watched college sports for years I see they are not in the AP top 25 but they received some votes! The big memory for year is 1987 when they had Don McPherson as option QB and they went undefeated and tied Auburn in the Sugar Bowl! Carrier Dome sounded loud on my tv that year. Jim Boeheim was the legendary basketball coach at that time. Good memories, US college sports was really exciting in the 80s and early 90s, I miss those days.
@@neilwhitaker6284 Jim Boeheim is still the SU bball coach! Unfortunately, I don't think Cuse will be able to reach that level of greatness as they did in 1987 any time soon..
The New Jersey Jackals’ new home after they moved out of Yogi Berra Stadium is actually Hinchliffe Stadium. The stadium has gone through extensive renovations and like Yogi Berra will also feature a small museum this time about the history of Hinchliffe. In the same structure will house a concession area and a few other possible goodies. I’m glad that they revived an old stadium that was falling apart and would almost become a relic of history, but the Jackals and the people of Paterson were able to save it. The only complaint I’ll make is that the stadium doesn’t really look like it would be suitable for baseball, but however they can make it work.
I think Michie Stadium in West Point is technically still NY metro area, but otherwise excellent job. I live here and have never heard of some of these stadiums.
No gaelic park ,the Gaelic Athletic stadium in NY.The cut off is 5000 ,yes the stated capacity is 2000 in wikepedia however last week there was 9000 there
Fun fact about Meadowlands Arena and the Prudential Center. The Metropolitan Riveters are moving from The Prudential Center's practice arena (they didn't play in the actual arena) to the American Dream Ice Rink in the Meadowlands Complex. Right next to the Meadowlands Arena. Which used to host hockey. Why the Mall didn't use the Arena for their hockey rink, and why the Riveters are playing in the Mall and not the Arena, I have no idea
Nice job. I live about an hour south in the Philly suburbs. Disappointed you didn’t include two hockey venues in Nee Jersey: Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City (might be in Philly metro technically but it’s halfway between) is a 10,000 seater art deco style built in 1929 and also hosts the Miss America pageant. Baker Rink at Princeton only holds 2,100 but I believe is the 2nd oldest hockey arena in the world still in use today. I played there a few times in high school and has the best ice I’ve ever skated on.
You missed several. All the St Johns University facilities. Jack Kaiser Stadium (baseball), Belson Stadium (soccer, lacrosse). And while the basketball team uses Madison Square Garden for events, they have a basketball arena on campus called Carnesecca Arena. And if you did Wall Stadium which does Motorsports, you could of mentioned Riverhead Raceway.
Citi Field’s home run apple is a tradition that they carried over from Shea Stadium
And they didn't bring it over initially until we all went nuts and demanded it.
Shea's is outside by the 7 line station

Trenton and Princeton is way closer to Philly than NYC and are more likely considered part of the Philly Metro area
I think most people consider Trenton part of the Philadelphia market.
@@rashaadjorden1187 Except for the US Gov't, the most important decision-maker.
OMG I am honored! My photo of Prudential Center was used! I posted my photo to wikipedia with the CC SA 4.0! I am Andrew nyr! :)
OMG Madison Square Garden too!
OMG UBS Arena too!
nice
Congratulations
the subtle comedy is a great addition to these videos

Nice job! I can't wait for more megacities with their stadiums and arenas we can see here!!
Michie Stadium at West Point is closer to NYC then some of the others. Plus it is very historic and iconic.
Very informative video with great arial photography. My only wish is that you added the city/town of each facility. Many of us in the NYC metro area are not familiar with more than a few of these stadiums/arenas. Thanks for posting.
Major thumbs up on wanting the city names.
I believe Wall Stadium is in Wall township NJ.
For the last two years, the County Center has been used as a vaccination site for COVID, and therefore, the WC Knicks moved to Webster Bank Arena, as you've noted. I had season tickets to the first year of the Westchetser Knicks in 2014, went to a ton of high school games there, and also got my COVID vaccine there, which is pretty cool.
I got my COVID vaccine in the Cleveland Charge’s Wolstein Center
What makes Hinchcliffe Stadium historic is that it was home to the New York Black Yankees and the New York Cubans of the Negro National League.
Delighted to see you included Hinchliffe Stadium. Played b-ball there in the 60's for the Paterson city leagues and Kennedy HS. Thanksgiving Day between Central (later Kennedy) and Eastside High School was a major event at this venue.
Kind of wild to see you down in Aussie showing off my hometown stadiums. Cheers! 🍻

12:20 The New York Mets should have their own retractable Ballpark in Brooklyn, New York right next to Barclays Center
I vote Mets
New York Islanders should rename "New York Kets"
@@mariagloriadelcarmen Agree
Kets for New York NHL
The Islanders should move to Baltimore, MD
Glad to see this of a video of New York of my hometown teams in the NY/NJ Tri-State Area, New York metro area best fans in sports
I enjoy all you posts but this is one of my top three.
MSG also has a train station in the basement, Penn Station is the busiest transportation hub in the western hemisphere. Or maybe more accurately Penn Station got an arena on the roof.
This is making me feel old. I was attending Stony Brook University when the new stadium opened and its been 20 years...
Bridgeport made it (Total Mortgage Arena) made it. There also use to be a baseball stadium for the Bluefish next to it but they moved. Its now a amphitheater.
The location was never mentioned - Bilgeport
Always cool to see how I've been to some of the stadiums while also learning more about a few I wasn't aware of before
It was great to see my Alma mater, Montclair, represented not once but twice. There’s also a football stadium (Sprague Field aka Sam Mills Stadium, 6000 seats) there that saw HOF great Sam Mills play there in the 80’s.
Icahn Stadium is built on the old Downing Stadium that was once home to the New York Cosmos when Pele played there in the 1970's.

Citi Field is top notch (saying this as a Yankees fan).
The New York Islanders truly belong in Queens so that the NFL New York Jets and UFL New York Hittman can remain in Manhattan
perfect timing to upload this, AEW grand slam 2 is happening tonight in arthur ashe stadium
Yes it is I will be watching it tonight
Newark Schools Stadium was renovated. Once it was made like a horseshoe. Once where the archers are was seats. Hintchclife Stadium is/was being renovated.
I live close by
Patriots Stadium is where Monty Brewster pitched against the Yankees for the Hackensack Bulls in Brewster's Millions. Nice to see the train tracks don't go through the outfield anymore.
I think a video about the various stadiums in San Diego would be really cool. There's one college who has a baseball field with an ocean view 😎
I know Hobey Baker Arena in Princeton does not meet your minimum capacity threshold, but man is it a historic/unique place.
But its closer to Philly than anything?
Nassau Coliseum "is still a top notch venue." Bless your heart.
Thnx for saying it so I don’t have to
Nassau coliseum is beautiful
I was about to roll my eyes at your "apple a day joke" and then you pulled through hahahah
INCREIBLE
I honestly didn’t expect to see Stony Brook on here, but that was a pleasant surprise for me.
Thanks for another great video
Hinchcliffe was an absolute nightmare. Hated going to Eastside.
I've been to one game at Yankees Stadium and half a dozen Devils games and two concerts at Prudential Center. I've driven past Rutgers' football stadium many times since I live in New Brunswick.
FYI Hinchcliffe Stadium will be back in use next year; the MiLB New Jersey Jackals will play there next season...
10:20 The United Football League’s New Jersey Generals should make their games at MetLife Stadium
Definitely the best channel for info for stadiums.

No gaelic park ,the Gaelic Athletic stadium in NY.The cut off is 5000 ,yes the stated capacity is 2000 in wikepedia however last week there was 9000 there
I love New York stadiums
Before Arthur Ashe Stadium Louis Armstrong Arena was the main venue for the US Open
Do one on the stadium and arenas of south Florida….. PLEASE!!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
...is the last stadium, the race car stadium, the one that was the backdrop for that one Sopranos episode?
When you do stadiums of Georgia, can you add Cartersville high school Wienman stadium. It’s one of the best in GA
That was great!
The Jackals are actually moving to Hinchcliffe Stadium this year! So the stadium will be back in use!
Wow, I was just thinking that WWS hasn't uploaded anything in a while...and I come across this!
Excellent....no denying the Yanks have a great tiered system with infrastucture to match.
You should do stadiums/arenas in the State of Georgia
The Union School field on top of the school is pretty cool!!!
The pins snuck in make this video outstanding.
thanks, as a BK kid, w video
The old Yankee Stadium used to be home to the NY Giants. So Yankee Stadium hosting a football team is nothing new
You should do a video on Stadiums of the Columbus, OH area. There are alot of venues, than you would think.
Hinchliff Stadium is actually getting rebuilt to host the Jackals, relocating from Yogi Berra Stadium.
9:14 and 18:12 the New Jersey Devils should go to Trenton, New Jersey at Cure Insurence Arena
Trenton is the state capital of New Jersey
Yeah go from 19,000 seats to 8600 makes sense.
NHL makes a choice
Or NBA
They are restoring Hinchcliff Stadium. The Jackals will play there next year
2:30 shoulda kept the original acronym...
Pele made his American debut for the New York Cosmos at Downing Stadium (now Icahn Stadium)
replaced downing stadium. Also I believe Jesse Owens ran in Downing stadium for the Olympic trials before the olympics in Berlin
You should have added Yale Bowl! The Giants played there for one year!
You're pretty funny!
12:22 WNBA's New York Liberty plays at Barclays Bank Center
or Meadowlands Arena
That too
Decisions to make
They simply have too choose
2:32 “Formerly Software House International Technology” 💀
2:35 💯 killed me S.H.I.T.
Isn't that a herringbone floor in Barclays? Parquet is square, no?

I vote Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey
Me too
Queens New York Born and raised. now living on Long Island. This is my town!
NYCFC will have a future soccer specific stadium in Queens next to Citi Field.
I vote Brooklyn where the New York Nets are located
Or Meadowlands where the New York Giants

AC's hardly halfway between NY and Philly, and the 609's pretty much Philly territory.
Atlantic City is much closer to Philadelphia.
Boardwalk Hall is probably going to be in "The Stadiums of Philadelphia" video.
@@bebobebo4407 I’m dying for that video.

glad to see a lacrosse stadium finally get recognized on this channel 😂
Interesting/ useless fact about Barclay is that Bankers Steel of Lynchburg VA supplied most if not all of the steel used to construct the arena.
Do Boston next please!
I’ve had a fairly decent world wide stadium education over the last few years, I might apply to get on hard quiz here in oz and see how it goes…
citi field does host NYCFC sometimes WIde World of Stadiums

And while the basketball team uses Madison Square Garden for events, they have a basketball arena on campus called Carnesecca Arena.
And if you did Wall Stadium which does Motorsports, you could of mentioned Riverhead Raceway.
I'm not sure if you missed the intro, but I had to set a minimum capacity of 5 000. Otherwise it would be an hour long video.
I'm still hoping for a SF Bay Area edition of this.
What’s the name of the song you’re using in the background??
nycfc does also play at citified
NYCFC is building a new stadium across the street from Citi Field
Hinchcliffe stadium hosted autoracing too
