What’s this obsession with retractable roofs, bro? Here you are always begging for more personality and charm to be added to stadiums, yet you’re completely blind to the fact that roofs absolutely kill everything about stadiums. To say nothing about how it kills baseball. Baseball is meant to be played outside. Real fans want it to be played outside. So this retractable roof narrative is very tired.
The crazy thing about these convertible roofs, they're not even open half the time. T-Mobile Park in Seattle & SkyDome in Toronto are really the only ones that have it open more times than not.
The only time I've been at a stadium with retractable roof was in Miami. It was horrible. Did not feel like baseball AT ALL. They should not be allowed, other than places where weather is a huge factor. That being said, I think the places that have them, probably should
@@jerrodmays83 I went to Loan Depot in Miami for the 2nd game of the season, on day that wasn't even 85 and it wasn't even open. Didn't feel like I was at a baseball game.
Here he goes again. Put a roof over Yankee Stadium for too much rain. Put a roof over Dodger Stadium because it’s too hot. To heck with it. This guy should petition Manfried to roof every MLB ballpark and call it a day.
The Outfield suggestion for Yankee Stadium is a cute idea, but don't forget that it's built into a city block. It's also surrounded by a park and right behind the Outfield are the tracks for the four train subway. There's absolutely no room to build anything like that
There actually is behind the leftfield wall. Behind the LF wall there's some sort of utility building. Not sure if it's for MTA or stadium and then a parking lot behind that. They could certainly build there, whether it means taking down the building and or lot, or just building on top of them. Don't think it would ever be done, but it's not impossible. What you're thinking of is in centerfield and right.
No, they didn’t consider a retractable roof. A rendering doesn’t mean they’re considering it. There are probably hundreds of renderings of each stadium. Enough.
Yankee Stadium is an absolute baseball cathedral. I've been there - it's a beautiful stadium and a national landmark. Yankee Stadium is staying put. Citi Field...I'd love to see a game there, it's got a long lifespan ahead of it with all the money Steve Cohen's putting into it.
@@hs5331 Steve Cohen's putting a lot of money into Citi Field and the surrounding Flushing Meadows area. He is really going to revitalize the Citi Field area. Love having a super rich owner.
Hate the Yankees, but have been to both the old and new (albeit for a football game for the new one). I think the new one is far better than the old one, but my Dad loves the old one only because of what it was before the 70’s renovations. The inside of new Yankee Stadium is awesome, but not a fan of the outfield. Haven’t been to Citi Field, but I want to. I think it’s a cool looking park, and way better than any other stadium in their division.
@@S4MVP22 that doesn’t count. When looking from home plate to the outfield, you can’t see it. No reason to get your panties in a bunch, but the stadium faces the wrong direction.
Pretty dumb vid if you know anything about NYC. THESE stadiums were built to stand for like 50-75 years with just reno’s here and there. You don’t just build a stadium in NYC
Nothing wrong with these two parks. I feel like you're just pumping out content just for no reason. It diminishes all your great work on legit stadium breaking news around the leagues.
Look at how many "what is the future" videos he's made in the last 2 weeks. Dude would rather spam post videos than actually try to make something unique.
I am a Yankees fan but I prefer Citifield. I get that no one wants Yankee Park or Yankee Field. They have to build a "stadium" but does it have to feel so gray and devoid of character? As for retractable roofs, they're a necessary evil. They certainly have a place in many cities but they're all ugly to me.
The best thing that ever happened was the city not giving the money for a roofed stadium back in the day before this version came to pass. That would have been hideous
I attended a game at the old Yankees Stadium back in '01, and as a fan of the team, it was an amazing experience. I want to visit this new stadium to watch a game. I don't think adding a roof would be necessary, and the baseball ends in October or November for the World Series (Let's go Yankees).
But at the same time having a roof would eliminate the risk of weather inconveniences and can host more events and so on. Hell, the A’s, Bears, and Titans are getting new stadiums with roofs.
@RB01.10 The Yankees make more than any of the teams you mentioned without a roof. The A's need a roof if the move to Las Vegas goes without a hitch since it gets ridiculously hot during the baseball season. The Bears and Titans getting roof stadiums makes sense because they want to host Super Bowls, and you need a climate controled environment to do so. The Bears is having a tough time trying to squeeze the money to build a stadium next to the old one.
@@nyfinest017 I see what you’re saying but at the same time a roof eliminates any chance of weather inconveniences. You go and spend time to go out to the game and spend on parking, refreshments etc only for it to get rained out is a massive bummer and inconvenience. The weather has only and will only keep getting more extreme due to climate change.
@RB01.10 Ginger explained it well in the video that the money to put a roof at Yankees Stadium would be extremely expensive. Not to mention, the city would have to chip in, and things are not going well in NYC right now.
@@nyfinest017 I understand the fact that it would’ve been extremely expensive to put a roof on, but as you mentioned the Yankees have had more than enough money that it could’ve been done. Especially over 20 years ago when the new stadium was in the concept phase. I never understood why taxpayers have to partially foot the bill though when it comes to any stadium. Like these franchises, especially the big market ones can’t cover most if not all of it?
@@Rockett16 Ummm I disagree. You have to at least view the video before commenting. Not watching the video to me doesnt give you the right to comment AT ALL!
I think the Old Yankee Stadium is remembered fondly by traditional fans, but to be perfectly honest, I prefer the new stadium. The old one became outdated.
The few places I could see is in either East Harlem or Columbia University Baker Field or try Long island City, Flushing, or Jamaica (Queens that is) or Williamsburg-Greenpoint, or Staten Island West
Mets fan here: The earliest renderings of what eventually became Citi field did have a retractable roof but it was shot down due to cost. Nobody ever talked about a roof on the “sacred cathedral” office building. The Yankees are like a corporate law firm that has a baseball team on the side.
@@JD_Walker Well Citi Field looks much better without a roof. I've driven by Citi Field. It is enormous. Oh, and thanks for breaking our hearts. -Red Sox fan
Who the hell is this guy? It's bad enough that Yankee Stadium was destroyed for "Macombs Dam Park," which is what I call it. The field the Yankees currently play in has all the charm of the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas versus Paris, France. As for CitiFIeld, it's a nice mix of Ebbets Field & some Polo Grounds features, but... today's fans think of the Dodgers and Giants as traitors to NYC. And they are right. About a dome for CitiField being too expensive, it isn't. If Wall Street robber baron Steve Cohen wanted to do it, he could. Currently he's more interested in building a casino next to the ballpark... with taxpayer approval and money. An ideal the Wilpons wanted to do. Cohen's Mets purchase seems more like a cover for the proposed casino project than anything else. Baseball and pro sports, as well as "college" minor league sports have jumped the shark. They are TV shows funded by taxpayers, gambling operations, TV networks with the profits going to owners and players, who are just as bad. And to keep the con coming they change the rules, the nature of their sports every Fxukx*$g day. (Off soap box.)
It's amazing how Old Yankee Stadium can last 85 years, but the essentially new $2.2 billion stadium can barely make it 16 years before talk arises of another new Yankee Stadium.... It's amazing how these modern stadiums are such throw-away buildings any more now. That speaks volumes of the lack of talent designing these large venues & how dollars are spent by team owners. It appears the investment put into these stadiums is not very good in my opinion......
Call me a whiner. I haven’t been to either stadium (last was one game each in final year 2008). Not paying $100 for still not that decent seats (my free corporate bloc free tix contact no longer reliable). Protective netting. Last game in 2008 dropped and damaged a bit my flip phone when had to open for security (left bad taste in my mouth). Baseball generally better on TV anyway. Could go on (don’t like DH in NL…etc), but may get called a whiner.
Yankee stadium can be improved with one change. Lower the prices of the seats behind home plate. Those seats "must" be filled. It is a bad look to see those seats empty.
Both stadiums are doing great. Been to multiple games at both this season. Would love a solution to the Yankee stadium entry situation, but no complaints otherwise
What are you talking about? There's been no talk of renovations.The stadiums are 15 years old lmaoo Just posted videos just to post them You can tell he's not from new york city
The old Yankee Stadium was the loudest baseball stadium. It really was an advantage I believe. The fans were much more on top of the field. And it had a scent to it ( no, not urine!). The new stadium is nice but it doesn’t have the identity like the old one! Citi Field is actually a nicer stadium than the new Yankee Stadium. It’s one of the top 5 stadiums in baseball.
The casino planned to be built by Citi Field recently got rejected by a state senator. This means it gives the Jets another opportunity to move back to Queens and get out of MetLife.
Yankee stadium stays the same. People come to Yankee stadium to watch the Ruths, Jeters and Judges play, Yankees try not to take much of the distractions off the players. You got teams like the Mets who need mascots and things to entertain the fans from whats going on in the field😂
I remember the first big renovation of Shea Stadium which was a little over 20 years from when the stadium opened. They removed the large blue and orange tiles that encircled the stadium then a few guys grabbed some paint and painted the outside of the stadium blue renovation complete the Mets went for many years drawing millions of fans
Yankee Stadium: Difficult to find escalators to upper levels...has none of the charm of the old Stadium which was in fine condition despite the stories the team floated through the fawning media, as you say, more of a shopping mall than a ballpark. Citi: A corporate amusement park with a baseball diamond. Don't need two scoreboards... seats uncomfortable in upper levels... segregated by class based on your ticket--- surrounding developments won't compensate for high prices - see the disaster that is Hudson Yards in Manhattan.... citizens fed up with giving these two-billion-dollar entertainment companies tax breaks....
It’s far better than the old one. Now, don’t get me wrong the old was was legendary and was fine for what it was (I went to it twice). But it became way too much to having to keep renovating it and it became just incredibly obsolete in the end (not to mention very crammed). It was also starting to fall apart. As that concrete incident in 1998 showed (thank goodness there was no one window when that happened, imagine if something did happen to someone). At least the old site is preserved with Heritage Field, and the museum showcases the old one.
They really messed up not making them retractable in a place like NYC. Every modern stadium should at least have a retractable roof, because open air stadiums lose a ton of usage due to climate and bad weather. These places are basically useless during off season, especially in winter months. Why would you kneecap yourself from being able to hold events year round regardless of weather? Both stadiums are actually beautiful and enjoyable, but having a retractable roof wouldn't take anything away from them.
The cheap and practical solution to rainy/torrid weather should be so obvious. Play only in the Sun Belt in the spring and autumn and only up North during the summer. A computer should be able to create such a schedule with ease.
Yankee Stadium is definitely over-hated. Most people who knock it do so for clout and never actually go. I miss the old Stadium bc it’s the first stadium I went to and I prefer the old architecture. In hindsight I wish they did another long renovation of it instead of building a new one, but the new Stadium is objectively a nicer, more comfortable stadium. The only thing that’s a real miss about the new Stadium is the way they buried monument park.
Both stadiums are great. Funny enough if you ask most Yankee fans (honest ones anyway) they will say they did a better job with Citi field compared to Yankee stadium even with Yankee stadium costing a ton more to build
2.2 Bill without a retractable roof is wild .. and even citi field we for our price tag we should have gotten a modern retractable roof. We avg 50 inches of rain spread evenly throughout the year & our climate is shambolic for April and October.
There is no reason to believe that 15-year-old Yankee Stadium and Citi Field will be replaced anytime soon. Took a LONG LONG time for their predecessors to be replaced in 2009. Again, getting New York City real estate and sports venue projects built is incredibly slow. Slower than anywhere else in North America.
No Jets stadium near Citi Field unless NYCFC decides they don't want their new stadium after all, and expands it or tears it down to build the Jets Stadium. About the only way I can see it ever happening is if they do landfill in Flushing Bay. Good luck on THAT... (*EYEROLL*)
Regarding Citi Field and other MLB stadiums like Coors Field, etc, I don’t see why they build triple high decks way out in the outfield. Those high grandstands should end a little beyond the foul poles then just have a single deck of bleachers or pavilions in the outfield. Good examples are Dodger Stadium, Busch Stadium, Kauffman Stadium, Oracle Stadium in SF, Yankee Stadium, etc.
If Depressed Ginger had his way, MLB teams would have to build a new stadium every twenty years. I wish that the new Yankee Stadium had used their pre-1970s-remodel dimensions, but MLB loves home runs.
Yankee stadium is hanging around for some time. They don’t need a roof up there, it hasn’t affected them as much nor are they struggling in attendance due to the brand name
7:55 that area where you mentioned with the solar panels that's where the stadium employees and players park. I'm surprised that citi field doesn't have some sort of an underground parking lot for the players like they do for the Yankees players at Yankees Stadium.
They should do as did the Jets and the Giants. Move to New Jersey. They could build a beautiful retractable dome on the Jersey City Waterfront. Scheduling problems could be handled by day nighters.
They are both 15 years old they are fine
I think Yankee stadium will last until 2094
Been to both. Both great ballparks!
NYC should have one team not two. Is too much also traffic is horrible supporting two teams
lol. There’s nothing that can be added to Yankee stadium due to the area
I don't know why I clicked, but it's just pissing me off now that you're talking just to talk.

lolol.. Dodger Stadium literally gets one rainout every 3 or 4 years
Some parks should not have a roof. Could you imagine Oracle, PNC, or Fenway with a roof? I don't want to think about it.

The cheap and practical solution to rainy/torrid weather should be so obvious. Play only in the Sun Belt in the spring and autumn and only up North during the summer. A computer should be able to create such a schedule with ease.
Yankee Stadium is definitely over-hated. Most people who knock it do so for clout and never actually go. I miss the old Stadium bc it’s the first stadium I went to and I prefer the old architecture.
In hindsight I wish they did another long renovation of it instead of building a new one, but the new Stadium is objectively a nicer, more comfortable stadium. The only thing that’s a real miss about the new Stadium is the way they buried monument park.
Both stadiums are great. Funny enough if you ask most Yankee fans (honest ones anyway) they will say they did a better job with Citi field compared to Yankee stadium even with Yankee stadium costing a ton more to build
2.2 Bill without a retractable roof is wild .. and even citi field we for our price tag we should have gotten a modern retractable roof. We avg 50 inches of rain spread evenly throughout the year & our climate is shambolic for April and October.
There is no reason to believe that 15-year-old Yankee Stadium and Citi Field will be replaced anytime soon. Took a LONG LONG time for their predecessors to be replaced in 2009. Again, getting New York City real estate and sports venue projects built is incredibly slow. Slower than anywhere else in North America.
No Jets stadium near Citi Field unless NYCFC decides they don't want their new stadium after all, and expands it or tears it down to build the Jets Stadium. About the only way I can see it ever happening is if they do landfill in Flushing Bay. Good luck on THAT... (*EYEROLL*)
The Mets are not involved with the soccer stadium or the new shops and housing. The casino and park is still up for consideration by the city.
I doubt yankees stadium would change especially to get a roof. yankees fans dont put up with that. they wouldnt let it leave the bronx
What's the future of the Dodgers...will they stay in Brooklyn do you think?
Regarding Citi Field and other MLB stadiums like Coors Field, etc, I don’t see why they build triple high decks way out in the outfield. Those high grandstands should end a little beyond the foul poles then just have a single deck of bleachers or pavilions in the outfield. Good examples are Dodger Stadium, Busch Stadium, Kauffman Stadium, Oracle Stadium in SF, Yankee Stadium, etc.
If Depressed Ginger had his way, MLB teams would have to build a new stadium every twenty years.
I wish that the new Yankee Stadium had used their pre-1970s-remodel dimensions, but MLB loves home runs.
Try every 5 years. It seems that to him, MLB Stadiums age very fast
This dude just makes stuff up
If he had his way, it'd be every twenty years. But then if he got his way, he'd start arguing for it to be every 10 years
He will be saying Globe Life Field will need to be replaced next year
Yankee stadium is hanging around for some time. They don’t need a roof up there, it hasn’t affected them as much nor are they struggling in attendance due to the brand name
Good morning DG ☀️
I wish he read his comments... 🫤
Im still waiting for Yankee stadium to have Jon Voight day.
Agree with u 100% on OF advertising at YS. Need to open the place up and take that down.
The problem with the new Yankee stadium is obstructed seats in the outfield
7:55 that area where you mentioned with the solar panels that's where the stadium employees and players park. I'm surprised that citi field doesn't have some sort of an underground parking lot for the players like they do for the Yankees players at Yankees Stadium.
Yankee stadium will last 100 years like the old one. It really is made of sturdy stuff.
Citi Field is built on swampland so it most likely wont be able to support a retractible roof
Nothing they are brand new just expect annual upgrades and maintenance
They should do as did the Jets and the Giants.
Move to New Jersey.
They could build a beautiful retractable dome on the Jersey City Waterfront.
Scheduling problems could be handled by day nighters.
what does "in and round new york city" means??
