unfortunately literally every stadium in sports is considered outdated in 20 years now. And the billionaire owners don't have to build them, they just pressure the cities to build them for them.
Shea was a great place to see a game. Insane atmosphere and most sight lines were great. The infield mud was an added bonus, but they finally started re-sodding it in the late 70s when baseball was over.
@@Jeffrey-od9uk that never happens since the seasons never coincide. So there is never football line marking on a baseball diamond during baseball. While there’s no getting rid of the diamond. That is a problem of the past though. Seeing how they no longer share fields
One that didn't make the list was a stadium that was originally intended for a sport other than football, but ended up as an NFL team's home stadium. Not baseball, as so many NFL stadiums in the last few decades had to deal with, but bicycle racing! The Cycledrome, in Providence, Rhode Island, was the home of the Providence Steam Rollers, who were an NFL franchise from 1925-1933. The field was surrounded by a wooden cycling track, which tightly constricted the field of play, and limited the end zones to being only 5 yards deep, instead of the normal 10. Players tackled out of bounds also tended to find themselves on the wooden track, which during football games was crowded with fans watching the game.

The metrodome has a special place in my heart. Between the yearly sports trips with my dad who has sense passed and playing in there yearly for state football.
My grandfather told my mom (when she was a teenager) how they were gonna go to the Dome when it was completed, sadly he passed away before it was completed and never got to see it. My mom went to her first game there and and was like “this is for you dad”.
I never went there but it appeared from the tv to have a great atmosphere in the 90s. I don't think it should be on the list. Yes it became dated but in the 80s and 90s it seemed like a great venue for the time period.
nah, Ford Field still have a few more years before it gets beyond what the Silverdome was (1975-2001) (2002-20XX) for Ford Field. Only been there 22 years atm
When first built it was named Schaefer stadium named after Schaefer BEER... Schaefer is the one BEER to to have when you're having more then one, the team was sold several times and the stadium name changed a few times, I learned how to drink on Shaefer beer and Schlitz, I grew up two towns away from Schaefer stadium in Norfolk County Massachusetts and went to many Pat's games and concerts there the first year it was built
Foxborough Stadium was a lot of fun to see a game. But you pretty much nailed all of its shortcomings. From the bathrooms to the crazy traffic trying to leave after a game or concert.....LOL
Baltimore's Memorial Stadium. If you have watched highlights of the 1970 AFC Championship game (Raiders-Colts), the field, during the cold months, was all dirt. I believe that game was referred to as the Dust Bowl.
When I was 13, my dad took me to a game at Schaefer Stadium. It looked like a giant version of a high school stadium with two aluminum stands next to each other. And yes, it took an hour at least to get out, which made steam come out of my dad's ears. That footage of the Metrodome collapsing was unreal. But I guess they repaired it? After it got demolished and their new one wasn't ready, the games at TCF meant it was like old times at Metropolitan Stadium in late November or early December. They had one of those below zero playoff games there, too.
Wondered if “The World’s Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum” would make the list - Memorial Stadium, home of the Baltimore Colts (and Ravens) from 1953 to 1997.
The 49ers played at Kezar Stadium before Candlestick Park. It still exists, with the seating cut down, it is used for soccer, track meets, and high school football
Was looking for Kezar. What a dump. They used it for SFPD to practice riot control in 1980s. Many anarchist "rioters" would use or volunteer at Haight-Ashbury Soup Kitchen under the grandstand.
I remember watching the Bills and Jets playing at Shea Stadium in the mid-seventies. Half the field was snow covered and the other half mud with a nice big lake. You had to wait until the teams got to the lake in order to find out which team was which. That was how football was meant to be played and I'd take those old classic stadiums over the modern overpriced stadiums any day.
When I was in high school in the 70s, my buddies and I would drive in to Milwaukee on Packer Sundays. The Packers stunk in those days, and you could pick up tickets really cheap outside the stadium, especially if the weather was sketchy. We didn't care about sightlines or stadium aesthetics, it was just fun to go to an NFL game.
No way is the silverdome a top 10 of all time. It was one of the first domes, had massive seating capacity, hosted tons of concerts and things like wrestlemania. The only bad part was the turf was basically painted concrete
@@muddobber6863 I work pretty Much right across the freeway from it, actually got to watch them implode it from my office window, it was pretty cool actually. The first set failed and that was interesting too
I was living in Minneapolis in 2010 and when the dome collapsed I was in the city. We heard a loud bang, and the next morning, two mornings after my 2nd birthday, we heard on the news the metrodome collapsed
That's because the Coliseum was, by far, the worst multipurpose stadium ever designed. The baseball-to-football conversion was so painstaking and inefficient, they had to wait until the end of baseball season to do it.
@@RansomRambula-no6yo The only real issues were the roof and field. While it was also generally bare bones elsewhere that's not necessarily a negative just not a positive
@mpetersen6 November 1981 before it opened December 1982 April 1983 and the final one December 2010 and it nearly blown off during a game in April 1986
Schaefer Stadium was built for $7 million. It had four bathrooms for 60,000. It was a dump the day it opened. Parking lots were dirt. Kraft bought the stadium, and when the owner wanted to move the team to St Louis, he refused to let the team out of the lease. So they sold the team to Kraft.
Fun fact about Qualcomm stadium. The last time the Padres were in the World Series they got swept by the NY Yankees and the Yankees got to celebrate their WS win right there in Qualcomm stadium. I know those Padre fans were happy to get their team out of there, but funny enough they still haven’t made it back to the WS, and just this offseason lost their best player to the same team that beat them in the WS there in Qualcomm. The Yankees.
Being 73 now, I remember when there was just an Anchor fence between the field and the bleachers…yes it was a dump, but many great memories of the old ‘stick….
When Horace Stoneham was scouting locations for the stadium, he went to Candlestick Point around 10:00 A.M. one day, a time when there is almost no wind. He thought it was a beautiful spot for a ballpark, but had no idea that the wind became ferocious in the afternoon and evening. Weathermen said that the wind wouldn't have been nearly as bad, if they had built it only one mile up the road. But, if they had, thousands of people would have been killed in the 1989 earthquake, because the spot had less bedrock.
Sanders was the GREATEST R.B.--EVER! He would have shattered EVERY record had he played longer, but because the 'Lions' refused to trade him, he opted for retirement.
Just remember this, folks. ☝️ There is only ONE NFL football 🏈 team in the State of New York. The Buffalo Bills 🦬 (Village of Orchard Park, Erie County, New York). 😃👍 Also. The Washington Commanders play at Northwest Credit Union Stadium, located in Landover, Maryland. 👍
It is, by far, the worst multipurpose stadium ever built. The baseball-to-football conversion was so sloppy and inefficient, they actually had two different arrangements for football! The Raiders had to wait for baseball season to end before they went to the "permanent" football setup. And the Raiders had to be boiling over with frustration watching the A's win three World Series, while they didn't win a Super Bowl until Ben Drieth fixed that playoff game against the Patriots in 1976.
The Pontiac Silverdome was never really the nicest stadium, but one I'll say for it, it could get LOUD when it was filled up! I saw a Lions game there in 1991, and when they did the introductions of the starting lineup, the last player introduced was Barry Sanders, and I couldn't hear the PA over the crowd noise! That was a cool moment there, like even before they got to him, cus the fans knew he was last, the cheers were deafening!
I believe San Diego State built Snapdragon Stadium where Qualcomm Stadium once stood. The capacity is small and they would need to greatly expand and update it if an NFL team were to ever call it home.
I remember when the Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Indians both shared Cleveland Municipal Stadium and at the end of the baseball season beginning of the football season the baseball infield was clearly visible
Why did you have the Pontiac Silverdome on here? It was a great stadium WHEN IT WAS OPEN but it was in Pontiac and not Detroit, that was the only thing wrong with it. The owners always wanted too much money for events so it was never a viable option. You should have included Tiger Stadium instead. Yes it was in Detroit but it was a REALLY rough area of Detroit plus it was SOOOO old it was falling apart, most of the bathrooms did not work and the plumbing in the stadium leaked.
The Metrodome helped the Twins win the World Series because of opposing National League fielders, not used to the white ceiling, kept losing fly balls.
The stadium you are talking about is a completely different stadium. It is near the sight of the old War Memorial stadium. War Memorial stadium is completely gone
When elected officials and many sports fans see taxpayer money as their own personal ATM, it's easy to feel entitled and want every team in a city to have their own stadiums. It's absolutely ridiculous and such a waste.
My very first time going to the Oakland Coliseum back in 2003 and walked around it, I knew it was a dump then & said eventually the Raiders & A's needed their own stadiums or they gonna leave town & now they have with the A's pending move after this year
I think the locals refer to Canisius College as "Can-ee-shus". I don't think Silverdome or Metrodome should be on here. Pretty cool stadiums in the 80s and 90s especially compared to some of the others of that time period (Vet, 3 Rivers, Browns, Busch etc). Yes they became dated but at their peak they were good I think and lastly the Murph was awesome. They hosted Superbowls there.
You are clearly too young to know anything. There are worse stadiums today than some of these classic stadiums that were the best of their era. Ie Jack Murphy (Qualcomm), Candlestick Park. The infield dirt being on the fields was normal for the multi purpose fields of the time. Learn some history. Just because a stadium was old doesn’t make it bad. But I would not understand a young kid to know or appreciate anything 🙄
Yes. In the early days of the NFL, it was common for a football team to take the name of the baseball team. There was a "Brooklyn Dodgers" football team that played at Ebbets Field, and a "Pittsburgh Pirates" football team at Forbes Field. The Boston Redskins got their name from the Red Sox, but didn't go all the way. The Bears played at Wrigley Field and wanted to identify with the Cubs.
@@mikeadiddle Of course, they don't do that anymore. However, the Pittsburgh Penguins (originally blue and white) did change their colors to black and gold, to identify with the Pirates and Steelers. If Pittsburgh ever has a basketball team, no doubt it will do the same thing.
You started with a Minnesota stadium and could have finished with one as well: Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN was awful and way worse than several on your list. Both football teams had to stand on the same side of the field!
The Rose Bowl is outdated. I know it's historic and all but it still outdated. On the rare occasions when it rains, there is simply no where to go, also too much space between the stands and the field
The first time anyone tried that was the famous Houston-UCLA game in 1968. A (then) record crowd of 52,963 went to see the game, but I wonder how! The tiny basketball court was in the middle of this humongous floor. Even the closest seats needed binoculars.
New York Should not have a NFL team let alone 2 because they don’t put anything into those franchises. MetLife stadium is bland and should be in the city. Most New Yorkers can care less about sports
Weak video. Just a selection of teams previous homes that were abandoned less than 30 years ago. Do you really think Oakland Coliseum is worse than Youell Field, or Qualcomm was worse than Balboa Stadium? Sure, multi use fields were bad, but you don't know your history well enough to call this worst of all time.😊
I will say this… there is no reason for a stadium to be “outdated” in 20 years.
Then you don’t know what you’re talking about.
It becomes like that if it’s not kept up and not renovated to suit modern standards
unfortunately literally every stadium in sports is considered outdated in 20 years now. And the billionaire owners don't have to build them, they just pressure the cities to build them for them.
To be a little fair it’s been more like 30 now. It’s been 27.
It’s kinda like cars your car doesn’t have wood tires but it doesn’t have heated seats is kinda a way you can see it
I can’t believe that stadiums just go to waste
Welcome to the NFL. Stealing tax payer dollars for no material gain to the citizens

My very first time going to the Oakland Coliseum back in 2003 and walked around it, I knew it was a dump then & said eventually the Raiders & A's needed their own stadiums or they gonna leave town & now they have with the A's pending move after this year
What about the Orange Bowl? Outdated uncomfortable seating, horrible restrooms, no suites, and deadly food! 😮
Damn, no mention of veterans stadium in Philadelphia?
I think the locals refer to Canisius College as "Can-ee-shus". I don't think Silverdome or Metrodome should be on here. Pretty cool stadiums in the 80s and 90s especially compared to some of the others of that time period (Vet, 3 Rivers, Browns, Busch etc). Yes they became dated but at their peak they were good I think and lastly the Murph was awesome. They hosted Superbowls there.
Can't believe you didn't have the Kingdome up there
You are clearly too young to know anything. There are worse stadiums today than some of these classic stadiums that were the best of their era. Ie Jack Murphy (Qualcomm), Candlestick Park. The infield dirt being on the fields was normal for the multi purpose fields of the time. Learn some history. Just because a stadium was old doesn’t make it bad. But I would not understand a young kid to know or appreciate anything 🙄
How could you mention Candlestick Park and not talk about the wind?!
The dream. Season tickets, front row on the 50 yard line... At Cleveland Municipal Stadium 🫤🫤🫤
actually liked the vikings/twins dome
"Cleveland Indians football team"??
Right?? What racist football team name.
@@JacobFerch lemme guess, you think the redskins and the chiefs are racist too?
Yes. In the early days of the NFL, it was common for a football team to take the name of the baseball team. There was a "Brooklyn Dodgers" football team that played at Ebbets Field, and a "Pittsburgh Pirates" football team at Forbes Field. The Boston Redskins got their name from the Red Sox, but didn't go all the way. The Bears played at Wrigley Field and wanted to identify with the Cubs.
@@davidlafleche1142 That's weird, and I never knew that. I'll get that one right at the next trivia night for sure. :-)
@@mikeadiddle Of course, they don't do that anymore. However, the Pittsburgh Penguins (originally blue and white) did change their colors to black and gold, to identify with the Pirates and Steelers. If Pittsburgh ever has a basketball team, no doubt it will do the same thing.
What about City Stadium or the Polo Grounds?
Polo Grounds lasted decades and was considered a Baseball Cathedral
The Oakland coliseum is kinda of 🔥 ngl
Another stadium that should be on this list the Houston Astrodome
You started with a Minnesota stadium and could have finished with one as well: Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, MN was awful and way worse than several on your list. Both football teams had to stand on the same side of the field!
It was ALSO AN OLD ASS STADIUM, that NOW sits on the site of the 'Mall Of America.'
The field at Veterans Stadium ended more careers than Lawrence Taylor
No Veteran’s stadium in Philadelphia?
Why 😮 did the Braves build a outside stadium ? Geeezzz
The Rose Bowl is outdated. I know it's historic and all but it still outdated. On the rare occasions when it rains, there is simply no where to go, also too much space between the stands and the field
basketball in a football dome is insane
the Pistons played some games in the Silverdome before they moved to Auburn Hills
The first time anyone tried that was the famous Houston-UCLA game in 1968. A (then) record crowd of 52,963 went to see the game, but I wonder how! The tiny basketball court was in the middle of this humongous floor. Even the closest seats needed binoculars.
New York Should not have a NFL team let alone 2 because they don’t put anything into those franchises. MetLife stadium is bland and should be in the city. Most New Yorkers can care less about sports
What's ironic, is that the stadium isn't even IN New York. It's in JERSEY.
@@RansomRambula-no6yo Its just across the river it isnt a big deal
“sort of weird”
Back when you paid a few bucks and watched the game on the field for two hours. Then you went home with having spent your kids college fund.
Candlestick was awesome
Weak video. Just a selection of teams previous homes that were abandoned less than 30 years ago. Do you really think Oakland Coliseum is worse than Youell Field, or Qualcomm was worse than Balboa Stadium?
Sure, multi use fields were bad, but you don't know your history well enough to call this worst of all time.😊
It is funny. These stadiums are considered bad yet just North in Canada we have much worse currently than these so-called eye sores.
Including the TEAMS!
What do you mean by outdated
They were falling apart. And had bad views. Or playing surface.
GILLETTE STADIUM IS STILL A NIGHTMARE TO GET OUT OF!!!!!
