    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.

      I never saw a game at Shea in person, but I feel like it was maybe the best of the 10 stadiums on this list. It probably would have made a perfectly fine baseball stadium if they hadn't shared the space with the Jets.

      Shea had great access by subway from Manhattan. It was easy to get there. I went to Mets, Jets, and even Yankee games (1975) there. Bitter cold and very windy in the winter, and a lot of noise from the nearby international airport. But a lot of good memories in that place.

    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.

      I was there that day, kind of. My friends and I were in the next to last row in the upper deck on the opposite side from the entrance tunnel to the field. Practically another zip code! 😁 We could barely see the actual wrestlers, and the big projection screens above the ring were not watchable early on because of daylight coming through the translucent roof.
      Some say that the announced attendance of 93,000 was bogus and the real number was lower in the 60-70k range. I say that's BS. For football the Silverdome held over 80k and the permanent seating looked packed to me, and the floor seating looked just as crowded.

    • @66limelight
      @66limelight หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@neilwhitaker6284 It was a great atmosphere indeed. The Twins owner, Carl Pohlad, started hollering for a new Twins stadium in the early 90s when it was only 10 years old. In 1998 when Jesse The Body Ventura was elected governor, he was asked if he supported state funds go to a new stadium he replied (paraphrasing) "Well we don't replace schools when they're only 16 years old and we don't need to replace stadiums when they're only 16 years old." That's what I like about non politicians when they get elected.
      What I disliked about the Metrodome was it's location: downtown Minneapolis. They already had the land where the old Met Stadium was and it was easy to get to, right off of I 494 and that's where it should have been built. But politics always gets in the way of common sense and it was built downtown where parking is a pain in the arse.
      Back in the 90s I remember reading an article in the paper about the Metrodome and they had about 300 events in one year so it was used a LOT. Twins, Vikings, Gophers, Final Four one year, moto cross, monster truck shows, Concerts and many more events. They even used to have roller blading where people would skate through the corridor surrounding the stadium. The Super Bowl was there in about 1998?? and I don't recall anyone in the media speaking badly of it.
      It was built on the cheap and of course there were many stadiums much nicer but to tear down a stadium that's just 32 years old just seems so wasteful.

To me Wrigley was a joke with it's short HR wall because it was stuck in a neighborhood. Then sports execs and the media decided they needed more a throwback look, so yep, tear them all down.

    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.

    Grew up in the Bay Area as a 49ers and SF Giants fan, so Candlestick Park was a big part of my childhood. It's unusual shape inherited from its original design as a baseball stadium resulted in obstructed views for lower level seating and an overall awkward layout for football games. Also, the stadium's location on a windy coastal area often made playing conditions difficult. It would get really cold there during games.

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.

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.
