0:28 NRG stadium opened in 2002. I mean, for 2002 it was a state of the art stadium back then. It made stadiums like Jacksonville, Carolina and Washington look obsolete and those stadiums were built just a mier 7 years prior. NRG was also the first NFL retractable roof stadium. NRG stadium is going on 22 years old, so of course it looks a bit dated compared to modern stadiums that were built in recent years.
As a saints fan I always thought it looked pretty cool. But I thought it looked better as part of the skyline BEFORE they did those square renovations. it's also really sad to see what has happened to the AstroDome. But please don't tear it down, even if it costs a bunch of tax money to keep the building safe, it's tax money well spent. The AstroDome is an ICON
@@voiceofreason2674 they should gut the Astrodome out and turn it into a big convention center and put in stores, restaurants, bars and hotels all along where the seating used to be.
@@RhinoXpressthat’s probably not going to happen. The least costly (and most likely) option is to strip it down to the steel structure and make it a park underneath. Well, the least costly is to let it continue to sit there like it is.
It still looks like a beautiful stadium. I'm a Titans fan but always seemed to like this Stadium. Hosted numerous events. Final fours. Concerts. Super bowls. What else can you ask for?
A couple things: First, NRG Stadium opened in 2002 as Reliant Stadium. Second, the roof is almost always closed because it's hot and humid in Houston for at least half the year. Third, while not necessarily the best stadium in the NFL now, it was state of the art when it opened. A lot of sportscasters were commenting on how beautiful it was when it opened.
NRG Stadium is actually pretty legit, I go to it at least 5-10 times a year for rodeo, football, soccer, and concerts and never had an issue with it. It doesn't feel like I'm walking into a relic. The concourses are easy to walk around, nothing seems dated. Very easy to get to any seat. Great viewing angles from even the nosebleeds with no obstructed seating. They update the stadium's wifi and cellular connections pretty often so its always easy to tweet or whatever during any event. They might do one or two minor things before the world cup but yeah, NRG ain't going anywhere for a long time.. that stadium stays busy year round
the old Rangers stadium is known now as Choctaw Stadium, and I've been to an XFL game there. It was a fun experience and it was cool to see football in the off-season (not college or NFL season). It isn't "rotting away", they will use it for concerts in the future, in the summer you have to wait until it gets dark outside.
The only thing the Alamodome needs is a way to let in more natural light. Everything else about it is great. Far better experience there than at a lot of the old college football stadiums out there.
The City of San Antonio are adding more suits to the Alamodome for the 2025 Men's Final Four also the XFL Brahmas play there. But I heard that if the NCAA doesn't select the Alamodome for another Final Four, the city might do major renovations to the stadium.
I've never got the hate from ya on Globe Life Feild in Arlington. The place is absolutely gorgeous outside and especially inside. Walk up to the place and it's awesome looking and the area has EVERYTHING, restaurants, hotels, concert venues, social spaces the whole shebang everything you ask for in most of your videos is THERE. The metal ranch "BBQ grill" barn style roof design is what gives you the illusion it's ugly but GO IN PERSON ....IT IS NOT. Massively underatted.
AT&T Stadium has had its roof open during day games before -- usually the second game of the day. It's also been opened at night sometimes. It's not often when it's opened, though.
The Cowboys’ retractable roof is there cause the fans wanted the hole in the roof from the previous Texas Stadium so God could still look down on His team.
What was formerly Globe Life Park (Choctaw Stadium) not only hosts the XFL’s Renegades, but also many high school regular season and playoff games there as well. They did a great job not making that stadium go to waste after Globe Life Field opened.
With a bit of luck, the Ballpark in Arlington will outlive Globe Life Field and the Rangers can move back in with a roof over it thanks to another 30 years of advances in engineering. It was right up there with Camden Yards as the best of the neo-jewel box park designs.
If the air temp outside the stadium is 105, the on-field temp is probably 115-120, since the shape of the seating bowl will focus and amplify the sunlight/heat onto the field.
NRG or Reliant opened in 02. Watched it rise from less than a mile away. Best event I attended there was Summer Sanitorium Tour 2003. Metallica, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Def Tones, and Mudvane. Best concert I ever been to. Fun fact, dude behind me got busted by HPD for smoking pot right after I had passed them the big fatty being shared among us dudes.
@@cavalierfan2008 Reliant makes the old astrodome look like a hockey arena though. They should turn it into an amusement park since Astroworld isn't there anymore.
I wonder when AT&T Stadium is going to install their grass field for the 2026 World Cup. Because the current pitch isn't wide enough, they have to raise the field 18 feet. To do this they will have to bury all of the ground-level suites and the first two rows. I wonder if they will do this in 2025 before the 2025/2026 NFL season or if it will be done in this $300 million renovation
AT&T Stadium is going to begin the renovations to hold 2026 World Cup matches pretty soon, perhaps along with the "behind the scenes upgrades". As you've likely guessed, the pitch (presumably natural grass) will be raised, presumably with stairs to access it. Some of the first few rows of seats used for Cowboys games will be taken out of commission to accommodate the soccer pitch, but I don't know if the seats will be physically removed or if they'll just be covered up by the pitch and maybe something else. The stadium has held soccer matches before with few to no modifications, but as you know, the World Cup is a bit different.
@@levy2k6I'm almost positive it's for both. I live in the DFW area and saw a news story earlier this year about modifications being needed at AT&T Stadium to host the World Cup. Maybe SoFi in LA also needs renovations, but I don't know for sure.
@@bobbowie9350 You may be right. I've heard rumours for months that AT&T Stadium will host the WC Final, although as we know, nothing's been announced yet.
the Alamo Dome is not obsolete. I went to last year's Alamo Bowl, and the Texas vs Wash. game was great. There is not a bad seat in the place. The fans around me said this was a great place for a concert, and I know WWE loves to have events here. The Alamo Dome will be around for a long time. Globe Life stadium is really cool, and I enjoyed rooting for the Rangers there.
Toyota Center isn't old it has all the revenue generating suites, etc and the Rockets struggled to finance it without having a hockey team there when it was built, because a building on the outside is ugly doesn't require it to be replaced
4:55 if Globe Life Field fails, the Texas Rangers should Move to Downtown Dallas, Texas with a new Ballpark with the designs of Choctaw Stadium with Dome and better known as Dallas Rangers
Weird the Alomodome was suppose to be for football but its main tenants were basketball San Antonio Antonio Spurs for 10 seasons. It's amazing how they lasted that long in that building that should have only been temporary home. Like the Raptors played temporary at sky dome AKA Rogers centre pistons Pontiac Silver dome and Supersonics Kingdome.
You forgot the Alamodomw played host to a CFL team, the Texans, The original design made a consideration for a CFL team to play inside the Alamodome. San Antonio should revisit bringing in a CFL team since the NFL is never going there and the XFL won't beyond next year.
The Metroplex also has the FC Dallas stadium and The Star (Cowboys' practice field), so whatever size stadium you need, there's al least one that will suit your purpose.
The thing with modern stadiums is that they’re bland, boring, and have absolutely zero charm. Once their newness wears off, they’re just another building. Nothing built these days, save maybe Camden Yards and PNC, and maybe GABP, Petco, and Pac Bell, will be worth saving. Everything else will see a wrecking ball sooner than later. Just as spending obscene amounts of money on players doesn’t guarantee wins, spending ridiculous amounts of money on stadiums doesn’t guarantee a genuine charm that make them worth a damn. Money doesn’t buy that. Keep ballparks simple. We go there to watch a game, not to live there. Get rid of all these stupid bells and whistles that distract from the games.
I am a Honest Cowboys Fan and I just think AT&T is just MASSIVELY BEAUTIFUL. Last Year, a few friends and I were looking for the nearest Wal-Mart out in Arlington, and there was a Wal-Mar right next to AT&T. When you get out of the car, and look up, it literally TOWERS over you with how HUGE and WIDE it is. And right down the road is GlobeLife and Choctaw. I've also seen ACC, and how beautiful that Arena is as well with all of the New Builds they've built in Uptown Dallas. Alot of them are new which is wild, cuz back in the Early 00s, it was all Parking. I'm not a huge Mavs or Rangers fan, but I'm a SUPER Architecture nerd born and raised in this great big ass state and I love how you analized these Massive Builds in the Metroplex.
There's an obvious reason why they won't open the roof. I remember watching TV games from the old stadium with the hole in the roof. The insane contrast between sunlight and shadow was too extreme and very hard to watch on TV. It must have been irritating to actually see it in person.
Hey brother can u do a video on the Phila Flyers new stadium renovation and plans for further renovations at the Wells Fargo center. A vide about all the Philly stadiums and proposed upgrades and new sixers stadium would be awesome!
No sunbowl? My son and I have made it a point to watch a game in every stadium in Texas before he graduated and went to college, sunbowl and alamodome were two of our favorites Sunbowl especially was really cool built into the mountain
That’s not a terrible idea, but I bet the shipping costs would be too high to make it feasible. Would require a large vessel to get it overseas, let alone somehow transporting it across land.
We need a video on which city should host the 2026 World Cup Championship Game. Should it be in Los Angeles, Dallas/Ft. Worth or New York City. Even though it appears to be a close decision. It looks like Dallas/Ft. Worth is the leading contender to host the title game.
I laugh… who cares how the outside looks? They don’t play the games outside the arena..The fans are also inside to watch the game… the concessions and amenities are inside…. Who cares if it looks like a warehouse outside.. it’s the inside that matters most.. and that shiney outside for the Rangers new park… that will reflect the sun… to make it cooler inside… so who cares if it’s ugly if it’s effective?
I love Texas, but you're not wrong. And it's cuz construction quality in Texas is astoundingly bad. Lots of awesome stuff in Texas, restaurants, high schools, jobs. But they build stuff from like a slave labor mindset. The homebuilder industry in Texas is messed up and it goes all the way up to commerical. The AstroDome is totally cool tho
Nrg stadium is just right for houston I can't even afford to go inside but I am still grateful I mean come on when I see it and the astrodome I feel like I'm on another planet or dreaming
Pipe dream but I do love the AlamoDome, in a perfect world the Texans would put on their oilers jerseys for Halloween and play there once a year on some turn back the clocks type event
Says the Houston stadium is "obsolete" and gives NO reasons for it. Sounds like some idiotic fashion consultant constantly calling things "dated" for entirely arbitrary reasons.
The American Airlines Center is the one with white roof and the squared brick exterior that you say its nice so can you plz call it by its actually name American Airlines Center
I've watched several of your videos and I've come to the conclusion that your talking points are very subjective. It would be educational to hear you discuss the financing of these facilities. Why do some college facilities last for 70-80 years with the minimal number of upgrades as compared to professional arenas that last for 30-40 years. Address the lack of profit sharing of ticket revenue for the luxury box seats at the new professional stadiums. You are only scratching at the surface of the problem that the billionaire owners and millionaire players bring to major league cities, regardless of the sports entertainment.
College stadiums last forever because they already have a built in fanbase from the student body and 18-22 year olds do not care about the stadium being old and outdated as much as older adults do. They care more about the atmosphere of the stadium and the experience. Some NFL cities dont care as much and even take pride in not caring about having all the best amenities such as Greenbay and Buffalo, but those are outliers. When professional teams move into a city they start out with a much smaller fanbase than colleges and have to build up a fanbase and if the stadium is a not up to current NFL standards it will massively hinder the growth of the fanbase. Even established teams will have fans driven away if the stadium is a complete dumpster fire just like Fedex field.
I love how you just decidedly the Alamodome is a forgotten stadium it hosts UTSA game who has a up-and-coming D1 college team also host basketball games and concerts lol sometimes you just be coming on here saying shit 😂
Reliant... I mean, NRG opened in 2002 NOT 2006. Any point you make is invalid now. Please do proper research. This guy just hates Houston. He is more than likely an Arlington fan BOOOOOIIIIIII A&M stadium is overrated. Hook'em!

San Antonio will get a new stadium, eventually... and probably by then, the NFL will either be ready to expand or someone is moving.

When your first pitch has a air temp of 105, yeah indoor building was necessary.

And you never mentioned the amount of High School Stadiums around Texas that was shame most FCS, D2 & D3 college stadiums around the country.
The Alamodome is crying out for a retractable roof. It looks like it was made for one anyway, they just need to make the mechanism!
its too old and too hot for all that. I think a translucent roof like Oakland or LA would be better.
UH alumni here. TDECU HAS the most depressing lame cfb atmosphere I've ever been to
Stadiums in Texas are generally bland and unimaginative. They’re essentially tin boxes with no soul.

Use the stadiums until it's no longer viable! Make it last until 2050s! No more taxpayer money for this thing especially when they are still usable.

College stadiums last forever because they already have a built in fanbase from the student body and 18-22 year olds do not care about the stadium being old and outdated as much as older adults do. They care more about the atmosphere of the stadium and the experience. Some NFL cities dont care as much and even take pride in not caring about having all the best amenities such as Greenbay and Buffalo, but those are outliers. When professional teams move into a city they start out with a much smaller fanbase than colleges and have to build up a fanbase and if the stadium is a not up to current NFL standards it will massively hinder the growth of the fanbase. Even established teams will have fans driven away if the stadium is a complete dumpster fire just like Fedex field.
I attended the first regular season game of the Texans against the Cowboys in the early 2000’s at NRG. I thought the facility was very underwhelming.
6:23 & 6:42, “super unique”, sooooooo… those features are more unique that other unique features??? 👎🏽

Reliant... I mean, NRG opened in 2002 NOT 2006. Any point you make is invalid now. Please do proper research.
