Ross Ade Stadium was also opened in 1924, still used by Purdue, the founding school of the BIG Ten. It’s been renovated over the past 100 years with capacity going up, down, and recently back up a bit again.

I've only been to one of these, Wrigley Field. It was 1988 and the stadium lights were only 2 weeks old at the time. It's just an excellent place to see a ball game, and my personal favorite. Great atmosphere there. Two years later I went to a game at the old Tiger's Stadium which only has the flagpole remaining today at a community ball park that stands on the site. Tiger's Stadium was another classic that should still be around.
Wow, sounds like you've experienced some amazing baseball moments! Wrigley Field really does have a unique atmosphere that fans cherish, and Tiger's Stadium-what an iconic place!

Absolutely! Franklin Field's longevity and historical significance make it a must-visit for sports history fans. Hope you enjoy checking it out It's truly a piece of living history!
Thanks for your perspective! It’s a fair point that some historic stadiums have undergone significant changes over the years, and deciding how much of the original structure should remain to qualify as 'historic' can be subjective. However, part of what makes these venues special is their legacy and continued use, even if they've evolved to meet modern needs. We aimed to honor their stories and enduring connection to sports history. That said, we'd love to hear your thoughts-are there specific stadiums you'd exclude or ones you think should be celebrated differently? Your input helps us refine our approach for future content!
@gamearenas the Yale bowl and rose bowl are the only two stadiums that look anything like they did when they were opened. Oh add the Los Angeles Colosseum to the list
That wouldn't work. In the US stadiums are either updated as sports grow or they're torn down. The Yale Bowl is an outlier. But the cores of these stadiums like Neyland and Ohio Stadium is still the original buildings... just added onto a lot.
Thanks for bringing up Wahconah Park! You're right that it's been around since 1896 and has a rich history. It’s always great to learn more about iconic ballparks! Appreciate the reminder!

You're absolutely right! Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska, opened in 1923, making it older than Illinois' Memorial Stadium, which was dedicated in 1924. Thanks for pointing that out-it's fascinating how these historic venues came to symbolize their respective schools!
Great point! Speedway is indeed an enclave entirely surrounded by Indianapolis. Thanks for catching that detail and adding some precision to the conversation!

You’re absolutely right! Spartan Stadium at Michigan State University indeed opened in 1923. It’s an iconic venue with a long history of hosting memorable games. Thank you for bringing it up; venues like Spartan Stadium definitely deserve recognition for their storied past. I appreciate you sharing this!
I went to a doubleheader at Wrigley, but unfortunately it was so early in the season that the famous ivy hadn't sprouted its leaves yet. The Red Sox are my local team, and I've been to Fenway Park many times. BTW: Cambridge is its own city and not a part of Boston.
That must have been an unforgettable experience at Wrigley! Even without the ivy in full bloom, the charm of the ballpark is undeniable. And being a Fenway regular? That’s every baseball fan’s dream! 😊 As for Cambridge, you're absolutely right-thank you for pointing that out!
@@gamearenas Can't say that I'm a regular at Fenway, just been there often (going all the way back to seeing Ted Williams play in the first game my father took me to as a kid.)
Missed the Milwaukee Mile at Wisconsin State Fair Park opened in 1903. Belmont Park opened in 1905. Pimlico Race Course opened in 1870. That’s just 3. Probably more.
Thank you for sharing these iconic venues! You're absolutely right!!! Each has a significant place in the history of American sports. The Milwaukee Mile, Belmont Park, and Pimlico Race Course are fantastic examples of historic locations that deserve recognition for their rich legacies. This feedback reminds us of the vast and diverse history of sports facilities across the country.

What about Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati? Started as a basic field in 1901 and a Concrete Structure since 1915 making it the fourth-oldest playing site and fifth-oldest stadium in college football, respectively.
Great point about Nippert Stadium! Its transformation from Carson Field in 1901 to a concrete structure in 1915 definitely cements its place as one of the oldest college football stadiums. Thanks for highlighting its rich history: It deserves recognition!

Horse. For some reason, can’t do a horse emoji. Went to Churchill Downs in 1976, bet on 10 races, won 8, including the Derby and Bold Forbes. Great time! Mint Julep was good if memory serves me well.

Great observation-Saratoga Race Course is indeed older, having opened in 1863! It's a historic gem in the world of horse racing and certainly deserves recognition. While our list focused on stadiums used for various sports, you’re absolutely right that Saratoga is a notable omission if we consider racecourses. Thank you for pointing this out-it’s fantastic to see viewers so knowledgeable about historic venues!
Great catch! You’re absolutely right. Kyle Field and Harvard Stadium are both older and still hosting college football games today. Bobby Dodd Stadium is certainly historic, but when it comes to age, Kyle Field (1905) and Harvard Stadium (1903) are actually the elder statesmen. Thanks for pointing that out, and we appreciate your keen attention to the details!
Thanks for bringing up Memorial Stadium at Kansas University! Built in 1921, it’s indeed a historic venue with a rich legacy in college football. While it wasn’t included in my script, it’s certainly worth recognizing as one of the oldest and most storied stadiums. Appreciate your input!

California Memorial Stadium is a fantastic addition to the conversation! Opened in 1923, it's a historic landmark with a rich legacy. Thanks for highlighting this iconic venue!
@gamearenas My Grandfather had season tickets for years in section JJ row 55, above us and two sections to the right was KK, at the top of the Stadium was a big iron plate secured to section KK & L with long bolts drilled into the concrete facade, the stadium was built with the east side built on the side of a hill, while the West side was built up by a superstructure facade that held up about the last 46 rows (as the first 30 rows were underground. Those two sections kk & L were separated by almost 2 feet at the top of the Stadium by the Hayward earthquake fault. In 2010 the interior of the Stadium was gutted and rebuilt to today's earthquake standards. What a difference $321M did! They kept the facade of the old stadium, but it's all new everywhere else. We even have metal benches now!
Thank you for sharing such an insightful piece of history about California Memorial Stadium! It’s fascinating to hear about the impact of the Hayward fault and the 2010 renovations on the stadium's legacy. Your story brings a unique personal touch to its rich history!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the Cotton Bowl! It’s undeniably a historic venue with an incredible legacy, from hosting the Texas-OU rivalry to the Dallas Cowboys’ early years. However, this list focused specifically on America’s oldest stadiums still standing, with the most recent entry dating back to 1924. The Cotton Bowl, which opened in 1930, just missed the cut for this ranking. That said, we absolutely appreciate its iconic status and will keep it in mind for future videos dedicated to legendary venues. Your passion is appreciated!
Totally cool! 😊 Thanks for watching and sharing in the excitement. If you have a favorite stadium or story, we'd love to hear about it-keep the passion alive!
So with Harvard Stadium you said they were featured in the 1906 Olympics. The only 1906 Olympics were the Interclad Olympics in Athens Greece, it was something they tried to do every two years, but realized they couldn’t keep it up. After 1906 they went to a 4 year only model. Now they did have Olympic trials at Harvard Stadium for track and field in 1910 did you mean that? Also in 1984 they played first round Olympic soccer matches at Harvard Stadium. Did you guys mean that also? I agree with a lot of people the AI voices just horrible.
Thank you for pointing this out and providing additional context about the 1906 Intercalated Games and Harvard Stadium's role in sports history. You are correct that the 1906 Games were an exception and not part of the regular Olympic cycle. As for Harvard Stadium, its involvement in the 1910 Olympic trials and the 1984 Olympic soccer matches is an important detail that deserves recognition. I (with the 🤖) appreciate your insight, and I'll make sure to clarify and provide accurate information moving forward.

Cotton Bowl 1937. Was home to Cowboys and the old annual Texas OU game.
A really passionate poor job.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the Cotton Bowl!
It’s undeniably a historic venue with an incredible legacy, from hosting the Texas-OU rivalry to the Dallas Cowboys’ early years. However, this list focused specifically on America’s oldest stadiums still standing, with the most recent entry dating back to 1924. The Cotton Bowl, which opened in 1930, just missed the cut for this ranking.
That said, we absolutely appreciate its iconic status and will keep it in mind for future videos dedicated to legendary venues. Your passion is appreciated!

So with Harvard Stadium you said they were featured in the 1906 Olympics. The only 1906 Olympics were the Interclad Olympics in Athens Greece, it was something they tried to do every two years, but realized they couldn’t keep it up. After 1906 they went to a 4 year only model. Now they did have Olympic trials at Harvard Stadium for track and field in 1910 did you mean that? Also in 1984 they played first round Olympic soccer matches at Harvard Stadium. Did you guys mean that also? I agree with a lot of people the AI voices just horrible.
Thank you for pointing this out and providing additional context about the 1906 Intercalated Games and Harvard Stadium's role in sports history.
You are correct that the 1906 Games were an exception and not part of the regular Olympic cycle. As for Harvard Stadium, its involvement in the 1910 Olympic trials and the 1984 Olympic soccer matches is an important detail that deserves recognition.
