@@crveech don't forget the city zoo in a former quarry than there is the quarry golf course and nearby quarry shopping center. yea San Antonio has a lot of old limestone quarries that have been repurposed.
My high school stadium was featured (Rutledge Stadium at Judson HS). They’ve spiffed it up a bit with a turf field, new scoreboard and a new press box. Still looks good! Thanks!
Alamo Dome was built to attract an NFL team way back, but Jerry Jones the owner of the Cowboys is very influential and will never allow an NFL team to call San Antonio home because San Antonio is a huge Cowboys fan hub, might be their biggest outside of the greater Dallas area. Great video as always!
Went on vacation once to San Antonio and they said on the tour we took that it's the second oldest city in the US... After my State's San Augustine Florida. They have incredible caves outside of the city that you can go in and see things that have been there forever!
The Alamo Dome was also built to include a CFL team. In which the San Antonio Texans of the CFL played one season there led by QB David Archer. The video host failed to acknowledge this long forgotten fact
so proud of a SA video I was just at Toyota Field last night! and happy to say ive played in 7 of these! (Alamo stadium. Alamo dome, Hero's, Farris, Comalander, and Jimmy Littleton (tho we just call the whole area Blossom) and D.W Rulthedge)
honestly if we ever got a NFL or MLB team the best place for the stadium wouldn't be in San Antonio but rather northern New Braunfels or southern San Marcos. as this would allow the team to market itself to both San Antonio and Austin. As for MLS its not gona happen anytime soon as due to Austin FC
San Antonio definitely has some classic stadiums but we still need a world class NFL and FIFA stadium with real grass, and it has to be in the right place 💰
according to the 2020 US census Texas cities by pop = 1. Houston 2,314,157 2. San Antonio 1,495,295 3. Dallas 1,302,868 granted the census only counts the city proper not the greater metro aera
new NBA arena downtown and new baseball stadium downtown are well in the works in san antonio . so excited the frost bank arena and wolf stadium are rlly outdated. now we gotta do something about the outdated alamodome haha
@@music_by_carlosHere's to hoping that someday you will learn how to use good grammar, composition, spelling, and punctuation in the things that you write. Your spoken AND WRITTEN words define whom you are and what you represent. So far, your silly little misspelled words that attempt to crudely invent abbreviations of words that do not exist are representing you very poorly and as a destitute without a language to speak and write correctly. Please consider writing WELL instead of that broken version of ebonics.
SPURS planning a new $1.2B arena at hemisfair. Missions planning a new Minor League Baseball stadium downtown as well. Our city hopefully will have top notch facilities here by 2030. Can't wait!!
Alamo Stadium is owned by the San Antonio ISD, whose logo is the Alamo with an apple, not South San ISD. There's also an adjacent arena called Alamo Convocation Center. "The Old Rockpile," as Alamo Stadium is nicknamed, boasts a mural at its main gate depicting the history of sport in San Antonio along with a sign with the slogan, "Dedicated to the use of a free and happy people." When you get to Austin, please include House Park, even though its capacity is under 10,000. Austin ISD's logo is an apple with the Texas Capitol dome. The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo still holds some events in Freeman Coliseum, while Frost Bank Center hosts the main rodeo performances and other activities are in the adjacent barns and lots.
Ideas for future videos: The Stadiums of Tampa, Florida The Stadiums of Miami, Florida The Stadiums of Jacksonville, Florida The Stadiums of Detroit, Michigan The Stadiums of Phoenix, Arizona The Stadiums of San Francisco Bay Area, California The Stadiums of Las Vegas, Nevada
cool story but commander stadiums press box is named after my grandfather Gary DeLaune who was a local news reporter known for his sport coats and larger than life personality. he was also the radio voice of the spurs and of the Astros a few years prior.
As someone who went to high school in SA and marched in my high school's marching band, Ferris and Heroes consistently ranked at the top, while Comalander and Gustafson (we just called it "Gus") ranked at the bottom. Not even Wide World of Stadiums likes Gus!
That base is the former Kelly AFB, now split between Lackland AFB and Port San Antonio. Near what had been Kelly's main gate is Edgewood Memorial Stadium, home of the Kennedy Rockets and Memorial Minutemen. Randolph AFB has a small stadium on its premises belonging to Randolph High School, home of the Ro-Hawks, not far from D.W. Rutledge Stadium. Harlandale Memorial Stadium, home of the Harlandale Indians and McCollom Cowboys, adjoins Stinson Municipal Airport. And spectators at Commalander Stadium get a view of San Antonio International Airport.
Waste of fucking money no one even goes to these bull shit events only the spurs that’s all we got is a basketball team while Dallas has cowboys the stars mavericks and so forth yea San Antonio sucks big time
Just saying Texans aren't "proud" of the battle of the Alamo like it claims at the beginning. The battle of the Alamo was a massacre by Mexican forces at the Alamo. Texas lost the battle. The battle cry "remember the Alamo" was used by texan soldiers to remember the horors the Mexican army commited there and motivate Texans to fight harder and have no mercy. It was a turning point in the Texas revolution but its used more in the way that "never forget" is used for 9/11
I may be wrong but I think this video may have broken the world record for most use of the word "Quarry" in a video that's not about quarries.
San Antonio is also home to Six Flags Fiesta Texas, which was also built next to a former rock quarry.

Its a big fuckin quarry

6:10 I remember playing that game as a kid but I didn’t know it was popular enough to fill an arena of spectators.
Nice to see my home region represented

i never expected a video of my hometown stadiums
2:24 We could use a NFL, MLR and MLS teams at the San Antonio Alamodome

Loved the reference to Hank Scorpio in the Simpsons regarding the Hammock District! 🤣
My hometown!! Alamo Stadium used to be number 1, largest high school stadium in Texas, but renovations caused a decrease in capacity!
My hometown San Antonio!!! Come and take it!
Love your humour!
Thanks for doing my city 🤙
Please do Miami/South Florida next!
I was at the Alamodome today, still a good stadium!
Love your videos. Can you make one about the Norwegian Eliteserien stadiums?
I probably will.
San Antonio definitely has some classic stadiums but we still need a world class NFL and FIFA stadium with real grass, and it has to be in the right place 💰
Just to think that San Antonio the THIRD largest city in Texas compared to Houston, Dallas, and then San Antonio.
according to the 2020 US census Texas cities by pop = 1. Houston 2,314,157 2. San Antonio 1,495,295 3. Dallas 1,302,868 granted the census only counts the city proper not the greater metro aera
Im assuming you're referring to metro population

Nelson Wolff could use some more areas covered by the roof or shade structures.
The Alamo Dome has hosted baseball too, just not well.
210 baby!!!!!!!!!! MY HOMETOWN WOOT WOOT
BANGER!!!

Gotta bring this series to Detroit
Major League Rugby, Major League Soccer, and National Women Soccer League in Motor City Detroit, Michigan
I should get the Detroit video finished soon.

When are you doing Phoenix AZ?!
That actually sounds about right the one with wolf stadium. Why else would you build a stadium next to an air base.
That base is the former Kelly AFB, now split between Lackland AFB and Port San Antonio. Near what had been Kelly's main gate is Edgewood Memorial Stadium, home of the Kennedy Rockets and Memorial Minutemen. Randolph AFB has a small stadium on its premises belonging to Randolph High School, home of the Ro-Hawks, not far from D.W. Rutledge Stadium.

What happened to the upbeat background music you used before. I’ll maybe need to comment on another one to highlight it for you
I know which one you're talking about. I assumed people would be getting tired of it by now, but perhaps not. I'll start using it on more videos.
Washington DC and Boston both need one!
210 represent😤
7:26 Bro i ran at this stadium for track so that's nice
Stadiums of Greater Manchester pleaseee
y not show pics of the spurs playing at the alamo dome . iconic af and we won championships in that huge building hahaha
While you're in the Area, you might as well do Austin next. Much better stadiums than San Antonio. San Antonio does have better food, though.
Hold up, how do you know about Golden Corral??!?
Because of all the Michelin stars that it has been awarded.
You missed Benson Stadium, Div1 college football field.
Missions Park was nice but the rest leave a little to be desired. The forced conversions is a great policy!
yea but i was under the impression that they forced all non Catholics to convert to Catholicism
@@jessicacolegrove4152 not a Catholic myself but it might be an improvement from the current regime (shrugs).
Can we get some Michigan cities?
Detroit is in the works.
@@TheWideWorldofStadiums you're a great one! Thank you!
Alamo stadium belongs to San Antonio Independent School District. You have a South San ISD logo shown with it, smh.
Wish mu UIW cardinals made the list but sadly its to small
Waste of fucking money no one even goes to these bull shit events only the spurs that’s all we got is a basketball team while Dallas has cowboys the stars mavericks and so forth yea San Antonio sucks big time
