I shed a tear for the Silverdome. I marched there twice in 2011 and 2012 for the Bands of America regional championships. That place was amazing. I had no idea what hallowed ground i had stepped on until it was gone
Hey, you forgot the Cotton Bowl. It had the Cowboys play in it from 1960-1971, the AFL Dallas Texans 1960-1962. It is now only used for the red river showdown and the first responders bowl
It was also used for the Dallas Stars Winter Classic game in 2020, and was the home to the Dallas Burn/ FC Dallas for years until they moved to Frisco. Now a days it is also mostly used for concerts & events surrounding the State Fair of Texas. It definitely has a great vibe still.
Honestly, FPV could make a 3 hour video on the history of American stadiums and I'd watch it. Idk how, but he makes the history of stadiums sound so cool
Both the Niners and Raiders played home games at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. The stadium had a similar history as Balboa Stadium in San Diego. It was torn down and remodeled. It is used for high school games now. There are scenes from Dirty Harry filmed at Kezar.
Point of note on Shea Stadium - the only venue to host the home games of FOUR pro-league teams in the same year. In the last year the Jets played there the Yankees and Giants also had to play there due to renovations at Yankee Stadium and the Meadowlands not yet being ready.
Thank you for mentioning Baltimore's CFL team, eventually known as the Stallions, when talking about Memorial Stadium. They were the most successful part of the CFL's ill-fated expansion into the U.S., making the Grey Cup in both seasons of their existence and winning it in 1995. They likely would've lived on if Art Modell hadn't moved the Browns to the city.
Even some of the older Maddens, like late-PS1 era, had some retro stadiums; Cleveland Municipal, the Astrodome, Tampa Stadium, the Orange Bowl and even pre-Mount Davis Oakland Coliseum are in Madden 2000 at least, although all named "Old Stadium in ___".
2017, before my dad became ill, I was learning online about the history of the legendary Silverdome. I went there that day of the failed implosion to see the stadium for first time. Way before I was born, my dad used to watch Barry Sanders play. 2017, we went to Ford Field for first time for my high school championship game. Since then, I wanted to take my dad to a Lions game, but he had pulmonary fibrosis, survived 2 lung transplants last year, and fought his final battle with chronic rejection back in June.
In sorry for your loss brother. I took my dad to a ball game on my birthday because I don’t know how many I have left. You loved your dad and that’s what matters most.
Speaking of Silverdome, I bought a seatback last Friday at a small local sports shop and there were 4 in stock. Bought number 3. Looked a one of my dad's tickets and it said seat 3. Never know, that could've been the exact seat he sat in.
Idk if it was on purpose, but when WWE had to make a couple of residencies at Orlando's NBA arena, Tampa Bay's MLB stadium and a college arena, they named their residence Thunderdome
I’m a bit surprised you didn’t mention either the old city stadium in Green Bay (which is nowadays used for high school football) and Milwaukee County Stadium, which served as the part-time home for the Packers until the early 1990s (when they decided to play at Lambeau Field full-time).
Shea Stadium, the Astrodome, and to a lesser extent the Kingdome, could also be considered part of the 1970’s ‘cookie cutter’ stadium boom. They were all circular and had similar moveable seating layouts to the others. Obviously Shea Stadium has that huge section cut out for the outfield, but completing the circle was an option if the Jets decided to make it their permanent home.
correct..HOU, SEA, CIN, PIT, ATL, SD, OAK, NY Mets, MIN, SF, TOR, and MIA all had venues that had retractable seating to setup for baseball and football games..🏈⚾💺🏟🚜😆
As a Cowboys fan living in DFW, 1) There’s a highway mega project going on near the Texas Stadium site, so that’s why the Texas Dept of Transportation is using the site as a storage area 2) You forgot the Cotton Bowl, the Cowboys’s first home before Texas Stadium. 3) That playoff game back in ‘08 (I was 13 at the time) is why I hate the Giants the most in the division, I’m now triggered, lol. Another great stadium video Five Points!
SDCCU Stadium is being demolished, and will be replaced by a new stadium for the San Diego State Aztecs Football Program. Temporarily, they'll be playing at Dignity Health Sports Park (which is where the Chargers temporarily moved to until they moved into SoFi Stadium with the Rams)
Hey I think you missed Milwaukee County Stadium. The Packers would go down there and play a couple of regular season games a year. They did this from 1950-1990. The place got demolished and is now part of Miller Park’s parking lot. But anyways great video!
Probably outside of the timeframe of most stadiums in this video, he also missed (old) City Stadium in Green Bay, where they played from 1925 to 1956. Today not much remains of the original besides a storage shed, but the site is still used as a high school stadium.
A little later than that actually. The Lions last win in Wisconsin prior to 2015 I think it was, was in either 91 or 93, in Milwaukee. Ironically, they won there in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2019.
And don't forget the Lions played at Briggs Stadium, which was renamed Tiger Stadium when they moved to the dome... And that's gone. He missed two things.
Also, I live in Irving and I pass by the old lot of the Cowboys stadium a lot. There have been plenty of rumors going around that a mall was going to be built there, but no one really knows. They started building a bridge across the highway from which a parking lot for the stadium used to be. The bridge is noticeably unique and I feel like it is foreshadowing something in the near future.
Parts of "The Natural" were filmed at War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo. Someone once said, "The war that the stadium was memorial to must have been fought within its confines."
I'm from Metro Detroit, their biggest mistake was thinking they could deflate the roof when not in use to save money. Wrong. A snowstorm ripped holes in it and the dumbasses from Canada who bought it for $555,000 from the dumbass emergency financial manager didn't fix it. For a little while from the mid-2000's to like 2012 it hosted minor league soccer, concerts and monster truck shows. I wish I had gone to some of those things but sadly I haven't been there since like 1998. I miss the building. It was the first and the largest of its type of stadium in not just the U.S. but the world. It hosted 1994 World Cup games. It held the largest indoor crowd record until Jerry World beat it like 5 years ago.
@@nathanl7018 The Yankees (and Mets for that matter) were able to build a 21st Century Stadium without looking like a 21st Century Stadium. Its too bad the Bears didn't do that too.
Note: The Chicago Cardinals only played four games at soldier field during their last season in Chicago (the Bears played at Wrigley until 1970) The Cards played primarily at Normal Park (which has been demolished to make way for a residential area) and small bits of time in Wrigley and the old Comiskey
5:40 correction, Anaheim Stadium doesn’t just serve as a baseball field. When baseball is not in season, the field is converted into a dirt pitch for either MotoCross competitions or Monster Jam comps.

I'm quite impressed with the longevity of Philadelphia's Franklin Field. I'd like to know how it's stayed open for more than a century! By the looks of it, it's aged gracefully.
College stadiums tend to last, because their standards don't make them obsolete five years after they are built like the NFL does. They just stay adequate to watch football games and that is it. They aren't bound by the corporate elite like the NFL who has to have pleasure palaces built around a football field

He also missed the fact the NBA's Pistons played their home games there from 1978 to 1988 as well, so it wasn't football only strictly. Also housed a NASL soccer team too in addition to that in the Detroit Express.
Not a Cowboys fan but they did a lot of winning their. Doug Williams once said they have a hole in the roof so God can look down on his favorite team. They used to have a lot of luck. Thank God those days are over. Go EAGLES
@@cherbutler85 Actually -- The Cowboys are the only NFL team to record 20 straight winning seasons (1966-85), in which they missed the playoffs only twice (1974 and 1984). So they won more than they lost in Irving. The hole was so God could watch his Cowboys -- Win or Loose. AND also cause Tom Landry didn't want to wear his hat inside, so they left the hole in the roof.
Side-Side-Note (showing my age) I was at the game when Laimbeer and Bird got into a fight under the basket. That was one of the few sports highlights of the Silverdome's history.
The one that saddens me the most out of this list is the Pontiac Silver Dome in Detroit, site of my very 1st attended WrestleMania, WM 3 where i saw the greatest WM match of all time between Challenger Ricky Steamboat going against IC Champion, Macho Man Randy Savage. RIP Macho, Liz and the Silver Dome.
13:19 After the Giants started playing at now-Oracle Park in 2000, the 49ers continued playing at Candlestick Park until Levi's Stadium opened in 2014.
Damn good video!!! Was not really expecting anything from this video - glad I watched!! "Factory of sadness" describing Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Yep - that about describes that old cavern-of-tears. Been in that stadium a few times and actually watched chunks of concrete fall from the roofing during Indians games in the 1970s/80s. As for the newer "Factory of sadness" - cannot vouch for that one for never been to it. Thankfully, am also a Chiefs fun since 1988 so have something to cheer about for a change.
I am glad that I got to go to Texas Stadium two times in my lifetime. One of those times was actually the farewell season on Thanksgiving against the Seahawks.
But hold on, why wasn't City Stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin featured in this video? It was home to the Packers from 1925-1956 until the team moved into Lambeau Field in 1957. It's now used by Green Bay East High School for their football program and other athletic programs.
@@bainbridge-he6xp no, process of demolition began around 1999, originally they wanted to keep the facade there but government saw it as an eye sore and a disgrace, was completed demolition by 2002
@@seanparksgaming what I meant was that the players used to say what a crap hole it was. That's all. They had to put money into it just for it to operate. It only became an "eyesore" when the city realized how much the land was worth to a developer. Prime next to John's Hopkins University real estate. I know it's an old folks home but still I'm sure it was worth alot
I remember going to opening day at the Silverdome. They played the Rams, it was raining between the 30 yard lines and they players were slipping all over the place because the roof leaked. Jimmy Hoffa got gone that day. It was so Detroit.
I remember the Silverdome opening up so people could rollerblade on the concourses. Also, all the cars in the pics aren't fans. Volkswagen used the parking lot to store it's "dieselgate" recalled cars.
I miss Giants Stadium, I saw my last NFL game there with my dad before he passed away. I get why they demolished it but they should've left a plaque or two to show where it was. The mall surrounding it is hideous, an eye sore but happy it's finally opening soon and it has a Nickelodeon theme park and indoor ski slope. The mall looks like a giant Lego building
@@FivePointsVids I have to say this reply underrlated but Old Cleveland Municipal was not the old factory of sadness. There were more wins than losses there. The Browns were ripped off in 1995 and sucked for a long ass time but the truth is Muni had memories of the Browns championships before join the NFL and post joining the NFL. So what if it had those names but to gloss over the history like that is sad, man.
I was unaware that candlestick is now just an empty lot. For a field that had so much NFL history occur within it's walls, it is legitimately saddening to hear this fact.
I shed a tear for the Silverdome. I marched there twice in 2011 and 2012 for the Bands of America regional championships. That place was amazing. I had no idea what hallowed ground I had stepped on until it was gone Note: The Chicago Cardinals only played four games at Soldier Field during their last season in Chicago (the Bears played at Wrigley until 1970) The Cards played primarily at Normal Park (which has been demolished to make way for a residential area) and small bits of time in Wrigley and the old Comiskey I was unaware that candlestick is now just an empty lot. For a field that had so much NFL history within its walls, it is legitimately saddening to hear this fact. I always feel kinda sad when stadiums are demolished. Think about all the blood, sweat, tears, and heart that went into all the games that were played in them! Plus all the history as well just forgotten forever once every fan moves on. Those two bars on the bottom left of the open roof of Texas Stadium (19:19) were put there to support the harnesses for a famous stunt by Garth Brooks at his televised concert from the stadium in 1993 where he flew around the arena in a big harness... 2017, before my dad became ill, I was learning online about the history of the legendary Silverdome.

Battlehawks DID play in the dome, but obviously with the pandemic things shook down. But here are hopes the dome will be active again soon. And note, Busch Stadium II was closed in 2005 actually.
You forgot Kezar Stadium in SF, home of both the Whiners and the Raiders. It’s still there being used as a running track for the wealthy and as a place for hippies to pick their toenails.
Jared M whiners huh.... how many championships do the 49ers have 🤔🤔 ohhhh yeahhh I believe it’s five & the faders uhh three ? & how many years did it take the faders to even get to the big game yeahhh & they didn’t win at least the 49ers did get there & at least made it competitive & a close game when they went to the super bowl yeah I can also say my niners didn’t win either but they didn’t get blown out 😉
A stadium called Kezar is there, but it’s not stadium the Niners played at. It was demolished in 1989 and rebuilt as a much smaller facility. Fun fact... the killer in Dirty Harry lived at Kezar, and Harry shoots and tortures him on the playing field.
Children, children! As far as the rest of us are concerned, Both of your teams are trash now! So stop this petty bickering and get back to losing games.
I like this video, but how could you forget Tiger Stadium? The Detroit Lions played there from 1938-1974 winning 3 NFL Championships (1952, 1953, 1957) and hosted 2 NFL Championships Games in 1953 and 1957. The Tigers played there from 1912-1999 and the stadium was abandoned for a decade before being torn down in 2009. Today the Detroit Police Athletic League bought the site, maintained the field, constructed The Corner Ballpark where youth, high school and college sports are played. Also condos are being built along where the outfield stands used be, it's very cool.
Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium wasn’t demolished until 1997, the year after the ‘06 Olympic Summer Games were hosted in Atlanta. In fact, the Braves played their final season there. On another note, “...a new factory of sadness...”. Well said!
Seeing all of these old stadiums makes me wish they would put classic stadiums in Madden, even as download content. It'd be fun to use the Bears in Wrigley Field, the Steelers in Three Rivers Stadium, or the Giants in Yankee Stadium.
I have been to a game at Busch stadium III, many of games at Busch Stadium II. A couple of Rams games and a few conventions at The Dome/America's Center, and I grew up as a member at Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club. Loved the video!

@@ajk He also missed the fact the USFL team, the Michigan Panthers played and won a championship there too...I think that was in 1983...
"Soldier Field is a landmark but still can get domolished like the goal post in it last winter." LMAO! 😂😂😂
You forgot Briggs/Tiger Stadium, where the Lions played before moving to the Big Muffin (Silverdome).
Love your videos Fpv. Keep up the good work.
Thanks 👍
"With a hole in the roof so God can watch the cowboys lose" 🤣🤣
Your comment is only funny because, I know for a fact, it’s true.
Not a Cowboys fan but they did a lot of winning their. Doug Williams once said they have a hole in the roof so God can look down on his favorite team. They used to have a lot of luck. Thank God those days are over. Go EAGLES
@@cherbutler85 Actually -- The Cowboys are the only NFL team to record 20 straight winning seasons (1966-85), in which they missed the playoffs only twice (1974 and 1984). So they won more than they lost in Irving. The hole was so God could watch his Cowboys -- Win or Loose. AND also cause Tom Landry didn't want to wear his hat inside, so they left the hole in the roof.
Another Great vid!!! One side note, the Silverdome was a dual purpose stadium as the Pistons played there prior to moving to the Palace.
Side-Side-Note (showing my age) I was at the game when Laimbeer and Bird got into a fight under the basket. That was one of the few sports highlights of the Silverdome's history.
I loved the metrodome as a kid. Was amazing for football, baseball and even monster jam. It had a feel the two new stadiums don’t have.
Metrodome rules.
The one that saddens me the most out of this list is the Pontiac Silver Dome in Detroit, site of my very 1st attended WrestleMania, WM 3 where i saw the greatest WM match of all time between Challenger Ricky Steamboat going against IC Champion, Macho Man Randy Savage. RIP Macho, Liz and the Silver Dome.
Missed the fact that the silver dome was dual use as three pistons played there. Also Tiger stadium was the lions home prior to the silver dome
Didn't see your post. I mentioned both of these facts myself.
Pontiac Silverdome. So many childhood memories watching Barry Sanders. 😭
Bills are the only team in the New York
Bills are the Kings of New York #billsmafia
Nope the Jets and Giants
gilbert Dennis last time I checked the address of the stadium it was in New Jersey not the York
@@gilbertdennis4872 the jets and giants play in east Rutherford
13:19 After the Giants started playing at now-Oracle Park in 2000, the 49ers continued playing at Candlestick Park until Levi's Stadium opened in 2014.
I really like the old chargers stadium, now SDSU's, its one of my favorite ones in NCAA 14.
Damn good video!!! Was not really expecting anything from this video - glad I watched!! "Factory of sadness" describing Cleveland Municipal Stadium, Yep - that about describes that old cavern-of-tears. Been in that stadium a few times and actually watched chunks of concrete fall from the roofing during Indians games in the 1970s/80s. As for the newer "Factory of sadness" - cannot vouch for that one for never been to it. Thankfully, am also a Chiefs fun since 1988 so have something to cheer about for a change.
James Bednar thanks James!
I am glad that I got to go to Texas Stadium two times in my lifetime. One of those times was actually the farewell season on Thanksgiving against the Seahawks.
I got to go there a couple of times for numerous events, IT was a great old stadium
But hold on, why wasn't City Stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin featured in this video? It was home to the Packers from 1925-1956 until the team moved into Lambeau Field in 1957. It's now used by Green Bay East High School for their football program and other athletic programs.
No love for Tiger Stadium? Lions played there for many years before the Silverdome was built.
I was working at Foxboro Stadium in it's final three years. What a way to go out!
DUDE. How could you talk about the Pontiac Silverdome without mentioning WrestleMania III?
Fun fact: people in Denver still call it "Mile High Stadium:
Ravens played 2 years at Memorial Stadium! I was at the last game at memorial stadium on 12/14/1997 (my birthday)
Bro that place was in shambles by 97. 33rd street forever right?
@@bainbridge-he6xp no, process of demolition began around 1999, originally they wanted to keep the facade there but government saw it as an eye sore and a disgrace, was completed demolition by 2002
@@seanparksgaming what I meant was that the players used to say what a crap hole it was. That's all. They had to put money into it just for it to operate. It only became an "eyesore" when the city realized how much the land was worth to a developer. Prime next to John's Hopkins University real estate. I know it's an old folks home but still I'm sure it was worth alot
I love these videos and his humor😂
i love how you played Hungarian Rhapsody No.5
I would have been happy with Mambo No. 5 :)
I remember going to opening day at the Silverdome. They played the Rams, it was raining between the 30 yard lines and they players were slipping all over the place because the roof leaked. Jimmy Hoffa got gone that day. It was so Detroit.
User deleted video-Wtf
Worth the wait like always!
CONGRATS ON 200K SUBS DUDE
Silverdome is being replaced by an AMAZON distribution center
You mentioned Candlestick Park, but not Kezar Stadium at the end of Golden Gate Park, where I got my first taste of the NFL as a youth!
Busch Stadium II closed in 2005 and demolished later that year.
I remember the Silverdome opening up so people could rollerblade on the concourses. Also, all the cars in the pics aren't fans. Volkswagen used the parking lot to store it's "dieselgate" recalled cars.
I miss Giants Stadium, I saw my last NFL game there with my dad before he passed away. I get why they demolished it but they should've left a plaque or two to show where it was. The mall surrounding it is hideous, an eye sore but happy it's finally opening soon and it has a Nickelodeon theme park and indoor ski slope. The mall looks like a giant Lego building
I saw strahan get the sack record
Have the bonds been repaid on the stadium yet?
@@FivePointsVids I have to say this reply underrlated but Old Cleveland Municipal was not the old factory of sadness. There were more wins than losses there. The Browns were ripped off in 1995 and sucked for a long ass time but the truth is Muni had memories of the Browns championships before join the NFL and post joining the NFL. So what if it had those names but to gloss over the history like that is sad, man.
Giants Stadium:
And yet, they have the wrong city, state and team names (Jets and Giants). It should be NEW JERSEY.
The Texas Stadium lot is still used for construction. There have been numerous freeway construction projects in the area which are still ongoing.
Lol San Diego High is my HS which is where the chargers used to play (Balboa Stadium), nice vid man👍🏽
I was unaware that candlestick is now just an empty lot. For a field that had so much NFL history occur within it's walls, it is legitimately saddening to hear this fact.
8:32/Keeping it classy, hey, narrator! Let's here your commentary on the 1976 Olympics and Bruce Jenner's MANLY performance!😍🇵🇷🤣
I shed a tear for the Silverdome. I marched there twice in 2011 and 2012 for the Bands of America regional championships. That place was amazing. I had no idea what hallowed ground I had stepped on until it was gone Note: The Chicago Cardinals only played four games at Soldier Field during their last season in Chicago (the Bears played at Wrigley until 1970) The Cards played primarily at Normal Park (which has been demolished to make way for a residential area) and small bits of time in Wrigley and the old Comiskey I was unaware that candlestick is now just an empty lot. For a field that had so much NFL history within its walls, it is legitimately saddening to hear this fact. I always feel kinda sad when stadiums are demolished. Think about all the blood, sweat, tears, and heart that went into all the games that were played in them! Plus all the history as well just forgotten forever once every fan moves on. Those two bars on the bottom left of the open roof of Texas Stadium (19:19) were put there to support the harnesses for a famous stunt by Garth Brooks at his televised concert from the stadium in 1993 where he flew around the arena in a big harness... 2017, before my dad became ill, I was learning online about the history of the legendary Silverdome. I went there that day after the failed implosion to see the stadium for the first time. Way before I was born, my dad used to watch Barry Sanders play. In 2017, we went to Ford Field for the first time for my high school championship game. Since then, I wanted to take my dad to a Lions game, but he had pulmonary fibrosis, survived 2 lung transplants last year, and fought his final battle with chronic rejection back in June.
What about Tiger Stadium, the lions played there for awhile.
Loved the calm music when watching the stadiums go down
The pistons played at the silver dome for a bit
Battlehawks DID play in the dome, but obviously with the pandemic things shook down. But here are hopes the dome will be active again soon. And note, Busch Stadium II was closed in 2005 actually.
You forgot Kezar Stadium in SF, home of both the Whiners and the Raiders. It’s still there being used as a running track for the wealthy and as a place for hippies to pick their toenails.
Jared M whiners huh.... how many championships do the 49ers have 🤔🤔 ohhhh yeahhh I believe it’s five & the faders uhh three ? & how many years did it take the faders to even get to the big game yeahhh & they didn’t win at least the 49ers did get there & at least made it competitive & a close game when they went to the super bowl yeah I can also say my niners didn’t win either but they didn’t get blown out 😉
A stadium called Kezar is there, but it’s not stadium the Niners played at. It was demolished in 1989 and rebuilt as a much smaller facility. Fun fact... the killer in Dirty Harry lived at Kezar, and Harry shoots and tortures him on the playing field.
Children, children! As far as the rest of us are concerned, Both of your teams are trash now! So stop this petty bickering and get back to losing games.
Whiners and Faders LOL
I like Kezar's unique design of its seating!!!
I like this video, but how could you forget Tiger Stadium? The Detroit Lions played there from 1938-1974 winning 3 NFL Championships (1952, 1953, 1957) and hosted 2 NFL Championships Games in 1953 and 1957. The Tigers played there from 1912-1999 and the stadium was abandoned for a decade before being torn down in 2009. Today the Detroit Police Athletic League bought the site, maintained the field, constructed The Corner Ballpark where youth, high school and college sports are played. Also condos are being built along where the outfield stands used be, it's very cool.
Tiger stadium: Reggie Jackson famous all star homerun: roofer; Light homerun : Cecil fielder left roof homerun
amazon is gonna develop the old lot of the silverdome
Your content is super brother!! Absolutely love it man!
Slight typo, Five Points; Busch II wasn't closed in 1987, it was closed in the mid 2000's.
2005
Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium wasn’t demolished until 1997, the year after the ‘06 Olympic Summer Games were hosted in Atlanta. In fact, the Braves played their final season there.
On another note,
“...a new factory of sadness...”. Well said!
'96 Olympics
@@rashaadjorden1187 I’m getting old! My credibility is in serious jeopardy. ;)
I thought most teams were playing in their old stadiums
Gawd I'm old!
Congrats on 200k!
Lol I’m going to SDCCU Stadium this weekend. To watch an Aztecs game (damn I wish I could say Chargers), but Fly Eagles Fly!
Seeing all of these old stadiums makes me wish they would put classic stadiums in Madden, even as download content. It'd be fun to use the Bears in Wrigley Field, the Steelers in Three Rivers Stadium, or the Giants in Yankee Stadium.
jimbo 2346 oh my god yes!
Excellent idea
Chargers in Qualcomm
You missed Kezar Stadium for both the 49ers and Raiders
These stock video clips kill me every time lol
Chargers belong in San Diego :(
I’m now not a football fan because of that
Didn't they only lose them because the city refused to replace Qualcomm?
Thank you for talking about Fulton County I took my son to see Falcon's games in that stadium for a good chunk of his childhood
Although I am glad Lambeau field wasn’t on the list...
Should of included Packers’ city stadium.
Looks like he didn't do his homework.
I have been to a game at Busch stadium III, many of games at Busch Stadium II. A couple of Rams games and a few conventions at The Dome/America's Center, and I grew up as a member at Herbert Hoover Boys and Girls Club. Loved the video!
