Oakland arena actually holds quite a lot of concerts. I think that San Francisco as a market can definitely support two indoor arenas, also the Oakland arena is way easier to get to via BART or via car than Chase centre.
Went to say this..they actually building a baseball field where Fulton Co Stadium once stood. I think they can work their magic doing a renovation or if they demolish it, build a new one right there
The mistake with that was not making it a dome/retractable roof. That was why the new stadium was built and the old one converted to a football/soccer stadium.
Kansas City is actually getting a Pro Volleyball Federation team in 2025 and I’d imagine they will play at T-Mobile arena. Yeah it’s not NHL or NBA, but as a KC resident I’m just glad SOMEONE is finally moving in 😂 I’m actually very much looking forward to the PVF coming to KC!
I went to a concert at the old Turner Field a few years ago. The took everything baseball related down basically and it's super generic. Truist Park is so much nicer for baseball. Sightlines, etc.
What’s up DG! I’m a resident of the DFW area. So what will happen if globe life park fails, it was designed back in the 90s of any sports failed in the stadium, they designed it to where globe life can be turned into condos or a add on to Texas Live
Those arenas can make money doing concerts and other events so usually are kept around until replaced. For example, Seattles arena for the Sonics did just fine for many years before being rebuilt for the NHL.
I would have thought with the Warriors moving across the bay, the Oracle Arena site would have been a site to consider for a new A's stadium. The location is excellent form a standpoint of being able to get fans in before the game and out after the game (access to freeways and BART). It's also close to the Oakland airport. With the A's seemingly headed for Las Vegas, I see the Coliseum site as potentially one of the best development sites in Oakland that will be available in the foreseeable future. The key thing to consider would be seismic issues and whether there is a significant risk of liquefaction in the event of a major earthquake stronger than the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.
HIGHLY doubt Quebec gets that team back with how the NHL is approaching expansion. The Canadian dollar has put the country on the financial back burner for one, and 2, the NHL is more interested in expanding to untapped NHL markets (SLC, Houston, why they went to Vegas, etc), reason being because they want to grow the game. The Nordiques coming back, while sure would be returning a team to what certainly is a traditional hockey market, does not exactly grow the game, nor is a financially sound decision by the NHL due to the Canadian dollar, plus the NON-GUARANTEE of the Quebec City area consistently selling out the building so the NHL does make money in what is already a very small market (Winnipeg & Ottawa are having trouble filling their buildings, in traditional markets). The odds of Quebec getting their team back are almost completely zero, but MAYBE there’s an outside chance of their return… would be very surprised if it happened though.
@depressedginger: Error in video: You've mentioned the XFL multiple times in this video. The XFL no longer exists. It merged with the USFL to become the UFL.
I doubt Oakland Arena goes as it hosts alot of concerts. The Bay Area is huge so having 3 arenas (Oakland, San Francisco, San Jose actually works for the Bay Area.
The videotron centre will get a CEBL team (Canadian professional basketball league). It draws around 7,000 to 10,000 fans per game. Plus I think the Quebec should lobby for an NLL team.
Just because an arena doesn’t host a major league team doesn’t mean that it is vacant. The T-Mobile Center has already justified its existence as a major concert venue. If it eventually attracts an NBA or NHL team that would be the cherry on top, but even if it doesn’t it still will have served its purpose.
You mention St. john Arena, former home of Ohio State Basketball, then you mention St. Johns basketball playing some home games here and the others at Madison Square Garden. That is 2 different teams and locations.
Camping World is not vacant. It is used for The Citrus Bowl and Pro Bowl among others. Monster Trucks etc. It was the home of UCF until they built the new facility. They completely rebuilt the stadium approximately ten years ago. Orlando built a Brand new stadium for the MLS team just blocks away. It isn't going anywhere.
@@LeCommieBoi when both leagues get their situation solved especially with the NBA tv deal negotiations is next month. Which conference is Kansas City gonna be in East or west? I say east because of the connections with Cavs and pacers.
Depending how the UFL goes this year. It's plausible they extend at team back to Orlando. Which would then play at Camping World. Florida is too ripe of a market for them to stay out of it for long.
I mean, there is nothing wrong with repurposing stadiums to save materials from being wasted. Like so what if its not perfect, its history.. younger people don't get that much
Sorry, but I think you are not very informed about the Georgia State stadium. I like your videos but this makes me wonder if you need to spend a little more time on research. State was previously at the Georgia Dome which was far too big for them - even the renovated Turner Field is too big given the tiny crowd when I went there last fall for their game against JMU. But they picked up Turner Field when the Braves moved to the suburbs and the conversion is perfect for their needs as a Group of Five program. Far from them leaving that stadium, my guess is that it is highly unlikely that will happen. They are involved in a lot of mixed used development that is transforming the surrounding neighborhood. So many of the old Turner Field and, even going further back, Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium parking lots are being redeveloped. There is brand new retail that has opened in the last 18 months or so on the opposite corner from the stadium. New housing has been built in the immediate vicinity and I just read an article on Urbanize yesterday that more just north of the stadium is being planned. They built their brand new basketball arena on the far end of the old Atlanta Fulton County stadium lots on the road that leads to the downtown. And there are plans to redevelop the old Atlanta-Fulton County stadium footprint into a new State baseball and softball complex. I think it is highly, highly doubtful they would abandon Turner Field and they likely do not have the funds to tear it down and build a new stadium of similar size when Turner is very functional. In fact, the delay in the baseball/softball complex is reported to be due to a lack of funding. Also, there is the potential to host other events there. Drum Corps International has moved its annual Atlanta show to State. And there have had high school playoffs that have used the facility, though the state title games moved back to Mercedes-Benz this past fall.
Meadowlands arena is being used as a sound and television stage for NBC. The old Winners Club Lounge is now a regional HQ for the state police. The NJ Sports Hall of Fame is still in the Box Office and not open to the public unfortunately. The New Jersey Hall of Fame is set to open soon across the street at the American Dream mall, I would propose all the plaques from the NJ Sports Hall of Fame be moved to the new site at the American Dream
I think its embarrassing for the league to be okay with the Coyotes playing in a 5,000 seat arena and be a clearly money hemorrhaging organization for years and years, yet let Quebec City which would be like another Winnipeg with a strong fanbase and passion for the game sit with an empty new arena.
1) You intro the video as stadiums around "the united states", then talk about an arena in Quebec. 2) Half of these "vacant stadiums" have tenants. Do better.
UFL is fully pro. "Semi-pro" are those tough guys in your town who play for $50 a game.
50 bucks + a roach/bedbug infested motel for away games
Let’s go with the minor leagues
T-Mobile is a major concert venue for KC, and hosts the Big 12 Tournament, not the Big Ten
There was one stadium I was surprised that you left off, I wanted to hear your take on what could happen to the Houston Astrodome in the future
May be wrong but pretty sure it’s just staying there as a sort of historical thing.
Oakland arena actually holds quite a lot of concerts. I think that San Francisco as a market can definitely support two indoor arenas, also the Oakland arena is way easier to get to via BART or via car than Chase centre.
I’ve seen a lot of act move over to the new arena in SF.
They should go back to using the Vow Pslace. 😆
I think turner field will stay for another 15 to 20 years because Georgia state built up the area around it
Went to say this..they actually building a baseball field where Fulton Co Stadium once stood. I think they can work their magic doing a renovation or if they demolish it, build a new one right there
People in the Bay Area prefer Oakland Arena over the new Chase Center because it’s easier to get to and they still host a lot of events
Such a shame about Globe Life Park, grew up going to games there and was one of the prettiest ballparks in the country
The mistake with that was not making it a dome/retractable roof. That was why the new stadium was built and the old one converted to a football/soccer stadium.
Globelife is the new one they've rename the old stadium Choctaw Park
Kansas City is actually getting a Pro Volleyball Federation team in 2025 and I’d imagine they will play at T-Mobile arena. Yeah it’s not NHL or NBA, but as a KC resident I’m just glad SOMEONE is finally moving in 😂 I’m actually very much looking forward to the PVF coming to KC!
I don’t know about recently, but in the past Camping World/Citrus Bowl hosted two college bowl games each year.
I went to a concert at the old Turner Field a few years ago. The took everything baseball related down basically and it's super generic. Truist Park is so much nicer for baseball. Sightlines, etc.
Globe Life currently has two tennants, a Major League Rugby side and an MLS next pro side. I can't imagine either draw very big crowds
Why go to a MLS next pro game when you can go see FC Dallas.
What’s up DG! I’m a resident of the DFW area. So what will happen if globe life park fails, it was designed back in the 90s of any sports failed in the stadium, they designed it to where globe life can be turned into condos or a add on to Texas Live
Those arenas can make money doing concerts and other events so usually are kept around until replaced. For example, Seattles arena for the Sonics did just fine for many years before being rebuilt for the NHL.
Could they use St Johns Arena for high school basketball games, track meets and the like?

i cracked up when you said "magic shows" lol
I have a strong hunch that the nordiques will be playing at center videotron center when Quebec gets an nhl team
HIGHLY doubt Quebec gets that team back with how the NHL is approaching expansion. The Canadian dollar has put the country on the financial back burner for one, and 2, the NHL is more interested in expanding to untapped NHL markets (SLC, Houston, why they went to Vegas, etc), reason being because they want to grow the game.

Also the ramparts draw really well for a junior league team

Vacant, to Ginger, means not having a pro team or having a permanent tenant.
@@MannyLoxx2010 words mean something. That’s not what the word “vacant” means.

yup Orlando and st Louis are gonna get an nfl team sooner than later
Vacant, as in, no permanent tenant. Depressed Ginger is correct in how he uses the term.
It doesn't have a permanent tenant. It's vacant. There were multiple venues in the video this applied to.
They want to update the Citrus bowl for the jaguars?
Kansas City are probably going to get a NBA team at some point
Seems likely. Maybe NHL too
@@LeCommieBoi when both leagues get their situation solved especially with the NBA tv deal negotiations is next month.
Which conference is Kansas City gonna be in East or west? I say east because of the connections with Cavs and pacers.
Kings and Devils going back home to KC.
@@Itshadow306 disagree with your take. It’s going to be a different team name.
@@dreamcage1801What connection with the Cavs?
The Big-O in MTL just announced a nearly 900 million dollar roof replacement. For what exactly? Who knows.

Depending how the UFL goes this year. It's plausible they extend at team back to Orlando. Which would then play at Camping World. Florida is too ripe of a market for them to stay out of it for long.
Uh, I had never even _heard_ of "Camping World Stadium" until now.
Previously Tangarine Bowl or Citris Bowl Stadium.
Also hosted the Bourbon Bowl. Lol.
Go Muddogs!
What is a jagWIRE? Is that anything like a jaguar?
Make global life park
a concept theater

Bonjour du Québec! There was a team in Québec, les Nordiques, but they left because of the $$$ (and they won't come back)
maybe taylor swift can preform in t-mobile arena, travis plays right next door
5:48 if Quebec city isn't gonna get an NHL team, at least give it AHL team
No Meadowlands Arena?

It's Choctaw Stadium not GlobeLife
I. Don't understand why it not use for concerts.
If I were an Orlando taxpayer, I’d be pissed at how much money the city is throwing at Camping World. Nobody wants to play there and they never will.
I think its embarrassing for the league to be okay with the Coyotes playing in a 5,000 seat arena and be a clearly money hemorrhaging organization for years and years, yet let Quebec City which would be like another Winnipeg with a strong fanbase and passion for the game sit with an empty new arena.
Bring back the Nordiques!
DG new pfp kinda trash
UFL isn’t semi-pro anymore. Now we have a legit great spring league, go Renegades!
Jag-wires….
1) You intro the video as stadiums around "the united states", then talk about an arena in Quebec.
2) Half of these "vacant stadiums" have tenants.
Do better.
2 things. Does this guy do ANY research? Also, I hate to be this guy. Learn the meaning of the word dilapidated!!
You're way off on Oakland Arena. Its still a pretty modern stadium that hosts big name concerts regularly. Expect it to be around well past 2030.
Why not make St. John's Arena in Columbus, Ohio home to an arena football team?
