Camden Yards is my hometown baseball field. Seats are cheap, theres always an amazing atmosphere, and its easy to get to. Definitely worth going several times per year.
@@noahgreaser1213 What are you talking about? The stadiums are in the tourism core of Baltimore. Not the hood. Convention Center is one block east, the Arena and University Hospital are two blocks north, Ravens Stadium is just south, and just west are businesses and an expensive neighborhood. The hood is many blocks further out in either direction.
Oakland and San Diego should have took a page from how Green Bay and Kansas City save to their old facilities color coordinated them and make the stadium maybe a little smaller while also building a a facade around existing bowl of the arena for more space
Fenway Park may look nice but can be a nightmare attending a game. Once your at your seat, your basically stuck unless you want to crawl over 20 people to get to an isle, plus seats are narrow and little leg room. Very cramped.
So many seats have obstructed views too because of the support pillars. Went to a game when I visited Boston and noticed if I was just a few seats over, I would’ve had an obstructed view.
PNC in Pittsburgh has aged very well. Now if they had an MLB caliber team playing inside… When I first moved to Boston in the eighties Fenway was slowly becoming a dump. New ownership has done a remarkable job refurbishing it.
Agreed bad attendance is due to bad teams its one of the biggest parks for road trips for a reason its beautiful and the clemente Bridge is ICONIC The neighborhood and area around it is a disaster and the Vornado Tornado (a realtor buying up ALL the surrounding blocks shutting it down and making a construction nightmare by renovating all at once) makes it hard to access MSG in its core is the definition of the best bones ever...from the cake like panels outside to the cable stay roof that can be blown off with even a 5k college or wnba crowd...the replacement of the seating twice were needed the first time was very 60s cookie cutter and the 90s teal was too visible even when full...the new seating doubled down on that only the (infamous) blue seats are the upper deck the rest is very open and while you can't walk from the lower deck to 300s anymore the idea and the round walkways is still there Don't let Dolan rants confuse it MSG has aged VERY VERY well and the seating replacements have added not subtracted from its aura (especially the roof which makes the place explode even with small crowds) thibk of it this way its still the A venue in ny despite both Barclay's and USB opening and both being majestic
Had it not been unnecessarily abandoned and then demolished, The Palace of Auburn Hills would be on this list. The now former home of the Detroit Pistons opened in 1988 and was way ahead of its time. Over the years renovations were made to keep it fresh and current. The Palace was the trigger for new arenas to be built in the 90s and beyond.
Camden Yards is brilliant. So many stadiums built after it are now considered ready for the wrecking ball. Arrowhead and Lambeau have just been maintained well and had great original designs. Stadiums should be relevant for a minimum of 50 years in my opinion.
I would put highmark/new era field in buffalo on that list. A small market like buffalo holding on to its stadium, selling out almost every game despite it being freezing cold most of the time is up there. Being open in 1973 and will be hosting stuff till 2026 while not being considered a dumo is an ahievement for a really small market team
Lambeau is easily my favorite stadium. The thing about it is that aside from the bowl, it’s 💯 new. They demolished the entire press box and luxury boxes on the 1999-2003 complete rebuild. They built the new press boxes, luxury boxes over 30 feet away from the bowl. They filled that gap with seating. Then there’s the south addition with the large club, seats, and patio which fully enclosed the stadium which really help with the wind that used to reek havoc on the enclosed end with licks. 3:18
I'm by no means a Dodger fan but Dodger Stadium should be on this list. Dodger Stadium is an example of if you renovate and maintain an old facility you can make it an icon and last a long time.
I know there's a number of college football stadiums that are good options for this video, but one you didn't mention that I love is Husky stadium in Seattle. It's around 110 years old and the setting amazing.
Rogers centre was made in 1989 with a retractable roof that engineers today still consider ahead of its time. Especially with the new renovations it never really felt u were sitting in a stadium that was built in 89
The New Orleans Superdome built in 1975, is being upgraded yet again, adding the latest, boxes at ground level. The stadium was built for much more than estimated in 1975, but it is still functioning in a very successful way. The Saints are its major tenant, so for 10 games a year, it is really perfect for New Orleans as we have to have a domed stadium. It was built with its own power station, which the Arena where the Pelicans play uses.
Wrigley Field. They did a great job with the video board additions. Still has a special charm even without as many rooftops views. The upper deck is sick you can see the lake in the background.
I actually l think the Camden Yards outfield change is pretty cool. The stadium was intended to be a throwback to the stadiums of the old days with the crooked outfield, and the city landscape being built in to the park. So the outfield quirk sort of adds to that.
It's not that stadium as like fine wine, they keep up the stadiums with upgrades and renovations where it doesn't look like an old building. Wrigley field and Fenway park received major renovations to keep it current looking with modern amenities. About the batter's eye at Oracle Park, that's a club member area where fans can have access to watching bullpens, arcade games, and extra concessions. Giants tried to find ways to squeeze out extra revenue.
Moving the left field fence back at Camden Yards was a smart decision. There should be some difficulty hitting a homerun in some portion of the outfield. Fenway park has the short leftfield but right field is deep, Yankee stadium has the short porch in right but the left field power alley is deep. Camden Yards plays fair now, previously it was a joke as far as home runs allowed.
At Camden, removing the first rows of seats to move the fence back also naturally raised the fence. It would have been a lot more work to lower the remaining seats.
I disagree about the name change in San Francisco. Oracle is a cool name for a ballpark, whereas AT&T sounds corporate. Besides, before it was AT&T it was called Pacific Bell Park, or Pac Bell. That name had caught on with people and was fairly popular. AT&T feels like it was the least popular of the three names that the Stadium has had. In the end, none of the names are as iconic as Candlestick Park. That place was pretty bad for a baseball game, but the stadium had a really cool name.
You might want to fact check this, but I'm pretty sure I heard Oracle park has the bullpens on field only because they forgot to put bullpens in the design. I might be wrong.
They moved the bullpens last year, they now reside in RC. Triples alley is still there and they changed the seating in that area to being a Bar/restaurant-like patio area. The Garden is a vegetarian and vegan food only option, he left out a lot about Oracle park.
Staples Center (I’m not calling it that other name lmao) is absolutely the best stadium in the NBA still. Although I do think a lot of that has to do with Kobe Bryant being the face of the league for almost 20 years, with so many of his special moments happening in there. I hope they don’t change things too much with the current renovations. Just needs some updating / new tech to bring it to 2023 standards.
@@moo-moo74 Yes, I should have been clear on that. Staples was a "replacement" only in that the Lakers moved from the Forum to Staples. Good catch. Don't want to confuse the youngsters.
The O's GM and owner both suggested they're not finished renovating the left field wall and seats. I think they may end up splitting the difference between where the wall was and where it is now. Maybe even bring it back where it was, but leave the height. Make it more symmetrical with how the right field wall is with the score board.
Except Camden Yards had this huge beautiful clock tower in past center field that now is a hotel . Look at older photos, you’ll see it I wish they kept that
I don’t think you can blame Oracle Park for the poor attendance. Folks in the Bay Area are just fair weather fans. Even the 49ers have trouble selling tickets if they’re not winning. The Warriors didn’t really have a fan base till Curry showed up. Just a bad sports town. That stadium is drop dead gorgeous though. Prettiest ball park I’ve been in (better than Dodgers or Yankee Stadium IMO)
All the seats at Arrowhead are less than 8 years old. They went through a major renovation 10+ years ago. $50 million renovation for the World Cup next year.
I used to go pass Camden Yards every day when Iived in Baltimore while walking downtown to the Inner Harbor. I also remember when the Hilton was being built too. Only been to 2 games though.

The only thing I don’t like about Baltimore is there’s no organ music or music between batters. No crowd chants or anything, kinda bland.
I didn't knew that Oracle Park was home of the Boston Red Sox😂😂😂 3:36
Bostonians punching air. “This fak’n guy. Honey, where are my khakis? I want to drive to this guy’s house and turn him into clam chowdah.”

The neighborhood and area around it is a disaster and the Vornado Tornado (a realtor buying up ALL the surrounding blocks shutting it down and making a construction nightmare by renovating all at once) makes it hard to access
MSG in its core is the definition of the best bones ever...from the cake like panels outside to the cable stay roof that can be blown off with even a 5k college or wnba crowd...the replacement of the seating twice were needed the first time was very 60s cookie cutter and the 90s teal was too visible even when full...the new seating doubled down on that only the (infamous) blue seats are the upper deck the rest is very open and while you can't walk from the lower deck to 300s anymore the idea and the round walkways is still there

Arrowhead is a fantastic stadium for how old it is. Looking forward to the next renovation
This is exactly why Kauffman should not be replaced too. Sherman is this stupid
It’s in the middle of nowhere.
@@alwillk agreed, location is next to horrible but it gives a ton of room for tailgating
Coors Field. Easily a top three stadium in the MLB and it's going to stay that way for the foreseeable future

One thing that sucks about Camden Yards is the clock tower that you cannot see anymore because of that shitty motel the built, obscuring the view.
Absolutely atrocious building
Wrigley field?????
You missed Dodger Stadium. It's in an era and class of its own. Only Jet Age ('50s and '60s) baseball park still around.
Oracle Park is GREEN & RED & has a GREEN MONSTER? 🤔
😂😂
Rogers centre was made in 1989 with a retractable roof that engineers today still consider ahead of its time. Especially with the new renovations it never really felt u were sitting in a stadium that was built in 89
You have a caption of “oracle park (2000)” over the video of Fenway Park
When did Fenway become Oracle 🤔
Pac Bell Park was the FAR BETTER stadium name for the SF Giants than AT&T & Oracle Park...

Camden Yards is and always has been a left handed hitters park. The left field wall being moved back and raised makes it even more obvious.
It's not that stadium as like fine wine, they keep up the stadiums with upgrades and renovations where it doesn't look like an old building.

Does anyone remember when Oracle Park was called SBC Park? Because everyone seems to only be mentioning Pacific Bell and AT&T park names.
Seeing so many people talking about Camden Yards has put it on my list of stadiums I want to go to. As for the Lakers home, we still call it Staples

They need a new and bigger scoreboard in Baltimore. Way too small and the smallest in MLB I believe.
At Camden, removing the first rows of seats to move the fence back also naturally raised the fence. It would have been a lot more work to lower the remaining seats.
The Milwaukee Brewers might move to Green-Bay
He's right about Fenway Park about the seats down the right field line.
Changing the name from AT&T Park to Oracle Park is just a sponsor name change, i don't think it makes it less iconic.
Before AT&T, it was Pacific Bell Park... I'm not sure what the guy is talking about
Umm Coors Field???

The Golden 1 Center in Sacramento (Kings) already has natural light coming in.
