Up until the early 90’s, the Packers played 3 home games per year at Milwaukee County Stadium. The football field fit so tightly in that baseball stadium that the corner of one end zone was right along the wall, and both teams had their benches on the same side of the field.
@@emptyhand777 Wasn't that City Stadium? The story I read is that County Stadium had just opened and the NFL told the Packers itd be their permanent home if they didn't stop playing at a high school. That's why we have Lambeau now.
@DaleEndres I believe the entire point of both teams sharing the same sideline was not to block any views of fans in the closest rows of box seats near the railing along the first base line. Same thing occured with the Minnesota Vikings games at Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, Minn., Detroit Lions games at Tiger Stadium and possibly even Chi. Bears games at Wrigley Field. Both teams using same sideline.
The Polo Grounds never hosted polo in this iteration. The name just carried over from the baseball Giants’ original home field closer to Central Park, which was actually used for polo. You have to remember that in the 1880s, the area around 110th street, where the “real” polo grounds was located, was still the country. In fact, what prompted the move up to 155th street was that the city was finally ready to build 111th Street (which had been surveyed way back in 1811) and the field was in the way. The Polo Grounds we know from old photos was supposed to be called Brotherhood Field and then Brush Stadium after the 1911 renovation, but old names die hard. Think of it as how fans are slow to adopt sponsor names for stadiums now. ...and that's Shea Stadium at 4:46
Also the Polo Grounds wasn't "renovated" in 1911---it was rebuilt after a fire. The Giants played for a year at the Highlanders' Hilltop Park before moving to their new stadium in 1912. The next year, the Highland ers also moved to the Polo Grounds and changed their name to the Yankees. Before 1912, "Yankees" was an unofficial nickname for the team by New York sportswriters. It was a joke equating the American Civil War to the rivalry between the National and American Leagues, and since Hilltop Park was north of the Polo Grounds, that made them THE North or "Yankees."
The reason Polo Grounds had a weird shape had nothing to do with polo. The baseball team wanted more seats, but were limited by the land space. However, in those days, there were no standards about field size, so a baseball team could do anything. (The Red Sox added more seats and bullpens to Fenway Park, shortening the right field foul pole to only 302 feet.) Polo Grounds was even worse. The addition of seats shortened left field to only 257 feet, right field to 271 feet. Unfortunately, Polo Grounds was a dump with no parking, and the baseball team couldn't get a new stadium.
Someone once said the cockroaches were so big there you could ride them in the locker room, and it had the worst Astroturf in that there were large gaps in the carpet.
I played a youth football game there in 1974! We played right before a Houston Texans WFL game. We got to seat in fold out chairs on the sidelines and watch the game.
Also forgot old Mile High Stadium in Denver. It started out as a baseball stadium with the Denver Bears minor league team. Broncos moved in and made the capacity bigger. Also by 1977 the stadium was fully renovated and had a cool feature of moving the east stands for baseball. The stands were moved by water. Pretty impressive!!! Considering we still had minor league baseball until the Rockies came in 1993 and played there until Coors Field was built and completed in 1995.
Wrigley Field, the football field didn't totally fit, the south end zone shorter on its east end due to the first base wall. The north end zone had half of the end line up against a brick wall with some gym mats hanging on it. For baseball the lower boxes had 4 fixed seats on each side of an isle. Hallas had them all removed and replaced with 5 tiny folding metal chairs. There was a huge temporary bleachers in the outfield with 10,000 bench seats. There were hardly enough washrooms, using gutters to pee into and the concession stands were horrible. I always made sure to get a decent Chicago dog before going in. I remember the Bears beating Y.A. Title to a bloody pulp for the Championship while freezing my butt off. What a game!
I went to a couple games before the remodel and remember the old troughs that were used in the men’s room. Stadium is beautiful today, though. Better amenities, but still feels like Wrigley inside the stadium. If there’s one thing they didn’t do correctly it was the remodel of Wrigleyville. I miss the old neighborhood feel it had.
What's unique about Oakland Coliseum is that it had the length of the football field run in BOTH directions....in mid 80s the field length ran from home plate past 2nd base towards center field, then in the 90s n 2000s the field length ran parallel to a line running from 3rd base to 1st base.
The orientation of the field changed if the A's were still playing. The Raiders would setup temporary stands in the OF grass and run the football field pole to pole when the A's were done for the year. They stopped doing this when they returned.
I just remember Howard Cossell in his weird way of talking saying ""The OAKLAND Alameeda county collosium" and he drug out that last word and practically yelled Oakland!
Could have also added Sun Devil Stadium where the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals played from 1988 to 2005. Like Green Bay, it had bleachers all around the bowl and kickoff temperatures often exceeded 100 degrees. I get a lot of fans don't like domed stadiums, but we're pretty grateful for State Farm Stadium and its A/C.
Still think Lambeau Field is the best place to watch an NFL game. Nothing like watching a game in the snow, freezing your ass off. Football is a brutal sport, conquering the elements is part of the game. Also Green Bay fans are effing nuts, I can't think of a more devoted fan base in all of US major league sports.
The Rams were the first Cleveland football team to play in Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Their last game in Cleveland before moving to Los Angeles was the 1945 NFL championship game, where the Rams beat the Washington Redskins 15-14 on a freezing cold December day.
Braves Field in Boston, Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, Shibe Park in Philadelphia, Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Griffith Stadium in Washington, D.C., Tiger Stadium in Detroit, Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Comiskey Park in Chicago, Sportsman's Park in St. Louis, Milwaukee County Stadium and Municipal Stadium in Kansas City are all a part of this as well.
Yep, I remember watching the Thanksgiving Day games on TV from Tiger Stadium every year. I remember one in the late 60s was played in a snowstorm (I think maybe against the Vikings?). As a young kid living in Alabama I thought it was so cool watching football played in snow.
God, how I miss old Cleveland Stadium (erroneously, in its later years, still called "Municipal", it's original name, but when modell (refuse to capitalize his name) bought it as the Cleveland Stadium Corporation). Went there often during my high school years. The place had atmosphere. It was working class. Normal people could afford tickets. Everybody around you was an instant friend, rabid Browns rooters all. The Browns, in their all white home unis and the orange helmets (hate the all dark crap they wear at home now) seemed to jump out against the gray Northeast Ohio skies. Moved away after college. Made one trip back to a game in the 2000's. Hated it. I sat among some "wine & cheese" types, decked out in their Dry Fit golf polos, talking about everything but the game. Younger people were on their phones. I always said my Cleveland Browns fandom ended in '95. I still want them to win, but nothing is the same. You really can't go home again.
NFL teams playing in baseball diamonds stadiums was the coolest, greatest and the best thing in sports history, it was very old school, it was inexpensive and it was fan friendly as well, now it is no more sharing stadiums!!
Hard to believe Metropolitan Stadium (The Old Met) in Bloomington MN (home of Vikings) didn't make this list. Only stadium in NFL (at least as of 1970) where both teams shared the same sideline.
That, and it was yet another odd "football field fit into a baseball diamond" kind of stadium. The early years at least had movable stands that they could roll up and make it a somewhat decent football rectangle, but after later expanding the stadium they bolted down all the stands permanently - so that every seat in the stadium was _miles_ away from every sideline. The giant field, freezing cold, and erector-set construction was the Met's calling cards.
Cleveland Municipal Stadium!! Absolutely loved everything about that place, seats actually situated behind structure poles, men's room trough overflowed on the floor, great times !
Not gonna lie. Seeing baseball diamonds on NFL fields seemed weird, but cool to me. Made me wonder if it was actual dirt on the field or if the diamond was just uniquely painted in. Made me excited to see if a play would end on one of the bases or home plate and if the diamond was near or at the end zone
Most of the 26 NFL teams from the 1970 merger shared a field with MLB which made sense for finances at that time. Today am glad that is no longer the case.
@@madmanotl There was a season that all four NY teams shared Shea Stadium. Shea had natural grass but it had to be mostly ground down by mid September.
@@oneblankspace4919 for one and half seasons after yankee shut down. I think in 1975 they all used Shea. Yale lacks locker rooms. So they had to bus in already dressed.
Up until the early 90’s, the packers played 3home games per year at Milwaukee county Stadium. The football field fit so tightly in that baseball stadium that the corner of one end zone was right along the wall, and both teams had their benches on the same side of the field
When the San Diego Chargers moved & played in "Qualcomm Stadium" back in the late 60's, it was called San Diego Stadium then renamed to Jack Murphy Stadium. Also when the Patriots moved out of Fenway Park, their "new" stadium was called Schaefer Stadium & later renamed Foxboro Stadium. Gillette Stadium was built later.
Interesting, but there is no way Lambeau Field is one of the 10 weirdest stadiums. There are so many weird old stadiums from earlier days through the 60s that hosted NFL teams.
Surprisingly, Buffalo’s War Memorial Stadium was Not included. Also Before the Kansas City Chiefs moved into Arrowhead Stadium, both Teams Utilized the Same Sideline! Imagine the Chiefs / Oakland Raiders Rivalry pitting both teams on the Same Sideline!! YIKES!!
The Chargers moved to the stadium in Mission Valley. The stadium was used by the San Diego Padres and the Chargers. The stadium was designed to be used for both baseball AND football as well as other events and activities. AND it wasn't called The Q, Qualcomm to begin with. I wish you had told ALL of the story and correctly!!!
So many errors/inaccuracies - Th Oakland Mausoleum was one of the worst designed multi-use stadiums in North America. To have a baseball infield within the bounds of a football field (especially grass fields) was standard practice in multi-use buildings as far back as the 1930's as NFL teams that didn't have the use of a college field doubled up at MLB stadiums, in many cases within weeks of the end of the baseball schedule the 'skin' part of the infield was sodded over. The smaller seating capacities for AFL home fields worked well for the startup league with few 'sellouts'. The correct pronunciation of Portsmouth is - 'Portsmith'. Cleveland Stadium wasn't 'built' for baseball exclusively, as a taxpayer funded building the design had to accommodate many different events. Indians did not want to pay for the increased cost of 'openings' there unless there was a guarantee of crowds larger than the 22k capacity of League Park so they did not become full-time tenants until 1947. The Browns started AAFC play there in 1946, the stadium was only 15 years old then - not 'old' by the standards of that day. You also missed a significant artifact - the the modern goalpost in the baseball infield did not have the arched base at the crossbar, it was a straight pole that rose from the back of the pitchers mound.The grounds crew at Muni did not level the mound after the baseball season so the goalpost had to be amended. This is visible in the photo @ 3:07+. You omitted the fact that the SD Charger home field in 1960 was the LA Coliseum, The Polo Grounds was rebuilt in 1911 after fire destroyed the original wood grandstand - not 'renovated'. The Coogan's Bluff was never a site for polo matches, the name came from the field the Giants rented between 100th and 112th streets in Central Park before they moved uptown. The 'unique shape' came from the property lines of the 'Coogan's Meadows'. from 157th St. to the El/subway yards to the north where there were 2 ballparks, the northern half was Brotherhood Park, home of the Players League New York Giants. Side-by-side rectangular in shape, there were two ballparks with two different teams that shared the same name. When the Players League folded in 1891 the Giants took over the northern property and the land between the PG and 157th St. was never developed - only used for parking later. The Giants expanded the outfield stands in 1923 to compete with the Yankees, to accommodate football and boxing crowds that could be lost to The Stadium across the river. @ 4:46 you show a pix of the Jets first game at Shea, not the PG, 1964 was a year after the Mets left the PG too. It' NOT 'the MLB' - say it out loud - The Major League Baseball ?!? Doesn't make any sense. You didn't explain WHY the grass didn't grow in the 'Dome. Teams DIDN'T build indoor stadiums, politicians using taxpayer $$$'s did. You missed mentioning that Lambeau was originally called City Stadium when it opened in the mid 1950's, nothing strange about Green Bay having a team if just a little bit of background about the team's history was in the script. All this is easily found, as Casey Stengel said "...'ya could look it up..." - that's what's lacking, the effort to get it right.
The superdome is the last OG dome in the nfl. The silverdome, metrodome, kingdome, astrodome, RCA dome and Georgia dome have all either been imploded or abandoned
You missed the weirdest part about Oakland: Before Mount Davis, during baseball season, the football field would run from home plate to center field, to reduce the amount of work needed for conversions. After baseball season ended, the football field would be rotated 90 degrees, to run from 1st base to 3rd base and bleachers would be installed in the outfield. This lead to Raiders season ticket holders having two seat different assignments, depending on the field configuration, so they were always seated at about the same spot relative to the football field.
The Coliseum is a great place to watch baseball. It was even better before they constructed mount Davis. It had amazing views of the Oakland Hills. Even with Mount Davis it was a great baseball park. For football it was a garbage dump.
Don't forget Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota. Both teams were on the same sideline. You also forgot the Rock Pile in Buffalo. They filmed the movie The Natural with Robert Redford there.
Milwaukee was 2 hours closer to me than Green Bay when the speed limit was 55. It was a terrible place for football. Baseball and Football don't mix, people say the Jumbo screens are good but we can have a better and much cheaper time at home with a 75" TV in that case.
Not sure if anyone says this, but the San Diego Chargers played at the old Jack Murphy Stadium. That was a multi sport field. If you remember the Oakland Raiders and the Holy Roller play, that was during baseball season. What about the King Dome in Seattle ? That POS hosted the Mariners & Seahawks until it fell apart. I think Miami played on a multi sport field at one time. I guess you can say the LA Rams played with the Dodgers on the LA Colosseum before Dodger Stadium was built. I’m sure there are more.
went to lambeau about two weeks ago. such an awesome place, and i don’t think they’re gonna be moving their franchise ANYWHERE. stock holders won’t let them, plus a lot of tradition in that town. kinda what makes it one of a kind
The 'Polo Grounds' dimensions for baseball are NUTS!! I use it as my stadium when I create a team in MLB videogames cuz u can hit homers with only 258 yards to right or 279 to the left haha but an ABSURD 490 ft to center. So if u have a fast team just knock hits to left or right center and youll have a few 'inside the park' homers every game haha
You left out Anaheim/Angel Stadium, Jack Murphy/Qualcomm, & the LA Coliseum… out of all of these, the Coliseum should definitely be there! Hosted the Dodgers, Rams, & Chargers all in 1960!
When it opened Lambeau Field was the first NFL football only stadium built for an NFL team. All other NFL teams played in multi purpose, baseball or college stadiums. Now it's the oldest NFL only stadium. Solider Field, home of the Bears while older was orginaly a multi purpose stadium owned by Chicago. It's now an NFL only field.
Of all these stadiums that are “weird” you forgot Franklin Field and Shibe park in Philadelphia Griffith Stadium in Washington DC and Forbes Field in Pittsburg
Candlestick Park and Anaheim Stadium have to be in the top two. These two stadiums were built primarily with baseball in mind and owed to the odd placement of the football fields.
When pro football was still all about football and was a blue collar sport the players and fans did not need fancy stadiums and loud music blasting in your ears and all the political bullshit, it was about one thing winning especially at home. Lord I miss that time.
TCF Bank Stadium/Huntington Bank Stadium did hosted the Vikings for two seasons while their current stadium, US Bank Stadium was under construction and it hosted the coldest Vikings games including the 2015 playoffs.
A couple of things. One, you mentioned Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. It truly qualifies for a spot in this video. By, the way, its pronounced, "Keezar". Second, the Polo Grounds where football was played never hosted polo matches. The name is a remainder from the original Polo Grounds, which was built on an entirely different location in New York City. Thanks.
The New York Titans play at the Polo Grounds from 1960 to 1963. They changed their name to the Jets when they moved to Shea Stadium in 1964. BTW that's Shea Stadium 4:46 not the Polo Grounds. Nice video, interesting fact of the Bears playing at Chicago Stadium
I'm surprised you chose a number of baseball stadiums, but didn't mention the 1928 NFL Champion Providence Steamroller's home park. It was a cyclodrome. The Chicago Stadium game was a nice spot, though.
Missing quite a few. Cardinals: Comiskey Park I, Busch Stadium I/Sportsman's Park, Busch II St Louis Rams: Busch Stadium II Lions: Tiger Stadium Dodgers at LA Coliseum with Rams (and Chargers) Seahawks: Kingdome Dolphins: Marlins at Joe Robbie's Pro Player Field Redskins: Senators II at RFK Steelers: Three Rivers Bengals: Riverfront/Cinergy Eagles: Veterans' Stadium Falcons: Fulton County Stadium Packers: County Stadium Vikings: Metropolitan Stadium, Metrodome (US Bank Stadium has two baseball configurations available) LA Rams at Anaheim Stadium Broncos: Mile High Stadium with the AAA Denver Bears and early Colorado Rockies Balto. Colts: Memorial Stadium Jets: Shea Stadium
4:35 this picture is actually the Mariposa high school stadium, which I have been at many times to referee football games this past season I actually was at this field and they left the sprinklers on all night. The far side of field was all mud in a game. I look like a mud monster.
It wasn't really THAT unusual for the baseball and football teams to play in the same stadium. There wasn't a whole lot of overlap in their seasons (A little in Sept)(MAYBE Oct if the baseball gods smiled down on the local team). The Jets and Giants played in Shea and Yankee Stadium before moving to NJ. The Bears played at Wrigley. 9'ers played at CommercialStick. Even in LA, the Dodgers and Rams shared for a few years and even later those SAME Rams shared with the Orange County Angels of Anaheim. And there have been more over the years.
I agree. Los Angeles Mem. Coliseum had that weird setup when the Dodgers played there before moving into Dodgers Stadium. Another one that was sorta weird was War Mem. Stadium in Buffajo NY., where the Bill's first played. That too had baseball there as well.
The Chicgo Stadium game was a tiebreaker game. After that game, the playoffs were added. Also, the hash marks were moved farther away from the sidelines.
This video is incorrect. The Washington Redskins began playing at FedEx Stadium in 1997. You can be politically correct or you can be historically accurate, but you cannot be both.
Fun fact: they originally planned to use real grass in the astrodome and had it in until they actually started playing baseball in it? They had to change the ceiling because the light coming in was so bright they lost the balls. They even tried painting the balls different colors to no avail. Thus we got astroturf.
UCLA and Houston played at the Dome in 1968 in the game if the century. The court set out and second base with just a few chairs around it mostly bfor press. My parents were there. My dad said I have you ever watched a basketball game with binoculars?
I would've liked to have seen Angel Stadium on this list as well. Rams played there during the 70s, 80s and into the 90s before they moved to St. Louis.
Aside from the the overly laconic narration, there are a number of errors here. Municipal Stadium in Cleveland was not built originally for baseball but to attract the Olympics. The Polo Grounds did not host polo in that stadium. The Chargers moved into what was named Jack Murphy Stadium, which at the time had only a capacity of 52,000. The Packers played several games at County Stadium in Milwaukee until 1995. You also left out Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, which had both teams on one sideline. The Colts at Memorial Stadium. The Steelers at Forbes Field. The LA Coliseum. Wrigley Field had a nine-yard end zone.
The Chicago Stadium game takes the cake! Another oddity that wasn't mentioned...when the Chargers moved from SD to LA, they played in an MLS stadium (before SoFi Stadium was ready) which only held about 20,000 fans...unheard of in the modern day NFL.
If you think about it, for football, Fenway Park worked better for football than baseball. Yes it was smaller but they’re less obstructed seats for football than baseball
I was today years old when I learned that Astroturf gets it's name from the Houston Astrodome. We call it Astroturf here in the UK too, don't know how that caught on.
Edit: it's Aloha Stadium I can't remember where or what, but there is a stadium I think still in use that had moveable sections so that the seating could be rearranged for different sports. However at some point they decided the power and time and logistics it took to do all the moving was too much and they left them in football configuration permanently.
@@CNSPORTZEDITZ I just read the history of the 1932 Championship game I Chicago Stadium. The allowed the extra point but not a field. They got touchdown then got a safety later in the game
You need an introduction. A hook needs to be within the first 30 seconds to pull people in. Fantastic editing. I think that game clips would be cool too.
In 20 years I predict that due to the ever increasing cost of stadiums (and taxpayers getting tired of paying for multi-billion dollar stadiums for one sport) combined with the increase of efficiency of turf that the Multi-Purpose Stadium will rise again...
I actually remember the whole Oakland baseball ⚾ diamond-turned-turf debacle back in 2018 when JaMarcus Russell was playing. It was weird looking! But, otherwise kind of funny. 🤣😂 Great upload!

Correct, it wasn't made for polo. A true polo field is way bigger than any baseball or football field.
And the guy shows a photo of Shea Stadium hosting a game during the Polo Grounds sequence.

We never considered this weird when I was kid. Seeing the baseball diamond on a football field was always cool whenever my friends and I ever saw it.
Right. It was normal in so many of the NFL stadiums of the 50's, 60's.
When the Chicago Bears played at Wrigley Field, one corner of the endzone was cut off.
I remember my father told me stories of him being the ball boy at Lions games at Tiger Stadium in the 60s.
Yep, I remember watching the Thanksgiving Day games on TV from Tiger Stadium every year. I remember one in the late 60s was played in a snowstorm (I think maybe against the Vikings?). As a young kid living in Alabama I thought it was so cool watching football played in snow.
God, how I miss old Cleveland Stadium (erroneously, in its later years, still called "Municipal", it's original name, but when modell (refuse to capitalize his name) bought it as the Cleveland Stadium Corporation). Went there often during my high school years. The place had atmosphere. It was working class. Normal people could afford tickets. Everybody around you was an instant friend, rabid Browns rooters all. The Browns, in their all white home unis and the orange helmets (hate the all dark crap they wear at home now) seemed to jump out against the gray Northeast Ohio skies. Moved away after college. Made one trip back to a game in the 2000's. Hated it. I sat among some "wine & cheese" types, decked out in their Dry Fit golf polos, talking about everything but the game. Younger people were on their phones. I always said my Cleveland Browns fandom ended in '95. I still want them to win, but nothing is the same. You really can't go home again.
I'm the same way with Milwaukee County Stadium. New stadiums are all so corporate. No character.
NFL teams playing in baseball diamonds stadiums was the coolest, greatest and the best thing in sports history, it was very old school, it was inexpensive and it was fan friendly as well, now it is no more sharing stadiums!!
Hard to believe Metropolitan Stadium (The Old Met) in Bloomington MN (home of Vikings) didn't make this list. Only stadium in NFL (at least as of 1970) where both teams shared the same sideline.
Fr
That, and it was yet another odd "football field fit into a baseball diamond" kind of stadium.
The early years at least had movable stands that they could roll up and make it a somewhat decent football rectangle, but after later expanding the stadium they bolted down all the stands permanently - so that every seat in the stadium was _miles_ away from every sideline.
The giant field, freezing cold, and erector-set construction was the Met's calling cards.
Milwaukee County Stadium, hosting three home games a season for the Packers through 1994, had the same arrangement.
Old County Stadium in Milwaukee
I believe They shared the sideline at Tiger Stadium when then Lions played there as well.
Cleveland Municipal Stadium!! Absolutely loved everything about that place, seats actually situated behind structure poles, men's room trough overflowed on the floor, great times !
Nothing weird about the astrodome. The lower stands could move for a baseball diamond or football configuration.
Not gonna lie. Seeing baseball diamonds on NFL fields seemed weird, but cool to me. Made me wonder if it was actual dirt on the field or if the diamond was just uniquely painted in. Made me excited to see if a play would end on one of the bases or home plate and if the diamond was near or at the end zone
Dirt on the field in the old days.
Most of the 26 NFL teams from the 1970 merger shared a field with MLB which made sense for finances at that time. Today am glad that is no longer the case.
@@madmanotl There was a season that all four NY teams shared Shea Stadium. Shea had natural grass but it had to be mostly ground down by mid September.
@@oscarwinner2034 not quite ... the Football Giants played at the Yale Bowl.
@@oneblankspace4919 for one and half seasons after yankee shut down. I think in 1975 they all used Shea. Yale lacks locker rooms. So they had to bus in already dressed.
What’s worse than finding a dead rat in the press box? Finding a live rat in the press box.
Up until the early 90’s, the packers played 3home games per year at Milwaukee county Stadium. The football field fit so tightly in that baseball stadium that the corner of one end zone was right along the wall, and both teams had their benches on the same side of the field
When the San Diego Chargers moved & played in "Qualcomm Stadium" back in the late 60's, it was called San Diego Stadium then renamed to Jack Murphy Stadium. Also when the Patriots moved out of Fenway Park, their "new" stadium was called Schaefer Stadium & later renamed Foxboro Stadium. Gillette Stadium was built later.
Interesting, but there is no way Lambeau Field is one of the 10 weirdest stadiums. There are so many weird old stadiums from earlier days through the 60s that hosted NFL teams.
You're forgetting how weird Ike G is.
How about the Chargers temporary home in Carson, CA when they moved to LA?
Yeah....surprised that wasn''t mentioned. That place only held like 20,000...crazy for the modern day NFL.
Surprisingly, Buffalo’s War Memorial Stadium was Not included. Also Before the Kansas City Chiefs moved into Arrowhead Stadium, both Teams Utilized the Same Sideline! Imagine the Chiefs / Oakland Raiders Rivalry pitting both teams on the Same Sideline!! YIKES!!
The Chargers moved to the stadium in Mission Valley. The stadium was used by the San Diego Padres and the Chargers. The stadium was designed to be used for both baseball AND football as well as other events and activities. AND it wasn't called The Q, Qualcomm to begin with. I wish you had told ALL of the story and correctly!!!
So many errors/inaccuracies - Th Oakland Mausoleum was one of the worst designed multi-use stadiums in North America. To have a baseball infield
within the bounds of a football field (especially grass fields) was standard practice in multi-use buildings as far back as the 1930's as NFL teams that
didn't have the use of a college field doubled up at MLB stadiums, in many cases within weeks of the end of the baseball schedule the 'skin' part of the
infield was sodded over. The smaller seating capacities for AFL home fields worked well for the startup league with few 'sellouts'.
The correct pronunciation of Portsmouth is - 'Portsmith'.
Cleveland Stadium wasn't 'built' for baseball exclusively, as a taxpayer funded building the design had to accommodate many different events. Indians did not
want to pay for the increased cost of 'openings' there unless there was a guarantee of crowds larger than the 22k capacity of League Park so they did not
become full-time tenants until 1947. The Browns started AAFC play there in 1946, the stadium was only 15 years old then - not 'old' by the standards of that day.
You also missed a significant artifact - the the modern goalpost in the baseball infield did not have the arched base at the crossbar, it was a straight pole
that rose from the back of the pitchers mound.The grounds crew at Muni did not level the mound after the baseball season so the goalpost had to be amended.
This is visible in the photo @ 3:07+.
You omitted the fact that the SD Charger home field in 1960 was the LA Coliseum,
The Polo Grounds was rebuilt in 1911 after fire destroyed the original wood grandstand - not 'renovated'. The Coogan's Bluff was never a site for polo matches,
the name came from the field the Giants rented between 100th and 112th streets in Central Park before they moved uptown. The 'unique shape' came from the property lines
of the 'Coogan's Meadows'. from 157th St. to the El/subway yards to the north where there were 2 ballparks, the northern half was Brotherhood Park, home of the Players League
New York Giants. Side-by-side rectangular in shape, there were two ballparks with two different teams that shared the same name. When the Players League folded in 1891
the Giants took over the northern property and the land between the PG and 157th St. was never developed - only used for parking later.
The Giants expanded the outfield stands in 1923 to compete with the Yankees, to accommodate football and boxing crowds that could be lost to The Stadium across the river.
@ 4:46 you show a pix of the Jets first game at Shea, not the PG, 1964 was a year after the Mets left the PG too.
It' NOT 'the MLB' - say it out loud - The Major League Baseball ?!? Doesn't make any sense.
You didn't explain WHY the grass didn't grow in the 'Dome. Teams DIDN'T build indoor stadiums, politicians using taxpayer $$$'s did.
You missed mentioning that Lambeau was originally called City Stadium when it opened in the mid 1950's, nothing strange about Green Bay having a team if just a little
bit of background about the team's history was in the script.
All this is easily found, as Casey Stengel said "...'ya could look it up..." - that's what's lacking, the effort to get it right.
They tried grass at the Harris County Convention Center (Astrodome) the first year.
The superdome is the last OG dome in the nfl. The silverdome, metrodome, kingdome, astrodome, RCA dome and Georgia dome have all either been imploded or abandoned
*Very sad.* ☹️😔😞
Georgia Dome wasn't even that old.
You missed the weirdest part about Oakland: Before Mount Davis, during baseball season, the football field would run from home plate to center field, to reduce the amount of work needed for conversions. After baseball season ended, the football field would be rotated 90 degrees, to run from 1st base to 3rd base and bleachers would be installed in the outfield. This lead to Raiders season ticket holders having two seat different assignments, depending on the field configuration, so they were always seated at about the same spot relative to the football field.
The players tunnel for both teams was at midfield behind the Raiders bench.
The Coliseum is a great place to watch baseball. It was even better before they constructed mount Davis. It had amazing views of the Oakland Hills. Even with Mount Davis it was a great baseball park. For football it was a garbage dump.
and don't people hate the stadium now
Don't forget Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota. Both teams were on the same sideline. You also forgot the Rock Pile in Buffalo. They filmed the movie The Natural with Robert Redford there.
Milwaukee was 2 hours closer to me than Green Bay when the speed limit was 55.
It was a terrible place for football. Baseball and Football don't mix, people say the Jumbo screens are good but we can have a better and much cheaper time at home with a 75" TV in that case.
Not sure if anyone says this, but the San Diego Chargers played at the old Jack Murphy Stadium. That was a multi sport field. If you remember the Oakland Raiders and the Holy Roller play, that was during baseball season. What about the King Dome in Seattle ? That POS hosted the Mariners & Seahawks until it fell apart.
I think Miami played on a multi sport field at one time. I guess you can say the LA Rams played with the Dodgers on the LA Colosseum before Dodger Stadium was built. I’m sure there are more.
The Chargers played at Jack Murphy stadium for yrs!!
So that game in Chicago Stadium was also the first arena football game
Well yes but actually no. And. You are not wrong.
I never new about the bears playing inside Chicago stadium
Good info
went to lambeau about two weeks ago. such an awesome place, and i don’t think they’re gonna be moving their franchise ANYWHERE. stock holders won’t let them, plus a lot of tradition in that town. kinda what makes it one of a kind
stock holders are imaginary, they have no say whatsoever
The 'Polo Grounds' dimensions for baseball are NUTS!! I use it as my stadium when I create a team in MLB videogames cuz u can hit homers with only 258 yards to right or 279 to the left haha but an ABSURD 490 ft to center. So if u have a fast team just knock hits to left or right center and youll have a few 'inside the park' homers every game haha
You left out Anaheim/Angel Stadium, Jack Murphy/Qualcomm, & the LA Coliseum… out of all of these, the Coliseum should definitely be there! Hosted the Dodgers, Rams, & Chargers all in 1960!
When it opened Lambeau Field was the first NFL football only stadium built for an NFL team. All other NFL teams played in multi purpose, baseball or college stadiums. Now it's the oldest NFL only stadium. Solider Field, home of the Bears while older was orginaly a multi purpose stadium owned by Chicago. It's now an NFL only field.
There are tales of Prep Bowl games (Chicago Public League vs Chicago Catholic League football) that drew over 120,000 to Soldier Field.
Man. I miss candlestick. Seeing pictures of it makes me choke up man. Glad to be part of The Faithful
Of all these stadiums that are “weird” you forgot Franklin Field and Shibe park in Philadelphia Griffith Stadium in Washington DC and Forbes Field in Pittsburg
“Back when the Las Vegas Raiders were called the Oakland Raiders” all those many, many years ago. 😂
I miss the baseball infields for football games
You left off the old Met in Minneapolis. Open on both ends six different distinct seating areas from seats to wooden back seats to plain benches.
How War Memorial Stadium in Buffalo eluded this list is curious.
Those seat colors were crazy at the Redskin's stadium.
😢
Candlestick Park and Anaheim Stadium have to be in the top two. These two stadiums were built primarily with baseball in mind and owed to the odd placement of the football fields.
When pro football was still all about football and was a blue collar sport the players and fans did not need fancy stadiums and loud music blasting in your ears and all the political bullshit, it was about one thing winning especially at home. Lord I miss that time.
I walked away in 2020 and haven’t looked back.
TCF Bank Stadium/Huntington Bank Stadium did hosted the Vikings for two seasons while their current stadium, US Bank Stadium was under construction and it hosted the coldest Vikings games including the 2015 playoffs.
A couple of things. One, you mentioned Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. It truly qualifies for a spot in this video. By, the way, its pronounced, "Keezar". Second, the Polo Grounds where football was played never hosted polo matches. The name is a remainder from the original Polo Grounds, which was built on an entirely different location in New York City. Thanks.
Dirty Harry shot the Zodiac killer on the field at Kezar!
Having a multi-purpose stadium is not uncommon nor is it wierd.
You forgot Yankee Stadium, Angel Stadium, Shea Stadium, and The Stubhub Center aka Dignity Health Sports Field.
dignity health sports field that's a soccer venue
@@timelymirror7826Exactly! Which means it never should have been used as a temporary Stadium for the NFL's Chargers in the first place.
I saw an MLS game at Yankee Stadium because NYCFC doesn't have their own...
The New York Titans play at the Polo Grounds from 1960 to 1963. They changed their name to the Jets when they moved to Shea Stadium in 1964. BTW that's Shea Stadium 4:46 not the Polo Grounds. Nice video, interesting fact of the Bears playing at Chicago Stadium
I'm surprised you chose a number of baseball stadiums, but didn't mention the 1928 NFL Champion Providence Steamroller's home park. It was a cyclodrome. The Chicago Stadium game was a nice spot, though.
I'd only heard of the mixed use stadiums a few years ago. Thanks for the look at several of them.

4:35 this picture is actually the Mariposa high school stadium, which I have been at many times to referee football games this past season I actually was at this field and they left the sprinklers on all night. The far side of field was all mud in a game. I look like a mud monster.
I’m sending this to my youth football group because they will agree. Mariposa sucks.
4:49 is not the Polo Grounds, but Shea Stadium. Thanks for the cool video.
Bloomington Stadium was so unique that both teams stood on the same side.
I love the stick. I went to one of the last giants games there.
I'm surprised Shea Stadium isn't up there. The Mets used to play there, and so did the Jets.
They couldn’t kick field goals in that indoor game. How was the score 9 to 0?
The score was right. Extra points were allowed. The Bears score a touchdown 7 and they have a safety for 2 more points
5:33 Kezar Stadium is pronounced "key-tsar", not "khazar"
It wasn't really THAT unusual for the baseball and football teams to play in the same stadium. There wasn't a whole lot of overlap in their seasons (A little in Sept)(MAYBE Oct if the baseball gods smiled down on the local team). The Jets and Giants played in Shea and Yankee Stadium before moving to NJ. The Bears played at Wrigley. 9'ers played at CommercialStick. Even in LA, the Dodgers and Rams shared for a few years and even later those SAME Rams shared with the Orange County Angels of Anaheim. And there have been more over the years.
I agree. Los Angeles Mem. Coliseum had that weird setup when the Dodgers played there before moving into Dodgers Stadium. Another one that was sorta weird was War Mem. Stadium in Buffajo NY., where the Bill's first played. That too had baseball there as well.
Its really odd that the Bears waited until about 1971 before making Soldier Field their full time field since it was built in 1924.
Same with Navin Field/Briggs Stadium/Tiger Stadium. The Lions played there from 1938 thru 1974, following which they moved to the Pontiac Silverdome.
The Chicgo Stadium game was a tiebreaker game. After that game, the playoffs were added. Also, the hash marks were moved farther away from the sidelines.
I saw you flashed a picture of Shea Stadium while talking about the Polo Grounds. It would have been cool to have added it.
This video is incorrect. The Washington Redskins began playing at FedEx Stadium in 1997. You can be politically
correct or you can be historically accurate, but you cannot be both.
“The commanders have played at fed-ex field since 1967”
Um….no tf the haven’t 😂
I remember watching telecasts of Redskins games at RFK. And an old-timers baseball game in the early 1980s including a homerun from Luke Appling.
Every NFL fan should experience Lambeau at least once!
Old Fulton County Stadium was like that also.
Fun fact: they originally planned to use real grass in the astrodome and had it in until they actually started playing baseball in it? They had to change the ceiling because the light coming in was so bright they lost the balls. They even tried painting the balls different colors to no avail. Thus we got astroturf.
UCLA and Houston played at the Dome in 1968 in the game if the century. The court set out and second base with just a few chairs around it mostly bfor press. My parents were there. My dad said I have you ever watched a basketball game with binoculars?
0:45 Probably left over from Dave Kingman.
when Candlestick was knocked down it was like saying bye to an old friend
...so when DID the Giants stop playing there? At one point the video says 1969 then just a bit later it says 2000.
It was a miserable place to watch a game, on a hill near the bay. The wind in the cheap seats could be brutal.
@@JiveDadsonThe traffic leaving that place was one of the worst.
I would've liked to have seen Angel Stadium on this list as well. Rams played there during the 70s, 80s and into the 90s before they moved to St. Louis.
Aside from the the overly laconic narration, there are a number of errors here. Municipal Stadium in Cleveland was not built originally for baseball but to attract the Olympics. The Polo Grounds did not host polo in that stadium. The Chargers moved into what was named Jack Murphy Stadium, which at the time had only a capacity of 52,000. The Packers played several games at County Stadium in Milwaukee until 1995.
You also left out Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington, which had both teams on one sideline. The Colts at Memorial Stadium. The Steelers at Forbes Field. The LA Coliseum.
Wrigley Field had a nine-yard end zone.
What about the Old Joe Robbie Stadium, where the Miami Dolphins still play, BUT The Miami Marlins played there from its beginning in 1993 until 2012.
The Chicago Stadium game takes the cake! Another oddity that wasn't mentioned...when the Chargers moved from SD to LA, they played in an MLS stadium (before SoFi Stadium was ready) which only held about 20,000 fans...unheard of in the modern day NFL.
If you think about it, for football, Fenway Park worked better for football than baseball. Yes it was smaller but they’re less obstructed seats for football than baseball
Forgot the Cincinnati reds old stadium it’s was both for football and baseball
Veterans stadium in Philly & 3 rivers stadium in Pittsburgh both were multi purpose venues as well
and it marks the birthplace of cowboy actor Roy Rogers
This video could be called “mostly baseball stadiums that were used for football, and a hockey rink”
Candlestick park was so cool man, i've been there about 3 or 4 times and my parents were season ticket holders. i have the chairs in my backyard
Your whole San Francisco description is wrong. C’mon man.
I was today years old when I learned that Astroturf gets it's name from the Houston Astrodome. We call it Astroturf here in the UK too, don't know how that caught on.
Edit: it's Aloha Stadium
I can't remember where or what, but there is a stadium I think still in use that had moveable sections so that the seating could be rearranged for different sports. However at some point they decided the power and time and logistics it took to do all the moving was too much and they left them in football configuration permanently.
Wrigley Field in Chicago should be on this list
One end zone had about five feet of room between it and the brick wall
4:46 That is Shea Stadium, not the Polo Grounds.
2:47 who is that behind the players
A ghost 👻

Playing Football In A Baseball Field Was Weird...
You need an introduction. A hook needs to be within the first 30 seconds to pull people in. Fantastic editing. I think that game clips would be cool too.
In 20 years I predict that due to the ever increasing cost of stadiums (and taxpayers getting tired of paying for multi-billion dollar stadiums for one sport) combined with the increase of efficiency of turf that the Multi-Purpose Stadium will rise again...
I mean, hockey and basketball in the same stadium is likewise nothing new.
