and i’m glad about it. For one, the interior of the capital one arena is not bad or ugly i don’t understand what this guy is talking about. for two, i want DC teams to be IN DC!!! tired of this effort to move teams out of the city. that’s not how it’s supposed to be
@@nicksapio2557 Completely agree. Just went to Capital One arena for my first time at the end of March, and I thought the arena was adequate. Most people can live in homes older than 30 years old. Not sure why sports venues need to be younger than 30 years old. Happy the Wizards Capitals and DC came to an agreement.
The NBA has held the All Star game in New Orleans 3 times in less than 10 years. The NBA could care less what the arena looks like aesthetically. The Superdome is 50 years old. New Orleans is a major tourist attraction. They don’t need new stadiums to attract major sports events.
He also fails to recognize that some venues have storied histories and are legendary valued community treasures. Do Chiefs fans really care about Wi-Fi at Arrowhead Stadium? Do Jazz fans sit at Jazz games thinking “I wish the Delta Center could fit a hockey rink inside of it?”
Do you research first? Cap One arena has an agreement for an 800 million dollar upgrade. 500 plus from the city and three hundred million plus from the team. This was announced and signed almost a month ago
The Frost bank center won't be demolished because the annual Rodeo uses it for concerts and Rodeo shows. You are correct about the Spurs looking at moving downtown to Hemisfair Park!
On the other hand, the rodeo could just return to its original home next door, Freeman Coliseum. It was built way back in 1949, but has been renovated with new seats.
@@gregsells8549 They still use Freeman Coliseum for the Rodeo to this day, along with The Frost Bank Center. They need both to house as many events as they have for those 2 weeks. Frost Bank Center won't be demolished for that reason, at least not anytime soon. It's still a valuable venue for the San Antonio Rodeo alone.
@@gregsells8549 the freeman is used for vendors and small rodeo events, they would still need the att center for concerts and actual stock show and rodeo events.
Wells Fargo just made a bunch of renovations. The Flyers are going nowhere. The Sixers want their own arena in downtown. The Flyers would not play there. There are plans to develop the Philly sports complex in south Philly with hotels, shops, and entertainment with Well Fago Center, Lincoln Financial Field, and Citizens Bank Park as the anchors.
I agree that's why it was silly for that Alexandria idea to had been a thing in the first place. Capital One Arena is in the perfect spot, it's not the best arena, but the spot is perfect for the Wizards and Capitals plus other entertainment events throughout the year.

Capitol One Arena itself is owned by Ted Leonsis, owner of the Wizards and Capitals. But the ground lease is owned by D.C. and is valid until 2047. They are obligated to play there until that date according to the DC government. The District has made a $500 million dollar offer to modernize the arena. If a new arena is built it likely would have to be inside the District.

@@Adam-tr6ty No, the rodeo will stay where it’s at, they have the perfect set up at the FBC/freeman coliseum area, plenty of room for parking, carnival, vendors, and all the livestock.
OKC already has had two arenas. The Cox Convention Center Arena (better known as the Myriad Arena) across the street from the Paycom Center was a 16,000 seat arena for 15+ years before a movie studio took over the building. It successfully hosted several Big 12 basketball tournament games for the women simultaneous to the men's tournament at the Paycom Center. It also hosted concerts and minor league hockey at the same time the Paycom Center was operating. Word is that the Cox Convention Center site is where the new arena will go.
Wells Fargo isnt going anywhere. The ownership of the flyers owns the arena as well. The sixers want their own arena for personal gain. Also they are building up the complex in the next few years with hotels and such
That's key for the Flyers is that the owner owns the building, so that means the Flyers will likely stay there and go ahead with the development plans around the arena than move in with the Sixers downtown. If the Flyers didn't own the building then I could see the Flyers moving downtown with the Sixers.
Why would the Sixers want to move? There is a whole sports district where Wells Fargo Center is. WWE was happy with it. They just hosted WrestleMania XL at Lincoln Financial Field. Then they hosted Smackdown, The Hall of Fame, Stand & Deliver and Raw at Wells Fargo across the street. With WF, LFF and the baseball stadium, there was ample parking for all events too.
Not only that, but maintaining the site as is provides Philadelphia's sports teams with perhaps the most advantageous long-long-term situation in the US when it comes to future stadium construction. No worries at all about land acquisition, traffic, transit access, or anything.
Sixers don’t own the arena, The Flyers do. If they leave, Wells Fargo isn’t going anywhere. So, it’s not like the Sixers benefit from what you just said. Sixers want their own stadium downtown, a basketball inclusive one. Start their new tradition and image.
If the team moves the hockey team can stay there but all the stadium need is probably just some extra TLC because that's a good Arena and just like we seen recently WrestleMania right across the street and then SmackDown and Raw at the arena they probably just going to do some Renovations that's all
I feel like the only reason why the Sixers would want to move is if they wanted their own arena instead of renting from the Flyers but Wells Fargo will definitely not be demolished
Wells Fargo Center ain’t going anywhere. Those renovations were pretty nice, and there’s no guarantee that the Flyers will move with the Sixers. They can’t call themselves the Broad Street Bullies if they aren’t on Broad Street anymore. And wasn’t it already confirmed that the Wizards and Caps are moving to a new arena they’ll be built in Alexandria, VA?
@@DragonDonut64 Yeah, Alexandria project is dead, Wizards/Caps will likely stay in DC.

The Flyers will likely stay there though since they own Wells Fargo Center. Sixers need their own building, so they're going to move downtown. It is a great sports complex down there in South Philly though.
Hmm.... When I lived in Portland, I went into the Moda Center quite a few times... I think it's a terrific arena! Great location, too... Right on the Metro train, close to downtown, great sightilnes inside the arena... I don't see anything wrong with the exterior that can't be fixed. What in the world makes you think it's a bad arena?
And still standing next to Moda Center is the Blazers' OG home, Memorial Coliseum, which is used for WHL hockey and the annual Rose Festival Parade (it was built with doors big enough for the floats to pass through).
This guy takes a shot at Portland in all of his videos. The Moda center is going through summer renovations, which started last year. Absolutely nothing wrong with the exterior, it doesn't look like a block like all the other arenas in this video.
The Allen family can pay for a new arena out of their own pockets. They don't need taxpayer funds. If you are more than rich enough to own 2 major sports Franchises, I think you are not going to bed hungry. Paul Allen was a good man and did wonderful charitable things. I can't speak on his sister because I don't know much about her. I am sure she wouldn't be holding a city hostage for unnecessary taxpayer funds in the name of greed for an arena. Because Paul wouldn't.
Even the Devon Tower, which is relatively new and taller than any previously existing building in OKC, stands out in the skyline. I can't imagine what this will look like yet.
Delta Center will be renovated, not rebuilt, per Jazz owner on April 20th. Delta Center, for anyone who’s been there, knows how loud it is. Plus the seating configuration makes it an intimidating atmosphere. It’s a tough place for opponents to play.
That's a big one, but MSG is pretty much a landmark at this point. It'll be hard to have those expansion plans for the train station actually go through. They could still build a new MSG somewhere else in Manhattan though. This is going to be a bigger issue as time goes on in the next few years.
San Antonio Rodeo committee says they're not leaving the area where the Frost Bank center is. So they will probably keep the building from being demolished. But Spurs are definitely moving back downtown
Update: they're keeping the Delta Center. They're going to renovate it in stages to better accommodate hockey. But the Jazz are gonna be there for the long haul
Delta Center isn’t bad on the inside. It wasn’t just seats. They redid the suites opened up other areas. I’d encourage you to go. It is terrible for hockey though.
The owners don't need somebody lobbying for new arenas for them dude. And the Wizards/Caps lease didn't end in 2027, it ended in 2045, at least it did until Ted Leonsis went back to DC hat in hand after the "Glen Dome" fell through.
The Potomac Yards area had 3 attempts to build a stadium or arena at that site. In the early 1990s Jack Kent Cooke tried to build a new Redskins Stadium there, in the Mid 90s it was where Northern Virginia was going to put an expansion team which Tampa Bay and Arizona got teams, their name was going to be the Virginia Fury and last Ted Leonsis tried to build an arena there and fortunately it didn’t happen.
In reality, there isn't anything wrong with any of these arenas. We go to these arenas to watch events, who really cares what they look like on the inside or out. As long as I can get in & out, and they have functioning rest rooms, I'm good.
Wells Fargo Center just got a $400 million upgrade… It’s owned by the Flyers, they aren’t moving anywhere..It’s not going anywhere. And what a terrible take, Wells Fargo is a fantastic arena.
Why would Ryan Smith demolish Delta Center? From what I’ve heard the new arena would just be for the hockey team, if I’m not mistaken @depressedginger.
Downtown new orleans ..the arena is literally next to the superdome ... smack dab in the middle nawlins Plus the ownership is leaving BOTH the saitns and pels basically as a gift to the city ...
Frost Bank Center imo is going nowhere considering that the annual San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo is one of it's main tenants, and will be the primary tenant once the Spurs leave for their downtown arena. Frost Bank Center will also still used for concerts and other events
"This building just received a $400 million interior and exterior renovation" Yea, the Wells Fargo Center isn't going anywhere any time soon as many others have alluded to. Some other points: 1. Comcast Spectacor owns the building and the Flyers. The Sixers are merely a guest. 2. Said Renovation 3. The sports complex has massive parking, is accessible via subway and bus, has an event center with bars and restaurants next door from the Wells Fargo Center. A guy who stresses location would like....know this. 4. This is the second largest arena in the country by square footage because of the office space incorporated in it. Its the headquarters for Spectra, and houses the Studio for NBC Sports Philadelphia, which it has since its opening. Let's make some educated reasons next time.
On the paycom center - the city of OKC is also just finishing up a 10k ish seat arena on another side of town and there is another 10k ish seat arena that is planned in Moore - a suburb of OKC. And the new Thunder arena will be right across the street from the current arena. There just isn’t a need at all
The arena OKC is building across town is at the Oklahoma state fairgrounds as a replacement for an older arena which is at the end of its useful life. It will be used mainly for horse shows, state high school basketball and wresting tournaments, and attractions during the Oklahoma State Fair. The old arena predated the Myriad by a few years and long hosted the National Finals Rodeo, as well as the All-College Basketball Tournament and the Stars and Stripes Show around July 4th. All of those eventually moved to the Myriad, and All-College ended its run at Paycom (nee Ford Center and Chesapeake Energy Arena) while the NFR went to Vegas.
From what I've heard, the University of Oklahoma has been talking about building a replacement arena for the Lloyd Noble Center. I don't know if that's the arena planned in Moore, which is the next town north of Norman.
@@boogitybear2283 And the Jazz began in New Orleans. When the team moved, some writer suggested the Utah Chorale would be a more appropriate name. The Jazz split their first season or two between the now-demolished Loyola Fieldhouse and Municipal Auditorium which has been abandoned since Hurricane Katrina, before moving to the Superdome when it opened. Then they went to the now-demolished Salt Palace.
@@OfficerPolynice There is no chance it's going to happen but the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies names make no sense. Swapping them would fix that problem.
The Delta Center just got a huge renovation on all of the concourses, seating bowl, scoreboard, club spaces, and entrances. It's not being demolished anytime soon.
Hilarious ironic how the 1st arena showed in this video is the wells fargo center in philadelphia, pa & the philadelphia 76ers just got elimintated from the nba playoffs by the new york knicks there last night 😮😮😅😅😂😂!!
Yeah, that's a possible too and something we'll hear more about as the Redskins try to get a new stadium built soon. They might be able to build a new arena on that campus. Honestly though Capital One Arena is at the perfect spot though, very easy to get to for most people.
What they could do is a temporary relocation and do what Minnesota did knock down the arena and build it from the ground up therefore the RFK site can be used for a new football stadium for the Commanders or if that land is big enough maybe both teams can go there
I was thinking the same thing. Move majority of the games to the Superdome; if there's conflict ala Saints games or any other events, move to the UNO Lakefront Arena. Kinda like what the Hawks did when the now State Farm Arena was being built.
Moda centre isn’t getting demolished. It’s getting renovated this summer. Rumour was that Phil knight is trying to build an area for the Portland Trail Blazers. At the moment he’s trying to buy the Blazers.
@@ctownaqib there’s speculation that she’s waiting for the new TV deal and then she’ll sell the team. Another thing might be she has another 4 years because Paul Allen past away in 2018 so she can sell the team in 2028. Another rumour might be true she doesn’t have to sell the franchise in 10 years and she could hold the franchise another 10 years.
Utah also wants to host the Winter Olympics again and they certainly will need a new arena to host. They will probably keep the Delta Center for the Olympics so they can host all of the events without being overly stretched.
Delta Center probably will be longer than five or six years. Salt Lake City is gunning for the 2034 Olympics, so it could be like what Atlanta had in `96, where Fulton County Stadium existed until `96 and was around at the same time as Turner Field for the Olympics, before getting knocked down after the Games.
Wells Fargo not going no where they just got an exterior light renovation done during mania weekend . ‘The sixers might leave but the arena not going no where
Be careful before you demolish an Arena. Believe it or not Oracle Arena in Oakland, where the Warriors used to play is more profitable now than it was when the Warriors were there. Why? Because the city filled those dates with concerts, comedy show, Disney on ice, rodeo shows, etc. and they get to keep all the money. I’ve attended a number of concerts there since the Warriors left.
Wow. you didn't say anything about the 34 year old Target Center in Minneapolis? the 2nd oldest arena in NBA? it will be 45 years old when lease ends in 2035.
A lot of these arenas are fairly new they were built 20 something years ago nothing really wrong with them. Why do you need a new arena every 20 years cost tax payers tons of money ridiculous.
I don’t think Frost Bank is going anywhere. It will be used for the rodeo. The rodeo can’t move to the new arena. It would defeat the purpose of building a new arena.
You couldn’t be more wrong about the Delta Center. It’s the best arena in the NBA for an actual basketball watching experience and has been the biggest home court advantage in the NBA for 30 years. No one in SLC wants it demolished. Truthfully no one even wants a hockey team.
That doesn't matter when it comes to building arenas, business takes precedence over an experience. Most arenas are not going to be around forever. Utah can still get the same experience in a new building. There's nothing wrong with the building itself, but the hockey team will bring in a lot of money to the city and more money to the Jazz. You a lie about the interest in the new hockey team. People in Utah are stoked about it. Plus Salt Lake is trying to get the Winter Olympics back in 2032, so they need a new building for that anyways.
@@retrowarehouse2554 The Delta Center was built by the Jazz’s previous owner with his own money. It was entirely 100% built for basketball. It wasn’t built for concerts. It wasn’t built for hockey. It’s more like a college basketball arena that seats 19,000. The experience will absolutely not be the same in some giant arena built for hockey, too. And if the voters in SLC had a voting referendum on a new arena for a hockey team - which they did not - it would 100% fail. I would be surprised if it even got 35% votes in favor. The huge tax increase only affects the people in SLC. So who cares if people outside the city are excited for it. They are not on the hook for almost a billion dollars.
@@OfficerPolynice That's why they're building a new arena because they need to be able to fit a hockey rink into it plus this was likely going to happen anyways without a new NHL team since the city is trying to get the Winter Olympics back in town for the 2032 or 2036 games. SLC was going to be on the hook for a new or the Olympics, so there was no escaping that tax bill. The good thing about sports that money is always put back into the city. Cities are always better off with major pro sports teams than without. Utah has enough money to support an MLB team and that's coming too, so get ready for that as SLC is not going to be just a Jazz town anymore.
There is absolutely zero chance the moda center gets demolished. Zero none nada. Hell Memorial Coliseum still stands literally a stones throw away. The Blazers will move to Seattle before they build a new arena
There building it for Oklahoma! A 1907 ft skyscraper year in which Oklahoma was founded 1907. It has nothing to do with other cities or states its not a decision in which city or state to build it in. Other cities can follow suit if they want and build there own.
Yea you didnt do your research.. Wells Fargo is going absolutely nowhere. Its essentially a brand new arena with the renovation. Not coming down anytime soon And the Smoothie King center is downtown... NOLA isn't very big lol. Man this video showed you don't look into things before speaking on them
The Spurs are going to get a new arena in downtown San Antonio in the future, but the Frost Bank Center imo is going nowhere. The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo will be it's primary tenant when the Spurs move downtown, and concerts can still be held at Frost Bank

If you are more than rich enough to own 2 major sports Franchises, I think you are not going to bed hungry. Paul Allen was a good man and did wonderful charitable things. I can't speak on his sister because I don't know much about her. I am sure she wouldn't be holding a city hostage for unnecessary taxpayer funds in the name of greed for an arena. Because Paul wouldn't.
I think the Moda Center is a nice arena and has aged quite well... I couldn't see how the Blazers leave that arena...
Oklahoma City is the most random place to build the biggest skyscraper is the US
Even the Devon Tower, which is relatively new and taller than any previously existing building in OKC, stands out in the skyline. I can't imagine what this will look like yet.
@@aaronholcomb237 You’d think they’d be building these in New York or Chicago, but Oklahoma City is where they choose to build these
@@Sports_fan_idk Less regulation and a lot cheaper to build in OKC than in any of those other cities
"Build me a new arena every 20 years". Most billionaire sports owners, probably.
That's because the economy changes so rapidly that you have to keep up with it in order to keep the value of the franchises up.
Delta Center will be renovated, not rebuilt, per Jazz owner on April 20th. Delta Center, for anyone who’s been there, knows how loud it is. Plus the seating configuration makes it an intimidating atmosphere. It’s a tough place for opponents to play.
How about MSG? It may not be long for the world because of expansion plans for the train station underneath it.
That's a big one, but MSG is pretty much a landmark at this point. It'll be hard to have those expansion plans for the train station actually go through. They could still build a new MSG somewhere else in Manhattan though. This is going to be a bigger issue as time goes on in the next few years.
@@retrowarehouse2554 Only other location I could think of in Manhattan they could build a new MSG is maybe Hudson Yards.
San Antonio Rodeo committee says they're not leaving the area where the Frost Bank center is. So they will probably keep the building from being demolished. But Spurs are definitely moving back downtown
Update: they're keeping the Delta Center. They're going to renovate it in stages to better accommodate hockey. But the Jazz are gonna be there for the long haul
Delta Center isn’t bad on the inside. It wasn’t just seats. They redid the suites opened up other areas. I’d encourage you to go. It is terrible for hockey though.
The owners don't need somebody lobbying for new arenas for them dude. And the Wizards/Caps lease didn't end in 2027, it ended in 2045, at least it did until Ted Leonsis went back to DC hat in hand after the "Glen Dome" fell through.
Where do you think the smoothie king center is? Have you even been to New Orleans??
agree with those who say Cap One is quite adquate. I love the subway access. subway is built into building.
The Potomac Yards area had 3 attempts to build a stadium or arena at that site. In the early 1990s Jack Kent Cooke tried to build a new Redskins Stadium there, in the Mid 90s it was where Northern Virginia was going to put an expansion team which Tampa Bay and Arizona got teams, their name was going to be the Virginia Fury and last Ted Leonsis tried to build an arena there and fortunately it didn’t happen.
In reality, there isn't anything wrong with any of these arenas. We go to these arenas to watch events, who really cares what they look like on the inside or out. As long as I can get in & out, and they have functioning rest rooms, I'm good.
As a guy who works for Ryan Smith at the Delta Center, it’s not being demolished any time soon. Not at all actually.
Wells Fargo Center just got a $400 million upgrade… It’s owned by the Flyers, they aren’t moving anywhere..It’s not going anywhere. And what a terrible take, Wells Fargo is a fantastic arena.
where would the pelicans even put a new arena
Probably Metairie or Kenner
Nope. The Frost Center is actually owned by Bexar County (where San Antonio is located). So the Rodeo and the Spurs are actually tenants.
Why would Ryan Smith demolish Delta Center? From what I’ve heard the new arena would just be for the hockey team, if I’m not mistaken @depressedginger.
A perfect location of the Spurs new arena is west of the convention center and south of Market Street. Right next to the riverwalk.
Downtown new orleans ..the arena is literally next to the superdome ... smack dab in the middle nawlins
Plus the ownership is leaving BOTH the saitns and pels basically as a gift to the city ...
At least 8 years for the Frost Bank Center. That’s how long the lease runs for extension for the last upgrades, 2032.
Frost Bank Center imo is going nowhere considering that the annual San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo is one of it's main tenants, and will be the primary tenant once the Spurs leave for their downtown arena. Frost Bank Center will also still used for concerts and other events
Demolished?.. unless it is falling apart will stay up. A building owned by a city that can host conventions and concerts is always valuable.
Rodeo in SA is a major 2nd Tennant in the Spurs building. It will stay up as a major part of Fair Grounds concert venue
"This building just received a $400 million interior and exterior renovation"
Yea, the Wells Fargo Center isn't going anywhere any time soon as many others have alluded to.
Some other points:
1. Comcast Spectacor owns the building and the Flyers. The Sixers are merely a guest.
2. Said Renovation
3. The sports complex has massive parking, is accessible via subway and bus, has an event center with bars and restaurants next door from the Wells Fargo Center. A guy who stresses location would like....know this.
4. This is the second largest arena in the country by square footage because of the office space incorporated in it. Its the headquarters for Spectra, and houses the Studio for NBC Sports Philadelphia, which it has since its opening.
Let's make some educated reasons next time.
On the paycom center - the city of OKC is also just finishing up a 10k ish seat arena on another side of town and there is another 10k ish seat arena that is planned in Moore - a suburb of OKC. And the new Thunder arena will be right across the street from the current arena.
There just isn’t a need at all
The arena OKC is building across town is at the Oklahoma state fairgrounds as a replacement for an older arena which is at the end of its useful life. It will be used mainly for horse shows, state high school basketball and wresting tournaments, and attractions during the Oklahoma State Fair. The old arena predated the Myriad by a few years and long hosted the National Finals Rodeo, as well as the All-College Basketball Tournament and the Stars and Stripes Show around July 4th. All of those eventually moved to the Myriad, and All-College ended its run at Paycom (nee Ford Center and Chesapeake Energy Arena) while the NFR went to Vegas.
From what I've heard, the University of Oklahoma has been talking about building a replacement arena for the Lloyd Noble Center. I don't know if that's the arena planned in Moore, which is the next town north of Norman.
@@aaronholcomb237 come back to this in 6 months. I might know a thing or two
Coud Utah and Memphis swap names? Then we could have the Utah Grizzles and the Memphis Jazz makes far more sense.
New Orleans Jazz. Memphis is known for Blues Music not Jazz. Jazz is definitely in New Orleans.
@@boogitybear2283 And the Jazz began in New Orleans. When the team moved, some writer suggested the Utah Chorale would be a more appropriate name. The Jazz split their first season or two between the now-demolished Loyola Fieldhouse and Municipal Auditorium which has been abandoned since Hurricane Katrina, before moving to the Superdome when it opened. Then they went to the now-demolished Salt Palace.
Yes. After almost 50 years in Utah, let’s change the name of one of the most winning franchises in NBA history. Great idea.
@@OfficerPolynice There is no chance it's going to happen but the Utah Jazz and Memphis Grizzlies names make no sense. Swapping them would fix that problem.
The Moda center looks cool because it is a cricle and most arenas are not cricles
The Delta Center just got a huge renovation on all of the concourses, seating bowl, scoreboard, club spaces, and entrances. It's not being demolished anytime soon.
Hilarious ironic how the 1st arena showed in this video is the wells fargo center in philadelphia, pa & the philadelphia 76ers just got elimintated from the nba playoffs by the new york knicks there last night 😮😮😅😅😂😂!!
oh great , another slideshow with google images hosted by a 16 year old
The Flyers own Wells Fargo Center. They are not leaving to pay the 76ers rent.
Oklahoma City is not going to tear down paycom arena. Going to be used for concerts and smaller events
“Just build a new arena” 😂
6:12 RFK Stadium site?
Yeah, that's a possible too and something we'll hear more about as the Redskins try to get a new stadium built soon. They might be able to build a new arena on that campus. Honestly though Capital One Arena is at the perfect spot though, very easy to get to for most people.
What they could do is a temporary relocation and do what Minnesota did knock down the arena and build it from the ground up therefore the RFK site can be used for a new football stadium for the Commanders or if that land is big enough maybe both teams can go there
What in the heck is the NBA doing in New Orleans?
Lots of blacks there
i dont think you can say that, but i laughed a liitle
you can say the same thing about a lot of cities that have pro sports teams
@chrisparra8388 Yes, Memphis, Tn, Jacksonville, FL, and Louisville, KY for even thinking they're an NBA city.
Smoothie king center is already downtown(yes technically the central business district). Any new arena would be built in the spot it’s in now
I was thinking the same thing. Move majority of the games to the Superdome; if there's conflict ala Saints games or any other events, move to the UNO Lakefront Arena. Kinda like what the Hawks did when the now State Farm Arena was being built.
Spurs just renovated Frost Bank it’s actually pretty nice.
The Pelicans have signed an arena lease extension until 2030. (or going to real soon) Dude, do some research!!
Where the hell are you getting your resources from?
Moda centre isn’t getting demolished. It’s getting renovated this summer. Rumour was that Phil knight is trying to build an area for the Portland Trail Blazers. At the moment he’s trying to buy the Blazers.
Something to keep an eye on 👁️
He's made offers. Jody Allen is taking her time selling.
@@ctownaqib there’s speculation that she’s waiting for the new TV deal and then she’ll sell the team. Another thing might be she has another 4 years because Paul Allen past away in 2018 so she can sell the team in 2028. Another rumour might be true she doesn’t have to sell the franchise in 10 years and she could hold the franchise another 10 years.
Utah also wants to host the Winter Olympics again and they certainly will need a new arena to host. They will probably keep the Delta Center for the Olympics so they can host all of the events without being overly stretched.
The Spurs Arena or AT&T Center looks like it was designed by someone who looked at the Fabela zinc roof panels and loving it.
*Frost Bank Center
Delta Center probably will be longer than five or six years. Salt Lake City is gunning for the 2034 Olympics, so it could be like what Atlanta had in `96, where Fulton County Stadium existed until `96 and was around at the same time as Turner Field for the Olympics, before getting knocked down after the Games.
Wells Fargo not going no where they just got an exterior light renovation done during mania weekend . ‘The sixers might leave but the arena not going no where
Be careful before you demolish an Arena. Believe it or not Oracle Arena in Oakland, where the Warriors used to play is more profitable now than it was when the Warriors were there. Why? Because the city filled those dates with concerts, comedy show, Disney on ice, rodeo shows, etc. and they get to keep all the money. I’ve attended a number of concerts there since the Warriors left.
Wow. you didn't say anything about the 34 year old Target Center in Minneapolis? the 2nd oldest arena in NBA? it will be 45 years old when lease ends in 2035.
He should probably add that this is 100% speculation and opinion.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention Target Center
Again, Benson already said she will focus on a new arena in New Orleans after the Superdome major renovations are complete which is this summer.
No arena less than 40 years old needs to be replaced
“Putting lip stick on a pig” hahahahaha
SLC in the mix for the Winter Olympics 2032
SA arena stays up...they cant move rodeo back into 10,000 seat arena--freeman coliseum from a 18,000 seat one.
Wells Fargo isn’t going anywhere. The Flyers own the arena.
A lot of these arenas are fairly new they were built 20 something years ago nothing really wrong with them. Why do you need a new arena every 20 years cost tax payers tons of money ridiculous.
I still don't get why the Delta Center is in Utah instead of Atlanta
Delta has a major west coast hub in Salt Lake City because of a merger with Western Airlines in the 80s
@@jfbryant4300 i know
Wells Fargo is not going anywhere anytime soon
Utah should have been had an NHL team
Easy said than done.
I don’t think Frost Bank is going anywhere. It will be used for the rodeo. The rodeo can’t move to the new arena. It would defeat the purpose of building a new arena.
Concerts can still be held at Frost Bank Center too
@@jasonmartinez5116 Yes, if the new arena is unavailable.
Imagine Portland moving to Seattle 😆
I hate the modern era so much
This guy throw sh!t up against the wall and sees what sticks
Overpriced ticket/merchandise money hard at work here got it….
Frost Bank Center isn’t even owned by the Spurs. It’s owned by the Rodeo that takes place there.
Actually it's owned by Bexar County, along with Freeman Coliseum (formerly Bexar County Coliseum) and the neighboring exhibit halls.
@@gregsells8549 oh. I was always told otherwise. Thx a lot. Interesting.
@@VanNuck yea dont assume, the city paid for it with heavy tax dollars on tourism
Frost bank will not be demolished because the stockshow and rodeo will take over
Is anyone else loosing brain cell's 🧠 listening to this?
You couldn’t be more wrong about the Delta Center. It’s the best arena in the NBA for an actual basketball watching experience and has been the biggest home court advantage in the NBA for 30 years. No one in SLC wants it demolished. Truthfully no one even wants a hockey team.
That doesn't matter when it comes to building arenas, business takes precedence over an experience. Most arenas are not going to be around forever. Utah can still get the same experience in a new building. There's nothing wrong with the building itself, but the hockey team will bring in a lot of money to the city and more money to the Jazz. You a lie about the interest in the new hockey team. People in Utah are stoked about it. Plus Salt Lake is trying to get the Winter Olympics back in 2032, so they need a new building for that anyways.
@@retrowarehouse2554 The Delta Center was built by the Jazz’s previous owner with his own money. It was entirely 100% built for basketball. It wasn’t built for concerts. It wasn’t built for hockey. It’s more like a college basketball arena that seats 19,000. The experience will absolutely not be the same in some giant arena built for hockey, too. And if the voters in SLC had a voting referendum on a new arena for a hockey team - which they did not - it would 100% fail. I would be surprised if it even got 35% votes in favor. The huge tax increase only affects the people in SLC. So who cares if people outside the city are excited for it. They are not on the hook for almost a billion dollars.
@@OfficerPolynice That's why they're building a new arena because they need to be able to fit a hockey rink into it plus this was likely going to happen anyways without a new NHL team since the city is trying to get the Winter Olympics back in town for the 2032 or 2036 games. SLC was going to be on the hook for a new or the Olympics, so there was no escaping that tax bill. The good thing about sports that money is always put back into the city. Cities are always better off with major pro sports teams than without. Utah has enough money to support an MLB team and that's coming too, so get ready for that as SLC is not going to be just a Jazz town anymore.
There is absolutely zero chance the moda center gets demolished. Zero none nada. Hell Memorial Coliseum still stands literally a stones throw away. The Blazers will move to Seattle before they build a new arena
They are classic why demolished
spurs need a new arena all ready?
So your logic is “because it doesn’t look good” in needs to be torn down. What? Lmao
The biggest skyscraper in Oklahoma is gonna be a waste. 👎🏾👎🏾
There building it for Oklahoma! A 1907 ft skyscraper year in which Oklahoma was founded 1907. It has nothing to do with other cities or states its not a decision in which city or state to build it in. Other cities can follow suit if they want and build there own.
They are not constructing the tallest builhding in the U.S,
Yea you didnt do your research.. Wells Fargo is going absolutely nowhere. Its essentially a brand new arena with the renovation. Not coming down anytime soon
And the Smoothie King center is downtown... NOLA isn't very big lol. Man this video showed you don't look into things before speaking on them
Arena spurs its no old why demolished
The Spurs are going to get a new arena in downtown San Antonio in the future, but the Frost Bank Center imo is going nowhere. The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo will be it's primary tenant when the Spurs move downtown, and concerts can still be held at Frost Bank
@@jasonmartinez5116 yes but why left thiss arena so fast they play 20 years
