    they levi stadium 49ers. this was not a mistake. they knew where the sun would shine. look at the fact that all of the luxury boxes are on one side of the stadium, the shade side. the cheaper seats are the ones that are exposed to the sun. no stadium has all the luxury boxes on one side. all they had to do was a site test setting up a camera to see where the sun sers.

      They also built the exact same stadium they wanted to build at the Candlestick site. That's another reason why the place resembles a fucking skillet.

      I do not understand how SF and San Jose do not have their own distinct football teams. There are cities that have multiple teams and less overall population. Whereas we have two completely different cities. And the football team from one, plays in the other. Bizarre.
      Edit: Also screw Lisa Gillmor. She needs to disappear from politics.

      That doesn't sound surprising. After all, NFL owners don't seem too worried about attendance numbers, anymore, especially since the blackout rule is gone, plus attendance only generates 15% of their revenue.

    Allegiant was supposed to have a clear roof made up of translucent ETFE panels. Mark Davis originally wanted a retractable roof, but the architects sold him on an ETFE roof that would give the “feeling” of an outdoor stadium while protecting from the elements (LV has extreme heat in the early fall all the way to potentially cold days in winter). Davis went with the plan. But during the aggressive time frame for the build, they tested different ETFE panels and discovered that the clear ETFE panels would create too much heat in the stadium. Therefore, they ended up using quite opaque ETFE panels that remind me of the old Teflon roofs we were used to seeing in the likes of the Pontiac Silverdome, the Carrier Dome, the Hoosier Dome and so on. I wonder if Mark Davis knew this was going to happen if he would have opted for the retractable roof.

    • @bigk8210
      @bigk8210 Рік тому +2

      A retractable would have cost hundreds of millions more as anything with moving parts has to be built stronger, has to have sturdier parts, requires more maintenance and requires a whole lot of power to open and close.

    As a 49ers fan, I’m pissed about how uninspired our stadium looks. I get what they were trying to do, but they just failed.. i don’t get how there’s not any way to renovate or reconstruct that unfinished stadium. or the least we can do is change the timing of our games to night game, cause that’s really when our stadium looks decent.

      Amen!!! The 5 time Super Bowl winners deserved a stadium that was far more beautiful, & inspiring than Levi's. But then I also believe that the team's stadium should be in SF also.

    One thing the Vikings should have done with U.S. Bank stadium, IMO, was make it with a retractable roof, and then in December, they could open it and force other teams to deal with the Minnesota winter. In the 70s, the Vikings had a home field advantage at Metropolitan Stadium because of the weather.
    Not sure if it was the owner not wanting to make fans uncomfortable with the weather, politicians not wanting it, or if it'd require expensive upkeep and maintenance because of the winters, but I feel like they missed an opportunity if it was an option.

    The new Comiskey Park not being orientet with centerfield to the northeast instead of the southeast as it is now was a big mistake back when it was designed in the late 1980s. For an even better view of downtown Chicago, it could have been oriented due north or even slightly northwest as long as the setting sun wouldn't be in the hitters' eyes during late afternoon and early evening games.

  • @TheOldTapeArchive

    The new Yankee Stadium's indoor club seating in center field created severely obstructed bleacher views on each side. A boneheaded error by stadium designers to pander to high dollar visitors sitting behind glass eating $50 steaks, at the expense of the peons in the bleachers. By 2016 the seats were removed and a standing patio terrace replaced those sections of seats. Though IMO, an even bigger blunder is the separated $500 box seat sections, which often sit empty during even playoff games, while the seat owners sit in private club suites...as well as corporate seats that go unused. Thus, no ability to move up closer later in the game...the surly security staff will see to that. The segregation between the caviar & the burger set is striking.

    • @djtrankilo231
      @djtrankilo231 Рік тому

      I don't think those were mistakes. There's a reason these sports teams cater more to season ticket holders and more importantly, those who buy these suites and private boxes. Any peon that attends these games, these teams will just be like, "Thanks for coming."

      New Yankee Stadium was just overall poorly designed. They took a cookie cutter small stadium design and tried to cram in extra seating and Yankee specific features such as monument park. They should have designed it from scratch since the Yanks are not a cookie cutter team.

    Sometimes a plan that looks good on paper just doesn't translate when it's actually built, particularly if new building techniques are tried. Montreal's Olympic Stadium ended up being so bad, the fans quit going to games, and the team fled for Washington.
