Why do the Steelers need to renovate their stadium? It's not like Steeler fans are going to go to another city to watch football just because the stadium there has a fancy scoreboard.
Because current Steeler's fans may become Brown's fans or Bengal's fans if they don't upgrade Hienz Field. (kidding, I'm well aware Pittsburghers would rather die than do that.)
The average fan doesn't give a rip about club seats, suites, shiny scoreboards or "enhancing the fan experience" (whatever that even means). I'm there to see a game, that's all.
the Las Vegas Ballpark where the AAA team the A’s affiliate plays at, they could use that field / ballpark to host lots of fall & Winter select league tournaments. Also low level college games & HS baseball too in the late winter & spring time.
The land's prime enough for redevelopment anyway. Shame to demolish a state-of-the-art AAA-level minor league ballpark, but once a MLB-level facility, intended to house the A's, gets built, Las Vegas Ballpark no longer has a function. It's not near UNLV to be repurposed as a dedicated ballpark for them and too large for even a Division I college baseball program. The area has plenty of other economic activity that even the cost of demolition (probably a lot of useful equipment that can be salvaged) won't pose too much of a cost burden.
AMEN! Nobody needs all the glitz and glamour of these new, overpriced stadiums. They are talking billions of dollars to entertain those who go with everything except what is happening on the field. Just sit down. Have a beer and a hotdog, watch the game on the field, not on a video board, and go home.

Las Vegans will continue to support the Aviators and you'll see that local attendance at Las Vegas Ballpark will be higher than at the new strip ballpark. It gets hot at LV Ballpark but it's a higher elevation and once the Sun goes down, it's fine. Locals do not go to the strip except for work or when friends are in town. Sure, most locals will, at some point during the first 2 seasons, check out a game at the strip stadium but with the rare exception of events, free tickets or similar, locals will not travel to the strip for a team they don't want and to spend quadruple the money to get less than they do at their beloved Aviators home. The A's primary attendance will come from tourists and when locals attend a concert or event. Las Vegas Ballpark will not become obsolete.
I agree with most. But I disagree with Miami because if i'm not mistaken the stadium will be used or is going to be used by some colleges for football, and high schools in the area. Honestly if a female soccer team starts playing in Miami it would be an ideal venue. Chase field in Arizona gets massive use for the WBC and also the spring leagues. Arizona and Miami have a lot of stadiums for use in the spring pre season and this is one of the few stadiums that gets used. So there is already plenty of use for the stadium outside of the Diamondbacks. And finally las Vegas new Athletics stadium. There is already a AAA stadium in las vegas (also mind you very very pretty) that is outdoors. So the fact that the new stadium is being built in Las Vegas isn't something new. However, it should probably get limited use during peak summer hours due to the weather. It should be indoors similar to the Diamondback Stadium, and i know the renders have it as outdoors, but we'll see.
While half of MLB holds spring training in the Phoenix area, not even the Diamondbacks use Chase Field except for a couple games before the regular season begins
The new A's stadium in Las Vegas is far from a done deal. There is a lot of local opposition to the amount of public money the proposal involves. The A's decided to move over to Sacramento's AAA park for the interim for a reason.
Sacramento sounds like a better location for the A’s than Vegas. A couple of hours away from Oakland and more than likely already have an established fanbase in the city. The AAA team could move to a new smaller stadium in Oakland, so baseball can still be played there.
@@Cyber_kumo Old timers like me remember when the Oakland A's were a dynasty, the most dominant team in baseball. They won 3 consecutive World Series when I was in high school. Joe Rudi was from my hometown; his younger brother was my classmate. I used to ditch class and drive to Oakland with my buddies to watch the A's in ALCS games. They were dominant again in the late '80s to early '90s, but only won one World Series. The man who owned the A's during those dynasty years - Charles Finley - was as a big of a douchebag as the current owner, John Fisher, but in a different way. I just happened to live in Sacramento now, retired. I believe Fisher chose Sacramento as an alternative if the Vegas stadium falls through because there is a fan base baked (virtually) in. The Sacramento River Cats were the AAA team for the A's until a few years ago.
I wonder how hard the Angels can push for a new stadium. They have their fans for sure, but if they push too hard I think they'll find out that most of the people in Anaheim are Dodgers' fans anyway.
The Angels management owns the ballpark, not the ground under it, so if they want a new ballpark they need to build a better team and get in the post-season regularly if they want to draw more customers. They need to get some star players and keep them around so they get comfortable working together as a team. The current ballpark is fine as is, its not deteriorating that I can see when I'm in it. They implemented a 'cashless' policy for purchases (merch, snacks, etc) which I'm not happy about.

The Aviators are the A's minor league team. Houston and Minneapolis have their AAA teams in the same metropolitan area as the parent team.

Right on point re: Angels Stadium. I just went there and was honestly pretty shocked with how bare-bones it is. Very small concourses; limited food and entertainment options, and absolutely nothing around the stadium whatsoever. Almost feels like a AAA stadium at times.

Chase Stadium was built for $60 million, which is rather low when compared to other MLS-specific stadiums built in the last decade. When Miami Freedom Park opens, Chase Stadium will continue to serve as the home for Inter Miami's reserve team with a reduced capacity.
Buffalo recognizes that the market is not large enough to host a SB. Not enough “prime” hotel rooms, and this includes Niagara Falls, ON. A small convention center. I could see a true neutral site game in Toronto first.
Gillette Stadium is not an ideal location to host a Super Bowl, even if it had a roof. Boston is 30 miles away, as is Providence, another secondary city. There’s not enough nearby hotels to accommodate an event like this.
Please understand that I'm not giving this a high probability of occurring...but...

"Obsolete" is very, very subjective. Owners of pro sports teams will always want their teams to play in the most updated venues possible. On the other side that equation are the cities that get saddled with the costs of those updated venues.
Time for cities to stand up to this blackmail. Paul Allen (co founder of Microsoft) was the 2nd richest man in the US when he forced the city of Seattle to build his team a new stadium. Pay for it yourself- billionaire owners
That's what Los Angeles did with the NFL;"you want a team in this market, you're welcome to come and build a stadium to go with the team, or lease our existing venue (the L.A. Colosseum)." The Rams are doing quite well with their So-Fi Stadium and all the concerts and other events it hosts as well as being home for the Rams and Chargers.
5:39 The highest average attendance of MLB games this year goes to the dodgers, which is 47,762. I highly doubt that the Diamondbacks will need a bigger stadium when it spends most of the year being half full for games, and they’ve been hosting a college football bowl game annually since 2016. They can expand to fit more seats if needed, but the diamondbacks average roughly 20,000 per game, so it would really just be a waste of money for them to go much bigger. The MLB doesn’t even attract the same kind of attendance that NFL and NBA teams can garner, therefore you can kind of get away with having an older, out of date ball park, hence dodger stadium, wrigley field, even Fenway, which actually has a smaller capacity than chase field
And Dodger Stadium is a PITA to get to and get away from in its location just north of downtown Los Angeles proper. Traffic is horrible on the roads and freeway around it, too. I haven't been there in years and don't plan on going there anytime soon.
the Concourses inside Angel Stadium is smaller & narrow. The outside of the ballpark is fine but dated. They certainly need a new ballpark in 5-10 years.
It was originally one of those standard multi-purpose stadiums that were built in the 1960's and 1970's but they did at least renovate it enough in the late 1990's to be baseball-only. Having said that, the concourses are dated as heck.
@@S_Over_Street Unless they want to invest in the team and become contenders, Angel Stadium is fine as it is right now with the crowd sizes they get at games. The only real issue I see is the scoreboard being in the sunlight for day games.
Las Vegas ballpark won't be obsolete. The Golden Knights have their minor-league affiliate called Henderson Silver Knights and Henderson is a suburb of Las Vegas so yeah
you have an awful lot of faith in the a’s actually moving to vegas. vegas is not going to be livable in 10-15 years if not sooner. dying lake meade and colorado river, 50 degree celsius or higher summer temps. not to mention to incompetence of john fisher and mlb on this.
What? How do you define livable? Las eve has has an extremely hot desert climate. It was never livable until widespread air conditioning was common. How would it not be live able in the future if it was never livable to begin with? Also lake mead is not drying up anymore. That drought has ended. And why does it matter how hot Vegas is when everyone is just inside the entire time anyway? It’s not like Las Vegas has ever had a livable climate to begin with, same with phoenix. They have ac, and so people will continue to live there. It doesn’t matter how hot they are, they are still some of the fastest growing cities in the country. This isn’t India. 50 c is no different from what they already have. And why are you using Celsius? This is America.

It was originally one of those standard multi-purpose stadiums that were built in the 1960's and 1970's but they did at least renovate it enough in the late 1990's to be baseball-only. Having said that, the concourses are dated as heck.
@@S_Over_Street Unless they want to invest in the team and become contenders, Angel Stadium is fine as it is right now with the crowd sizes they get at games. The only real issue I see is the scoreboard being in the sunlight for day games.
I know you already consider Guaranteed Rate Field obsolete. What do you think of its proposed replacement?
Needed…
Las Vegas ballpark won't be obsolete. The Golden Knights have their minor-league affiliate called Henderson Silver Knights and Henderson is a suburb of Las Vegas so yeah
These obsolete stadiums are for baseball then you should call in the Indian ex-pats as they can turn it into a cricket pitch.
Target Center is
Angel stadium is beautiful.
Oakland Coliseum?
That place needs a wrecking ball, not renovations. Last time I was there was 2012 and it was a sh!t hole back then.
I expect the minor league team will relocate after the A's come to Vegas Maybe the UNLV team could use it.
Heinz Field is fine.Baltimore does NOT need a renovations n. This stupid renovations crap needs to end waste of money
you have an awful lot of faith in the a’s actually moving to vegas. vegas is not going to be livable in 10-15 years if not sooner. dying lake meade and colorado river, 50 degree celsius or higher summer temps.
not to mention to incompetence of john fisher and mlb on this.
They could use a water reusing system(treating waste water so it can be drunk by humans again, it's what they do at the ISS).
@great-one0389 a waste water treatment facility? I'm sure they do
What? How do you define livable? Las eve has has an extremely hot desert climate. It was never livable until widespread air conditioning was common. How would it not be live able in the future if it was never livable to begin with? Also lake mead is not drying up anymore. That drought has ended. And why does it matter how hot Vegas is when everyone is just inside the entire time anyway? It’s not like Las Vegas has ever had a livable climate to begin with, same with phoenix. They have ac, and so people will continue to live there. It doesn’t matter how hot they are, they are still some of the fastest growing cities in the country. This isn’t India. 50 c is no different from what they already have. And why are you using Celsius? This is America.
@@great-one0389they already do that
What a dumb take. It’s basically confirmed that Vegas will have a team in all 4 sports by 2030.
I can't stand Shitsburgh Stadium.
Ironically, that stadium is next to and was built at the same time as PNC Park, one of the best stadiums in Major League Baseball.
