I went to the new US Bank stadium. It's was so outrageous. Everything mentioned about the new raiders stadium describe the Viking stadium. I have no problem with these stadiums if there privately funded. The NFL thinks thier entitled to public funding.
@@lukebartlett5678 Actually, the Patriots are the only team in the NFL that can prove they are profitable for their city. When they moved from Boston to Foxboro in 1971, the town had only two rules: 1) No baseball; and 2) The Patriots had to add a surcharge to every ticket sold, and pay it to the town. Interestingly, Schaefer Stadium was privately funded: only $7 million, and it showed. It was both the best and the worst stadium in the NFL: excellent nightlines, perfect for watching football; but it was mostly cold aluminum benches, a dirt parking lot, and not enough restrooms.
That $5 billion price probably also includes building the entire neighborhood. You mentioned it at 10:54, but you probably need to elaborate on that part. A lot of the stadiums are including that in the total construction costs (adding malls, amusement parks, offices, condos, etc.)
That $55 million for the Metrodome didn't include air conditioning. The 1982 Twins played without air conditioning. It was nicknamed the swelterdome. They had it installed for the 1983 season.
That ad needs to be ran on tv, I’m glad I found this channel because I also have a stadium fetish, and the lawnmower 2.0 is one of my best purchases to date.
First, go to stadiums like the L.A. Colisium or the Rose Bowl. They are relatively simple structures and thus cheaper to build. Modern stadiums are FAR more complex with far more amenities. Add-in heaps of Government and environmental regulations(and Luddite opposition) and the costs skyrocket.
Me and my buddies are laughing all the way to the bank, it’s crazy what people are willing to pay for these things. Works out well for the local Ironworkers and other tradesmen though.
Enjoyed the insight and commentary, amazing comparison costs. Apparently a good view doesn’t get it anymore, neither do simple scissors as opposed to the Manscape mania....hmmm scissors still work 😅 Thanks for the post 👍
I was actually thinking about stadiums to myself today and was thinking it would be pretty nifty if someone built a stadium that did actually serve as hotel, and have connected to a shopping center.
My problem with this is that I see no reason why stadia should use public funding especially if the said team isn't going to pay rent on use of it. Sure it's great that your team gets a fancy new stadium, but why should the average person pay for it when these franchises are making millions if not billions a year? It's fucked up, in my eyes, that teams extort the city they are in for a new billion dollar stadium by threatening to move because they know how much pride them willing brings to a city. At least in Europe if a club wants a new stadium they use their own money, because that's what should happen, they also really don't pick up and move to another city (expect AFC Wimbledon/ MK Dons). I just feel like higher taxes for years to come to pay off a billion dollar expense that the city doesn't own doesn't make sense. Like half the time the city and team split the expense but it's still the team that makes money on gate receipts and any other events held in there that aren't related to sports, i.e. concerts. Now if you told me that Pittsburgh was building a $3 billion stadium for the Steelers and the team was paying a yearly lease on it until they own it and they don't make money on any non football event, I might be down. But honestly, I'm still paying for Hinez Field and PNC Park and PPG Paints Arena and I'll probably still be paying for them when each team inevitable gets a new stadium
This is why for the World Cup in South Africa, the government knew that the stadium building costs would be astronomical and that after the events, the stadiums would mostly remain empty or unused. So what did they do? They had a few stadiums that were almost like pre fabricated, shipped, assembled, then disassembled afterwards and sold to another permanent location. They pretty much rented a stadium for a summer LOL
Started watching your videos about a month ago and I really really like the commercial you did for the manscape stuff. Thank you for all the great videos I too have a fetish with stadiums.
You didnt mention what is probably the biggest reason which is the fact that the square footage of these stadiums has increased dramatically over the last 25 years.
May I introduce: Friends arena Stockholm. Built in 2009-2012, construction costs EUR 300 million. Capacity: 50000+. The stadium has a retractable roof and 92 executive suites. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_Arena
They really should simplify. They put crazy architectural designs, materials, and a lot of technology so that makes the cost expensive. Like 2020 Tokyo olympics original stadium was canceled.
The funny thing is, is well most fans aren't even going to watch a game at these nice stadiums because it costs like 250 dollars for a ticket and in fact many cities are legit saying no to new stadiums because having the tax payers pay for a new 1 billion dollar stadium that they will not watch a game in is dumb.
you give all the breakdown figures (of costs involved) but did not sum them all up to get the final figure..!! I was waiting for that towards the end of the video..! ah well, had to pause the video, note down the breakdown costs and now need to get a calculator, to add all these up..!
The relatively modest Carrier Dome in Syracuse was built for $25.63 million in 1980, $80 million today, but replacing the air-supported roof with a rigid structure is cost $118 million. To build a new stadium would cost about 4 times as much, and that would be on the budget end.
Paid for largely by NY State the Carrier Dome has been a great investment to bring economic activity to Syracuse although college football is better played outdoors. That looked like the Checkerboard in St. Louis being torn Down, once hosted NCAA Basketball Finals, went to a college hockey game there in late 70s.
They Cost so much and most of these Football stadiums (with a few exceptions) are only used 10 to 15 times a year...not very good ratio of cost to use....for that cost the event numbers need to increase dramatically...
The new soccer stadium here in Columbus is set for $220 million. Crazy to think a 20,000 seat stadium is about equal in price to the og Yankee Stadium. Thats weird to think about.
Stop screwing around with these “modern” stadiums and cover the stadiums of antiquity- the Roman coliseum etc. Those guys literally made a killing.

3:46 Very sad to see the Estádio Nacional on that list, almost 1bi dollars spent to make a parking lot in our capital city.
I've actually been to SoFi for a tour it's actually pretty cool It has like this weird breeze effect throughout the entire stadium
You said “1992” for the Georgia Dome but the type font says “1922”...
We should learn how to spell demolition at 5:21
Antonio Brown: Goes on rant about how he is worth the amount of money as a stadium
8:40 How do those guys balance themself up there with 35 lb balls?
Here's why - because the government can award their cousins and relatives more money in the form of stadium construction contracts.
I just wanna comment on the fact that Five Points Vids mentioned my favourite football (soccer) team, Tottenham Hotspur, in one of his videos!
Basically, stadiums cost more because there is more money to spend on stadiums.
On video, you sound 20yrs old😂
Ian Hammock, I thought this was a kid making these videos.
If he created a stadium it would probably be called, “ MANSCAPED FIELD”😂
Just when you think he couldn't possibly make another stadium video

Dude I LOVE YOUR ADS!!!!AWESOMENESS!!$$!!$$
Fantastic video. Very informative.
I thought you'd explain Why do New Stadiums Cost so much but you simply gave us the breakdown of the costs
Never seen 5points face till this vid, and wow, what a man
can you rank college football stadiums by conference
Charlie Williams this needs to be done
S.E.C has the biggest stadiums. LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas A&M has 100 thousand +/Georgia Florida Auburn is around 89 to 90 thousand.
