4:54 Fun story: Back in 1974, Yankee Stadium underwent 2 years of renovations. During that time, they moved into Shea with the Mets & Jets. Then in 75, the Giants (who played at the Yale Bowl in 74) joined them. So in the month of September, two MLB teams and 2 NFL teams had to share the same field
I live 5 miles from Citifield, where the Mets play, but we’ve always been a Yankees family. My daughter’s BF is a die-hard Mets fan and just scored a summer internship with the franchise. Gonna be an interesting summer. Queens is also getting a 25,000 seat soccer stadium in 2027.
Is that going to be NYCFC's new hone?
@@cwcm1985Yep 💪🏽
@@nysportsfan2576fortress. Gonna make it scary for teams to come I can’t wait
Back in the day, many MLB teams shared stadiums with NFL teams.
For a few years, while Yankee Stadium was being renovated, Shea Stadium shared the Stadium with their regular tenants of Jets & Mets, but also shared the Yankees, and Giants as well.
@@frankisfunny2007imagine playing on that surface 🤦♂️ it’s just gonna be a mud pit with all those games being played on it
I grew up in the 80s in Nassau County (Long Island) and am Jets/Knicks/Rangers/Mets. One added thing about our fandom is how we consume each of the four main leagues (or five if you count MLS). The leagues are mostly regional with the exception of the NFL, which is national. This is solely because of television, as the NFL contracts are negotiated at the league level, whereas in baseball, basketball and hockey individual teams regionally sell their rights. There are of course national contracts in the other sports as well, but they're secondary and especially in baseball inform the economic gap between large and small markets.
I say this because if I looked around at my friends growing up back then it was pretty simple: we were split on Yankees/Mets in baseball and Rangers/Islanders in hockey. It was rare to see someone who was into an out-of-town team in those sports. Everyone who was into hoops liked the Knicks, with small exceptions of those liking the dynastic L.A. Lakers, Boston or Chicago. Football was a completely different story. We were mostly Jets/Giants, but there were also plenty of Miami, Pittsburgh, L.A. Raiders, Dallas, Washington, Chicago and San Francisco fans as well, owing to those teams routinely being good and thus seen regularly on national TV. Even back then before streaming and satellite packages, if you were a Miami or Dallas fan living in New York you had a pretty decent chance of seeing half of their games, if not more. That would have been an impossibility in any of the other sports.
I’m 62. I was born and raised in NYC, but I’m a lifelong fan of the Chicago Cubs and New England Patriots.
I grew up on Long Island. My mom was a Yankees fan and my father a Mets fan. I wound up supporting both. As a (Long) Islander, I'm a very strong Islanders fan. The only real difference is when the Jets moved to the Meadowlands (in NJ), I transferred my allegiance to what I consider the only true New York team in the NFL, the Buffalo Bills.
He failed to mention the Nets started as the New York Nets of the rival ABA.
trivia: the dodger's name comes from all the street cars the people in Brooklyn had to dodge
the Yankees originally were the Baltimore Orioles
the famous "nice guys finish last" quote comes from a Dodgers manager .
.
Trolleys is what they had to dodge. And the Yankees did not originate in Baltimore. That has been disproven.
growing up 2 hours north of the city I mainly took on the teams my dad rooted for which were the Mets, and Giants my brother liked the Knicks so i followed suit and I chose the Islanders because of the orange and blue colors that the Mets and Knicks also wear!!!
I’m from Long Island. I’m an Islanders, Mets, Jets, Knicks, and NYCFC fan. Knicks is really the only team that is basically unanimously followed across NYC barring pockets of BK. Nets while yes they did play on LI it was brief and over 50 years ago at this point, they are very much a NJ team in the average NYers mind. So it’s kinda always just been Knicks basketball regardless of where in the NYC metro you’re from. They have some BK fans but the Knicks are for sure the dominant team in most of the metro. Everything else is usually either geography or what your family supports. Islanders are very much and LI team though, we don’t really have many fans in the city proper. A little bit of support from Queens and BK from when the team briefly played in Barclays but outside that not really.
I was born and raised in New York City. With me, it's geography!
I root for the Yankees because they play in the Bronx, and I'm from the Upper West Side of Manhattan (closer than Flushing, Queens)
I root for the Giants because they originally shared homes with the Yankees
I root for the Rangers because they represent New York City (the Islanders represent Long Island and the Devils represent New Jersey)
I root for the Knicks because they're rooted in Manhattan, the borough I was born in
New York City and Los Angeles have multiple teams in the MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLS... Furthermore there are a few minor league baseball teams in the New York City area...
Brooklyn Cyclones & Staten Island Yankees come to mind
But unlike NYC, the Angels, the Clippers and the Chargers will always be in the shadows of the Dodgers, the Lakers and the Rams.
@@mortensen1961 The chargers kinda did that one to themselves.
@@Tconlon251_2: True dat. They left L.A. in '61 for a reason, they couldn't compete with even a mediocre Rams team at the time.
@ They also decided to come back well after the Rams were able to recruit pretty much any football fans who weren’t super loyal to either the Raiders or Cardinals
I’d say it’s probably similar to London sports fans. Arsenal fans or Chelsea fans all over the city type thing
MLB teams who shared a stadium with the NFL team..... hang on to your butts, it's a LOOOONG comment......
-- Colts & Orioles before the Colts relocated to Indianapolis overnight in 1983
-- Rams & Dodgers before Didger Stadium opened up
-- Both MLB & NFL teams shared their respective stadiums with the Mets & Jets with Shea Stadium. Giants & Yankees shared Yankees Stadium.
-- Florida/Miami Marlins shared Hard Rock Stadium with the Miami Dolphins until Marlins Park was opened in 2012.
-- the AstroDome was home to both the Houston Oilers & Houston Astros. Oilers moved to Tennessee to become the Titans.
-- Pittsburgh had Three River Stadium. Which housed the Pirates, and Steelers
-- both the Cincinnati Bengals & Reds shared a stadium.
-- the Washington Redskins shared RFK Stadium with the Washington Senators. The Senators moved to Texas to become the Rangers, and Redskins got a new stadium, and name.
-- the Cleveland Browns, and Indians shared a stadium going back to the 1940s until the Indians got Jacobs Field (now called Progressive Field) in 1994.
-- the MetroDome was home to the Minnesota Twins & Minnesota Vikings
-- Busch Memorial Stadium (1966-2005) housed the NFL Cardinals from 1966 through 1987 before moving to Arizona. It also housed the MLB Cardinals for the entirety of the stadium's life. Before building the St Louis Dome, the Rams played a season at the stadium in 1995
-- for 2 seasons, Mile High Stadium in Denver hosted both the NFL Broncos & MLB Rockies.
-- Fulton County Stadium also hosed both the Braves, and Falcons.
-- Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA is known for baseball. But from 1980 to 1994, the Los Angeles Rams has their home at the stadium.
-- from 1969 to 2003 when PetCo Park was opened,the MLB San Diego Padres & NFL Chargers shared a stadium. Which was called San Diego Stadium.
-- not NFL, but the CFL (Canadian Football League) team Argonauts shared Rogers Centre from 1989 to 2005 with the Blue Jays.
- from 1978 to 1983, the KingDome housed the NASL Seattle Sounders, NFL Seahawks, MLB Mariners, & NBA Sonics. Sinics relocated to Oklahoma City
-- COOL NOTE: The MLS & NFL team in Seattle built their current stadium where the KingDome was!
-- the last multipurpose stadium is currently in Oakland. Which housed the Raiders, & Athletcs. The Raiders left to go to Las Vegas. The Athletics just left Oakland last season to go to Sacramento, and eventually to Las Vegas.
Speaking of New York Metro Area, can you react to Mileage Mike's video about 10 Things New York is Different than other U.S. cities?
There is some geographic tendecies as the video mentions... some historical / social / familial ones as well. But for the most part..it is now pretty random. For me Yankees, Giants, Knicks, Devils and Red Bull...
I grew up in northern New York State. Everyone I knew was a Yankees fan. I still am. I also prefer the Islanders, and Knicks.
Giants, Mets, Knicks, Nets,Rangers, and NYCFC ♡.
With so many teams to chose from, the worst fans to me are the New Yorkers who bandwagon onto some other team like the Chiefs or Cowboys because they were good at the time. The Buffalo Bills are also a NY team so there are actually ten teams to choose from
From north Jersey, Father was a Yankee fan,so am I, only like Yankeess and Rangers. Dallas Cowboy & Boston Celtics fan
Mets Jets Knicks Rangers Oddly enough.My first professional football game was watching the giants play at yankee stadium in 1974
I was born in Queens, NYC and grew up on Long Island. I am a die hard fan of the NY Yankees, NY Rangers, and NY Jets. My brothers are fans of the NY Islanders instead of the NY Rangers. All the the other teams are same for all of us. When they chose to be Islanders' fans, it proved that I was more intelligent than them.
I would suggest that the one who is the fan of the team with 1 championship since World War II would actually be the less intelligent one
@@foisixes677 It's called honor and loyalty! And since the Islanders haven't won anything in 40+ years, no one should be rooting for them at all.
@@ESUSAMEXthey have a better chance than the rangers do at the wild card this year. rangers don’t shoot first, stay mad
I'm Yankees-Rangers, while my dad is Mets-Rangers. Don't care about football or basketball. I also have friends who are Yankees-Rangers-Jets and Yankees-Islanders. This is also dismissing Central and Upstate NY who support the Bills and Sabres.
Point being that it's a hodgepodge. People choose who they gravitate towards the most.
tbf i think they video is about the NYC metro area and not NYS on the whole. The areas where Sabres and Bills support begins is hours removed from NYC.
@@Fatblue246 Yeah. Buffalo is more like Southern Ontario and 7 hours North West of the NYC area. I don't care about football, baseball or basketball, but I have been a Sabres fan my entire life
Lifelong NY'er. It's interesting that they only mention NYC when talking about New York sports fans. (I'm from Suffolk County Long Island)
Just totally ignoring the Buffalo Bills and Sabers who have a large fan base.
Only NY team in football is Buffalo, Jets/Giants are Jersey
Florida is more based which school you’re going to or at. Florida has a basketball team in the Magic, football has the Jacksonville jaguars and Tampa bay buccaneers, hockey we did have the solar bears but the league folded, in soccer we have the Orlando lions and pride. College really is the big thing as you are a Florida university gator, Florida state Seminole, university of Miami hurricane, or university of central Florida Knight. The noles and gators are in the same conference. The knights aren’t but for one glorious season they faced the gators. The hurricanes kind of but I have not been hearing much from them. The jags aren’t great while the buccaneers have a Super Bowl win under their belt.
In reality there isn't really that kind of team loyalty anymore. You got a far better shot looking at London's football teams.
*ain't
there is but sports fandom in general in NA is just very different then sports fandom in Europe. it has a different place in society and different origins. College football is kinda close, but even then still not the same thing, and that’s not really culturally relevant in the NYC metro area due to a myriad of factors so it’s not present in the video. But you do see team groupings based off heritage and geography here pretty often if we aren’t including transplants(which we shouldn’t they’re not really New Yorkers). My grandmother was a lifelong Dodgers fan, and when they moved she stopped watching baseball for years and she never really fully supported another team again in the same way.
Just remember this sports fans: ☝️
- There's only ONE NFL football 🏈 team in the State of New York. The Buffalo Bills 🦬 (Town of Orchard Park, Erie County, New York).
- There's only ONE MLS soccer ⚽ team in the State of New York. The New York City Football Club (Yankee Stadium; Bronx, New York).
- The State of New Jersey has only ONE professional sports team. The New Jersey Devils of the National Hockey League 🥅🏒. ☹️
Hockey is the best sport. I would not mind one bit if all Buffalo had was the Sabres
Wow, didn't mention soccer ⚽, guess it's irrelevant.
They didn't mention upstate NY either
Soccer and more specifically MLS is relevant just not historically. It’s a very new league it’s barely 30 years old, so even by NA sports league standards it is quite new, but it IS growing and the city just approved a new soccer specific stadium in queens that seats 25,000 called Etihad Park. In the NYC metro area we have 2 MLS clubs, NYCFC and NY RedBulls. NYCFC currently plays in both Yankee Stadium and Citi Field while Etihad Park is under construction in Queens, while NY Redbulls play at RedBull Arena in Harrison NJ. Redbulls are the much older club being founded in MLS’s inception, NYCFC is an expansion club that joined around 2015. Though NYCFC is the younger team they have won the MLS cup(championship)while NY Redbulls have not despite having many years of deep playoff runs and winning seasons. So it’s very similar to the Islanders vs Rangers dynamic in that regard prior to the Rangers winning the stanley cup in the 90’s. NYCFC also likes to hold it over Redbulls head that they actually play in NYC while the Redbulls play in Jersey, but Redbulls like to respond in kind by saying they at least play in a soccer specific stadium and a not a baseball park. Overall, MLS is still niche relative to the big 4 in terms of media coverage and presence in culture, but if we go by strictly viewership and attendance numbers there is clearly quite a devoted following to both clubs by people in the area and it is growing every year. Once the new stadium is built and another 10-15 years go by, the teams will be pretty well cemented culturally. Just takes time
US league soccer is irrelevant. I only follow National
Completly forgot about the Buffalo teams in this video
Last time I checked buffalo isn't part of new york city or its metro area
He's only talking about the NYC metropolitan area
We are not part of NY
He forgot the Buffalo teams
It's about the city not the state
California has more teams
And better
