Thank you for pointing this out! You're absolutely correct-the New Orleans Fair Grounds opened in 1872, predating Churchill Downs by three years. It’s an incredible venue with a storied history, and it absolutely deserves recognition as one of America’s oldest active sports venues.

Thanks for your perspective! It’s a fair point that some historic stadiums have undergone significant changes over the years, and deciding how much of the original structure should remain to qualify as 'historic' can be subjective. However, part of what makes these venues special is their legacy and continued use, even if they've evolved to meet modern needs. We aimed to honor their stories and enduring connection to sports history. That said, we'd love to hear your thoughts-are there specific stadiums you'd exclude or ones you think should be celebrated differently? Your input helps us refine our approach for future content!
@gamearenas the Yale bowl and rose bowl are the only two stadiums that look anything like they did when they were opened. Oh add the Los Angeles Colosseum to the list
That wouldn't work. In the US stadiums are either updated as sports grow or they're torn down. The Yale Bowl is an outlier. But the cores of these stadiums like Neyland and Ohio Stadium is still the original buildings... just added onto a lot.

I've only been to one of these, Wrigley Field. It was 1988 and the stadium lights were only 2 weeks old at the time. It's just an excellent place to see a ball game, and my personal favorite. Great atmosphere there. Two years later I went to a game at the old Tiger's Stadium which only has the flagpole remaining today at a community ball park that stands on the site. Tiger's Stadium was another classic that should still be around.
Wow, sounds like you've experienced some amazing baseball moments! Wrigley Field really does have a unique atmosphere that fans cherish, and Tiger's Stadium-what an iconic place! Thanks for sharing your story; it's always great to hear about the personal connections people have with these historic venues!

Thank you for sharing your perspective; it’s a thought-provoking point. The shift from memorializing historic events and sacrifices to more commercially driven naming trends certainly sparks reflection. While some venues still honor their roots, others embraced modern sponsorships to fund updates and improvements.

What about Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati? Started as a basic field in 1901 and a Concrete Structure since 1915 making it the fourth-oldest playing site and fifth-oldest stadium in college football, respectively.
Great point about Nippert Stadium! Its transformation from Carson Field in 1901 to a concrete structure in 1915 definitely cements its place as one of the oldest college football stadiums. Thanks for highlighting its rich history: It deserves recognition!

@@gamearenas Unfortunately, I missed Wrigley Field. The only time I was in Chicago, the Cubs were on the road. However, I did see the White Sox at the old Comiskey Park.
Ross Ade Stadium was also opened in 1924, still used by Purdue, the founding school of the BIG Ten. It’s been renovated over the past 100 years with capacity going up, down, and recently back up a bit again.
Thanks for sharing about Ross-Ade Stadium! It’s amazing how much history and evolution some stadiums like Purdue’s have seen over the years. Renovations always keep these iconic venues fresh while honoring their legacy!
I went to a doubleheader at Wrigley, but unfortunately it was so early in the season that the famous ivy hadn't sprouted its leaves yet. The Red Sox are my local team, and I've been to Fenway Park many times. BTW: Cambridge is its own city and not a part of Boston.
That must have been an unforgettable experience at Wrigley! Even without the ivy in full bloom, the charm of the ballpark is undeniable. And being a Fenway regular? That’s every baseball fan’s dream! 😊 As for Cambridge, you're absolutely right-thank you for pointing that out!
@@gamearenas Can't say that I'm a regular at Fenway, just been there often (going all the way back to seeing Ted Williams play in the first game my father took me to as a kid.)

@gamearenas My Grandfather had season tickets for years in section JJ row 55, above us and two sections to the right was KK, at the top of the Stadium was a big iron plate secured to section KK & L with long bolts drilled into the concrete facade, the stadium was built with the east side built on the side of a hill, while the West side was built up by a superstructure facade that held up about the last 46 rows (as the first 30 rows were underground. Those two sections kk & L were separated by almost 2 feet at the top of the Stadium by the Hayward earthquake fault. In 2010 the interior of the Stadium was gutted and rebuilt to today's earthquake standards. What a difference $321M did! They kept the facade of the old stadium, but it's all new everywhere else. We even have metal benches now!

I use AI alongside extensive research and fact-checking to create these videos; it’s a blend of technology and effort. Crafting well-researched, engaging content takes time. If creating videos were as simple as clicking a button, I’d be able to publish a dozen daily!
I hope you can appreciate the dedication behind the scenes, and I’ll keep striving to improve the experience for viewers like you.
