I love that you guys put a timer for your sponsored segments. I totally understand why they are necessary to fund the channel and think adding a timer shows real respect to the viewer to chose to watch them or not.

There is something so sad about infrastructure being left to disintegrate. You guys do a great job documenting these places in such an interesting, non-dramatic & respectful way.

I’m 34, it’s been about 28 years since I’ve been in that stadium. Despite the condition it’s in, this video brought back memories being a little kid

That area near the press box in the upper deck that you started in was very close to where our Redskins season tickets were, in Section 510, Row 17. It was awesome to see that area again after so many years.

Once you've left the building is definitely the best time to get caught :D I felt the suspense a few times during the video, I knew it was coming at some point!

13:24 the Crown amp racks are likely (part of) the amps for the main stadium PA system. notice they say 'SPK 9 SPK 10' which makes sense, as these are Crown model 'CH2', capable of driving two channels. Also notice the number starts at AMP29, so there is probably a couple of these clusters around the stadium. Usually in commercial fixed installations like this, the amps are run in 70 volt mode which allows for long speaker wire runs, but still, the amps need to be somewhat close to the speakers as with any signal over copper, you lose it the longer the run. These particular amps are rated for 600W per channel when run in 70v which is more than enough to drive the stadium horns. The distributed audio (speakers that run into lobbies, press boxes, corridors etc) looks to have been driven by the CTs 8200 (or similar) amps on the bottom portion of these racks (the ones with the silver fronts). It's an 4 or 8 zone amp, I imagine they sent different feeds to different zones and again is run in 70v mode for long cable runs. Note: TV/Radio broadcasters always bring their own trucks, so none of this equipment was likely used for television/radio broadcasts, only sound inside the stadium. Sometimes the network guys will have maybe the stadium announcers mic coming into the board just to monitor and listen to but obviously that never goes to air - you have your sportscasters for that.

G. Washington football game?

As a District of Columbia native, factoids: old DC Stadium (RFK), is a week older than Dodgers Stadium; our Washington Senators top hitter was Frank "Hondo" Howard-- he hit his long-range homers to the left field bleachers. The seats where the homers landed were painted white; the Senators' dugout was on the third base line. Just above was the Presidential Box; the men's bathroom was less than private with an open trough where you faced each other while peeing; and 2005-2008 the Nationals played there while the new stadium was being built.

I went to DC United's final home opener in 2016, then again in 2017 when they didn't have the new stadium ready. Even in 2016, they weren't maintaining the arena and it looked pretty much like it does now. That bit of pavement where you came out of the stadium at is where they parked all the TV production trucks on gameday.

Been to the stadium several times for the baseball Senators as a kid ( Old Griffith Stadium also) , Stones, Stevie Wonder & Aerosmith concert on a July 4th & many games for the terribly named professional football team (as a younger teen saw the Giants beaten 72-41- highest scoring game in NFL still) .

I usually don't watch yt videos twice because there is enough new stuff coming in every week but I rewatch so much of your older videos.

Came to town for a non-ballgame event there in 1996. It was cool to be able to see behind the movable stands to look at the grease-dust covered wheels, tracks, etc. Is this the first multi-purpose stadium, the kind that became so common in the 70's (and so retroactively ridiculed after)? The absence of a baseball team after 1971 made it okay to have a grass surface, so it escapes the criticism. I loved being there and miss this kind of place, which has been replaced by the 'perfect' NFL stadiums of today.

Ah, man....out of all the places you guys have explored, this one feels like the saddest. I'm a football (soccer) fan and I have a fascination for stadiums big and small, and there's just something so tragic about a giant sporting venue like this being left to rot. It's a shame that D.C United couldn't have stayed and redeveloped the stadium, but to be fair to them, they probably couldn't fill a venue so large, and the stadium wasn't built for soccer anyway In England, a stadium of this size wouldn't generally be left abandoned. Build-able land is at a premium here, especially in cities. If a team were building a new new stadium, they would either tear down their existing one first and build a new one on the same site, or the old one would be getting torn down while the new one was being built elsewhere, usually because the old site would have been sold off to housing developers or something, and they were getting to work. If a stadium couldn't be repurposed it would be torn down fairly quickly over here these days.

What you describe about England is pretty much what happened here. The Redskins had a new stadium built before they moved and DC United also got a nice new stadium. Demolition was supposed to start sooner but was delayed because of Covid. The only reason there aren't plans for redevelopment yet are because the site is controlled by the federal government and has a lot of restrictions on it. It's directly in line with the National Mall and the US Capitol Building so there's probably going to be a lot of tension and discussion surrounding how the land ends up being used.

@@TheProperPeople Ah, that makes sense. Covid definitely explains why it's not been demolished yet, but the federal ownership thing is something that doesn't happen here. There are a few teams nowadays who play at stadiums they don't own (like West Ham who play at the old Olympic Stadium which is owned by a private company, or Coventry City who play at a stadium owned by their local council) but more often than not stadiums (and the land they're built upon) are privately owned by the teams. If a team sell their stadium to a company that wants to redevelop the site, that work will usually start as soon as the last game has been played at the old ground (they don't hang about lol) so it's rare for a bigger stadium like this to sit empty for long at all. Smaller grounds are sometimes left abandoned, but they are usually in suburban areas, not cities, where redevelopment might not be as aggressively pursued. Thanks for the reply by the way.

Abandoned sports stadiums have to be up there with abandoned movie theaters, malls, hospitals, and amusement parks. Really cool video of the RFK stadium!

It's really ashamed this one couldn't be renovated. Up close, the individual spaces aren't that attractive (mostly due to bad renovations and repurposing throughout the years), but the overall architecture has aged very well. This was a fine example of good midcentury design. All that said, I understand the long list of reasons to replace vs. renovate, and that this stadium had lifespan longer that most. Still, when you consider that the replacement for the stadium is already under consideration for replacement (and wasn't well received from the beginning), I'd wonder if a major renovation could have bought RFK another couple decades. I think a lot of the newer stadiums will have even shorter lifespans (20-30 years). Cities are now in a constant race to have the newest and most extravagant facilities, and are at risk of losing teams if they can't/won't deliver. It's really unfortunate given the expense to taxpayers and the amount of resources that are required to build the behemoths.

Having worked in arenas and stadiums for decades, this video had particular interest to me. Mixed feelings on this stadium. It's truly well past its prime, but seems to have good bones. BUT... It opened in 1961, so the infrastructure was designed in the 1950s and appears to be mostly still original. Bringing the infrastructure up to modern standards would be costly and invasive. The biggest issue would be adding luxury suites & amenities. After that would be ADA (elevators & bathroom mods). Seeing just how close to original this place is was enjoyable though.

'no' That stadium would require so much work to retrofit to even 2005 standards that it just isn't worth it for anyone to do anything with.

my question is why hurry to demolish if there is no plan for the land

So great!!!! Really nice to see the old stadium! Damn shame that it’s abandoned. Thanks so very much for your video!!! Great stuff!!!

Hey guys.. awesome videos, great channel and very sad there are so many abandoned places in the world....keep up the good work.

I've been in a few stadiums in my day but never one that is completely void of life like this. I was kinda shocked at how big it is, so used to people being everywhere when I go to a game or concert! A little sad that this place is facing demolition. It holds so many memories. Games, Micheal Jackson, even the Beatles! I would've loved to see this place in person.

When they tore down Yankee Stadium, "The House that Ruth Built" a decade ago or so, that indicated to me how much we revere our history in this country.

Wacko jacko aka the little boy fondler? Do you normally celebrate that kind of person?

Abandoned sports stadiums are probably my favorite honestly

I love y’all’s videos since I’m not where I could explore abandoneded places like I’d like to so it’s cool to see some of these places

Thanks guys for an awesome explore! Another DMV gem from my youth. I wonder if BERG is going to get the job for this one just like for Landmark? We will see.

Part of the reason you saw tire tracks is because, not only does security patrol it, but the DC National Guard was occasionally parking vehicles on the field to make some room for their equipment. There was also talk, at one point, of using the grounds to make a Covid treatment area; but as you can see, with all the dilapidated equipment and innards, it wasn't feasible.
