As true as I personally feel you are, it don't matter. I say that cause, Indians were part of our history, part of most of our childhood, but they want to write off the Indian heritage and pretend it never happened. Teams change their names to forget them. We all played cowboys and Indians growing up, but we may not remember when we are older. The government wants it to have never happened. How many of you always wanted to be the Cowboy, because the cowboy was the good guy, Indians are evil belligerents? But, it's not til you get older that you realize that you have sub 50% Indian in your blood? Was it only me, I doubt it!

Chase Field might get demolished but I really can't imagine the Diamondbacks playing anywhere other than downtown Phoenix. Their stadium is just such an iconic part of the Phoenix skyline. One thing they could do is play their home games at their spring training ballpark in Scottsdale for a year while Chase Field spends a year getting remodeled and modernized. Then the Diamondbacks go right back to playing at the new and improv Chase Field the next season.

You state that Scottsdale has no public transportation, but private motor vehicle use is still the most dominant form of transportation in the Phoenix area, as is the case for most cities outside of New York City and the inner cores of some of the older, more densely-populated cities. Scottsdale is closer to Valley population centers than the site of the sports facilities in Glendale that are home to the Cardinals and was the former home of the Coyotes. There is space to build a new Diamondbacks stadium by redeveloping older areas adjacent to Old Town Scottsdale. It would be easy for people throughout the Valley to get to the Scottsdale stadium via the SR 101 freeway, which comes from southeastern suburbs like Chandler, Mesa, and Gilbert and from northern Phoenix and its western suburbs. Plenty of parking could be developed, and with all of the restaurants, bars, and nightlife options, people will be willing to come early to games and stay afterwards late.

I'm convinced that Rogers Centre is going to be around until 2075 at least. It's in a good location and there's not really anywhere else to put a stadium. It's well maintained and has a retractable roof which is necessary here. And since Rogers is a publicly traded company, I can't see them dropping $2bn CAD on another retractable roof stadium. As much as it gets a bad rap/ranking, it just works so well for this city.

This is one of the oddest channels on youtube, yet it's somehow quite watchable. Anyway, a retractable roof for the Dodgers? I just went to Dodger Stadium this week and it's still a great experience with one big exception -- driving there. The Dodgers don't need a roof and probably won't need a new stadium for another half century or more. What they need is a subway stop, trolley stop, bus stops or multiple better ways to get there. Also, Camden Yards is not getting demolished this century.

When they first moved to L.A. back in the late 50's the city council essentially tossed out a large group of low-income families to make room for the stadium. However, it would be quite the sight if the Dodgers ever do leave the ravine to see it replaced with an upscale housing development where once modest homes stood.

Bingo. The other thing, without sounding like a homer, is the Pohlads have continued to make renovations and improve the park on a consistent basis, much like what homeowners should be doing. The issue is when a ballpark or home has no changes for 5 years, for 10 years, and then there comes a time where a huge investment is needed to keep things afloat (see Brewers).

I think if T-Mobile Park renovates the right field upper deck into some sort of pavilion, that should prolong its stadium life. I’m sure they’re experimenting with the idea given that they put a deep dish pizza concession in the upper right field deck area that’s consistently busy every home game.

The problem with the Angels is the owner Arte Moreno not the fanbase (avg 30k+ fans per game even with 9 years in a row under .500) or the city. They do need a new stadium in Anaheim tho.

As someone who has been to every stadium, I can safely say Guaranteed Rate (Comiskey) is one of the nicest ballparks in baseball. There’s really no bad seat. The concourse is big.

10:51 the SkyDome (including its roof) was built to last 100 years and knowing how penny-pinching a company Rogers is, they'll keep kicking that can down the road until it's condemned and then demand the governments pay for a new stadium. They bought the stadium for an absolute steal. Taxpayers funded it to the tune of $500M (chump change today but exorbitant in 1989) and Rogers bought it for $20M (yes TWENTY, not a typo) in 2004. So I'd say your 2065 prediction would be accurate if Rogers sells the team to somebody else between now and then, and the new owners can build a new stadium without going to the taxpayers.

Or will the Cardinals eventually go the route of the blues and after rename there’s venue every five years or so… Or the soccer team, who had to rename the stadium before it even opened

Building anything in So Cal is so fraught with graft it's tough to imagine even Angel Stadium being torn down, let alone Dodger Stadium. The Padres stadium (whatever it's called) could be another 100+ year stadium. In another market, the Angels would have built a stadium in the 90's like everyone else.

New stadiums don’t last that long anymore. I wish some of these stadiums last that long

This is interesting. These teams can move around, abandon cities and their fans, seek greener pastures, whatever. But absolutely NO public money should be used for stadia or arenas.

For the love of god please get rid of the Trop. It is a huge black eye for MLB. The fact that a ball can literally bounce off of objects and still be in play is ridiculous considering this is a professional sport. I would rather see the Coliseum stay for another 100 years then have to play one more game at that poor excuse for a ballpark. Stupid catwalks

1. Fenway will get replaced eventually and the Red Sox will build near the Waterfront. But the new development delayed that for a few decades, I'm thinking 2060 or so. 2. Dodgers will build a new stadium as soon as the Angels do. 3. Citi Field will outlast New Yankee Stadium. 4. PNC, GABP, Oracle Park, and Target Field will become the new Wrigley, Fenway, and Dodger Stadiums, lasting many decades 5. Orioles will end up shocking the baseball world and replacing Camden Yards by 2030 6. Wrigley will be the forever stadium, outlasting Fenway

Crazy to think I’d be 80 when some of these parks are demolished 🤯

The trend of moving to suburbs needs to end as a priority. And really, people need to get out of this mindset that it’s inevitable that stadiums get demolished and new ones built as a standard practice. The only exceptions would be if they made the mistake of moving out of city centres and need to move back, or stupidly were in the suburbs to begin with. I would love if they could lift up Tropicana Field and place it down in Tampa itself, because the Trop has a kind of cosy feeling to it despite it being a dome out in the middle of nowhere. There are other stadiums that are supposed to be better that I don’t get that feeling with.

When will MLB realize that Wrigley and Fenway are the crown jewels of their world? Both have evolved with the game. The stadiums are loved by their fans as much as they love the teams that play in them. Look at Chicago, Go to Wrigley Field and become immersed in the environment. Then, head south to the White Sox ( name changes every ten years) and sit in a giant box out in some manufacturing slum area. The park is 20ish years old, and we see sketches of the stadiums that will replace existing locations. Baseball has become a game of greed, and has lost it's soul.

Rogers Centre (or Skydome, as I know it) is getting another renovation over the winter, hence why the Jays will be playing on the road for most of April 2024. Shapiro says it'll be in phases, and since this will be phase 2, I assume there will be more to come. I don't think they'll be changing the roof due to our winters just being brutal. Although 2065 seems reasonable, considering City Council has been rumoured to have a proposal for a new stadium on the waterfront. For what? No one knows, that's why it's only a rumour.

i cant imagine them ever demolshing citi field. the fans really love it, i think it will just continue to get renovated.

Rogers Centre is an iconic part of the Toronto skyline, so I don’t see it going anywhere.

Globelife Field is the same as Tropicana Field when Tropicana Field was brand new.

You mean it was built without a tenant in the hopes of luring a MLB team, and resulted in six teams getting new stadia in their home towns by threatening to move to St. Petersburg? The expansions in 1993 and 1998 were well-planned, as none of the new teams had nearby teams competing against them for fans (except for Tampa Bay, and Miami might as well be on a different planet), and all four of them were located in large cities which were still rapidly growing. Things didn't work out as well as everyone expected for the two Florida teams, but the Marlins would two World Series in their first ten years, and the Rays have been to the World Series twice.

You need to do one for NFL stadiums!

The Phils really did build a timeless stadium

As a Red Sox fan, I don’t think Fenway will ever be demolished but if they do build a new stadium, I’d be disappointed if they made a replica field. I’d want something completely different but also unique.

Dodger stadium is a dump in a garbage area of the city. There’s nothing in walking distance around it like bars, restaurants, or entertainment and it’s impossible to get in and out of.

Can you do this but with the NFL

I will never understand how and why sub standard venues have been built since 2K. Mirever, the ultimate DISGRACES: Fenway Park and Wrigley are keepers...DAMN!!!

Bro... Dodger Stadium is not going to be replaced with a retractable roof or dome. Lol.

A replica Fenway with a retractable roof sounds like a total abomination. I’ve got to laugh about the infatuation for domed ballparks. It doesn’t get very hot in California. Why do the Dodgers need one? Makes no sense.

The Jays are priced into Rogers Centre, especially with the renovated field level. Fenway and Wrigley are eternal. Fenway doubly so because nuclear Armageddon won’t destroy the great green jewel of the commonwealth. Wait that’s a fallout reference.

The Diamondbacks leaving Chase Field would finally solve the Coyotes' decades long saga for a new arena.

I’m thinking that PNC Park could become a landmark.

A dome for baseball in Southern California has to be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

PNC Park is a forever ballpark. It's simply perfect.

Western Pennsylvania has been losing population for many years, so how long could the Pirates profitably remain in Pittsburgh if the area continues to decline, and there are other areas with greater population and prosperity that don't have a team?

@@Rondon216 I recently visited Pittsburgh and walked around PNC Park on a Saturday night when the Pirates were on the road, so there was no game. Looks like a beautiful park with statues of Clemente, Stargell, Mazeroski, and Honus Wagner. There are interesting things to do around the neighborhood, but didn't have time to explore the area extensively. However, the greater Pittsburgh area does feel significantly smaller, and definitely a lot older, than my current home region of metro Phoenix, which many think of as a "small market" but actually is situated in a county that has nearly twice the population of Greater Pittsburgh. The population of Greater Pittsburg is less than it was in 1960 and had declined in every census tabulation since 1970 except for 2020, when the population showed a modest increase from 2010. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Pittsburgh

​​ @HighpointerGeocacher Excellent point about how Western PA has been losing population for the last 40 years.. I really think that tend might be reversed in the near future.. Western PA is very affordable and has great bones.. With many areas in the states getting outrageously expensive, I think that region will see positive growth by 2035.

Dodger Stadium will stand the test of time.

Rogers Centre is being Renovated to give it another 10 years. The problem is there is NO WHERE to build in Downtown Toronto. They are in the perfect spot. Honestly the playmight be to spend two years in Buffalo and then build on the same spot lol

A second home plate plaque for 35th and Shields. Classic.

Sorry DG, I don't get it. How do people rank these things? I find almost all stadium rankings and the difference between classic and old to be completely arbitrary and subjective. Ive been to them all plus ones that have gone and some international ones. What is your model? I think the top factors are location neighborhood and things around it, weather/comfotability, views, public transportation, practicality over flashy, organic over forced, and cost. I think there are a lot of classics here. My top 10 in order are Seattle, Houston, Arizona, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Diego, San Francisco, Baltimore, Minnesota, Miamii. Big honorable mention to Denver, Philly Toronto, Milwaukee as they just missed. I think Washington, Detroit, both New Yorks, Cleveland and White sox underrated, with all the new developments and with neighborhoods around the park. Future bubble stadiums are Cincinnati, Dodger, Atlanta,, Angel's, Boston,Wrigley and maybe Kansas City depending on how they all renovate and build up in the future. Oakland and Tampa are the only ones that need a whole new approach but could be classic at their sites if built up right but right now are the worst, Kansas city is close to being on the worst lisr..

They already seriously considered replacing the Rogers Centre before they announced the recent renovations.

I think you're being way too generous with the longevity of modern stadiums. Most modern stadiums "need renovations" after 20 years, and are then "too old" after 30 years. It is extremely rare for a modern stadium to last beyond 30 years.

@scotttild The bullpen being moved _is a "renovation"._ In about 10 years, the team will be complaining that the stadium is "too old", and that they need a new stadium (funded by taxpayers, of course) in order to "stay competitive".

I can't about the year 2085. I will be a 110 years old. If the mighty Lord allow me to get there.
