There was also Richfield Coliseum, which was the home of the Cavaliers for about 20 years. I know it wasn't in Cleveland proper, but in the burbs.

Prior to the Cleveland Arena there was the Elysium Arena which lasted from 1906 until 1937. It sat about 2000 and was the original home of what became the Cleveland Barons (AHL).

Hey now, the Convocation / Wolstein Center was the home to the old Cleveland Crunch, who won three titles, and played for five more during their existence.

NHL can have some new expansion team in Cleveland, Ohio!🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒🏒

They won't ever

Speaking of Cleveland, Did you know that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is making an expansion to its museum. So I was wondering if you can do a video about that?

The noted joke of the old Coliseum in Richfield, OH is its middle of nowhere location. A local told a journalist where Richfield is. The location is between Akron and Cleveland.

​@@76carmelyes it's not even in Cuyahoga county(which I guess is ironic since the most vital player to the cavs franchise grew up in summit county)

Maybe Progressive Field might become Soccer/Football Material (NFL, MLS, MLR, NWSL, and USL)

I'm a native Clevelander, I attended games at every park/arena you mentioned in this video except League Park, it was before my time. First, I want to mention that you stated Cleveland Municipal Stadium was a bad place to watch baseball, it wasn't, the upper deck of this stadium was equal to watching a game in club seats at Progressive Field, Cleveland Municipal Stadium was built to attract the 1932 Olympics, which unfortunately went to Los Angeles. The only bad seat in Municipal Stadium was behind an upper deck pole! You failed to mention the Richfield Coliseum, built to replace the Cleveland Arena. This venue was the Cleveland Arena on steroids. Similarly built, but adding another 10,000 seats above the lower bowl. It was a great place to watch anything, especially concerts, no bad seat in the entire place. The unfortunate thing about this arena, it was built in an area that had no public transportation and minimal highway and local access. It was the Field/Arena of Dreams for Cleveland and built in this area only because of the urban decay of the 1970's! Cleveland also made an mistake in the late 1990's, by not building a domed stadium for the new Browns. It is hard to justify building anything at the necessary and needed cost for only 8-10 events a year. They definitely should have built something similar to Ford Field! Finally, Dan Gilbert should be mentioned here as probably the greatest sports owner in Cleveland history! He helped renovate the existing Rocket Mortgage Field House with his own money and brought Cleveland it first major championship in 52 years! Mr. Gilbert should also be mentioned for helping revitalize downtown Detroit.

The original Cleveland Barons were so popular in the 1950’s, they wanted to join the NHL. However neither the Red Wings nor Blackhawks wanted a 3rd team in the MidWest.

I think the Richfield Coliseum should've been added, outside of Cleveland, it's barely outside of Cleveland. Out in the sticks.

Next new Cleveland facility will the the Wolstein replacement down at CSU.

We need WNBA, MLS, MLR, NWSL, USL and NHL teams in Cleveland, Ohio

A lot of these stadiums and arenas built in the 90’s & 2000’s can have renovations and last 50+ years you can’t just assume replacing them, the cookie cutters of the 60’s & 70’s didn’t last because you can’t fit baseball & football in the same place a be close to the action where as Hockey & Basketball can fit easily in the same arena (unless you build it for basketball only like the Barclays Center in Brooklyn or wherever the Phoenix suns play)

It comes down to opulence. If you renovate a current facility, talks for a new stadium will come up within several years. Renovating an old stadium costs as much as building a new stadium that would last longer.

The cookie cutters new in the late sixties or early didn't last because Owners, Leagues, Contractors, and Politicians knew there was big money in replacing "obsolete" stadiums after very few decades. Wrigley and Fenway have survived because of overwhelming sentiment for repairs, not because of superior steel from the early 1900's.

League park is way before my time, but i like league park looked like a nice park cool to see some remnants remaining

Great video.

Nice Video dude

Of course in there you have the Richfield Coliseum era, not really Cleveland, but maybe worth a video in itself.

The AHL, WHA, and NHL, were in and out of Cleveland before 1980. I'm not caught up on more recent minor league hockey in Cleveland. It all comes down to the NHL has bypassed both Cleveland and Cincinnati in favor of Central Ohio's growing capital Columbus.

Cleveland has had another AHL team, called the Cleveland Monsters, since 2007. They are the affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets and share the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse with the Cavaliers. They won the Calder Cup in 2016.

Cleveland Browns stadium still looks very nice inside, I just never understood all the whining about it !!

Nice!

Uhhh, I saw Jay Z at the wolstein center. Def a major stadium
