Cities that need new stadiums

[boots]

There are a lot of venues out there getting up there in age and showing signs of wear and tear. And that's on the pro level. There are many college sites that should be torn down. Who makes your top three and give a reason why.

If we're talking NFL, Indy is getting their new one in a few years...

San Diego, Minneapolis, St. Louis and San Francisco could all use new football stadiums.

Jacksonville's stadium is a dump too, but they won't even have a team in a few years so it probably won't be an issue...

 

[Flying Headbutt]

The Deadskins are already looking at building a new stadium, even though the crappy on they're in now is only about 10 years old.

Mizzou, where would Jacksonville be looking to go? What makes you think they won't have a team?

In the NFL:
Cleveland - Not a great place to view a game.
Oakland - Raider fan is dangerous but the stadium is just as bad.
Miami - At one time it was the jewel of the league. Now, it's quickly becoming an eyesore.

I agree about Oakland. But their fans make me laugh more than any others. The zoo-like atmosphere makes up for the crappy Colosseum. Giants Stadium is a dump.

Let me get this right, Cleveland – which just built the Browns' new stadium in the late 1990s - needs a new stadium? You're joking, right?

I didn't include the Giants because ground has been broken on a new facility.

I don't like the stadium. Sorry.
Browns fans are also something else, but the topic is stadiums.

Hey, if you're forking over the cash to build it, go right ahead.

Chester, if I had that kind of cash lying around, there's a pretty good chance we wouldn't be having this conversation.

 

[Claws for Concern]

There's one stadium that's an issue for both the NFL and college team -- San Diego Chargers and San Diego State.

Jack Murphy Stadium, er, Qualcomm Stadium has been a money loser, an eyesore and a city problem for years. Chargers have been looking at nearby cities to build a new one, but the cities won't be on board with the amount it'll cost to build. There's talk of even a new stadium on the current site, too.

San Diego State, meanwhile, is a football program that's dripping in red. It's Division I, but uses Qualcomm instead of having its own stadium on campus which won't be happening anytime soon. The program, coached by Chuck Long, was 3-9 last year and there's not much buzz about the program anyway. Makes me, a Cal State Fullerton alum who doesn't have a football team to root for in the fall, wonder if yet another California college will opt to drop football and focus more of its resources on basketball instead.

And boots names Cleveland. Browns Stadium opened in 1999. It's *really* getting up there in age and showing wear and tear.

We have some real mensas on this site.

Totally forgot Qualcomm. San Diego was a great site for the Super Bowl last time they were there (Oakland/Tampa), but man that stadium did everything it could to take away the big game feel.

All of the California cities in the NFL need new stadiums. The NFL is used to municipalities bending over backwards to help build shiny new stadiums. The citizens of this state have a real hard time with that.

Most of baseball's stadiums are either aging well, have already been replaced or soon will be.

Except the Florida Marlins.

Cleveland's stadium is one of the newest in the league. The city and its taxpayers bout killed themselves to build one with all the luxury boxes and other bells and whistles necessary to get the Browns back. And Cleveland ain't exactly in a financially sound position as it is. The Browns won't be getting a new stadium for a LOONG time.

 

[JR]

Well, the Rogers Centre aka Skydome has to go.

It was the last multi-purpose stadium built and watching a ball game there (unless it's a sunny day and the roof is open) is akin to watching it in a mausoleum.
