All these rich people wasting their own money on these stadiums is one thing. But when you use billions of dollars in tax revenue only to abandon a stadium after about 25 years, that's truly robbing the American people. If I'm paying for the stadium, at least build a good one.

I agree with you guys, that's what I'm saying. A few stadiums have been built recently that didn't use public funds. If those stadiums have problems, it's not good for the fans, but at least we didn't pay for it. But when stadiums are publicly funded, they owe it to us as the taxpayers to not waste our money and build a good stadium.

@@zachbush7923If you look at FedEx Field, they originally had higher attendance expectations, and they were indeed selling all those seats. After a while, the demand dropped off, and they had to do something. Now, the way they chose to handle that problem left a lot to be desired. There were better solutions, like removing the whole upper deck on one side.

Went to Soldier Field for a Champions League summer showcase game. Obviously the atmosphere wasn’t the same not being a Bears game but definitely one of the worst stadiums I’ve ever been to. It’s like the stadium is suffering from an identity crisis. They wanted to keep the history of the old soldier field by keeping the columns but wanted a newer cutting edge renovation, both parts are holding the other part back. The new part overshadows the columns, whereas the new section wasn’t fully realized because the columns were kept.

"A giant oval bowl of seats. Which is a terrible design." In fairness that design was pretty common up until the past 15 to 20 yrs. The trend of opening one or both ends of the stadium is pretty recent.

First! Also the Videotron Arena was specifically built to attract the Nordiques back. But we got Buttman'd. As a Montrealer, I prefer the Videtron Arena over the Bell Centre. Finally the Commanders are likely to get a new stadium on the RFK site. They started demolition of RFK. And with the new owner, DC's interest in a new stadium is back. Just please don't build the new stadium in Maryland. Either DC or Virginia

I've always wondered why if these rich team owners needed money for these stadiums and wanted to avoid public tax money, why don't they straight up start a GoFund Me page and ask for donations.

You'd need to cut Soldier Field to about whatever capacity Chicago Fire FC games can draw realistically week after week. They already have their old stadium with a smaller capacity and are likely going to want the capacity to be substantially more than that, which is why they moved into Soldier Field in the first place.

Soldier Field was a waste because they should have incorporated the old Soldier Field as a entrance rather than being isolated from the new stadium , in Toronto they built the new hockey arena on the site of the Canada Post Delivery Building and it's from 1941 so they retained the outside walls from the postal building so it's incorporated in a really cool way

The city needed a new one to at least be considered for a team, either through expansion or relocation. They haven't gotten an expansion yet b/c the cost to get one is through the roof now, made worse by the value of the Canadian dollar being terrible. The likely route to take, relocation... well, when those opportunities do arise (few and far between to begin with), it's been "Take a number." Some were saying Winnipeg weren't getting a team back, but did. So never say never.
