Here's a proposed NFL/MLB stadium in Sacramento...

Is this supposed to be what they wanted to do with the Arco Arena site?
They should tear down the trainyards and put an MLS stadium there though, Sacramento would do really well with an MLS team

That would have been an amazingly unique ground. Real shame.

that's going to look like shit in real life

It's a proposal to lure a team in. The city can spend money with the hope of luring a franchise in either the MLB or NFL without building two facilities and convert the park in the OP to either football or baseball once a team has been secured. Still very risky, the Alamodome was built to snag an NFL team and now it's functionally obsolete for that purpose.

Based Gold Miners.

>goofy/unprofitable nature shit
americans, everyone

Having that kind of park space actually greatly opens up the kind of events and activations you can host. Even on a purely utilitarian level your "goofy nature shit" is a valuable asset.

The white Sox were planning on building a new stadium closer to the rest Chicago in the 1980s, but the plan fell through and as a result they wound up with the lifeless mess they play in now. Sketches of the project are pure kino

It’s a massive liability and an impractical waste of perfectly good parking lot space

Raley field is a better stadium than the shithole coliseum, and more people would actually go to games than """""fans"""" in Oakland

It already does, the flats look awful and block the sight of the station, that it is a fucking iconic building in London. There is going to be a mall inside the building, that probably will be cool (at least will give access to the building, that was derelict and it was a shame.)

I think he is saying that it could be used to lure a team from NFL OR MLB and use the stadium for only one of those.

That stadium concept looked so fucking beautiful, I remember when the first renderings came out. A damn shame.

In the 1950’s, in order to keep the Brooklyn Dodgers from moving to LA, plans were developed for a domed stadium at the current site of Barclays Center.

it's sacramento

Well a lot of stadiums aren't built right beside commercial and residential areas because there's enough empty land to build on that costs much less than other areas. Also consider that most US cities don't have extensive public transit. There's only so much a few dozen buses can do. So you end up with a decent number of stadiums that need relatively large parking lots to accomdate all the traffic.

This is actually one of the reasons why I love college stadiums. A lot of stadiums are right in the heart of campus and will have at most 1 parking lot nearby (which is usually reserved for students). My favorites are Alabama's Bryant Denny Stadium and North Carolina's Kenan Memorial Stadium.

don't act like your country's complete lack of infrastructure is a good thing

There is nothing wrong with the Superdome

The Rams fucked St. Louis
>ask for a dome
>get a dome
>10 years later: "this dome sucks"
>city renovates dome
>nice but we're leaving anyway

It has more to do with the sheer amount of space compared to the number of people, and since most American cities are designed around using a car it makes sense that a lot of stadiums are primarily accessible for cars first.

You can't tailgate without parking lots

>He prefers to stuff himself inside a tube and go to the game on someone else's schedule

There's a lot more to it than that. Have you read up on the old Rams training ground that they were able to legally buy for $1? Or the general refusal to work in good faith with the city? Shit still makes my blood boil. And fuck the city too for signing one of the worst deals in pro sports history. And fuck the NFL for the initial "Oh maybe you'll get a team back if you have a stadium" bullshit they never intended to do.

This is what would have been done to AL Lang Stadium if MLS had expanded back into Tampa

Ew, that thing looks nice in the picture but would have an awful gameday atmosphere

>knockoff wrigley field
it would be trashed for being too similar

why

It looks like they took a regular stadium and took off the corners
It wouldn't be really loud and who wants a fancy stadium that is so disjointed?

Also overhit that cross and it lands in the water

Attached: Al-Lang-Stadium-Renovation-2-1024x576.jpg (1024x576, 125K)

By the strict definition of tailgating I suppose you can't, but the majority of tailgating at places like Alabama takes place at tents on the big grass lawn beside the stadium or at fraternity houses. All you really need is a large, open, public space near the stadium that you can set up on in advance.

The absence of corners will let sound travel out easily and it would take away any sense of symmetry. There's nothing wrong with giving a nice view out of the stadium (like with Philadelphia) but that stadium just doesn't translate to a fun atmosphere. It would be a lot better if they had seats going all the way around but sunk the field so you can still view the water behind the seats.

The White Sox have a storied history of proposed stadiums and relocations, only to play on the same street corner for 107 years and counting.

True. If it wasn't for their relocation across the street they would've probably moved to Florida.

Sacramento is a shit town for an NFL team...

people watched the mountain lions for the brief period it existed

Wow that would have been kino but also impractical as fuck

They got greedy and tried to get the most valuable undeveloped real estate in the world.

The platform above the rail yard can only be afforded by massive mixed use development. Hudson Yards is designed to attract major tenants with new construction.

Looks like a gigantic tit desu.

>I just wish minor and independent leagues had more of a following.
You're looking for an impossible
Almost every second rate league in every sport has a shallow fan base, and it has to be that way
Also, American economy is at the dead end at the moment

the indy league team here has a good following, but we don't have an MLB team right next door

Because it takes away from the game...bathe focus should be on the field and the sound of the stadium needs to be contained to create heightened energy.. this is like a deflated balloon and the game would be quite as fuck with the sound escaping

>80% of homerun balls go out into nowhere...
>no prime center-field seats

I imagine the airflow will rob a lot of home-runs

New Orleans shouldn’t have a single major sports franchise

It's also against the rules to have seats in a large portion of Center field

Used to have a beautiful Indy league stadium. But the problem was location. It's in Camden New Jersey

there are zero cow pastures in or around sacramento

To be fair Sacramento should push more for MLS. Natural Nor-Cal Derby with San Jose, Sacramento Republuc get good support, and so on

The Rams? The older than dirt LA Coliseum, made in 1921

That's not why it's against the rules. Most players pull the ball anyway, so homers go to left and right field. Old Yankee Stadium had center field seats, but rules were created so that all fields had a "Batter's Eye".

Attached: 3032.jpg (1000x800, 868K)

beautiful

it's insane that that place is already gone

We have a short-season affiliate for the Rangers in my town, which is odd because Seattle is only a few hours away (I live in Spokane). I don't understand how some franchises can have their minor league clubs so far away from their MLB location.

Honestly, the only problem with Citizens Bank park (Visually) is location. It's good for driving or taking the subway, but the views are non existent. It's what keeps the park squarely in the "average" of park rankings.

Attached: citbank_topv2.jpg (1023x548, 293K)

It’s in Philly. That alone should make ot worst ballpark in MLB.

Of course, they went with the location that provides both car convenience and public transport convenience rather than a view to kill. Sad, but understandable

I'm looking for: that the MLS team is the most important in your entire city or state

that the MLS team is the most popular,
the MLS team is the team with the most championships.
The MLS team has the highest attendance at the stadium
The MLS team is having more fans.
The MLS team is in a city Where Soccer is the most relevant professional sport.
and this in a city where any team of the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL always loses, pathetic, almost without fans, irrelevant and without championship.
