WOAH
Are there any big stadiums that are in nice areas?
Americans be like>where are all the parking lots?
>Americans have to fly for 7 hours to attend home games
>>151057442>Because of that buy-in, Goodell reiterated that he would like there to be 16 international games so each team plays in one per year.kwab
>>151056555genau
>>151056494too expensive to buy land in places like Beverly Hills, Paris' 7th arrondissement, Vancouver West Side, District 7 in Zurich - even if the FIFA HQ is there lol
It's as if they ran out of money to finish the last section. Can some Irish person explain the thought process behind this ugly architecture?
>>151058986holy souli wish i was American
>>151058986
>>151059720The reason seems pretty clear in that picture.
>>151059807>Baseball Probably built when american cities had some SOVL.
>>151059832They could have built stands on top of the railway track.
>>151058986literally subway station in your picand then this is below the picture
A Chicagoan here, all of our stadiums and areas, except for the Bears', are located in neighborhoods, even with parking lots.
>>151059720Hill 16 is deliberate and has more history than most American stadiums combined. If you think it looks unfinished that’s on you for not knowing what you’re looking at.
>>151059720what's with ireland and building stadium stands on top of railroads?
>>151060465from what I know, Irish zoning laws are completely fucking retarded
>>151059953the automobile industry and its consequences have been a disaster for the american race
>>151060700Doesn't help that our country is huge.
>>151056397what do they eat?
>>151060768the destruction of our cities was because of the automobile industry (and also racism but that's a whole different story)there's no reason we can't have cities with walkable and livable downtowns and still have our modern highway system between those cities

>>151059953yeah it was definitely the streetcars...>Troost Avenue was once the eastern edge of Kansas City, Missouri and a residential corridor nicknamed Millionaire Row. It is now widely seen as one of the city's most prominent racial and economic dividing lines due to urban decay, which was caused by white flight.[26][27] During the civil rights era the city blocked people of color from moving to homes west of Troost Avenue, causing the areas east of Troost to have one of the worst murder rates in the country. This led to the dominating economic success of neighboring Johnson County.[28]>In 1950, African Americans represented 12.2% of Kansas City's population.[20] The city's most populous ethnic group, non-Hispanic whites,[29] declined from 89.5% in 1930 to 54.9% in 2010.[20]
>>151058986>subway stop directly at the stadium>no traffic in residential areas or other parts in the citythis is literally peak city planning
isn't the bears new stadium in arlington heights like this?
>>151060050>>151060872Euros always get silent when this is brought up
>>151060856>Troon Avenue
>>151060838Cities are already walkable and putting in a professional stadium that covers multiple city blocks and is closed most days of the year isn't good planning you momo>>151061352Like now, lol
>>151062490>Cities are already walkablesome of them are. most aren't. we used to have many more than we do now, but it all got bulldozed over for highwaysi don't care about where the stadiums are i'm talking about cities in general, not stadium shit
>>151060856>During the civil rights era the city blocked people of color from moving to homes west of Troost Avenue, causing the areas east of Troost to have one of the worst murder rates in the country.How on earth does the second part follow from the first?! That's an insane sentence. Blacks were barred from living on the west side of town so they settled the east side and instead of making the best of it, they decided to murder each other at above war zone levels. This is the fucking gaslighting of our history we are forced to put up with for some reason even though anyone who has ever interacted with blacks in any major city knows is bullshit.
>>151059953crazy roads where that wide for all through traffic before parking cars on both sides narrowing down the middle started.
>>151056555Well yeah. Where do you guys do tailgates and hang out afterwards?
>>151063783they go to the pub
>>151060207>and has more history than most American stadiums combinedoi m8 ye loike when mcivory beat mcilory and mcdonald beat mcmurray so much history innit
>>151062964Don't stab someone over it, LeQuincy.
>>151056555>>151060207WRONG!
>>151062610>some of them are. most aren't.What you mean is a lot of cities don't meet your own personal criteria. No one cares, bitch
>>151064674That just a dump in a middle of a small town
>>151056494River Plate's Monumental and São Paulo's Morumbi come to my mind.
>ynr Luton
>>151067940The most based
>>151056494>Are there any big stadiums that are in nice areas?Craven Cottage
>>151074129>capacity under 30kNot exactly big.
>>151074199Its big enough
>>151056397You ever been to Foxboro?
>>151064952I care. You seem satisfied with how things are. I like what he is saying more.
>>151056397YOU'VE GOTNO CHANCENO CHANCE IN HELL
>>151056555Hilarious wow you must be the first to every come up with that one you bitch made faggot.
>>151058986>Finance Firm Field>Finance Firm Center>Finance Firm Park>Telecomunications Service Philadelphia>Telecomunications Service Station
>>151056494
>>151056555They're thinking about us again, Americhads
>>151076275Many such cases
Oracle Park has a pretty cool location
>>151056397In America, touching a sporting venue is like touching an ancient temple, a holy places where they worship their gods
>>151060838Hope you get ran over
>>151060838>le racism grow up
>>151074206For you.
>>151076345how's the 5g reception in the trenches, vatnik?
>>151076661Mыкoлa, пoчeмy нe пoд Изюмoм, лoл?
>>151060465They fixed this with the Aviva, but the Aviva in itself is a bigger mistake. Croke park is also built on top of the canal.>>151060628True.>>151060805Overpriced but OK foods. No pretzels at ghe match unlike at the college one (big downgrade).>>151056494The Aviva is around the posh wanker part of Dublin (Ballsbridge).
>>151060207the IRA blow it off
>>151076379>robert moses was actually unbiased!holy
>>151061352>>151060050this doesn't make the stadiums not surrounded by massive empty lots though
>>151060768russia and china are even bigger and seem to pull off public transit without an issue
>>151060768that's irrelevant though? we choose not to have density because of auto manufacturing
>>151074253Pathetic samefagging
>>151056494murrayfield in edinburgh.
>>151059953>now 5 centsimagine an economy so stable it made sense to build a new bullboard to tell people how much your cigars cost everywhere they are sold
>>151077397lol, lmao even
>>151057442My sister lives a mile away from an NFL stadium. I'm literally not allowed to walk into the stadium during games. Every other time it's fine but the kikeFL needs me to pay for parking for security reasons
>>151077397You live in a city or in a village and you're never leaving either one.
>>151079576lol how the fuck can they force you to take a car
>>151080563Seven, six, two, millimeter. Full. Metal. Jacket.
>>151059953>Must of been during soul eraOh shi
>>151077233>NFL decides to have a game in Australia>Star QB gets killed by a platypus
>>151080563he is just a retard repeating some dumb shit he saw online, notice how he starts with his sister and then says "I'm not"the only place where something like that is outside NYC where a hotel was built across a highway from the stadium and expected the city to build a special bridge just for the hotel
>>151076218nigga its not like we are any different>insurance arena >pharmaceutics arena>chocolate cookies stadium >arena homebuilder
>>151060872>this is literally peak city planningShow me the bicycle parking facilities then
>>151081450bicycles are anti-pedestrian, cities should be mostly be based around trains and walking
>>151081882
>>151059807holy shit how old is this photo? that neighborhood looks completely different now
>>151060465>>151081450When the Irish and Dutch come together magic can happen
>>151082108imagine cyclist insinuating that SOME ELSE is gay and not them
Pittsburgh's stadium setup with the actual city is pretty awesome.
>>151081528Kino
>>151058986yuros will never experience this much FREEDOM
>>151056494Yes :) my shitters'. My parents house is in the area on the bottom right corner. Nice houses there, a giant park next to the stadium, other sporting fields and a big museum across the road. Its wedged between two historically rather rich parts of Mannheim overall. First time Im thinking about how comfy it is
>>151082336Baseball diamonds? Neat. How often do those get used?
>>151081450there are several at each stadium/arena
>>151082650It's near to a former US base (Coleman Barracks) so there's for sure some "Baseball culture" left.
>>151056494HSV‘s Volksparkstadion (capacity of 60,000) is in a good neighborhood in Hamburg, inside a large park (the Volkspark). The public transit could be better and will only be updated in like 10 years at best, but in terms of location, it is pretty idealThe club’s new stadium will apparently be built there as well. The current Volksparkstadion is relatively old and too small for today’s standards.
>>151056397American urban design is one of the greatest tragedies of mankind.
>>151056494the Weserstadion in Bremen sits right along the main river in a very nice neighbourhood (in which I grew up)
>>151056494Nice area ... hard to say. But I struggle thinking about stadiums in bad areas as well. Most stadiums I can think of are somewhat near the city center (good), often in or near park areas (good), and seldomly in poor or run-down neighborhoods, but usually not in very high-class areas either unless the stadiums are very old
>>151082240I'm not a cyclist, just someone who rides a bikecyclists are anorexic looking queers who like holidays in france and cuckoldrynot dissimilar to people who like walkable cities™
>>151082650>>151082868Apparently we are good at it. When I was a child some of my friends played and dominated the league
>>151083049>noooo you must let the city get flooded oh my walkability
>>151082650It's the home ground of the Mannheim Tornados, the record champion of the German Baseball league (now called DBL) with 10 titles. Mannheim also produced four other German baseball champion teams, more than anyone else. So you'd expect there to be quite a bit of baseball culture ... going by German standards. But the Tornados and Mannheim as a whole haven't won a title since 1997 and are not part of the first tier anymore: they got relegated for the first time in 2023
>>151085240this but unironically
