been to the new bernabeu and that place is awesome. although legroom is a bit tight. easy to reach with public transport or cab. bayern munich stadium is quite far out of the city, but it do See More look so bad as it has a massive parking garage compared to those huge open parking lots, and it has a subway train station and is next to the motorway. that would be maybe the closest that comes to mind with some similarity to US stadiums outside the cities.

good video, but a little US context:
1) it doesn't matter as much in the US if the team isn't located in its namesake city because there is no competing team there and most of t See More ts of that area are fans too. Its not like if Manchester United built their new stadium in Stockport, Rochdale or Salford where there are (potentially) competing teams. The fan base of the KC Chiefs, Seattle Seahawks or Denver Broncos for example are like 5 whole states wide and bigger than all of England each. The "Miami" Dolphins might as well just be called the South Florida Dolphins.
2) we have a sh*tload of land here and it is incredibly cheaper to build outside of a major city than in one
3) I wish we had a better transport system here but car is the ONLY way to get around in most of the US. I live in a small Eastern NC town (5,000) outside of a larger one (30,000) and there is no train here, nor even a bus! The closest Amtrak line is an hour and half away - which you have to drive to in your car.
4) you really need to go on a tailgating tour of the US next year. sure there's dudes grilling hot dogs in a parking lot behind their car but a there's a whole culture of people with amazing set ups cooking really great food (often regional favorites) in a comfortable set up while surrounded with their best friends. Is that worse than trying to meet up in some crowded bar? See Less

Stadia is the plural of stadium.

If a word ends in ium, it will follow this rule.

First let me say,I've watched your channel for a few years. As an American,my response is "So What????". I dont get what is the big deal about how European football clubs can& See More new stadiums. For example,i hope Manchester United gets a retractable roof indoor stadium(New Trafford) built right next to Old Trafford. Why can't Chelsea build a new 5 star UEFA stadium at the old Bartersea Power area. Oh noes!!!! They won't have the ground. It's so stupid. See Less

Dog, look at NBA stadiums. We have too many sports to squeeze into cities. American Football isn’t typically played inbetween skyscrapers.
The problem is that YOU can’t comprehend al See More ports See Less

Our car centric infrastructure hurts the look, while tailgating is fun. Taking a train is significantly less of a headache and cheaper. In St. Louis the Metro will take you to Busch Stadium See More u a block away from the hockey arena or CityPark where STL City play. When i lived in DC every stadium was only accessible by driving. Not to mention, the World Cup games will be held in newer NFL stadiums, with the exception of Kansas City. Those stadiums are built to host multiple events and minimalist architecture has been popular in America the past decade and a half. So the stadiums feel like soulless husks because it's cheaper and easier. Sure you'll get some newer stadiums that have flavor and atmosphere, like Pittsburgh, Seattle, Indianapolis, Detriot (made from the reclaimed brick of an old Ford factory where the stadium is at now) and Tampa all come to mind. But the atmosphere and interesting stadiums are usually reserved for baseball or college football. Because those sports are significantly older and started in the community or by students giving them more of a hometown feel. See Less
