When you go see a stadium, you expect a lot of great things to see on the outside, inside and around the stadiums. Unfortunately a lot of stadiums these days don't have enough of that to persuade fans to come and enjoy the game at the stadium. I'm not necessarily saying that all stadiums are bad looking because many of them are nice, but there are many where they have been there for a long time and need to go for a relocation or there just very outdated and there in need to build a new stadium.
We now know a couple of stadiums that are going to be brand new and there going to have a new name. In the National Football League, there are a couple teams that already have a new stadium for the next coming seasons and couple others that are pursuing to get a new one. These National Football League teams are: the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Falcons, San Diego Chargers, and the Oakland Raiders. For the Buffalo Bills, there proposing a new stadium that would be right by the minor league ballpark ( Coca-Cola Field) where the Buffalo Bisons play and not too far either from where the First Niagara Center where it's the home of the Buffalo Sabres National Hockey League team. The Bills stadium now is called Ralph Wilson which is one of the oldest stadiums in the NFL. There definitely in need of a new stadium but for a timetable of a new one is still unknown at the moment. The Los Angeles Rams just came back as a National Football team as they took over the St. Louis Rams from last season. There planning to construct a stadium in Inglewood California that should be ready for the 2019 season. There is also a chance that either the San Diego Chargers or the Oakland raiders will be a sharing a stadium with the Los Angeles Rams once the stadium is built. This stadium should be very nice once the time comes. It will be a multi use complex that will have many luxury and club suites. There planning to have the Super Bowl played at Inglewood Stadium in 2021 and there is also a possibility that they would have some final fours there too as well. The Minnesota Vikings will have a new stadium come next season. For the past two seasons for the Vikings, they played at TCF Bank Stadium which is the home football stadium for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers. I've gotten the chance to see TCF Bank Stadium and it's not a bad stadium to play football at but for the Vikings they probably wanted to move into their new stadium. This stadium might not have the comparison to what AT&T stadium is in Dallas but this stadium is not too behind it in terms of seating and the amount of levels it has to it. What is also cool is that since the stadium is that if it's warm, they'll be able to open up the stadium and from one the end zones you can see the city skyline of Minneapolis. Not only will there will be football games there but there planning to host baseball, basketball, motor-cros, and a lot more other stuff as well. U.S. Bank Stadium is planning to host the Super Bowl in 2018 and the Mens Final Four in 2019.
Some Major League Baseball teams in need of a new stadium are the Oakland Athletics, the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Atlanta Braves. The Athletics currently play at the Oakland Coliseum which is very outdated and its also the home of the Oakland Raiders. It's weird to see when the Raiders play a home game, you can see the dirt of the baseball diamond around the 50 yard line and I just think that there's a reason to why the A's should move. The Tampa Rays are in need of a new ballpark. Ive been outside of tropicana field and I knew for a fact it wouldn't be a great place to watch a baseball game inside the park. Tropicana Field has their own rules including the well known catwalk which is at the top of the dome part of the stadium and its used a lot because players will hit up there once in a while. That shouldn't be needed to determine if you hit a homerun or not if it goes off it. Plus with the warm weather in Florida, many people don't want to be inside to watch a baseball game. The rays are looking at options for a new ballpark around the St.Petersburg area but theres not much certanity until when it will be built and what season the Rays can start playing at their new facility. The Atlanta Braves will be getting a new ballpark soon called Sun Trust Park. They'll be playing in Smyrna Georgia which is right outside of Atlanta
In conclusion, I'll be very curious and excited to see if all these teams will have a new stadium in the near future. Some teams will get ones earlier than later just because the process of building the stadium and the costs of how much it'll be. There will be many teams also who will be looking for a new stadium but it will be hard to where they can put it because a lot of these teams play in cities where space is hard to come by.
