DRAMATIC Stadium Transformations

The metrodome went under a traumatic transformation in about 3 seconds

Who doesn't love hearing about the Los Angeles Angels of Anahiem California Angels

Providence park is another good one. Formerly Jeld-Wen Field; PGE Park; Civic Stadium; originally Multnomah Stadium; and from 1893 until the stadium was built, Multnomah Field. It used to be the field of the Portland Beavers baseball team until the MLS Timbers took over the stadium. As you can imagine it's changed drastically over the last 100+ years.

Ever since I saw the tweet about this, I have been so excited for the video. So I’m going to go cook some popcorn and watch this now…

Interesting vid. It is missing, however, one of the most remarkable stadium transformations of the last 25 years. Constructed as an Olympic Track and Field stadium with the intention to be converted to baseball when the games were over, Turner Field in Atlanta was The Home of the Braves for over 20 years. When the Braves moved to their new stadium in the suburbs, Turner Field was sold to Georgia State University and converted to serve as their home football stadium. Top down views of the site in each of these three configurations are fascinating.

A movie featuring the Angels: filmed at Dodger Stadium The Dodgers: You could not live with your failure, and where did that bring you? Back to me! And they didn't add just any old rocks to Angel Stadium, they added freakin' geysers with real trees, a stream cascading down it, and fireworks shooting out of it. And that's on top of changing the view back to the original to pay homage. All thanks to the magic of Disney's Imagineers. Disney is blessed with have such talented people working for the company

Love how the Carrier Dome was included

Beaver Stadium at Penn State underwent a massive transformation over about ten years in the 80's and 9o's. It used to be about 40,000 to 109000. You could see the dairy farms and such outside the seats when on tv.

Appreciate you putting the Carrier Dome in here. Everybody looks at the obvious upgrades: roof, scoreboard and AC, but I had no idea how bad the lighting used to be until I saw some games with the new ones. They're actually still renovating as we speak. Concourse is getting upgraded and there are talks of getting real seats to replace the current bleachers.

Hard Rock Stadium is by far the most impressive upgrade. It looks like a completely different stadium and is beautiful as well as functional since it provides a lot of shade in the hot Florida sun. The Texas A&M stadium was hugely improved too, looks great.

Fun fact about kyle field’s 2015 renovation. A roof was added at such an angle that the chants from the student section would be at a louder decible at field level to throw off the opponent. I go to school in A&M and every game is amazing. (But bama was special)

No other stadium has a legendary name quite like Gaylord

"scoreboard and pavilion" as a packers fan I feel attacked

Omg! I didn't know Carrier Dome finally got renovated! That means only the Tokyo Dome remains as the only air supported roof structured dome!

Could’ve looked into other sports as well for amazing examples. Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon and Hilmer Lodge Stadium in Walnut, CA have gone through insane transformations.

Why isn't Lambeau Field on this? The early 2000s renovation alone is worth acknowledging.

Another good one in the same state as the Gaylord Family stadium is Boone Pickens Stadium at OKSTATE. Renovations closed in the west end zone, added a club and suite level, changed the outside to brick to match the campus while still using the old north and south grandstands. The east end zone has the basketball arena that also went through its own renovation that more then doubled capacity

Liberty has such a nice stadium. Got to play there for a band competition and it was huge!

How do you not include Fenway Park, with all the gradual and radical transformations since 1912, including the addition of the Williamsburg bullpen in the 1940, the raising of the press boxes to include the glass-enclosed 600/.406 club seats in the 1990s and the addition of seating on the Green Monster, right field roof, luxury boxes, roof seating across the entire upper deck, the transformation of the 600/.406 club into open seating and so on since the early 2000s all while maintaining its general shape?
