The Stadiums of Columbus!

I helped construct Nationwide Arena, Value City Area, Huntington Park and renovate Ohio Stadium and St John Arena. All the brick around Nationwide Arena and landscaping around the others I did. Thanks for sharing this video!

As a Columbus resident, thanks for doing this! And I actually like our skyline. 😊

Thank you for finally doing Columbus.

Fun fact about St. John from an ohio state student-athlete. The stadium is now a weight room for olympic sports athletes. And the scoreboard is gone. The wood floor is replaced by rubber and scarlet and grey turf. GO BUCKS!

As an old Columbus resident I am glad you included the Barn/Coliseum. That place was a mecca of high school basketball for decades, and I spent many March days and nights in that old drafty place with the wonky floor. It has also hosted monster truck rallies and jet ski races. The Schott, which is how most of us refer to Value City Arena, was a terrible move for OSU basketball. They did fill it up for years, and with a new coach will probably fill it again going forward, but it does not have anywhere near the atmosphere that old St John Arena had. It's funny we were so happy to get a new arena, then when it opened - it was terrible and now most of us old timers desperately want OSU basketball to move back to St John. The lesson here is - spend the money to update a historical basketball arena, but do NOT build a "multipurpose" arena for your basketball team,.

MLSのスタジアムは流石プロ仕様でとてもクールでサッカーを観るスタジアムとして理想的ですね。 Ohioを代表するビッグスタジアムはとてもユニークな形でありながらもどの席からも観やすい配慮がしっかりされているのがまた素晴らしい。

7:37 ah yes, my favorite death metal singer, Dwight Yokum

Historic crew stadium is also home to the Columbus Eagles women's soccer team. Love the videos keep up the good work!

Better punchline is. “i (sic) insure you that this not a Nationwide ad.

Interesting fact about St.John's arena; in the 1980s the university had to forbid the fans from doing the clapping and stomps of Queen's "We Will Rock You" because it matched the resonant frequency of the upper stands raising serious fibrations causing fears that if the fans kept it that the upper seating bowl may collapse.

Who could forget Thomas Valuecity… pronounced vah-loos. Legendary member of the curling team.

OSU lacrosse also has a brand new stadium and as another comment mentions, womens' ice hockey rink is home to some champions too.

Ohio State Marching Band member here. I’ve got a little more information about St. John Arena. As of now, St. John is used pretty much exclusively by the band for a pep rally called Skull Session, which takes place two hours before kickoff on football Saturdays. We play the music to our traditional pregame and our halftime show for the week, both as a rehearsal and concert. Unfortunately, it is due for demolition at the end of the football season, and a new state of the art ice hockey complex will be built in its place.

Bruh, that Kanye joke killed me XD

Wrong C city in Ohio. Comment #12 to get cincinnati next. Also DM for a lost of venues that might get missed.

You forgot the OSU Ice Rink, where the 2024 National Champions, Ohio State Women's Hockey, play.

Sitting right next to the shoe watching this GO BUCKS

Can we get Stadiums of Charlotte next?

So Value City was built with the Blue Jackets in mind, just not in the way you might think; it was Ohio State's last despreate attempt to keep the NHL out of Columbus. They thought that if they built an NHL sized arena and forbade its use by the league, that expansion would die. They didnt predict Nationwide just building an arena anyway

Looking forward to the inevitable Cleveland/Akron video one of these days.
