LA, Chicago and New York ... THREE cities that have two MLB teams.
-
Since you ventured out to the Inland Empire you missed 3 minor league ballparks, San Manuel Stadium, LoanMart Field and Lake Elsinore Diamond. Also could've included Auto Club Speedway in Fontana.
-
The baseball field at Pepperdine may have one of the best backdrops in sports. It’s in the Malibu hills and the ocean takes up center field. Worth a visit.
-
You missed two in Long Beach. Blair Field where the Dirtbags play baseball. And Walter Pyramid where The Beach play basketball and volleyball.
-
The attention to detail was unique. Loved the attention to Junior college and college facilities in the area. There will always be oversights because of how many arenas and ballparks there are when you start counting junior colleges and colleges as a whole, but the only 'true' oversight for me was the Pyramid in Long Beach. Probably the most unique looking arena I've come across that has hosted everything in it's history.

Dodger Stadium will always remind me of the broadcasting icon Vin Scully

Dodger Stadium is my favorite stadium in the whole world. With its majestic setting in the Chavez Ravine, outfield view of San Gabriel Mountains, DTLA on the other side, always perfect weather, the most beautiful grass. I remember as a kid moving to Los Angeles from Toronto Canada, and my dad taking me to "The Ravine" for the first time. Just walking out, and seeing that beautiful field, I didn't ever want to leave. OMG what great memories. Rest in peace Dad.

Deep cuts: - Grand Olympic Auditorium (historic L.A. arena; boxing+) - Pico Rivera Sports Arena (rodeo) - Championship Soccer Stadium (USL)
-
Been to them all. Nothing like watching a game in L.A.
-
As an LA native, most of us will always call it Staples Center, never that other name
-
Citrus Stadium has a spectacular view of the San Gabriel Mountains. I covered a football game there about eight years ago, and I can attest to the steep pitch of the seats; absolutely brutal on my shins. It was also home to Azusa Pacific University (NCAA D2) football until a couple of years ago when APU dropped the program as a result of the pandemic.

Amazing details. As a LA Metro native, I was just expecting to see the pro team stadiums and USC/UCLA. I appreciate the love for all the non major college programs like Long Beach, Fullerton, etc. And sports other than football, baseball, soccer, basketball. Also appreciate the arenas not in use by pro teams like Ontario Arena and Long Beach arena The Pyramid in Long Beach would've been cool though!

Well done video, thank you. It's a fact of 21st century life most major city's in North America have multiple stadium/arena venues which at times receive only sporadic use. For some here in Toronto Canada, only two have regular MLB, NHL and NBA tenants, with big concerts seldom performed at Rogers Stadium.
-
Nice video. The LA Coliseum hosted a Nascar exhibition race earlier this year. It was a nice transformation, thought the racing lacked competitiveness.
-
5:34 I went to see a Guns N' Roses/Skid Row concert in the summer of 1991 when it was called "Great Western Forum" and it was blue. Thank you for this video and describing each of the facilities. Every arena and stadium truly has its own unique personality, look and vibe. Too bad the Los Angeles Sports Arena is no longer around for you to have covered. That was a nice arena, almost as big as the Inglewood Forum.
-
Cool thing about the Chapman stadium is that they have all the student and public parking for the school underneath the stadium because of the size constraints as well! Triple layered
-
I love the series so much!
-
Thanks for another great video of the stadiums of LA
-
I miss the old LA Sports Arena (where Banc of California Stadium). The last few years of it's life, it became a dope rave location. Monster Massive and Together As One. That place also had a cool lower plaza area with lots of trees and grass where my friends and I would chill and smoke pot. Fun times.

I'm glad you covered my local stadium!
