Teams that Need New Stadiums

    Last week, we saw fans fall at FedEx Field after a barrier broke and they almost landed on Jalen Hurts, who is the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. This has made me think of what teams in sports need new stadiums because their current one is just a dumpster fire. Comment down below what teams you think need a new stadium.

1. Washington Football Team- FedEx FieldWhat do Washington Football plans to invest at FedEx Field mean for new  stadium? | RSN   

    This is an obvious one and probably the worst stadium on this list. I was able to visit FedEx field recently and it is not a great stadium whatsoever. They have had sewage dumped on fans earlier this season and they had fans almost fall on Jalen Hurts this past weekend. The outside of the stadium has visible rust and that is not a good look for the team. One positive of this stadium is that there is parking all around the stadium which some teams do not have but that does not make up for the negatives that the stadium has.

2. Oakland Athletics- RingCentral Coliseum

    Oakland does not want to build any of their teams a stadium. They have already lost the Warriors and Raiders to new cities and now the Athletics could be next if a new baseball stadium is not built. RingCentral Coliseum used to be home to the Raiders as well and that is why there are huge foul territories for the Athletics. This stadium is completely outdated and the city of Oakland needs to make the right decision and build a stadium for the Athletics before they have no professional sports teams.

3. Tampa Bay Rays- Tropicana FieldProps to the Trop: Things you should appreciate about Tropicana Field

    Tropicana Field started out as just a shell when it was built and when Tampa Bay received a team, they built the inside of it. The stadium is just dull and has no charm in it because of this. It kind of looks like they built the stadium and just built a dome around it. Fly balls have even hit the catwalks on the roof which has caused some unusual plays because the ball is still technically in play. There have been rumors of the Rays possibly playing half their games in Tampa and half of them in Montreal which would be a bizarre scenario. If Tampa Bay can just build a brand new stadium, it could save the Rays from moving or playing half of their season in Montreal.

4. Buffalo Bills- Highmark StadiumBills suggest fans arrive Highmark Stadium early for Steelers opener

    This is the best stadium so far on the list and it makes this list because of how old and plain it is. The Bills fanbase is one of the most passionate in all of sports and they deserve a nice stadium to cheer on the Bills. Highmark Stadium is one of the oldest in the NFL and Buffalo needs to help out to build the Bills a new stadium. There has already been rumors about the possibility of the Bills moving to Austin, Texas so the pressure is already on to get a new stadium built.

    I believe that these four teams are next in line for a new stadium and they could be getting one in the next few years. What other teams deserve a new stadium? Comment down below and vote in the poll that is linked!
