The United States is a Sporting Mecca; nearly every state in the country has a major league team in multiple sports. Most states have race tracks and smaller venues as well. However, gone are the days of massive venue construction; in are the days of the ultra-high-def TVs and streaming. Venues are rethinking how many seats they need and adding other revenue streams. Stick and ball, as well as racing venues, are adding things such as larger seating, VIP areas, restaurants, and such.

But many venues still exist from the era of “pack ’em in.” Let’s take a look at the 5 largest in the United States.
