Bird's Eye Views of Stadiums and Arenas

Top AirVuz contributor Sky Candy Studios brings us this stunning first person view (FPV) drone video from Chicago's fabled Wrigley Field.  The video opens with some shots of the area around the stadium, which lies on the city's North Side.  At about the 1:35 mark, you'll head into the stadium itself, which opened in 1914 and has been the home of Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs since the 1920's.  With current capacity of just over 41k, Wrigley Field was designated a National Historical Landmark in 2020.   

Legendary first person view (FPV) pilot JohnnyFPV has probably done more than anyone on the planet to introduce highly cinematic FPV footage into the main stream.  Whether it's filming commercials for Porsche or shooting FPV footage for the big-budget feature film Red Notice, he is at the forefront of this emerging art form.  No surprise then that he was tapped by the National Football League to help create promotional footage for the 2022 Pro Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, some of which you'll see in this epic video. 

Here's an epic dronelapse view of New York's Yankee Stadium, compliments of contributor and drone pilot Invincible Storm Films.  Home of the most storied team in Major League Baseball, the stadium is situated in the southern part of the Bronx and adjacent to the original 1920's era Yankee Stadium.  Opened in 2012, the stadium seats just over 47,300 fans.  The new version of the House that Ruth Built cost about $2.3 billion to build, making it (easily) the most expensive sports venue in history.    

Situated in East Rutherford, New Jersey, just outside of New York City, Met Life Stadium is home to both the New York Jets and Giants National Football League teams.  It seats 82.5k fans for regular NFL games.  By building a stadium for both teams to share, the immense construction costs (US$1.8 billion, a record for a new stadium) could be spread over twice as many home games.  In this video, contributor All Island Aerial flies his drone over this behemouth venue to create this amazing bird's eye view! 

Here's a nice aerial view of Levi's Stadium in south San Francisco Bay, compliments of contributor caldroneflyer.  Opened in 2014, the 68,500 seat stadium is the home of the San Francisco 49ers, one of the most storied teams in the National Football League.  It's located in the town of Santa Clara, just north of San Jose.  The stadium replaced Candlestick Park just south of the city of San Francisco, which had also been the home of the San Francisco Giants Major League Baseball team until 2000.  

Brand-new AirVuz contributor and pilot Above Summit brings us this fantastic drone video of Boston's Fenway Park, home of Major League Baseball's Boston Red Sox.  The video was shot on the snowy opening day of the 2019 season, which was (fortunately) an "away" game for the Sox.  Opened in 1912, MLB's oldest ballpark is also one of its smallest, with a seating capacity of only 37k.  Located in the Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood along the Charles River, the park was the filming location for the climax of the crime thriller the Town (2010).

St. Louis, Missouri is one of the USA's great baseball towns; its hometown St. Louis Cardinals are one of the oldest teams in Major League Baseball and have won 11 World Series championships through 2018.  In this drone video by contributor mavictraveler, you'll get a bird's eye view of the home of the Cardinals since 2016: Busch Stadium.  Opened in 2006 on the site of the prior field of the same name, Busch Stadium currently seats about 45.5k fans.  It's situated on the southern fringe of downtown.

Empower Field at Mile High is the latest name for the home field of the Denver Broncos of the National Football League.  Located just southwest of downtown, the 76k seat stadium opened in 2001.  It's gone under several different names, most of which were variations on the name of the Broncos' first home field: Mile High Stadium, in reference to the city's elevation of over 5k ft. (around 1.6k meters) above sea level.  Check out the home of the 3x Super Bowl champions from above in this drone video by Blaze.  

AirVuz contributor hankstahlecker brings us this marvelous one-shot drone view of San Francisco's Oracle Park, the home field of the city's San Francisco Giants Major League Baseball team.  The stadium was named Pac Bell Park when it opened in 2000 and for nearly two decades thereafter until Oracle acquired naming rights in 2019.  The video ends with a dramatic pullback shot over the San Francisco Bay (which lies immediately to the east of the stadium), revealing the city's Financial District to the north of Oracle Park.

The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is one of the most storied sports venues in the USA.  Built in the 1920's, it was expanded to be the prime venue for the 1932 Summer Olympics, a role it replayed when LA hosted its second Olympics in 1984.  At times, it was also home to the LA Rams and Raiders of the National Football League, all the while the home field of the storied University of Southern California (USC) football team.  In this video, DeeFair23 gives us a bird's eye view of the great sports venue.

It's gone by several names, but since 2000 the ballpark now known as Minute Maid Park has been the home of Major League Baseball's Houston Astros.  Located on the eastern edge of downtown, the retractable-roof stadium seats just over 41k fans.  The Astros moved here after playing for over 30 years at the multi-purpose Astrodome, and in 2017 they became the first Texas team to win a World Series title.  Nicknamed the Juice Box, you can check it out from above in this drone video by Lone Star Drones.
