The US has the benefit of being so bloody big and having lots of space. And they are happy to drive many miles to get anywhere. So if they want a new ground they build it miles away, surround it with acres of car parks and the customers seem happy to accept the change. Some of the car parks are so big it's almost like walking from WB to Toton!
We talk of moving less than ten miles and the heavens fall in. The Yanks make do without a Greggs or chippie being handy by taking a complete BBQ set in the back of the pick up truck.
We drive miles for the American football stadiums usually. A lot of our NHL NBA MLB and MLS stadiums are in or near enough a large city, think Oracle park for the San Francisco giants.
Tailgating is an extremely fundamental aspect of being American tho, glad you mentioned it. But, our stadiums are usually choke full of food options so there’s no need for a grocery chain.
I am not happy that the San Francisco 49ers decided to build a new stadium 40 miles south of where it used to be, in a completely different county god damn it. Plus, in a flight path so they can’t build a damn retractable roof so half the stadium cooks during the day.
