Stadiums in Film: Stadium Locations in Movies and TV

[Indiana Jones]

Naked Gun, hilarious, was filmed at Dodger Stadium. Queen Elizabeth II is attending a California Angels game on her visit to the US. Lt. Frank Drebin is assigned to protect her while avoiding his own unit assigned to arrest him. Drebin goes undercover as the umpire. He finds out just in time that Reggie Jackson had been programmed to assassinate the Queen and he saves her life.



I can't find other pics.

[Walbanger]

'The Last Boy Scout' and 'Heaven can wait' use the LA Coliseum.

'The Might Ducks 2' used Arrowhead Pond or whatever its called now.

'Any Given Sunday' use the Orange Bowl, Dolphins Stadium (said to be in New York) and Texas Stadium.

'Friday Night Lights' used the Astro Dome.

'The Program' used William Brice Stadium.

'Sudden Death' a Van Damme movie is set in the Mellon Arena.

The Replacements was filmed at then PSINET Stadium (now known as M&T Bank Stadium) in Baltimore, home of the Ravens. However, in the movie, the setting was Washington D.C.

[Beware]

ANOTHER 70's action/suspense movie (below). This one filmed at Miami's, famous, Orange Bowl. The movie was about a terrorist plot set to happen during Super Bowl X.

[Overground]

Classic football film and fan favourite, 'Escape to Victory' with Michael Caine and Sylvester Stallone.
The Nazi Germany v the Allies match was supposed to be at Colombes stadium in Paris but it was actually filmed
at MTK stadium in Budapest. It's pretty much still the same as the movie but more deteriorated. The gate they go
through at the end is still there but has been replaced with something less ornate.

All High Stadium with a little Hollywood magic (it never had an upper deck)

The Oval Sports Centre of Bebington, Merseyside, England, UK, filling in for Colombes Stadium, Paris, 1924 in CHARIOTS OF FIRE.

I believe the Univ. of Alabama, Birmingham field for FORREST GUMP.

The first ROLLERBALL was filmed in the both the Olympic-Basketball Hall and Olympic Velodrome of Munich.

The movie "Dirty Harry" with Clint Eastwood -which generated several sequels- had a crucial scene filmed at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco.

Not forgetting the scene at Yankee Stadium from 'Die Hard with a Vengeance' where Samuel L. Jackson didn't get shot* by a sniper.

*I know it may be a spoiler, but surely everyone's seen this by now! :-)

The movie SELENA with JLo filmed the her last concert in the Alamodome in San Antonio. TX, but it really was in Astrodome, Houston, TX.

[larsul]

In the seventies, there was a film called Omega Man with Charlton Heston (which is an earlier version of I am Legend).
there's a scene where he is going to be killed by the "brotherhood" (vampires in the movie I am Legend) in the Coliseum of Los Angeles but then he is rescued by some humans.

[Big Texan]

Texas Stadium

Any Given Sunday
Used as the Home Stadium for the Dallas Knights v the Miami Sharks

Invincible
Texas Stadium shot

TV series Friday Night Lights
Championship games were accurately played in Texas Stadium, unlike in the movie where the game is played in the Astrodome, not Texas Stadium, which soured a bunch of people close to the sotry.

I believe it was Montreal's Olympic Stadium.

Love how you can clearly see an open-air stadium in the fly-over, but it's obviously a dome inside.

[EADGBE]

There's a scene in 'When Harry Met Sally' where the guys go to a game at Giants Stadium. Couldn't find a picture...
