ITT We Laugh At Other Pud Teams' Pud Stadiums/Arenas

[Big Sam]

Hate to see our gorillas go down like that in week one. #GorillaFamily

Really appreciate all the weird CMSU pix tom. Will get a better look later when I have more time. Until then...


check out the Tacoma Dome! It is WEIRD!

Had a friend that went to a concert there back in 1985.  When he told me at the time, I thought "Cool.  A concert in a dome."  He told me, "No dude.  Utterly F'ed up."  He tried to explain why, but I never really understood at the time.  Now, after seeing the above pic, I finally get it.  Woof!

It looks like one of those giant space stations where the planet is on the inside.

Do they play football in that thing?  I am guessing a lot of punts get lost in that background...

That's pretty cool for Alabama state

[Shooter Jones]

That's pretty cool for Alabama state

yup, v. cool little stade for bama state. Much better than KU's.



and since we're playing Charlottesville, here's their new little stade.

[cfbandyman]

Agreed, very solid stadium. Their EZ could use some work or at least something simple to make it more than just some patchy grass but overall good for them.

[mocat]

whoa i can't believe an FCS school has a stade that nice

[cfbandyman]

That Charlotte one too 

Both should be proud of the houses they've built

At first I couldn't tell if they had any sort of fence/parapet/barrier between the concourse and the stands. Upon further investigation there is a little fence that goes around and it appears to be all of about 30" tall. So if the purpose is to protect you from the ~3' drop into the seating bowl then it's completely worthless for that unless you are a small child.

[Shooter Jones]

Looks like the Charlotte one was built bare bones, with phases depending on how well the program takes off. Think this is the best case.



It's no hill, but they have a pretty decent view on one end.

South Alabama actually has a pretty large stadium. It's not the stadium you posted, but it's not bad.

It is very KSU cats circa 1980s

Meh, the University of South Alabama (aka USA #1) is named Ladd-Peebles Stadium (LOLOL) and seats 33,000. Kinda forgot they were playing there. I've only been by there at night, but from outside of the stade it looked like a complete dump, and I usually don't call stades that unless they are legitimate dumps like the Liberty Bowl or KU's. Very Wooftown, USA.

That Alabama State one is really ridiculous and incredible for a I-AA team. I remember driving down whatever interstate goes next to it a few years ago on a road trip and immediately had a conniption fit in the car at how sweet it was. 'Grats Alabama State, you've earned it.

Here's where SB ranks the 6 decently-known stades in Alabama from best to worst:

1. Alabama State
2. Troy
3. Wherever they play the Blue-Gray game or w/e
4. Jordan-Hare
5. Bryant-Denny
6. Ladd-Peebles

Charlotte seems so KSU Stadium 1970s

God. What a great midfield that was. Filled in white circle with a lavender old school wildcat head in it.

[SdK]

Turf looked awful though

[SkinnyBenny]

because it was grass?

[The Big Train]

wrong account reno

[SdK]

because it was grass?

Because it looks like it says ?OMDAD.

[SkinnyBenny]

What could possibly be a Band Day routine that would've necessitated that formation? Looking for confirmation from dax or cyclistqat, who were probably like a sophomore second chair clarinets at MOM DAD '68.

That was a joke that landed well by myself.
