Yeah, somebody did FHSU a while back, but not during a game. If you got pix of dem rabid tiger fans, go for it.

Ugh. Looks like Georgia has made plans to once again do something newfangled and dumb to ruin the classic and clean architectural look of Sanford Stadium. This one's much smaller and less noticeable than their bizarre, Frankenstein'd third deck on the sideline opposite the press box, but it's dumb nonetheless. That copy that their old timey announcer reads during this vid, though? :drool:

I don't really mind this all that much actually.  My bigger gripe is the dumb third deck.

It might not be my favorite college stadium anymore.  (hello Cotton Bowl Stadium)

All of this. (should be a much bigger videoboard, though)

LOL at the folding chairs in the locker room.

Don't most football locker rooms have folding chairs or folding stools? Can't really have laz-y-boys in there for 115 sweaty football players.

It's their game day dressing room.

They have a separate football facility.

That looks exactly like the plan we rejected for our stadium.

Man, I really like Boston College's stade. Like, it might be in my top 10 favorites now.

There's not a give props to other teams stadiums, so I'll put it here.

You wouldn't if you saw it in person. I'm far from the skinny benny school of symmetry but that thing is a mess. They have a dece press box and a nice facade on the south side, end zone, of the stadium. They built their equally awful basketball/hockey arena into the side of the building. It's essentially a collection of a bunch of metal bleached seating areas. To put a cheap as cherry on a cheap ass stadium sundae, they put a bubble on their actual field and use that for an indoor facility

You're both right. I've been there, and the design is cool, but the IRL is a tad underwhelming. But only a tad. I mean, the press box turning into the basketball/hockey arena thing is weird as hell, there's absolutely no doubt about that. But in general, I still like the stade, metal bleachers or not. (NOTE! I care less about how "fancy" the bleachers and amenities are than I do about the design, shape of the bleachers, balance of the stadium, etc.)

SB always seems to be a couple of laps down.

https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/bcnews/athletics-recreation/department-news/fish-field-house.html

I also know that SB's roots are at ol K-State where they plop stadiums down out in the middle of corn fields and then essentially build out to it, but BC is in a fringe urban setting and surrounded by urban conservation areas and neighborhoods.

Wut? What am I missing here? You posted a link to the Fish Field House, which is their new football practice facility, but they're still very much using the Conte Forum (attached to Alumni Stadium press box) for basketball and hockey. :confused:

I'm guessing he meant that for me because I was making fun of BC for putting a bubble on Alumni Stadium.

And yes, that is their entire basketball arena under that press box. It's really small and crappy, bad for hockey too. Dugout's Terriers have a much better basketball/hockey setup

I can't stop looking at college hockey arenas now, only one I've ever been in is Denver. These things are great... But looking, and I've come to realize that Ahearn would be an awesome college hockey arena. BRING GAMES BACK TO AHEARN!!!

Also, how weird is it that college hockey rinks can be different sizes?

Like, hey, we want to play a different style of basketball, or we're just gonna widen the court by like 10 feet or so.

Dang, is that true? LCHIQ here. I thought baseball was the only sport that allowed that kind of malarkey.

FIFA allows soccer fields to vary by 10 yards in width or length.
