Memorial Stadium (Kansas):
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.bleacherreport.net%2Fimages_root%2Fslides%2Fphotos%2F000%2F359%2F800%2F92390168_display_image.jpg&hash=b27c92ea5ed83f8cea49e4934e398d9de5c2a05d)
When making a list of Big 12 venues to visit, Memorial Stadium in Lincoln or Norman may easily top the list, but Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas might at first seem like a less desirable destination. That just might prove to be a mistake.
Regardless of the Jayhawks' performance on field, Kansas fans continue to flock to Memorial in droves. 2009 represented a struggling Jayhawk squad who managed only five wins (after a stunning 12 win season only two years prior) but still averaged 50,581 fans in a stadium that holds 50,071.
Built in 1920 to honor Kansas students who died in World War I, Memorial Stadium is a tremendous college football venue. The University of Kansas may be overlooked as a basketball school that is mildly interested in its football when in reality it is a hotbed of fanaticsm for both sports.

QFT. "Underrated" is usually a backhanded compliment bordering on an insult. Like, "Hey you aren't nearly as stupid as I thought you were", or "Your sister's herpes don't burn that badly"
-
The new videoboard does look good . . . but it is kind of funny seeing Kivisto's name up there considering he hasn't given ku all the money he promised, and he's inline to become the second name associated with a ku sports facility to go to prison.
-
Memorial Stadium in Lawrence is one of the best stadiums around.
What other BCS school allows visiting fans to take over the stadium year in year out?
Answer? None.
One of a kind, that stadium.

Awful nice of KU to add that new screen so visiting fans can watch their team ass rape KU in HD.

Washington's is pretty sexy

Washington's stadium is rough ridin' amazing. Sweet ass mountains on one side and a sweet ass lake full of sweet ass boats on the other side. :love:
-
When you look at Husky Stadium you fully understand how everything else in the Big 12 except CU sucks in comparison . . . and no, the stupid f'ing hill and the scum covered pond at ku doesn't even come close.
-
True, but you could say the same about the majority of stadiums out there compared to UW's. Pretty hard to beat the lake/mountain combo.
-
Regardless of the Jayhawks' performance on field...
Ouch.
-
Husky Stadium is spectacular, it doesn't even matter that they also have a track around their field.
-

Well done sir...well done.
-

Yeah, the high school track is somewhat less high schoolish partly due to the perfectly framed view of Mt. Ranier on the horizon and Lake Washington chalked full of million dollar yachts 100 feet from the endzone.

Husky Stadium's scenery is tight. Its atmosphere is bogus. Good luck getting hostile with that track in the way (check out how far back those horrid end zone seats are). Plus, nobody in Seattle really gives a crap.

Wash's stadium and campus is amazing. Their administration building makes Anderson look like a lesbian armpit. Big open field in front of it looking out over a view of Mt. Ranier. Considering Ranier is about 4X the height of any other mountain in the area, it really stands out for an amazing view. Flights in get great views of it and St. Helens.

I am glad someone posted this. Husky stadium is an absolute dump. It has an unbelievable atmosphere and crowd, but they aren't starting a multi-million renovation because it doesn't need it.
As for the view, notice most pictures are from the air, not from a typical seat.

Never thought I'd see ku celebrate being named to a list of stadiums that aren't as awful and shitty as everyone assumed.
-
That list does have a fair amount of credibility, with the wing joint joke in the middle of it. That, and this disclaimer:
First, it seems prudent to mention that selecting every “underrated” place to watch a college football game is virtually impossible as the landscape of our nation is literally covered with such meccas.
Additionally, the selection of “preferred” venues is obviously a highly subjective task. What one considers a gold mine another might deem a fully soiled portable toilet.
Regardless, the following 25 football destinations (listed in no particular order) may not be on anyone’s “bucket list” and planning a visit may seem like a waste of precious resources and time.

Pretty sure we were the #18 toughest place to play on NCAA 04 or 05. Not bad for a stadium that seats barely over 50,000 people.

Eh, take away the giant temporary looking video board and I think Pitt St.'s looks better. I still think Cessna Stadium in Wichita is your most comparable if they'd put down some artificial turf. FYI Beems, that would be the stadium of the school that hasn't had a football team since, well, Lew Perkins was their AD.

Eh, take away the giant temporary looking video board and I think Pitt St.'s looks better. I still think Cessna Stadium in Wichita is your most comparable if they'd put down some artificial turf. FYI Beems, that would be the stadium of the school that hasn't had a football team since, well, Lew Perkins was their AD.
Carnie Smith Stadium at Pitt State has an HD video board now. Fairly sizeable too, and they've had it a year or two. How long has KU had theirs?

It's offensive to Pitt State to have their stadium compared to embezzler field in Lawrence.

Husky stadium is getting a big renovation in 2012. Was just there this weekend. Amazing place.

Will LOL if K-State completes its West Stadium renovation before ku gets the Gridiron Club built.

I would argue that both Blue Valley District stadiums are better than Memorial Stadium.
100% serious.

I went to the Harvard-Yale game at Yale last November. Even with an absolutely crazy finish, it was a garbage facility. I mean a bad place to watch a game.
Still better than KU. I mean, Yale Bowl is over 80 years old and even it doesn't have a track.

Went to Harvard-Yale (with a Harvard girl), at Harvard. "cute" stadium. Not an ugly one like almost everyone west of Blacksburg.

Very nice.....
-
Even with it being 80 yrs old, I would have assumed Yale's stadium would be very nice. Lotta rich ass people sitting in those stands.
-
It's an unusual enough setting to be worth doing once. The pitch of the stands is really low, which makes it pretty impossible to see if you're in the end zones. The seats were made before Americans grew big fat asses and crazy long legs, so if it's half-full it's super uncomfortable. Which I guess is cool with me, even though I'm 6'3". I'd usually prefer to be uncomfortable if it meant I was watching a game in a super historic stadium....unless that stadium has a track and horrible sightlines.
The Yale Bowl's charm is that you feel like you're going back in time. There is no jumbotron, no massive soundsystem blaring Seether, and no advertisements. Anywhere. None. It's absolutely crazy how weird it is to not be bombarded with a KStateCars.com commercial playing way too loud during a timeout. So that's nice. Other than that, the people at those games DO. NOT. GIVE. A. crap. I was there when they were playing freakin' HARVARD and no one was interested. Atmosphere in that respect was absolute garbage, almost like being in a library or at a game at uk. All the students were completely shitfaced, though, so that was entertaining.
-
Weird. I would have assumed that they would at least get into a game against Harvard. Guess academic types aren't exactly known for being rabid sports fans. Still doesn't explain KU's suckitude though.
-
When the Ivy League moved football to D1AA back in 1982 it took a lot of the luster off games like Harvard-Yale.

New banner idea for uk- "Memorial Stadium, Not As Bad As You Think!"

Funny... I had several K-State friends in town for a football game a year or two ago, and they said that Memorial's game day atmosphere absolutely blew Manhattan's out of the water. Take the track out of Memorial and complete the Gridiron Club, and it won't even be close.

That's strange, because I have a petition signed by 112,000 KU alum asking for KU to completely quit playing football and to instead just let the fans attend K-State games and tailgates because they are super fun and everyone thinks KU's are lame and smell bad. Weird.

Maybe they like raping people or being raped

What's all this rape stuff lately about? I'm assuming something to do with Ben's frat or something.

When it comes to Tardville and its ilk . . . they've always got a little anecdote. "Oh, I had friends in town, and they told me that Lawrence was the greatest place they've ever experienced in their lives. Collectively they're all selling their homes in South Beach, Malibu, Milan, Paris, just off Central Park in NYC and every one of them is moving to Lawrence."
Hey, the sideline reporter for USC, and current L.A. sportsradio host and former college football player said BSFS was bar none, "the loudest football stadium I've ever been in." So there you have it . . . absolute proof that BSFS is the best overall college football atmosphere in the United States, the side line reporter for USC said so.

From the old ESPN Big 12 beat writer:
http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/482/tim-s-mailbag-game-day-atmosphere-and-revised-rankings
Kansas State: The best tailgating in the league and a nice comfortable press box. Who could ask for more?
Kansas: Mark Mangino has pumped more life into Memorial Stadium than I ever could have imagined. But it still feels a little sterile at times.
...and KU fires the only guy that was capable of pumping life into their stadium. :lol:

Earthquake-like ground motion induced by a morbidly obese man is more of a structural problem than it is "pumping more life"

remember Lew tends to 'paper the house' with 8,000 free tickets for the first game with the sports combo pack holders

Yeah, ku's tailgating is a joke- and it is not scientifically possible for BMWJ to have "several" or "any" kstate friends, so stop bullshittin BM.

Quotes from two UCLA players who were asked about the atmosphere at the Bill during postgame interviews:
On the atmosphere of LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium…
“It was cool. But it did not really affect me. Since I am a defensive player, I do not really pay attention to the crowd.”

"I think the environment that we're going to play in Cedar Falls is going to be much more of a hostile environment than Memorial Stadium in Kansas. That was pretty docile," North Dakota State coach Craig Bohl said. "And the type of team that we're going to be playing is going to be a much more physical, aggressive football team than KU. And quite frankly I think we're going to be playing a better opponent. I know one school is in the Big 12 and the other one is in the Missouri Valley. I think that gives an indication on how we see Missouri Valley play and the respect we give Northern Iowa."
note: i realize there's an entire thread for this. just thought it should be added to this ku stadium thread, for obvious reasons.
