Title: ITT We Laugh At Other Pud Teams' Pud Stadiums/Arenas
Post by: SkinnyBenny on July 17, 2013, 05:49:13 PM
In this thread we will see the facilities offered by other teams and how none of them are as blessed as us. If you are a field reporter doing The Lord's work visiting random college football stadiums or basketball arenas, take pictures and put them in this thread so we can all go on a LOL rampage. (Or post pictures of the very few blessed schools who also have good The Settings.) 



AIR FORCE FALCONCATZ.

Admittedly their setting is pretty elite. You do have to deal with jabroni Air Force guards at the front gate stopping you and being all, "State your business." And you have to tell them you're going to take pictures of their stadium and their bad basketball arena.


Their East side reeeeeally needs some limestone. And they really need to get those trees out of there if they truly care about the well-being of our armed forces. :sdeek:

Taken from the top of their student section side. Underneath my feet are metal bleachers much like we had at The Wag throughout the 90s. T's & P's.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040862_zps42457d7b.jpg)


Weird roundy end zone fun zone.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040865_zpsa08f6f52.jpg)


I wish the stadium were symmetrical but it isn't. :frown:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040866_zpsed83d6e4.jpg)


...because it looks super I-AA'y from the press box side. (apologies 2 lakebison)
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040868_zpsac2b2172.jpg)



Cool view to see the unique curvature of their stadium. Terrible view to see the jumbotron (or any scoreboard, I think), which is off to the right, pushed way up, and facing the other way. At least from this seat you're really close to the huge speakers that project terrifying end-of-the-world drill announcements to the entire Air Force Academy, though.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040873_zps4da5deb2.jpg)


They reeeeeeally need some lessons in how to make their p. box look more like a city hall.  :cry:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040876_zps0f81db22.jpg)


Here is their huupz arena. The Falqatz are not blessed at all facilities-wise. It's this gym. And what you can't see behind me is that the concourse attaches to a college hockey arena on the other side. Very weird. And this gym has practice baskets that lower from the ceiling, which we all know is obviously a sign of your program being a poor (sister school Duke notwithstanding).

COLORADO STATE WILDRAMS.

oh hi Cam!
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040898_zpsaed615e2.jpg)


Pictures from inside Moby Arena, which not surprisingly was not made out of Porcelain.

Their stands are straight up and down and their court is super weird in person. (Elite?)
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040899_zpsfe12c30e.jpg)


They have this light-up guy behind their baskets. He's lovin' it.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040903_zpsa4ddaa30.jpg)


Good call, there definitely weren't enough huge-ass ram horns all over the place already.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040904_zps08e61340.jpg)


LMAO you guys used to want to be UNC so bad
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040905_zpse01c1286.jpg)


Fort Collins is very elite. Stadium not so much but their The Setting is v. good. I talked about it in the VQ thread but there's a mountain (or probably a butte) right above their stadium and when you get to the top there's a beautiful lake over the other side. Stadium was verrrrry 1960s/70s/80s'y, though. If you told me it was the former home of a USFL team I wouldn't have doubted you for a second.

I mean...look across the field at how this pud scoreboard is suspended. Good grief.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040906_zps87a2af68.jpg)


Did they film Soul Train here? Because those slanty cement supports under the WSC make this place look mad old.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040907_zps526c4c88.jpg)


No end zone fun zone and a mini-tron? :flush:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040910_zpsb6cf76ea.jpg)


I couldn't help but notice you didn't mention the 1995 Holiday Bowl. :cool:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040913_zpse47fff49.jpg)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040916_zps43d8caaa.jpg)


Pretty view. Unfortunately you have to look at a stadium that isn't completely surrounded by miles of blacktop. :flush:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040926_zps47434396.jpg)


2-screen drive-in theater right by their stadium.  Drove my rental right in there and watched me some 6 Fast 6 Furious. :D

WYOMING COWCATS


First just let me say that everything around Wyoming's stadium looks like the inside of a baby's diaper. Terrible color scheme, Wyo. Terrible. Stadium was great though (other than the treetraps). Blacktop everywhere.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040943_zps0754f2e1.jpg)


Read the fine print :D
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040944_zps8042b9ae.jpg)


You guys have the exact same mascot as Okie State. The exact same. Except you took their terrible colors and made them terrible-ier.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040946_zpsd64f5567.jpg)



Stadium is...okay, I guess. Symmetrical double deck setup on each side, but neither an End Zone Fun Zone or a South End Zone Fun Zone. I think it seats about 40,000 or so.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040947_zpsfb33e33a.jpg)


Is there any way to truly encapsulate all the :sdeek: that is going on here? I mean have some pride. Stop borrowing goalposts from Laramie Junior High. Have some pride. Have some pride in yourselves.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040948_zpsfacda8f5.jpg)


This turned out to be one of the last pictures ever taken of Jonah Hill Field. Shortly after I left they replaced it with something hip-hoppy and elite, which I'll post here later.

Goodnight, sweet prince:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040949_zps53de2b1e.jpg)


That jumbotron: :sdeek:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040950_zpsf81f9a3e.jpg)


I bet The Mask would totally hang out next to this thing and try to get people to form a line for autographs/photos.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040952_zps5170c2b8.jpg)


Also very USFL'y. :frown:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040954_zps40958657.jpg)



Their boob-shaped arena was HUGE. Ceiling's very Epcot Centery, too. Not sure the capacity, but it was definitely very enormous and overly ambitious, kinda like BYU's 25,000-seat arena. File this one and the BYU one under "Things That Make Ya Go Hmm."

MONTANA STATE BOBCATCATS

Their press box and Vanier :sdeek:

Pretty grimy over there on those other bleachers, Cats.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050043_zps1e57f3f2.jpg)


End zone bleachers that are taller than the sideline bleachers always trip me out. DON'T LAUGH, MONTANA GRIZZ FANS, YOU HAVE THIS TOO.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050044_zpsd5f20e81.jpg)


Their huupz arena concourse has murals of Bozeman. :D

Okay so even though my old boss played bball here in the 70s and I really liked that boss, I have no choice but to trash this arena. It is not that good. I think they mainly have rodeos there or something. Floor plan is waaaay too open.

Would be funny to make a banner sign of this and hold it up at the game in Lawrence this year.

You can feel free to post other Big XII stadiums in here, but since those are far more relevant to the ksu bsfscats, feel free to post them there. I had kinda envisioned this as being more for teams that we barely have any association with. But do whatever you want.

I know one of Montana State's coaches.  Also, one time while driving from St. Louis to Salina in January 2010 I stopped in Columbia for gas and decided to check out Missouri's stadium too.  All the gates were locked with chains, but I found one where the janitor or whoever forgot to click the padlock shut and entered.  Wish I could find the pics.  Kinda eerie being the only person in the whole stadium, and the wind was blowing just right to make it even creepier.  I tried to get in the press box and locker rooms but they were securely locked.

I did that at BSFS before the Baylor bball game last year. You always think you'll play it cool, but nope. You run around reenacting all of the classic plays.  I was like a kid on Christmas.

Dunno but two of the three bowl victories in our amazing KSU gridiron bowl history have come against CSU and Wyo so they must be pretty elite.

Also, a dude that Mrs PC96 knew in high school went to AFA and got caught cheating on purpose to get thrown out of the Air Force.

Can they even punt in there?  Or do they just have the head coach throw the ball as far as s/he can?

I went to the Fargodome last summer. It was very weird, civic center'y. Didn't really have a whole lotta school pride going on in there but I do feel like maybe there was something interesting going on in the concourse, I think it was pictures of when they didn't allow black people on the team. Not a slam, that really is what I think it was. Like I said, take NDSU smack to another thread, because this one is for other weirdo teams that are basically unaffiliated with us, like........


THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA GRIZZLYK@s



Not very rough ridin' majestic iyam. Can you imagine sitting in the upper deck behind that elevator shaft? Woof town. The press box thingy on this side is actually a bunch of suites I think. Really really absurd to consider this an "amenity," I mean the freaking liquor cabinet in Pat Bosco's suite is probably bigger than this entire thing. gmafb.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050230_zps787ea890.jpg)



What the hell's going on with these weird add-ons above the end zone? I mean I seriously can't figure out. Of course I am talking about the little wedge additions that really just make all the end zone bleachers look like some kinda stadium Transformer or something. Actually strike that, it makes them look more like a human torso wearing an old 80's women's top, you know, the one with the enormous shoulder pads. Like something that would be in the costume department for Bosom Buddies or something. Buncha clowns.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050232_zps1f84e02f.jpg)



Heard grumblings that during games you can find U of M fans having Grizzlypaks up on top of this mountain thingy that overlooks Bosom Buddy stadium. Probably also littered with heroin needles or something, SMH.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050233_zpsf69349a6.jpg)


After I got back down the mountain I went into their basketball arena. It was okay. Pretty solid, actually.

...NOT! Look at all those janky-lookin' practice lines on the court! LMAO!
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050240_zps8a3855b6.jpg)



This is kinda awesome. If you walk through the hallways in the arena you're bound to eventually land in the hallway that has a bunch of framed promotional schedule posters from years past. In 1989 they made their Lady Griz dress up in these 1889 'stumes.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/ScreenShot2013-07-18at34916PM_zps5ac271f7.png)



2001. It was a wild time for us all.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050239_zps87619f12.jpg)



Look at this stud boss just waiting in his display case until it's time to come out and win another Capital One Mascot Challenge.

IDAHO WILDVANDALS.


So this is the Kibbie Dome in Moscow, ID. It's a giant (small) place where they play a ton of Vandal sports. Kinda Ahearn-y in a way. You'll see.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050266_zps335bcdbf.jpg)


Looks like they've jazzed it up a bit in the last few years because who knows what was going on with this siding design in years past. I mean, what.

(http://img2.findthebest.com/sites/default/files/542/media/images/Kibbie_Dome.jpg)



Hey, better check close to make sure Screech didn't get rolled up in there by some bully football players from Valley or something!
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050268_zps4b12fd38.jpg)



Their west side castle hangs from the sky. And check out that machinery pushing those giant rolls of football field around! VRRROOOOOOM
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050269_zps1bac26dd.jpg)



I'm gonna present this one without comment and yous guys can tell me all the crazy crap you see going on in this picture.

Tons of :sdeek: going on in the foreground and background of this one but man, that new court looks pretty :love:
Think they'll push it together before Vandal Fright Night or are they gonna leave it as is? IF THEY OPT FOR THE LATTER I HOPE THEY HAVE A TRAINER ON CALL! ANKLES! OUCH!
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050271_zps2223899d.jpg)


I mean really study these. There's just so much going on in this place I don't even know where to begin.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050274_zpsdbd0dff8.jpg)



Instead of doubles the Tennis Vandals just play halvesies?  :confused:

Kinda hard to sugar-coat this one, EmoEMAW. :frown: Sorry man, I tried, I really did. The Vandalcats definitely deserve better than this all-purpose community center. I totally want them to get like a $7B gift from some famous alum (Did Nikki Sixxxx ever complete his degree in horticulture??) and then they just build insane facilities for every sport. That's my vision for Vandal sports. I call it Vandalvision 2025.

so how many of these combo football/basketball/whatever else domes exist out there?  i mean i know the obvious other one, but surely there's many others i can't think of...?  seems like it would be kinda sad to watch a football game there :frown:  knock in a field goal and it bounces off the VB ref's tower and hits the pummel horse or something, just weird.  can't process it all

wikipedia tells me it's the smallest FBS venue around?

The Fargodome is our football venue and it's sweet because it gives us a huge homefield advantage: noise. No sound escapes and when the crowd gets loud, you can literally go deaf. They sell earplugs to people who don't want to risk it. Anyway, when we play UND in basketball, they can convert the Fargodome to a bball arena that seats approx: 8000 or so since our normal bball arena can't hold enough people.

But yes, Idaho has the smallest FBS venue and frankly, it's very ugly and crude.

The Kibbie Dome was actually an outdoor stadium for a few years before they covered it.  The more interesting (I think) dome in Idaho is Holt Arena at Idaho State.  It was actually built before the Kibbie Dome, was originally built as a dome, and was originally called the MiniDome.  It was built in 1970 and is the 2nd oldest dome to the AstroDome.  The odd thing about it is that the field sits under the arch so that roof is at it's highest over the 50 and comes down towards the endzones.

I'm going to guess the gym from Hoosiers and Ole Miss (probably wrong on both).

Anyway, you inspired me to do some wikiresearch on Holt Arena, and I learned some interesting factoids.

"The indoor arena was conceived by ISU athletic director Milton W. "Dubby" Holt in 1966. ISU students voted to appropriate not more than $2.8 million to the project two years later.[2] Originally named the ASISU MiniDome, it replaced the outdoor "Spud Bowl"

They've really been pimpin' potatoes for a long time, I see.  Also, lol at "not more than $2.8 mil."  That's $16.6 million in 2013 dollars.  There are lessons to be learned here.  Anywhere, here's this gem:

"Following the success of the MiniDome, several other colleges built enclosed stadiums, including the Kibbie Dome at the University of Idaho in Moscow"

And in regards to the caller's question from earlier: "Holt Arena is one of two enclosed stadiums currently in use in the Big Sky Conference; the Walkup Skydome at Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, opened in 1977, is the other."

The Walkup Skydome is the home of the NAU Lumberjacks basketball and football programs.  They switched from Astroturf to "Dallas Cowboy Style" Field Turf around 2002 - a move which they are very proud of.   It was mentioned in their wiki article, and I've found several fragments of P.R. floating around the internet about it.  #BigTime.  Here's a few pics from Google, I hope SB is ok with the fact that I didn't snap them myself.

I think these domes and mini stadiums away from the big lights of college FB have sort of a charm to them.

These schools are scraping by and doing what they can so they can field a squad in Americas favorite sport (eat it baseball).

It's cool and I would gladly catch a game in an Idaho college dome..

Oh also this is what I was talking about earlier with my hoop arena quiz question. The two that remind me of the Holt Dome in Pocatello are Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse and Alabama's Coleman Coliseum. They're not exactly the same as ISU's dome but the orientation of the court in relation to the ceiling is rotated 90 degrees from where you would logically expect it to be. It plays tricks on my mind. :eek:


(Because he's myyyy) Butler:

Wazzu Wougs

Since I was in Moscow, ID. and Pullman is only 8 miles away over the border I thought I would swing over and cross off my ninth Pac-12 stadium (#humblebrag #viral #palouse). Check out this article from the Battle of the Palouse wikipedia:

Quote
As two schools are less than eight miles apart, there was once a tradition called The Loser’s Walk, where students of the losing school would walk from the winner's campus back to their own. In 1954, the walk made national news when about 2,000 students from Washington State College made the trek west from Moscow to Pullman after the Cougars lost to Idaho for the first time in 29 years.[4][5][6]

I had heard bad things about Pullman, that it was desolate and too small, nothing to do, wouldn't exist without WSU, etc. Not really true from what I saw. Seemed kinda sweet. Nice small college town and as far as a game at Martin Stadium? Would go. Basketball arena seems kinda sterile, though. At least it's named after Michael Beasley.

Hey, how'd this rascal get up there??
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050285_zps67aabc0d.jpg)


Beasley Arena was fairly Bramlage'y in my opinion. Similar size, octagonal, smallish concourses. It seems way more sterile than the fOOD, though.


Those concourses...woof
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050287_zpsb8d051c5.jpg)


We have Garth Brooks and Bill Cosby in a HELLO FRIEND shirt, they have a ginor drawing by Gary Larson (WSU alum).
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050288_zpsb12de8b8.jpg)



Holler back for a dope scoreboard.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050291_zps67f8d53f.jpg)


D'oh. This was taken from the arena's end zone fun zone way in the top rows. One side has this huge black cloth thingy that they dangle from the ceiling, presumably to cover up all the pipes and catwalks and whatnot. I guess they think it looks better this way. But people up there get no scoreboard. :frown:

Top row, midcourt.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050299_zpsefb3e23b.jpg)



Batcougs play here. It's a little meager. They have fieldturf "dirt" too, so if they ever host a regional (yeah right, way too small, NCAA should never allow that), pig aggy fans can get their panties in a bundle over it.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050300_zps990ba7ca.jpg)



I remember that there were a bunch of people way back when talking about WSU's renovations in the BSFS thread. Here are some pictures that show how far along they were when I visited about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Looks like they'll be playing their first few games at Arrowhead. :frown:

But guys....guys.......THEY HAVE A CRANE! And it's in Washington, just like on the show! We'll name this one Martin Crane, after Niles and Frasier's dad. It's smaller time than our two and it doesn't do very much (kinda like the retired and kinda paralyzed Martin on the show), and it's at Martin Stadium. :cool:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050304_zps07f9f5fb.jpg)



Definitely needs more limestone.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050305_zpsce00c9f7.jpg)





View from their concourse above the end zone stands. Press box looked pretty elite, if a little bit plain by comparison to our castle. Classy, though. Wat do u guyz think? Other than obstructing the views of a bunch of seats I think it's pretty great. Nice work, Cougz.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050306_zps40326011.jpg)

So it turns out I didn't take nearly enough photos during my radio tour of the Southland Conference :dubious: I'll find what I can though.

Here's Texas State's stadium in 2009. The press box was new at the time, the old one was that tiny thing in the middle/bottom there.

(http://i.imgur.com/5ln3lYB.jpg)

(http://i.imgur.com/h83T1ET.jpg)

Whole thing's been massively revamped since then. Track's gone (lolsquawks) and the whole north side has been bowled in. Here's what it looked like before Tech massacred us:

(http://www.jhjackson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_9623.jpg)

Jumbotrons are on the other side of the stadium near the end zone complex (none on the new north side complex :frown:)

(https://p.twimg.com/A1ozZaUCEAAsfkc.png:large)

Here's an overhead of what it looked like just before the 2012 season started. The inability to make the stands match up from the north side expansion and the old stands is pretty TXSTATE0

Actually, I did call a college basketball game in a high school gym once. McNeese State has two basketball arenas they can use, one on campus and one in downtown Lake Charles. That said, the men were using the on campus arena and downtown was hosting an alligator rodeo or whatever it is those barbarians do over in ski-be land.

So they played the game in the Jennings High School arena :sdeek:. The McNeese radio announcer and I sat next to each other at one tiny plastic table. You could hear both broadcasts at the same time on the radio :lol:

The lighting in there would've made ski-be cough up a kidney.

These aren't mine but they're an accurate enough picture of what I saw in Conway when I visited the University of Central Arkansas, home of everyone's favorite SugarBearPigRazorcats!

So they just moved up from D2 a few years ago so their arena is super tiny. Like, they make UTSA's place look big.

Here's a random ass picture of their concourse/concessions:

Exterior's pretty meh.

There's a big stuffed bear in a glass case out in the lobby but I can't find a picture of it to save my life :angry:. Lots of Scottie Pippen stuff there as he's the only notable alum out of the school (which is still pretty cool though)

Here's Texas State's basketball/volleyball arena. The first thing that'll probably stick out to you about the arena is the GIANT rough ridin' WALL :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare: :don'tcare:

(http://www.txstate.edu/commencement/guest-information/maps-directions/strahan/contentParagraph/01/image/P07-005-024.JPG)

They did put up a jumbotron on the wall like 5ish years ago.

(http://image2.stadiumjourney.com/images/stadiums/582_Dividing_Wall_Behind_Basket_at_Strahan_Coliseum.jpg)

Thankfully we just got a new court and they updated the lighting to make it less dungeon-esque.

(http://www.txstatebobcats.com/images/2013/7/11/rp_primary_Strahan_Floor_1.jpg)

Exterior's pretty :dubious:

(http://www.txstate.edu/virtual-campus-tour/tour-stops/strahan/contentParagraph/0/content_files/file0/strahan.jpg)

The seat setup was a very :sdeek: clash of maroon and gold for a while. They're changing all the seats to gold this fall. I'll get pics next time I'm there.

The concourses are pretty garbage-y and they're thinking about renovating them. I'll try and get some more up close and personal pics during basketquatz season.

McNeese has a pretty cool little stadium called "The Hole" that's dug into the ground and is honestly pretty good for 1-aa/FCS and very nice for broke-ass 1-aa Louisiana schools. They've been a power in that division for a while now since they basically get all of the 5-star LSU dropouts and arguably have just as much fan support in SW Louisiana as ULL. I got a chance to go there and watch Texas State upset them when they were #5 in FCS, but of course my dumb ass was too busy getting sideline reports to think about getting pics :facepalm:

(http://www.stadiumsusa.com/images/thumbs/2c01824a2f2f96feadc10f0eaaf77961fed655f5.jpg-590x1000.png)

Their facility as a whole is pretty nice, but the end zone complex was LOLbad. Like, it nearly got condemned a few years ago bad. They just completely overhauled it I think like a year or two ago (ski-be, confirm?). This is what it was supposed to look like:

(http://www.herkesicindemokrasi.com/images/content_05.jpg)

One fairly LOL thing about McNeese is the random little thing of bleachers in the end zone for the band away from everyone else.

(http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/cajunradio.com/files/2011/10/McNeese-Stadium.jpg)

They just put in some new turf a couple of years ago which is pretty nice.

(http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/cajunradio.com/files/2011/07/McNeese-Football-Stadium.jpg)

McNeese's press box is very nice although very kinda Iowa/Notre Dameish in that it's just tiny (although not bad for 1-aa) and shoots up towards the sky. They'll give you the best goddamn pork chop and gumbo you can think of up in the catered section. Couldn't find any interior pics. When I was there I got in an elevator with a bunch of donors who kept asking what the LSU score was :sdeek:.

Nicholls State is all sorts of poor. They basically put their entire university together with a bucket, some duck tape, and a hammer. Their athletic department runs on even less. They've had multiple games cancelled because of hurricanes knocking out their light poles and flooding their field. It's right on the bayou, so everything floods at levels that Havs can only dream of. Their stadiums are all terrible, and when you go on their official athletic page and click the "athletic facilities" link, it sends you to a photo album with...no pics of their stadiums/arenas.

I mean, look at this crap.

(http://www.championshipsubdivision.com/wp-content/gallery/nicholls-state-colonels-john-l-guidry-stadium/Nicholls-2.jpg)

They finally got new turf because the grass surface kept getting torn up and flooded. Guess who paid for this?

(http://www.eurotechsoccer.com/imgs/ResCamps/camplocationla/3742451653_a992cb106e[1].jpg)

The Manning family. Yup, the same Manning family who runs the passing camp at Nicholls State that Johnny Racist didn't show up for. That said, the turf is still pretty lol compared to McNeese's or even Northwestern State's.

TULSA GOLDEN HURRICATS.

I was drove by TU tonight and took some pictures with phone.  Tulsa's stadium holds around 30,000.  Being the smallest D-1 school makes them short on alums, but they aren't short on money.  It's probably the nicest 30k stadium around.  Notice all the nice, foot traffic nightmare making, landscaping.   

Here's what you see when you walk up to the stadium:
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0439_zps39e50b00.jpg)


Here is the back side of their press box and concourse area.  There used to be an upper deck here that made the stadium seat 40k, but they only came close to filling it once a year for the Union/Jenks HS game.  They built it ~5 years ago and I guess its super nice on the inside.  There is a green area to the right of this where they always have 4-5 bouncy castles and big blow up slides for kids to play on.  During games there are about 6 concession trailers from restaurants that sell BBQ, Mexican, Funnel Cakes, ect.
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0438_zps906a20b1.jpg)


Here is another shot off concourse from the other side.  Those are student apartments on the right.  About every other
[1st floor apartment space isn't an apartment, but concession stands, fan shops, ect.
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0450_zpsd41163fd.jpg)


They left a gate open, so I was able to get onto the field.  Here is a shot of the the home side and the pressbox.
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0448_zps2cd66566.jpg)


Here is a shot of their south end zone video board.  They sell a lot of family packs to this area and all the seating is non-assigned.  Just to the right of this is the playground area.  Being the smallest D-1 school with a small alumni base and expensive tuition, they have to do all they can to get local families to come out.  Notice all the crape myrtles on either side.
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0447_zps1126292b.jpg)


Next is a shot of their field and east side.  Notice the seats in the middle section look different.  They have some chair-back seating on the other side as well. 
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0444_zpsda832675.jpg) 


Finally, here is the north end zone and football offices facility.  This picture is taken from the front of the student section on the west side.  Sorry about the sun behind it.  I took another from the other side to replace this picture, but it didn't come out right.

Guys, We have to admit this is very Elite-y.

We all know LHCBS will have someone off-ed if they even see a practice on accident. The NDSU coach must be a real stud (could be a gimmick tho).
We can't even watch a practice that happens outside. Their stud coach must let everyone watch practice.
We don't even have team benches in our practice facility. It looks like they have more seats in their practice facility than they probably have in their stadium (NOT CONFIRMED, but lots of seats in that practice facility).

Is this a thing that the poors do in order to make more money? Is it free to get in? Do they sell beer?

b-state broncs blorange university



Very, very odd stadium all around. You won't find another one like it anywhere, and not just bcuz of the blue turf. Very top-heavy. Very patchwork. Very odd. But kinda cool in a weird way.


Weird angle for lights! Tall lights! :eek:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050339_zps7deb4a7c.jpg)



I think they must be putting in a new Vanier? Steamrollers and whatnot. Vroom! Also T's and P's on that really really pud jumbotron.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050341_zpsd62021cf.jpg)



Pretty big WSC. Looks a lot like the press box at WSU, imo. The field side, at least. The back of the BSU press box looks suuuuuuper weird, though. You'll see its asymmetrical ass later on.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050342_zpsdfb2b464.jpg)




How do you guys feel about the lights?  Kinda weird how the "training table" end of their press box just hangs out super far and has all these really trashy-looking supports underneath it. Notice also how the upper deck A) is bigger than the rows underneath it, and B) rises at a different angle. The entire Boise State stadium rises at bizarre angles sometimes.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050345_zpse524a595.jpg)



Fitz and the Lemon Parties would have a field day with this university.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050346_zps60acf54a.jpg)



That setting is nice but it's no Flint Hills.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050350a_zpsddf6143f.jpg)



I think these end zone bleachers are new?
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050350b_zps51a4b9b2.jpg)



Just such an unusual place. Sweet view, though.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050350c_zps0d3815e3.jpg)



Steueueueueckle.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050350d_zps53454fef.jpg)



Look how :sdeek: the back side looks. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that, like the rest of this stadium, the WSC is super off-balance.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050363_zps029fa173.jpg)


Really weird, disjointed B-State0 add-on wedge of bleachers in what would be the horseshoe part. Kinda looks like crap.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050344_zpsac7fa0af.jpg)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050350_zps6ac351be.jpg)

Boise State ugly arena. It's too horizontal and taco "belly."

Odd setup. I actually like it a lot though. Like the fooboo stades, there's not another college arena out there with this kind of setup. Also it's the site of the Tyus Edny miracle. And is named after SB's favorite restaurant.

Weird sideways practice courts underneath the real court.

Guys their concourses were seriously out of a bygone era. Sorry for the dark photos, I was definitely sneaking around (trespassing) and there weren't really lights on in the arena. But JFC, look at that paint scheme. Makes me feel lucky that Asbury only added teal for a while. :sdeek:

SB, good work on the BSU stuff.  I agree that it looks very odd, but considering they built the original stadium just 5 years after they stopped being a Juco, I think it's pretty cool.  I also like their b-ball arena and the concourse signage/design is the icing on the cake.  Most places have repainted their 1970s hospital parking garage stairway designs, but I like that they've kept theirs.  The only thing that would have made it better is if they named their levels after pieces of fruit.

Guys, We have to admit this is very Elite-y.

We all know LHCBS will have someone off-ed if they even see a practice on accident. The NDSU coach must be a real stud (could be a gimmick tho).
We can't even watch a practice that happens outside. Their stud coach must let everyone watch practice.
We don't even have team benches in our practice facility. It looks like they have more seats in their practice facility than they probably have in their stadium (NOT CONFIRMED, but lots of seats in that practice facility).

Is this a thing that the poors do in order to make more money? Is it free to get in? Do they sell beer?
That's not a practice facility,it's their domed stadium,with a game going on  :facepalm: Don't know about the beer

It seems pretty clear to me that there were zero women involved in designing the stadium and all of its add-ons.  Just some rancher dudes that had probably been drinking.

George: Fred, we need to add a couple thousand more seats to our stadium, but I'm not sure where they should go.
Fred: Well, we've got some random open space at that end of the field.  What about there?
George: You mean like this?

*shoves random grandstands stolen from area high schools into the open area*
*kicks a couple times to make it fit*

Fred: Perfect!

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050350b_zps51a4b9b2.jpg)



If all you saw was the interior stadium view, this pressbox looks legit.  It's all steel and glass, which isn't necessarily my cup of tea, but the lines are clean and it looks fine.  Then you see the outside view.  Seriously.  WTF were they thinking?

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050363_zps029fa173.jpg)


As for the lights: on the pressbox side, they look fine.  They look like they would illuminate the field, so, you know, good job on that.  On the other side, I don't really know what's going on.  It's not just that they are randomly tall sticking above the stands, but they're not evenly spaced.  There are a couple near midfield that are bunched closed together, and then a couple more that are spread way out near the ends.  It's like someone's ruler was broken when they were deciding where to put the lights.  Actually, it looks like something a farmer would come up with.  It's functional, but it's not pretty to look at.

Everything about that new pressbox facility looks nice... except for whatever is going on at the left side of the picture.  It's all enclosed with glass and looks sharp, until you get to the random open-air area up there.  And what is with the big, blocky tower at that end?  On the whole, much nicer than what I was expecting from a god-forsaken hellhole like Pullman WA.  I am also impressed with how many lights they have in there.  That stadium is going to be visible from space when it's lit up at night!!

WSU WSC from the student section side of the field. Really solid work by the cougarcats.

I realize it violates visual symmetry, but How do you know it's not some cool, open-air party deck?  They have nice weather up there, and it would be nice to feel some breeze while your sippin on some schmirnoff ices with your booster pals.  Also, the block on the left could be stairs and/or an elevator shaft.  What's your beef with the elderly and disabled, anyway?

Post by: SkinnyBenny on July 21, 2013, 11:56:48 PM
I would say of the probably 60+ D-I football venues I've been to throughout my years on this crazy blue marble, my success rate of getting in when there isn't a game going on is probably about 70%. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Summertime is a good time to do it because of football camps. I happened to luck out on my recent trip because WSU and BSU both left their stadiums wide open during the day so parents could come in and videotape their kids being shitty at pass blocking and whatnot. CSU was having basketball camp so that was a breeze.

2. Smaller-timey teams with on-campus stadiums often leave the stadiums open during the day. Lots of times it's so students and professors can run stairs or run the track (KU) or whatever.

3. Bigger-time stadiums are harder to get/see into. For one, they usually have bleachers all the way around the field and there aren't typically open end zones like at CSU or Wyoming, so that sucks. Also, they take security way more seriously at big timey places. Definitely still try. I always do.  I always walk the entire perimeter of the stadium and pull every gate or door I see. That's what I've always done and it works quite often, usually because a janitor forgot to completely close the service door or whatever.

4. During the day at least, totally disregard signs about trespassing, or about hard hats, or whatever. Stadiums where they're doing construction are totally ripe for the pickin'. The only reason I got into Alabama's stadium a few years ago is because they were doing construction on that massive end zone addition. I have learned that if you walk with a purpose and act like you belong there then you will almost never be questioned. I got into Boise State's arena because I followed a tutor for a basketball player through the academic center door. Since it was off-season, off-peak hours, it was very easy to walk through the various hallways until I found a way into the arena. Air Force's cruddy arena was open and I walked into the lockerroom area and totally helped myself to a Fresca from the athletic department fridge. :cool:

The visible ceiling/roof looks pretty flat. Terrible Dome design, spheres are not flat. Not convinced it is a real stadium. Who doesn't have at least a jumbotron (or even a tinytron)? 1980's light boards are for 1980's minor league baseball.

It is a stadium, but is not a dome. Also, it has a jumbotron... Actually, it has 4. Sure, they may not be quite as ambitious as the one in the Cowboys stadium, but they are jumbotrons nonetheless.

1. Got sidetracked yesterday, will post tonight. Will have to use google photos but I know at least for NSU there are some good ones out there.

2. Literally everyone here complains about it. Thing is it can actually trap noise back onto the court extremely well if there's like 3000+ fans that actually show up, give a crap, etc. But it's far too much of an eyesore to really justify ever having it in the first place. I'll have to try and get the story on why they had that in the original building plans, but my guess is they didn't want the Coliseum jutting out too much towards the road behind it that's one of the main arteries through campus. Also the place holds like 7,200 and has only been full once when Michael Jordan played in a celebrity exhibition game here back in like 1998 so it's not like there's any demand to put more seats where the wall is.

One of the dreams around here amongst the few hundred basketquatz fans still paying attention is to hollow out the wall and put suites in there with glass windows. That would actually kinda be cool imo.

So, Northwestern State. "Fork 'em, Demons" is the phrase of choice around there :love:. Located in Natchitoches--pronounced knack-a-tish...idk cajuns--out in the middle of goddamn nowhere, northwest louisiana, it's actually kind of a bucolic/quaint atmosphere unlike McNeese (the football stadium is the only nice building on campus) and Nicholls (which is basically falling into the ocean). That said, the place you go to have a good time is apparently Shreveport, so god help them.

Natchitoches is also the home of lopsided and oddly-shaped athletic buildings.

They had that cheap astroturf back in the 80's or 90's whenever this was taken.

Definitely can't explain the chairback color scheme on the home side.

(http://c0056906.cdn2.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/690589-1.jpg)

Home side is nice enough for FCS, press box is a little small but at least they have suites.

(http://pics4.city-data.com/cpicc/cfiles72720.jpg)

Away side and jumbotron are pretty lol.

(http://www.championshipsubdivision.com/wp-content/gallery/northwestern-state-demons-harry-turpin-stadium/turpin-stadium.jpg)

They did get new turf recently, which is basically the only structure on campus that isn't slowly falling apart. Well, I take that back.

Fork 'em, Tigerdemons.

Speaking of ghetto buildings falling apart, here's Prather Coliseum, aka the last place Jim Croce played and a multipurpose facility that looks like half a blimp and isn't exclusively used for basketball.

They often have to erect some combination of temporary stands or a curtain for basketball games since the court itself only takes up like 3/4 of the floor.

Awesome report. The Demoncats are a mystery to me and always have been. Purple. Demons. Knack-a-dish. The juggalo friend of mine who has two degrees from Georgetown took his gynecologist wife on a romantic getaway weekend to a bed and breakfast there. Lolwut. Apparently they got bored with the town instantaneously but there was one redeeming factor, a local soda fountain that "...had DDP on tap, which you NEVER see."

The football stadium seems like it could be a cool place to see a game. I like the visitor's side, it's super high angle-y. The color scheme on the press box side seats is super LOL, and the house that Croce built is just turrible.

Yeah Prather is totally the 1960's gone wrong. Football stadium is middle to upper tier in the Southland, but their team hasn't done crap since the early 00's for some reason.

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA WILDLIONCATS

So SLU is in Hammond, which is on the other side of Lake Ponchartrain from N'awlins. The area around campus is basically one big strip mall, and the town's one redeeming quality is basically that it's on I-12 and I-55. You go here if you're from New Orleans and you couldn't get into Tulane, U. of New Orleans, or *gulp* LSU. That's basically about it. For some reason Texas State had this really nasty rivalry with them in just about every sport and their 10 fans were rough ridin' *merciless* on all of us, including the broadcast team. Until Central Arkansas, they were the new money in Southland Conference football and had only joined back in 2005.

Their football stadium looks exactly like you'd think a 1-aa commuter school near New Orleans would look. It's pretty tiny too: it only seats like 10,000 people.

Literally every person in Louisiana has taken a piss on these stands apparently.

Turf's not bad, away stands are very pud.

(http://southeasternureporter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Photo061.jpg)

Scoreboard was probably ripped off from a local high school.

(http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/_b4FXJ_mCkE/maxresdefault.jpg)

I guess the one cool thing about Southeastern is that their basketball teams play inside a spaceship, the SS Hexagon of DOOM.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/a1/Southeastern_University_Center_cr_sign_out.JPG/480px-Southeastern_University_Center_cr_sign_out.JPG)

This picture doesn't really do it justice, but the stands shoot up in very steep fashion. It'd be pretty imposing if it wasn't tiny (but big for the Southland...it's like 7,500 and the school's enrollment is 15,000).

You are 100% correct about Hammond and about SELU. I've been to both the football and basketball facilities, too. The football field is nice but its midfield logo reminds me of something you'd see on a candy box. Space ship of doom is okay but I have no idea why it's so ambitiously huge. I mean, come on, guys.

Yeah I wanted to find nice things to say about them but it was just kind of depressing. At McNeese you can watch good football, at Northwestern State they kind of have a good music program and it seems like there's some okay outdoorsy stuff there, and at Nicholls you can probably go get drunk out on the bayou or something and get eaten by alligators. I don't know what the eff you do at SLU besides go back to Mom and Dad's in NOLA on the weekends.

And yeah, I have no idea why their basketball arena is approximately half the size of their enrollment. SLU fans are notoriously apathetic and don't show up even when they're winning.

Easily one of the worst stadiums I've been to. The visitors side benches are made of rotting wood. Good thing the plan on getting a new stadium in the next few years. Check out their fieldhouse. It's called "The Dyke House" and sits in their endzone.

Guys, We have to admit this is very Elite-y.

We all know LHCBS will have someone off-ed if they even see a practice on accident. The NDSU coach must be a real stud (could be a gimmick tho).
We can't even watch a practice that happens outside. Their stud coach must let everyone watch practice.
We don't even have team benches in our practice facility. It looks like they have more seats in their practice facility than they probably have in their stadium (NOT CONFIRMED, but lots of seats in that practice facility).

Is this a thing that the poors do in order to make more money? Is it free to get in? Do they sell beer?
That's not a practice facility,it's their domed stadium,with a game going on  :facepalm: Don't know about the beer

The visible ceiling/roof looks pretty flat. Terrible Dome design, spheres are not flat. Not convinced it is a real stadium. Who doesn't have at least a jumbotron (or even a tinytron)? 1980's light boards are for 1980's minor league baseball.

There are 4 big screens (not HD though).  One in each corner.  They're not real big but an appropriate size for this building.

The old turf in the first picture (brutally hard) was replaced with field turf last summer.

I did some late-night internet stadium hunting last night and noticed that there's another I-AA team that plays in a dome that hasn't been mentioned yet. I've never been there but I'll post the pictures anyway.

South Dakota Catyotes

The DakotaDome is home to Jackrabbit fooboo and huupz, like most of these I-AA domes. Also like most of these domes, it is a little weird. But interesting. Go 'Yotes! (They actually say this.)

Nice upgrade there, bisonbuds.

Considering how much NDSU spent on the roller system (the entire field is rolled up in a matter of minutes at the touch of a button) and on the actual turf itself, it better be a nice upgrade... But yes, it is a much better playing surface than it's former astroturf counterpart.

STEPHEN F. AUSTIN LUMBERCATS

So, these guys are basically in Nacogdoches the middle of goddamn nowhere, east Texas. You go here if you're from DFW or Houston and you couldn't get into SMU, TCU, UH, or Rice and you don't want to spend your college days wasting your life in Huntsville (home of the SHSU bearcatquatz...more later). This is the description of SFA from the Texas college stereotypes thing that's probably been posted on facebook approximately a quadrillion times:

I am drunk or having sex right now. I went to class once. That about sums it up. I am a Lumberjack.

It's pretty accurate. BTW, they're also tiny and poor and will never make it up to FBS unlike the other FCS Texas schools which at least have an outside shot at a Sun Belt invite.

Here's their football stadium.

They did kinda renovate their press box to make it serviceable.

They did finally get a scoreboard worth a damn at least.

Thing is, SFA is the closest thing to a basketball school the Southland has. Their arena has two jumbotrons :surprised: and they've had some pretty good success the last few years under Danny Kaspar (who Texas State just stole out from under their poor, broke noses :kstategrad:)

That said, if you drive by and blink, you'll miss it.

Georgia Tech Purple Jackets

Their new basketball arena is so goddamn elite. They've taken their old place, which was fine but somewhat antiquated and in no way elite, and made it ridiculously awesome. They gutted everything but the roof.

Reno pic from internet:

(http://cdn.cstatic.net/cache/gallery/6048/6350001847_648083274f_o.jpg)

So now it reminds me a lot of The Paige. Brand new, gray, very impressive. I snuck in there at 7 in the morning when all but about two flood lights were off, and I only had my celly on me so sorry for the terrible pictures. Also I was in pain because I had just banged my shin on a black table in the suites that I couldn't see because I was dark. Anyhoo.

It's got a pretty big lower bowl with an upper deck of like 4-5 rows. Of course I went to the highest point in the stade for pics (always do :gocho: ).

This is really interesting. Their concourse makes use of their old basketball arena. Check out how the signs at each section portal are slices of their old court. Would love this kind of thing to be done in the renovated OOD. Just tons of purple and teal and the basketpowercat with fish scales from midcourt.

Old midcourt logo hanging on the ceiling above the concourse. Again, sorry for the turrible picture.

Their football stadium is so weird, bro. The sideline stands are clean and even and nice...

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/ScreenShot2013-07-23at11618PM_zps2baa3e85.png)

...but I have no idea what the hell is going on with the bleacher construction behind the end zones. Asymmetry galore, totally patchwork throughout the years. And it has a snaggletooth. I don't know wtf they were thinking. Incredibly G-Teche0.

One single snaggletooth overhang:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/ScreenShot2013-07-23at11539PM_zpsd7a1f193.png)

Here's a slightly better view of it, stolen from the internet. No idea why they did this. Also is that a tiny greenhouse underneath it behind those windows? What the hell's going on there? Note how there's absolutely no symmetry on the other side of the end zone.
(http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4087/5029759859_9ecbb60eca_z.jpg)

Scoreboard in the other end zone is just ever so slightly off center from the goal posts. "Why measure when we can just eyeball it?" :lol:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/ScreenShot2013-07-23at11607PM_zps742e45bf.png)

You can see the reflection of their urban The Setting in the windows of the press box. :love:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/ScreenShot2013-07-23at11704PM_zps79773fdd.png)

They should've Bilt more seats the first time around and maybe they wouldn't have a weird snaggletooth end zone. :surprised:

Thx 4 the pix ctc. I like learning about Southland teams because I almost never go through these towns.

Yeah there's basically no reason to ever really go to Natchitoches, Nacogdoches, Huntsville, or Thibodaux without a specific reason, and you only wanna go to Hammond if you wanna get the hell out of Mississippi. Will do SHSU and Lamar next.

Auburn Tigercats: New Huupz!

Their old arena was very much like a bigger City Auditorium. It even had individual wooden seats, woof. Their new place is pretty small (9,121) but is just incredibly elite. It has a museum of Auburn athletics attached in the concourse/lobby/entryway, and it is a lot like a hotel in said concourse as far as carpet and whatnot. But the arena itself is v. nice. Clean sightlines and a small upper deck. And seats that spell stuff, which I like.

But first, the spot where the old oaks of Toomer's Corner were. :frown:

Went to Auburn for a football game 10 years ago.  Stadium is nothing special, the eagle thing they do before the game is pretty cool though.  Never really got a feel for how loud the fans could be because they were shutout.  Also the campus is gigantic and the traffic getting out of the campus after a game is terrible.  Felt like all ~80K people were going down the same two-lane road.

Different strokes for different folks.  The outside of the stadium is just tons of concrete (think KU but much larger).  Nice and unique exterior architecture is what moves a stadium from "meh" to :love: for me.

Hey SB, I haven't forgotten about ya bro! :fistpound:

1. I think the wall under the American flag was modeled after the outside of Kemper Arena because these dudes are big Blades fans? Maybe as a tribute to the KC Kings? Not sure, but I appreciated it as a KC native!
2. Roof looks like a camping tent covered in white post it notes. I prefer yellow/goldenrod post it notes but to each his own I guess.
3. Looks like they have a nice West Side Chair Back area at around the 50. 3 sections with like 6 or 8 rows of elite green chairs, the chairs don't spell anything, but still, its nice.
4. White stuff in the bottom right corner? I'm guessing sand that spilled out of the long jump sand pit. Or possibly chowder from when right before some one goes on the uneven bars.
5. I'm guessing those are speakers hanging above the stands pointing right at your face? That is pretty cool. When they listen to "We ready, We-e Rea-dy, WE READY, FOR Y'ALL" I bet is doesn't sound very echo-y or delayed etc.

That's a solid point. I think maybe the athletic director from Idaho should call the athletic director from Washington State and sing him this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOiwhBbooo) song.

Man oh man CartierFor3, you really nailed it. Some adds:

1. The Kemper Arena thing is definitely something I thought of too but I really think it's more of an homage to the Kansas City Renegades since that's where so many Vandals end up.

2. What's with the paneling on the far wall that goes up with the bleachers along that wall? It's uneven. It's like they don't know anything about the Slope formula or something. LSFIQ.

3. That goalpost with the missing crossbar seriously just makes me so sad. :frown:

4. Big windows! Glare! Eat your heart out, Allen Fieldhouse. :gocho:

5. Just so much stuff sitting out all around the track. Is that a giant pile of rags or is that a big white parachute? Legit can't tell, but why is it there? It's like they had a huge party (Nicki Sixxx concert?) but are still too hung over to get off their asses and clean up.

STEPHEN F. AUSTIN LUMBERCATS

So, these guys are basically in Nacogdoches the middle of goddamn nowhere, east Texas. You go here if you're from DFW or Houston and you couldn't get into SMU, TCU, UH, or Rice and you don't want to spend your college days wasting your life in Huntsville (home of the SHSU bearcatquatz...more later). This is the description of SFA from the Texas college stereotypes thing that's probably been posted on facebook approximately a quadrillion times:

I am drunk or having sex right now. I went to class once. That about sums it up. I am a Lumberjack.

It's pretty accurate. BTW, they're also tiny and poor and will never make it up to FBS unlike the other FCS Texas schools which at least have an outside shot at a Sun Belt invite.

Here's their football stadium.

People pay to go sit on the grass. Srsly.

In all fairness, the people from Northern Dakota are seven kinds of giddy about getting to buy $35 tickets to sit on our grassy hill in the NE corner of our amazeballs stadium...

SAM HOUSTON STATE BEARKATQUATZ

These guys are in Huntsville, about an hour outside of College Station off of I-45. It's not totally isolated like Nacogdoches, but there isn't much of a college town atmosphere either. You basically go here if you want to get in on the thriving and lucrative Texas prison system as their Criminal Justice program is what the school's known for. They're also a bunch of whiny 6-year-olds who don't sell out when they're good--which has often been the case recently--and seemed to have a habit of insisting on calling us Texas State - San Marcos based on our old school name as if that was some sort of witty insult (they're part of the Texas State system and we tried to change their name to Texas State - Huntsville and they got super butthurt about it). Also they're super jealous Texas State went FBS and they didn't because they think for some reason that living in goddamn Huntsville, Texas entitles them to something.

Oh, and in 2008 Texas State won the Southland title on their turf in OT and our fans who filled up most of the visitor stand stormed their field :lol:. No goalposts came down though :frown:

Their stadium is kinda SFAish but has more stands. The grass isn't usually the sitting place of choice for bearkatquat fans unless there's a rare sellout.

(http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics32/0/EL/ELPKYRHXQQYTLZU.20110113212545.jpg)

Their press box is much like their campus in that it's ugly as hell minimalist architecture.

(http://image1.stadiumjourney.com/images/stadiums/1350_Bowers_Stadium_Exterior)

That "Kat Krazies" sign in the middle of the visiting stand is where the students sit. The sign itself is metal and the fans pound on it loudly for noise, basically making them a poor man's Mississippi State.

(http://aviewfrommyseat.com/wallpaper/MarkBerg-20120427004546.jpg)

Their chairbacks are hilariously cheap

Turf's okay, nothing to write home about.

(http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics32/640/IN/INVXPBIALGOTHTU.20121201151505.jpg)

Here's their end zone complex *fart noise*

(http://image2.stadiumjourney.com/images/stadiums/1350_Ron_Mafrige_Field_House_at_Sam_Houston_State.jpg)

Their basketball stadium is much nicer.

(http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics32/0/BG/BGEREECQNVQIVPA.20110114034715.jpg)

I have never been to Northwestern Purplecats, but in pictures and on TV I have always, always, always been baffled by the curvature of that upper deck. Is it level but just sunken really far back, and that's why it looks in pictures like it slopes up? Or does the first row(s) of the upper deck literally curve upward like a mild parabola? I srsly can't tell. Was going to ask Dlewcat for some pictures.

Why the states of South Dakota and North Dakota have two small state schools (instead of one big school, each) baffles me. People always seem to say Iowa and Kansas should only have one state school, but I think we've found two smaller states where that could/should have been done.

Ya. For a second try to ignore the optical illusion upper deck and just look down at the lower level. See how the entry portals (no idea what these are actually called) to the stadium have two main rows running all the way across the field? Then there are ALSO a few random entry portals forming a really half-assed middle row. And I don't think they're connected to any major staircases or pathways. So do they just....open up and plop a few lucky people right down in their seats?? :confused: Their concourse must just be an absolute mess of tiny little half-staircases. :sdeek:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Ryan_Field.jpg)

Let's not neglect the rest of the other stadium for weirdness. Look at the student side. There's a subtle curvature from the 5 yard line on the right to the 5 yard line on the left...and then it straightens out and extends well beyond the end zone. Almost Kyle Field-esque. So bizarre. I mean wtf. :sdeek:

Hey, even I'll give that to them. They do have a really, really nice hockey arena with some of the most comfortable seat's I've ever sat in. Ever seat in that place has that nice pillow top cushioning that perfectly conforms to my oblong ass. I'm a big guy and I give these seats an A.

Skin Ben what are your thoughts on having more rows at the 50 yard line than the goal line?

Northwestern does this and I guess it makes sense and even looks sleek, but I'm against it. I like having a ton of fans right on the goal line screaming their heads off to help the D make a goal line stand. It seems like at Northwestern once a team is inside the ten they look up and see like 12 rows of fans and aren't intimidated and can focus just fine and boom, touchdown visitors.

Let's not neglect the rest of the other stadium for weirdness. Look at the student side. There's a subtle curvature from the 5 yard line on the right to the 5 yard line on the left...and then it straightens out and extends well beyond the end zone. Almost Kyle Field-esque. So bizarre. I mean wtf. :sdeek:


You may be on to something here. Anybody been to Lane Stadium? First name one syllable white guy stadiums might all be weird, who knows?

Lane stadium main side has like 150 rows topped with a goofy looking castle that was newly built.

The 2012 season marks the 54th year of Rocky Miller Park and the 29th season since its rededication.

Northwestern baseball has been played at the site of Rocky Miller Park at Wells Field since 1943, but it was not until 1958 that the University formally dedicated the park. The area is named after Harry L. Wells, a former vice president and business manager at Northwestern. A 1913 graduate of NU, Wells served the University for 20 years before retiring in 1954.

Long the home of Northwestern baseball, Rocky Miller Park underwent renovation in 1983 and was rededicated during ceremonies in May of 1984. Rocky Miller Park features 600 stadium seats, a press box, as well as an electronic scoreboard.

Guys, I have a confession. When I was a kid I used to spend hours and hours just drawing plans of enormous stadiums. Football, basketball, baseball. At my parents' house I have over 200 of these cartooney drawings of stadiums that would be completely unfeasible in real life. I mean, many of them would probably seat well over 250,000 if they were actually brought to fruition. :lol:

When I go back for the Baylor game I'll try to snag them and upload some. They're pretty bad but an 8 year-old SB was suuuuper into it.

Hey CF3, I haven't forgotten about ya bro! :fistpound:

I guess I kind of agree with you about the ten rows of goal line stands and no noise thing. I mean no one wants the visiting team just waltzing into the end zone with no aural resistance. I kinda like the way it looks architecturally I guess, because it allows each stadium to be more unique? Maybe? And it allows for athletic departments to tout more rows near midfield? But ya, it sucks. I mean who wants crazy noise when a team is at the 50 instead of when they'e trying to punch it in on 4th and goal? Not me, that's for sure. In fact I would probably do what Nebraska did with their end zones, only waaaaay more pronounced. I would make every section between the 20 yard-lines only about 12 rows tall, then every section from each 20 going to the back of the end zone would quickly rise to about 60 rows, and then every end zone fun zone would be about, like, 330 rows tall. All of it one big section. It would look very odd but man can you imagine trying to audible on 4th and goal when you're going into an end zone section of almost 40,000 fans (preferably students on each side) all screaming their heads off?  I would love that in the upcoming BSFS renovations. I think maybe I'll tweet this post to Currie and see what we can do. Also we will have to increase our enrollment by about 60,000 to really do it up right, but with NBAF and 2025 that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Skin Ben what are your thoughts on having more rows at the 50 yard line than the goal line?

Northwestern does this and I guess it makes sense and even looks sleek, but I'm against it. I like having a ton of fans right on the goal line screaming their heads off to help the D make a goal line stand. It seems like at Northwestern once a team is inside the ten they look up and see like 12 rows of fans and aren't intimidated and can focus just fine and boom, touchdown visitors.

Howcome? I think it's fantastic. It's pretty much what it should've been all along, except they had a dumbass track. That end zone complex is a bit weird, but other than that I'm :thumbs: It's not exactly symmetrical, but it's clean and not TOO asymmetrical. The only thing I really think that sucks about it is that the taller end zone stands on the lake side are gonna cover up their distinctive The Setting view. :frown: But overall it's elite and they're also renovating their baseball stadium. Lucky huskies. :don'tcare:

Thats exactly it. I like the sideline seating, but the endzones are iffy.

Yeah, Illinois' huge improvements are definitely great, but I don't understand stadiums that add new, nice permanent bleachers behind the end zone but then include a huge gulf between the back of the end zone and the first row of bleachers. West Virginia's gulf is the worst and looks so weird. :sdeek:

A&M is just so stupid.  In '09, they averaged 77k per game in a stadium that seats around 83k.  Now they're spending 450 million to have something bigger and shinier than Texas. 

I've been to A&M twice for conference games, once against "rival" TTU.  The stadium was far from sold out for both games.  Now they want to add another 20k seats?  They'll sell that sucker out for a few years probably, but once the SEC shine wears off, they'll be back to ~85k per game or so.

I'm just waiting for a fiscal conservative member of congress (not from the State of Texas) to question non-profit statuses of schools simply based off of that video. Most renovations are usually well justified in terms of benefitting student athletes but this are simply aesthetic and profit-driven.

Exactly, any comparisons to KU are foolish, they are in fact polar opposites. Drake is a world class track facility with football lines on the infield. Instead of football elites mocking the track, Euro track elites mock Drake's football field. The KU Relays are a cheap knockoff of the Drake Relays and Drake also frequently hosts official USATF meets.

Havs how is their weird little fieldhouse? Is it cool in an old-fashioned MVC way? I bet it is.

Awful sightlines and the stands are not steep at all. The arena is younger than I am too and has only seen one good Drake season in 2008. Regardless, I always enjoy a Drake/Creighton or Drake/UNI matchup at the Knapp Center, otherwise its the Nap Center.

In KU news, beems wants to raid KU's cancer research dollars to try and repair their crap stadium.

Quote
KU endowment is currently in the middle of a $1.2 billion fundraising campaign (Far Above).  When the campaign kicked off to the public in 2008, $612 million had already been pledged.  According to the website, one of the campaign goals includes $175 million for facilities upgrades and renovations.  Now, that money will likely be used for medical research and campus facilities as well, but a portion of it could possibly go to the football stadium upgrades.

they've had decades to cure cancer and have gotten nowhere.  the football team won a BCS bowl.  that's way more recent success than the cancer curing guys have had (and much more than KSU, I might add).  seems to me that the football team deserves this money much more than cancer.

NORTHWESTERN WILDCATSCATZ

Made the ~45 minute trip north with my bro in law.  Wonderfully beautiful drive by the lake.  What a fun, SkinnyBenny-inspired afternoon.

This is the facade of their WSC.  It's by far the nicest facade on the exterior of the stadium, as you'll see shortly.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_142512_zps5c229dcc.jpg?t=1375652282)
Every other part of the exterior is a complete dump.  It looks like they're doing some kind of work on it, but we're a month away from Northwestern Football and it still looks like this all the way around the stadium:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_142553_zpsf3b22cf0.jpg?t=1375652261)
I liked the "tickets" sign.   
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_142426_zps07b51376.jpg?t=1375652297)
A lot of Northwestern's buildings have this ivy on it.  Their vanier has some.  Looks kind of weird.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_142744_zps0bf1852d.jpg?t=1375652230)
Their "Wildcats" script font cracks me up.  It is as 90s as it comes.  You would think they would try to rebrand it and emphasize their new stripe more, maybe, but nope.  Wildcats script it is.  That script is as Northwesterneo as it gets.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_142902_zps7bc6fc41.jpg?t=1375652213)

Ok anyways moving onto the inside of the stadium.  It was hard to fit everything into one shot, so i'm going to post this stock photo just so everyone is oriented correctly:

(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3071/2726590777_ba203bac61_z.jpg)
Luv their wildcats on top of vanier.

So moving on, I loved their grass field.  It was very pretty and i almost laid down in it and took a nap.  The grass is the best part of the whole stadium because every other piece of it is small and falling apart.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_141807_zps03e3c164.jpg?t=1375652389)

Their Vanier is small and old but they have a tarp tunnel!   Wonder if they shoot the fog through it when they come out?  :confused:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_140935_zps13a39432.jpg?t=1375652578)
OOD is right behind the stadium.  Didn't go in there because i don't really care about bball arenas.  Sorry.  They have a skywalk that connects Vanier to the arena though:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_141030_zpsedfe2a11.jpg?t=1375652553)
They have a 4 ft berm that surrounds the field.  Standing in the endzone seats (which are pretty far from the field) isn't so bad because the field is sunk a little bit lower.  If it wasn't, those endzone seats would be dreadful.

I'd like to direct your attention to their dinky little scoreboard.  So pathetic.  Tucked away in the corner. Just barf. The scoreboard on the other side isn't much better. But hey!  ribbon boards! 
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_141820_zps591cbd86.jpg?t=1375652370)

Another weird thing is that the field is absolutely huge.  It was hard for me to judge where the sideline began because their's no paint obviously, but it seemed like the stands were a mile away.  On the plus side, they have tons of room for harley day.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_142017_zpsc4c233c6.jpg?t=1375652331)

Statue of willie in the endzone.  Reminds me of the one at old stadium.  We should probably put one in BSFS.

(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_141911_zps5a15793f.jpg?t=1375652350)

Their WSC isn't bad, relative to the rest of the stadium.  It's pretty small, but definitely not Iowa State small.  Also, they call their ring of honor the "honor roll" which is funny to me given Northwestern's academic prowess.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_141337_zpsf3c8b357.jpg?t=1375652446)

Here's the weird out of place portal SB referenced earlier in the thread:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_141423_zps55a496f4.jpg?t=1375652429)

Sloppy stuff.  HEY NORTHWESTERN, THE SEASON IS IN LESS THAN A MONTH.  GET YOUR crap TOGETHER.  YOU'RE IN THE BIG 10.  YOU WON TEN GAMES LAST SEASON.  YOU HAVE TO AT LEAST PRETEND TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_141226_zpsc650c417.jpg?t=1375652524)

This sea of visiting stands is just the worst, although i do kind of like their nice 4 foot grass berm:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/THE_agnax/20130804_141300_zps71b88a7f.jpg?t=1375652498)

Sorry SB, no light porn to speak of.  I don't think they have lights/they don't play night games.  Big 10 is the worst.

Wow, just wow. 100 T-ys and 5 katpaks to field reporter Dlew for getting all up in the guts of a stade I've always dreamed of going to and subsequently making fun of on the internet. It's just so weird. The design is not one that you will find anywhere else in any other stadium on the planet. That parabola upper deck is so bizarre. Lower level views obstructed by giant beams? Ivy? LOL, you guys want so badly to still be playing at Wrigley.

I had absolutely no idea that the outer facade was so gross. I mean I guess I figured but I'd never seen it. The "get your crap together" call-out made me LOL IRL. But I think my favorite part was their script Wildcats truck. Gawd. Made me want to go to the Aloha Bowl all over again. And that sideways scoreboard? Barfsville.

Couple questions:

1. How did you get in? Are there a bunch of openings because of all the "construction"? Or do they do what total pud programs do and just sorta leave their stadium open because they don't have rival fanbases that care enough to break in and vandalize?

2. Will you see a game there? I recommend that Sept. 21st tilt against Maine.

3. Look at your photo that shows the mini-tron from the other end zone. In the foreground you see a little white chain that is serving as a "fence." Do you think they think that's actually keeping anyone out?!? Or do they just figure their fans don't give enough of a crap to storm the field for anything?

4. Where does the mystery portal lead? To an alternate universe where Northwestern plays in a real football stadium?

5. Do you already regret not going to their basketball arena? You should. It's so weird (from the pictures I've seen).

T-Y DLEW!

NW gets a pass, as a small private school.   The alumni at schools like NW and Vandy don't want their schools name attached to football factories, so they aren't forking over millions for extravagant facilities, only enough to stay in the game.

I enjoy watching NW play and I think Fitzgerald is a good coach, and I didn't realize until a few moments ago that Mike Hankwitz is their DC.

Well the gates were all locked but we walked around the entire facility and found one that was open.  There were some college aged employees buggering around in there.  They saw us and didn't bother us.

2. Will you see a game there? I recommend that Sept. 21st tilt against Maine.
Doubtful.  I'm really a nut on Saturdays in the fall.  I literally watch CFB for 18 hours.  Then again, K-State is off on the 19th of October when they face off against Minnesota.  So we'll see!
3. Look at your photo that shows the mini-tron from the other end zone. In the foreground you see a little white chain that is serving as a "fence." Do you think they think that's actually keeping anyone out?!? Or do they just figure their fans don't give enough of a crap to storm the field for anything?
Well it kept me off the field.  The grass looked so pristine.  Also, i don't think NW has passionate enough fans to warrant any more of a deterrent.

4. Where does the mystery portal lead? To an alternate universe where Northwestern plays in a real football stadium?
I think it leads to a secret underground Glen Mason shrine.

5. Do you already regret not going to their basketball arena? You should. It's so weird (from the pictures I've seen).
a little.  i was with the bro in law and i'd been wandering around the stadium for about half an hour. felt like maybe he wanted to get going.

no they don't get a pass.  not when realignment is a thing. the university of chicago is a great academic institution but they're not in the Big 10.  if NW gets to sit at a big boy sports table then they should shape up.

I've seen a Rutgers billboard in Miami.  Kind of weird.

WEBER STATE WILDCATS

I made it up to Odgen this week to have a look at the Weber State facilities.  Weber seemed to be the best fit of the area schools for this thread.  Plus they are also purple wildcats, so I may adopt them as my local team.  Maybe they just need my support to get their terrible football program turned around. 

The Dee Events Center is another roundhouse/dome-type arena.  They have a lot of great parking and a familiar looking wildcat right outside.

The WSC at Stewart Stadium was completed in 2001 but only stretches from about 30 to 30 maybe.  Underneath the stands on the south end is the track team locker room.  The weight room is under the north end of the stands.  The stadium is right up against the Wasatch range, but the best view is to the north where you can see Ben Lomond towering over the Ogden valley.

TROY (STATE[?]) TROJANCATS

You are looking live at Troy, Alabama! Really excited about this one because it was such a cute little surprise nestled in kind of a shitty expanse of bleh southern Alabama towns. Really kinda gross everywhere in the surrounding area and town but then the little sports complex is like totally adorbz. Way better than I expected it to be for a Sun Belt team that was Division II (not I-AA) less than 30 years ago. They have two decks! And stands on 3 of their 4 sides of the field! (And soon to be a few rows of stands incorporated into some high donor crap/Vanier thing in the other end zone that I think they're maybe gonna break ground on soon.)

I just love these guys. Pretty quaint if you ask me. They almost beat Missouri here a few years ago!
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050404_zpsf9070e2e.jpg)

It always kinda bugs me out when stadiums have larger upper decks than the lower decks. Top heavy. But these little Trojan guys are so cute that I'll look past that architectural quirk and just be happy that they have two decks...on two sides! :D

Also note that their WSC legitimately almost stretches end zone to end zone. It was so big and way nicer than I expected it to be. Did I mention I am so happy for them!!!!

Pretty quaint. I bet going to a game here every Tuesday night is super duper fun and all the students and townies are really into it and stuff and they may not sell out but by god they've got heart.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1050405_zps19b2f1c4.jpg)

(End zone paint job is v. boring, btw. That's the only knock against the stuff INSIDE of the stadium.  ( :frown: for later.)

But guys it is with heavy heart that I report to you that I THINK (not positive) that this is their football practice field. No fence. And those goalposts make me sad. Positively Northwestern'y over in this part of the Trojan Sports Megaplex. :frown: :frown:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3173_zpsf7055fd9.jpg)




Trojanqat Huupz has an incredible new arena that they built definitely within the last few years (not sure). I am so jealous. (But really they should've just kept playing at Ahearn.)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3171_zpsb256dc6b.jpg)

Guys does the above photo remind anyone else of the First Tennessee Bank building in Red Bank, TN lmao?

It only seats 6,000 which is actually perfect for this adorable little town because it's quaint but still big enough for modern amenities LIKE PRETTY MUCH 360* RIBBON BOARDS   :excited: :excited: :excited: .

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3174_zps16aedacb.jpg)


You've noticed by now that this Arena has Superdome chairs. (10 stadium thread points to whomever can smirk at that joke without Googling.) The end zone bleachers are cutout benches instead of chairbacks because I can only picture that all the little students in this place get really rowdy when the JYTs take the court! (Enormous videoboard.)
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3175_zpsb2158f3c.jpg)


***BatTrojez Bonus Pic!***

I snuck around the sports Megaplex to get a picture of all the plastic Trojans that Mr. Johann Currie (Trojan athletic director) put on the outside of their WSC. Answer is tons but they're so small you can't see them here. Anyway. The baseball stadium was back there and it's better than I expected.

Thoughts on Troy St:

1. Banners? Man they have lots of banners. What for?
2. How elite are those red seats in the football stadium? How much Ahearn fund money to you have to give for those?
3. I like the brick around the top of the seats in the south end zone. Pure. Class.
4. Their lighting if for serious better than ours was prior to 2013.
5. SB, don't be sad for their busted goal post. Obviously what happened was they had a big Wednesday night game on ESPNU a few years back and tore down the goal post. They then moved it to the practice field as a tribute/memorial/motivational tool for the team to remember that awesome night.

The only thing that was a little weird at all -- and this is the most minor of gripes so dax can just go ahead and untwist those knickers -- is that the ribbon board and enormotron were so bright that they caused a huge glare off the shiny new court if you looked at it from the right angle from the end zone seats. Like there was this one bright white graphic that was sort of a default screensaver graphic that was duper bright white and would flip around and bug me out every 13 seconds. Was disorienting but I'm sure during an actual game when they show real content it wouldn't be that bad.

T's and P's about that, seven is right. I just know there were losery neighborhood townies who made Tulane scale back their original plans of height (and footprint??) so they could preserve the neighborhood feel and one or two more houses. The houses are admittedly elite, though.

It's sterile, and like most college venues they put in too many seats.   While it's all cushioned chairbacks, it's still cramped.   They haven't done much to the arena and concourse itself since it was built.   Which is pretty amazing considering the gazzillions of dollars they've spent on football facilities over the last 10-15 years.  They did add on some very nice basketball offices a few years ago.   They don't have a basketball practice facility because they have Carmichael Auditorium just down the street to go practice in if they need to.   They just did a really nice renovation to Carmichael and that's where the women play.

(http://image.cdnllnwnl.xosnetwork.com/pics32/0/TR/TRYVROTSEOHDDZJ.20120906120154.jpg)

Many wish they would have never left Carmichael.

Auburn Tigercats: New Huupz!

Their old arena was very much like a bigger City Auditorium. It even had individual wooden seats, woof. Their new place is pretty small (9,121) but is just incredibly elite. It has a museum of Auburn athletics attached in the concourse/lobby/entryway, and it is a lot like a hotel in said concourse as far as carpet and whatnot. But the arena itself is v. nice. Clean sightlines and a small upper deck. And seats that spell stuff, which I like.

But first, the spot where the old oaks of Toomer's Corner were. :frown:

No pics of Jordan Hare?  I don't think it's that impressive, aesthetically, but most big SEC places aren't.  The new bball arena is suppose to be awesome, glad to see more pics of it.  As for the comments about traffic after the game, most of the SEC schools are like that.  Little towns that because the 5th largest city in the state on gameday type thing.

Beard Eaves, the old bball arena had a lot of interesting history.  Our baseball field was done by the same architects that did Camden Yard.

Really enjoy this thread, especially the stuff on Troy.  Their alums are so proud to talk about their stuff and how awful Alabama/Auburn/UAB are.

Coleman Coliseum is crap.

dax is also right in that the smith center is sterile. pretty cool seeing all the banners with the big names on them, but that's honestly the biggest appeal to the place.

Unbelievably weird arena. Went there in 2001 and snapped some pics on a box camera before the digital age. The bleachers are, like, mechanized to float to the ceiling or something. Wish I had 700 original SB pics to choose from but you'll just have to deal with these from the internet.

Can't remember if we've talked about this one yet and too lazy to dig around this thread, but did we talk about University of Kentucky's Memorial Coliseum? It's where the men's team used to play and where the women's team still plays. It looks very weird both outside and in.

The first thing you'll notice is the HUGE rough ridin' WALLS :don'tcare:

When considering that they now play in a mall that seats 400,000, it's almost unfathomable to think that the Kentucky men used to play here.

You know what's a really surprisingly good environment? Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium at ECU. I mean they don't have permanent bleachers on all 4 sides but it's pretty legit. SB extendofam goes to games there a lot and says it's great. About the capacity of BSFS I think, and a super badass field. SB cuz had her wedding reception in their Vanier that overlooks the field and had an ice swan sculpture and it was very very badass. I don't think we've done this one before so here goes.

ECU PIRATEQHATZ



Press box seems pretty pud and the lights on that side seem very "USFL'y" but once they get that straightened out their stades will look much more legit.

Went to the NCSU rivalry game there a couple years ago and had a blasty-blast!!!  (ECU won).  They're fans are very passionate and take their football seriously.  The campus isn't anything to write home about but the students seem to like it there.  Definitely a party school.  They have a bar district near campus that is similar to Aggieville.  Nothing as original as what we have but still a fun place to let loose.  Greenville has a lot of attributes that remind me of Manhattan; smaller community, college town, a little out of the way from a big city atmosphere.  Absolutely gorgeous weather almost all year round!  Nice place.  Would go back.

It's really unbelievable. Obviously they built it 900 years ago and started super small and now they have to just keep trying to cram weird add-ons wherever they can. It looks horrible. That one weird part in their End Zone Fun Zone that hangs over from the top deck and juts out further than the rest of the upper deck? LOL. Just LOL. I call it "the snaggletooth."  :D

As recently as 1983, Ga Tech's stadium still had a track and the endzone was in the shape of a horseshoe. There is still hope for KU yet.

In 1983 SMU was claiming National Championships through certain publications and they didn't even have a home venue.  Let's face it, times have changed.  There is absolutely no hope for KU.

Hey guys, I'm going to do my best Skinny Benny stadia critique.  Today I'd like us to consider that a stadium might actually be worse, although similar, to KU's Memorial Stadium.  I submit for you consideration, Ferenc Puskás Stadium, which is the national stadium of Hungary, located in Budapest.  With seating for 69,120, it is by far Hungary's largest stadium (the second largest is Budapest's Albert Flórián with only 15,804).  The day we toured I was quite puzzled because I knew that night Hungary's national team played host to Denmark in a friendly football match, however there were no ongoing preparations.  It's because they played this match in another stadium with only 10,200 capacity.  It seems the Magyars don't love their soccer so much (not even as much as Kansas Citians!).

Anyway, Ferenc Puskás Stadium was constructed between 1948 and 1953 by mostly volunteers.  Yes, you read that correctly.  rough ridin' volunteers, mostly soldiers.  Probably some Communist definition of volunteer include gulag labor or something.  Anyway, as you might have guessed, it looks like crap.  Here was our first view as we approached from the west.  There was a guard posted but he was too busy smoking to inquire as to our presence.

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g180/stuck_in_ks/142.jpg)

A closer look at one of the gates.  I peeked in the window, bunch of fusball tables behind there.

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g180/stuck_in_ks/143.jpg)

A look at what the main level concourse looks like, very similar to KU's or Notre Dame's concourses.

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g180/stuck_in_ks/144.jpg)

Here's a look at some of the external decoration.  Really nails that 50's Communist feel.

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g180/stuck_in_ks/145.jpg)

Walking around the outside I could see these concourses for the upper deck.  It was encapsulated in this screening to keep debris from falling on people walking below.

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g180/stuck_in_ks/148.jpg) (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/stuck_in_ks/media/148.jpg.html)

Finally we made it around to where we could see inside.  A rough ridin' track guys!  :excited:

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g180/stuck_in_ks/149.jpg) (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/stuck_in_ks/media/149.jpg.html)

We walked around towards it and there was this building which I've since discovered is the Magyar Sportmúzeum, which is their national Olympic sports museum.  The front:

(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g180/stuck_in_ks/161.jpg) (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/stuck_in_ks/media/161.jpg.html)

Then we were discovered and escorted out by a very angry man who assumed we walked right past a stationed guard.  He chewed his ass for a few minutes before he let us go.

This is the entrance to the offices and such that the guy thought we must have entered through.  Are you guys getting a feel for the architecture yet?

I went to Kinnick yesterday and I don't know if I expected some amazing stadium and/or setting, but I left incredibly underwhelmed.  The stadium is dropped right in the middle of campus/Iowa City and butts up next to the University of Iowa Hospital.  There is no parking, save one shared lot with the hospital.  Not sure how the gameday stuff works out, but it probably doesn't matter too much as it seems Iowa plays 90% of their games in the 11am ESPN slot.
Nice brickwork in Kinnick and if metal bleachers are your thing, this place is your shangri-la.  The hospital is currently adding a new wing and they're building and adding on to the Football offices next to the stadium, so the area is a mess and the stadium was all locked up.

Great report, Meat Sauce. :thumbs: True story: Kinnick Stadium is one of the only stadiums that has successfully kept curious stadium trespasser Skinny Benny out. I have generally always liked the look of it from the inside, seems like the perfect mix of Iowa small-timey and Big 10 big timey. The basketball arena is just a sunken hole in the ground basically, so very Bramlage'y. But they have a parquet court. :love: But it has a Ticket City logo on it or something pud. :don'tcare:  Arena had gray seats when I was there like ten years ago, no idea if it still does. Seems very, very sterile, though. I just can't imagine there being a super live atmosphere for a 'eyes huupz game. No idea, though.

Well this is really long overdue, but it's time for a thorough review of the facilities that are about a mile from SB's house.


TULANE PURPLE WAVE auction company


We're gonna start with the basketball arena, which I saw firsthand when I went to a game there two seasons ago. Did I say arena? Definitely just meant gym. It's probably 90 years old and was recently renovated, maybe two years ago. I mean obviously it's pud city, but it's a little bit adorbs and feels kinda cool if you tuck in your green wave shirt super hard and embrace the "Ahearn echo" aspect of it. Plus, you're almost guaranteed to get in for less than three dollars at any game, making it a great outing for you and your little youngster, and you can go sit pretty much wherever the hell you want. I guess what I'm saying is it's terrible.


BUT THEY HAVE THIS GUY!!!  :D

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_2180_zps338595b5.jpg)



Blur city in this photo, sorry aboot that. Probably blurry because the bleachers were shaking from the tremendous amount of NOISE!!!

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_2182_zps2476c1a0.jpg)



A history so pathetic that they honor the team that bounced a Dana Altman-led qhatz from the first round of the NCAAs at the Orlando O-rena. I wouldn't fault them for this except I hold sports grudges for many decades, so Tulane can just go suck an egg and prepare to have their facilities absolutely reamed by a guy nerding out about stadiums on his computer!  :don'tcare:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_2184_zpsd5318078.jpg)



In this photo we see the Tulane students section, moments before tipoff. Notice the elite jumbotron in the background.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_2185_zps3e378569.jpg)




Not trying to be creepy but this guy was so amazeballs I had to get his picture. Dat helmet! :love:  I would equate him to one of the "ref shirt guys" guys in the front row of K-State huupz student section back in the day.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_2186_zps2cd1d246.jpg)



Wave hello to the Tulane band!!! They look small right now, but shortly after halftime about ten more members showed up. :confused:

It's honestly kinda cute. :babywillie:

You guys want access to elite donor accommodations? Well allow me to interest you in The Wave Cave.  Located in two of the four top corners of this gym, there are a few seats that look sorta comfy I guess and also all the Sprite you could ever hope to drink. (Limit 20 Sprites, please.) And there's a trash can, which is great in case you have something you need to throw away. Wave Cave is for super elite Angel-level donors and may not include access during games because we couldn't find anyone who wanted to pick up Terry's shift that night.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_2196_zpsa9ba6075.jpg)




Press row, maybe? Hopefully you don't get stuck behind that beam. :frown:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_2197_zpseccf67e6.jpg)



Hey, why not? Let's just store all our stuff here during the games and make the players walk around it on their way to the lockerroom at halftime.

Tulane Bat Waves actually have a pretty elite home. Definitely the finest athletic facility at the school (not hard), at least until this football stadium is complete.

They won a natty in the early to mid 90s or something and obviously they're still riding high on that. Elite green seats in the stadium, palm trees over the fence, and cranes in the background building their new fooboo stade. What more could you want in a setting? :cool:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3461_zps046c487e.jpg)



Have you guys noticed that a lot of elite-ish college bayball stades have a press box that is elevated higher than the top row and sorta pitched forward? Kinda scary-lookin'. A little intimidating. I bet opposing teams look up at the from the field and get a li'l nervous.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3462_zpse16bc80e.jpg)

Decent to good scoreboar--wait a minute. Is there a football team and/or marching band using the outfield as a practice field? :facepalm: Come on Tulane, have some self-respect. This is almost Northwestern'y in its embarrassing-ness.

Guys I'm not going to even post pictures of Tulane games played in the Superdome because it will only make you really sad. I went to one against ECU in like '09 and I left feeling really bad about myself. :frown: They've fallen so far. DID YOU KNOW that Tulane football used to be big? It's true. They played in the SEC up until 1966, when they left to be independent. :frown: :frown: :frown: And they used to play in what was at the time an enormous stadium that seated over 72,000. And they regularly filled it, apparently. Or maybe not. But either way it was huge and badass and it hosted three Super Bowls and a gazillion Sugar Bowls and then it got condemned.

Look at this thing. They used to have it so good. :cry:

(http://www.stadiumsofprofootball.com/past/tulane703.jpg)

If you're interested in finding out more about this then I recommend you check out the wikipedia page on Tulane Stadium. Unlike the stadium, the wiki page is NOT condemned. :frown:



BUT GUESS WHAT!!!




(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BkzgEwgCMAAX1NT.jpg)


I've had an eye on this construction for a while because I drive by it on my way to work every day, but it's hard to see from the road. It's tucked behind the bat wave stadium and even if you walk up to it everything is fenced off. It's about as on-campus of an on-campus facility as you will ever see. There's like one parking spot max. Which is why a bunch of the uppity rich neighbors with actual mansions up against the property line fought really really hard for them to not build this stadium. A lot of them put signs in their yards that said, "30,000 people: where will they all park?!?" And it's like, HEY PEOPLE:

A) They're never filling that thing, are you kidding?
B) Do you think everyone who goes to football games drives? And drives solo, for that matter?
C) Pretty much the only people who will give a rip are students and they'll just walk from their dorms so shut your dumb faces and stop trying to be the levee against the momentum of this green wave. Levees in this town don't stand a chance, dorks. :cool:

So here's what it's gonna look like. Kind of a weird design especially for such a little stadium but overall I think it's gonna be pretty badass. I'll save a review of the actual facility for when I can go to a game there and take pictures from the inside (it debuts in week 2 against Georgia Tech!). Here's what it will look like, though. Oh and btw you can learn more at www.yulmanstadium.com


(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_4846_zps9b31347c.jpg)


I think this is gonna be the smaller side of the sideline bleachers. It's kinda weird. That side will only go up like 15 or 20 rows before it becomes press box. Was supposed to be way higher but the neighbors thought it would make way too much noise. I mean gmafb. It's Tulane football, these games aren't getting loud. Sick of this.


*edit* might be end zone. Can't tell.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_4852_zps4f211227.jpg)




Their lighting systems are honestly a weird mixed bag. Part of them are these tall Bishop Stadium'y guys and then others that you'll see later are very very elite-looking.   p. weird combo.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_4837_zps09010e31.jpg)



Anyone getting an egress boner yet? Honestly I think they should swap this with the aisles from Bramlage because these aren't actually all that wide for a football stadium imo. Should probably just trade with OOD straight up.  Paging dax.

One of the only angles you can see into the stadium through the fence. Is this guy on a Bobcat, or did the West Stadium renovation reserve exclusive rights to those things? Look how low to the ground that press box is LMAO. Hey ESPN 9, hope your cameras can zoom waaaay out.

Stadium will connect to their student-athlete center or whatever.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_4844_zpsd0e6655e.jpg)


I know I already gave you one Tulane DID YOU KNOW, but guess what, you get a bonus. Did you know! You don't actually have to be a student-athlete to walk around in that student-athlete thing. As long as you just barge in and act like you own the place you get free access to whatever room you want. Snoop around like crazy. Just go nuts. And you can take all the pictures you want because everyone thinks you own the place.

All in all, I'm excited. They've been through a lot and deserve something nice and shiny. Don't quote me on this because I mean I'm not a football player or anything but I expect it to be way better than playing games in the outfield of their baseball stadium.

CF3, I think it is. At the very least I think it's going to be checkerboard in one way or another for sure. Field's not down yet, but every rendo I've seen has it like that. It's a throwback to what the end zones were when they played there a long time ago, I think.

Man. I just read through everything again. Did you guys take note of how good I message boarded yesterday? Wow, just wow. Inspiring stuff. I mean Wooldridge at The 'Plex was a really lol addition.

Dlew, those stands are WEIRD! So weird, dude! So weird for you! Obviously I would prefer they all connect because you know I'm a big fan of stadium symmetry whenever possible. But I think it's still probably okay. Certainly weird in that it kinda reminds me of North Texas' old shitpile Fouts Field, which is somewhat similar in the respect of "3/4ths of the field stands are connected but not the 3/4ths you're used to."

(I know Fouts Field isn't completely connected but you can see how I would make the connection between the two.)

 
(http://www.meangreenmap.com/sidebar-fouts.jpg)


But back to Tulane's shiny new thing. I think it's pretty good. At least they didn't try to mix stands based on straight lines (like BSFS) with stands based on curves (like Sanford Stadium). I'm happy for Tulane. Oh and when I was walking around acting like I owned the goddamn place I saw some memo or something about how they're going to allow tailgating all over this quad nearby. And they're gonna even offer pre-packaged tailgates where they give you all the food you want and they set up grills for you and they bring you coolers full of whatever type of booze you order. P. sweet deal.

Couple things about Yulman that actually suck balls, though. We'll talk about them below, but first look at this image for reference.


(http://theadvocate.com/csp/mediapool/sites/dt.common.streams.StreamServer.cls?STREAMOID=8hRqAiTPY6w0uhioC1cCt8$daE2N3K4ZzOUsqbU5sYu_2XAHuVe1jzFChelb2vbVWCsjLu883Ygn4B49Lvm9bPe2QeMKQdVeZmXF$9l$4uCZ8QDXhaHEp3rvzXRJFdy0KqPHLoMevcTLo3h8xh70Y6N_U_CryOsw6FTOdKL_jpQ-&CONTENTTYPE=image/jpeg)


Okay. Let's take a closer look. (http://fallonmirsky.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/smileyface_doctor.jpg)

1. It's 2014, Tulane. Find a way to not stack a press box actually on top of stands. It needs to be recessed back BEHIND the last row of the stands. I mean, gmafb. Is this Memorial Stadium and K-State is playing Wichita University in 1965? Is this Michigan Stadium up until like 2004? (Example below.)






(http://football.ballparks.com/NCAA/Big10/Michigan/aerial.jpg)




Get the frick out of town with that BS, Tulane. Can you imagine how pissed you'd be if you spent almost $65 of your hard-earned money on Tulane season tickets in their new stadium and then ended up right next to the press box? Hope you like seeing only half the field, dork! Anyway, get your act together Tulane. (Although I honestly suspect it was the bitch-ass neighbors on Audubon Blvd. who made them lower that side of the stands, etc. But it could also just be because there's such limited space.


2. Stadiums whose end zone stands are higher than their sideline stands look weird. :don'tcare:

3. Imagine that you're sitting in the Yulman Stadium press box. Now look over to the stands in the end zone off to your right. Half of those end zone stands are higher than the other half. Like, if it were BSFS, you would look at sections 12, 13, and HALF of 14 and it would be a certain number of rows, but then the other half of 14, and all of 15 and 16 would be like 5 rows less. Don't know why. Is weird.


But like I said, I'm just happy for them that they have something nice again. It's quirky and weird and not how I would've designed it, but whatever. It's like if you have a son who constantly brings home F's and then he tries really really hard and brings home a C-, you're kinda happy for him even though you know he still pretty much sucks.

SB can we also dig a little deeper into this neighbor issue? I mean, my dream basically forever since I was born was to have a house next to a stadium, like in Wrigleyville. Who wouldn't want that? And we're talking what, 7 home games a year? Probably only 3 of them will be night games? Some people ya know?

You bought a house that already backs up to a college campus, I mean what did you expect? Gtfooh. They even griped at City Hall meetings to the point that they strong-armed the negotiations so that, in order to have it built, they can ONLY have Tulane football games there. No soccer games ever!!! No monster truck rallies!!! And don't you rough ridin' dare even dream of having a concert there!!!!!!!!

As recently as 1983, Ga Tech's stadium still had a track and the endzone was in the shape of a horseshoe. There is still hope for KU yet.

So are they getting rid of the huge upper deck on the pressbox side and replacing it with two smaller decks?  If that is the case, their total capacity might not change too much even after they enclose the two open corners.

Looks like they'll be losing a bit off the top of the endzone bleachers, too.

Yea capacity isn't changing. Losing some height and seats off the SEZ and losing some seats from adding chairbacks to certain sections. The new Suites will keep capacity the same.

(http://i.imgur.com/qrH1aT4.jpg)

There's going to be a jumbotron running the partial length of the wall thats comparable in size to most stadiums jumbotrons. The new jumbotron in the SEZ, that was added in 2008 is getting replaced. The new SEZ tron will be the biggest in college football when built.

I think this qualifies now:

I was just out in Tempe and was told by a buddy out there that State Farm has paid Arizona State an obscene amount of money to have them open the bowl on Sun Devil Stadium so that there is a clear view of the field from their new regional headquarters that they are building across the street. They are losing about 6000 seats for this.

Well they never really needed that many in the first place, so I'm okay with it I guess. As long as it still has permanent bleachers on all four sides and at least one upper deck, it will still be big timey.

It's not the capacity issue. ASU is scheduled to spend 300 million on renovations that reduce the capacity down to around 65,000. This was on top of that. And the wedge that State Farm is taking out looks really weird when you drive past it. Imagine someone just took a slice right out of the middle of the WSC.

The general trend is for nicer stadiums, not necessarily bigger stadiums.

Of course Cult Aggie is one of the exceptions, but I feel comfortable in saying that they're building 10-20,000 regularly empty seats.   

I don't expect BSFS to ever be over 55K, but I do expect there to be another upscale seating area at some point in time, possibly tied to reno's of Bramlage.

OU isn't going to add that many seats in their next round, but the stadium is going to be really nice.

We are in era of less seats more amenities.    With HDTV and the quality of broadcasts these days, if you want to fill your stadium you have to provide higher end services to all.   Otherwise people are just going to stay at home.   Our previous athletic director listened to the idiocy of "devaluing the product" while charging full rates to entire groups of people receiving well below average in stadium services.   Thus, we chronically had 3-4,000 empty seats except for the biggest games.    Our new guy recognized that, and has and is taking the right steps.   This is why I am less concerned about a substantial drop in attendance should on field success drop some.   The AV experience is going to be dramatically improved in the next year, accessibility to in stadium services has and is being dramatically improved.   

Does anyone know if K-State awarded a DAS (Distributed Antenna System) contract which was supposed to have the first phase be implementation in BSFS and Bramlage?

I would totally buy that for $38,000.  I'd turn the press-box into a pretty legit home.  Every night before going to bed, I would re-enact the 2005 "Battle for the Wagon Wheel" against Kent State, which propelled the Zips to the MAC Championship Game.  I'd also conjure up the spirit of John Heisman and ask his ideas on Dickey, Bishop, Sproles and Klein.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you there.  I heard it was only for Bramlage this year so that they could "test" the system with a smaller capacity to work out all the kinks.  BSFS won't get it until late spring/early summer 2015.

McNeese guy you have nothing to be ashamed of.


OR DO YOU??? Still waiting on hoops arena pics. T-y.

Here is where we play right now, Burton Coliseum, except when we get kicked out in February by the Southwest District Livestock Show and Rodeo.  Then we have to go downtown and play in the Lake Charles Civic Center.   Burton holds 8,000 and the Civic Center holds about 5,000.   But we have a new on campus (North of the Field House seen in the Cowboy Stadium photo) arena in the planning stages.   Hope to be in it in a couple of years.

Seriously? Was it 200 degrees outside or something? Woof.

Also I've always found it weird when stadiums have end zone bleachers that reach higher than the sideline bleachers. It's what they have here, at Yulman Stadium, where I am posting this post from.  :Wha: :Wha: I'm also looking at you, Nebraska. I mean, I guess their renovations fixed this kinda, technically. But not completely when compared to the press box side. I mean, look how dumb this looked.

Except for one thing: no permanent bleachers behind one of the end zones. I mean why don't you just put up a janky Wagner Field sign and a bunch of folding chairs? Woof. But yeah, the addition of that upper deck is really elite.

But wait a minute. That upper deck. Which is it? With this being such a recent addition, why are there two very different upper deck pictures on Google? Which one is the right one? I seriously don't know because the game is off my TV and I haven't ever been there. Thoroughly confused.

I looked this up once but have since forgotten. Something to do with an old coach from the 20s or something. Mascot dispute with some other team. It's all there on the 'pedia.

I went and walked around Skelly Stadium and took some pictures last summer.  Here is that post.  It's a very nice stadium.  I've been to a lot of games there.  Fun place to watch a game.  Their crowds can be hit or miss tho.  Yes, that wall is real.

TULSA GOLDEN HURRICATS.

I was drove by TU tonight and took some pictures with phone.  Tulsa's stadium holds around 30,000.  Being the smallest D-1 school makes them short on alums, but they aren't short on money.  It's probably the nicest 30k stadium around.  Notice all the nice, foot traffic nightmare making, landscaping.   

Here's what you see when you walk up to the stadium:
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0439_zps39e50b00.jpg)


Here is the back side of their press box and concourse area.  There used to be an upper deck here that made the stadium seat 40k, but they only came close to filling it once a year for the Union/Jenks HS game.  They built it ~5 years ago and I guess its super nice on the inside.  There is a green area to the right of this where they always have 4-5 bouncy castles and big blow up slides for kids to play on.  During games there are about 6 concession trailers from restaurants that sell BBQ, Mexican, Funnel Cakes, ect.
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0438_zps906a20b1.jpg)


Here is another shot off concourse from the other side.  Those are student apartments on the right.  About every other
[1st floor apartment space isn't an apartment, but concession stands, fan shops, ect.
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0450_zpsd41163fd.jpg)


They left a gate open, so I was able to get onto the field.  Here is a shot of the the home side and the pressbox.
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0448_zps2cd66566.jpg)


Here is a shot of their south end zone video board.  They sell a lot of family packs to this area and all the seating is non-assigned.  Just to the right of this is the playground area.  Being the smallest D-1 school with a small alumni base and expensive tuition, they have to do all they can to get local families to come out.  Notice all the crape myrtles on either side.
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0447_zps1126292b.jpg)


Next is a shot of their field and east side.  Notice the seats in the middle section look different.  They have some chair-back seating on the other side as well. 
(http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y436/ksuhamburglar/IMG_0444_zpsda832675.jpg) 


Finally, here is the north end zone and football offices facility.  This picture is taken from the front of the student section on the west side.  Sorry about the sun behind it.  I took another from the other side to replace this picture, but it didn't come out right.

2. Coyote CraZiEs!!!!! Woah those guys sound like they are boNkeRs!
3. Drumset! Now we're rockin'! Boom Boom CLAP! BOOM BOOM CLAP!
4. Mascot means business!

Also SB the Palestra is cool. You are right. I like how the banners have triangles at the bottom and I also like the guy with the Chili's shirt. How do you get to sit up in that Crow's Nest thing at center court? That would be an awesome place to have a party.

Someone do the Beach's Pyramid....

Unbelievably weird arena. Went there in 2001 and snapped some pics on a box camera before the digital age. The bleachers are, like, mechanized to float to the ceiling or something. Wish I had 700 original SB pics to choose from but you'll just have to deal with these from the internet.

Guys, this stadium thread needs some juice. Anybody got any pud stadiums within a 6 mile radius that they haven't seen yet that they could throw in here? I would do it but I've already been to like every place in the country and world.

i keep thinking about going into Kemper but I'm chicken


YOU GOTTA DO IT! Believe it or not, I've never been in Kemper.

Fun venue story: the day our beloved Beasleykats played The USC Mayotrojans in the NCAA tourney, SB was on his way to visit his grandma in Tennessee. (Switching to first person now.) I  was on a really tight schedule and didn't have much time to dally, but planned it out so I could stop in Hattiesburg to watch the game in some sports bar near campus. Really was dying to see THE ROCK but had to hit the road right after the game. So what's a stadium aficionado to do? Just go to anew stadium town and NOT check it out? Obviously not. Totally sprinted across campus from the sports bar to THE ROCK in flip-flops the second our hoopkats game it ticked halftime, did some short exploring, then sprinted back just in time for the start of the second half. Suck on that, OJ.














Still haven't ever been to their huupz arena though. "The Eagles' Nest" is just a fun li'l name I came up with for it. :D

GREAT NEWS GUYS, FOUND THIS OTHER PHOTO FROM RIGHT AFTER THE GAME!

T-U-L we'll carry the banner high. T-U-L long long my the colors fly. Right after they finished singing their alma mater, this rabid block of students caused a national uproar when they stormed the court and viciously chicken winged a UAB player. Pretty sure a Blazers coach was nearly smothered to death against the press table in the ensuing melee, too.  This student section is basically the ISIS of American Conference fanbases.

University of Washington Huskykatz


That's right ladies and gentlemen, last night I saw someone write out the name of the drug Heroin but spell it with an E on the end, which obviously isn't right. Then that made me think of when all these Seattle musicians were doing Heroin and becoming junkies and then that made me think OH YEAH I'VE GOT A BUNCH OF HUSKYKAT PICTURES SOMEWHERE! I first went to their football stade about 2006 when it was its normal dumb old self. But then I saw it when they totally gutted it, then I went back when it was done. I guess you could say I'm an elite Seattle visit'r.

Their old stade before the renovations:
(http://media.kval.com/images/Husky+Stadium+Finale+_Furm.jpg)

Here's a site with a bunch of cool pictures of the stadium guttage. Would love for a construction cat to look at those and tell me why there are two weird dirty swimming pools on the field in the top picture.
http://www.collegiatestadiums.com/2012/04/19/photos-of-renovations-at-washintons-husky-stadium/ (http://www.collegiatestadiums.com/2012/04/19/photos-of-renovations-at-washintons-husky-stadium/)



I remember somewhere back on like page 7 or something someone asked me, "Hey SB. What's your secret for always getting into stadiums?" And I gave this really long, detailed, multi-bulleted plan for different ways you can sneak in. But I forgot one! #8 or whatever on that list should be, "show up when the campus is crawling with 10,000 Jehovah's Witnesses. Then as their weird convention is letting out of Husky Stadium, you can just slink into the gates and pretend like you're a JW even though everyone else is dressed in long suits in the middle of July and you're just wearing your 2012 Big XII Champs shirt." Shoulda been wearing my 1999 Holiday Bowl shirt though, just to really symbolically mush every single Husky face I saw straight into the toilet.







Here you can see the nice outer facade which would look even better with a big ol' History Awaits banner. (I say that because as you can see, until recently they also had a track lololololol). One of the upper decks is the only thing leftover from the old stadium, along with the massive overhang above the stands which blocks the rain and broadcasts to everyone on the planet just how Northwest'y that particular stadium is.  "Hey look at me I go to Oregon it rains a lot we have to have these overhangs."  "Oh yeah well I go to Oregon State and our overhang game is pretty on point too."  "Here at UW we have the biggest overhangs in the Pac-12."  :jerk:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5172_zpswbzrinwp.jpg)





It appears they brought the bleachers much closer to the stands for more elite sightlines toward whoever was the keynote Witness speaker, and they added much more elaborate layers of bleachers/suites on this side. It used to be pretty basic, but with the renovation this thing went from being a plain ol' baloney sandwich to one more suited for Dagwood. :love:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5176_zpsbx3a2avc.jpg)





This is the view that definitely still includes their old upper deck. It's the Husky Stade equivalent to the East Side bleachers. They jazzed it up underneath the big guy, though.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5176_zpsbx3a2avc.jpg)





Well that cute li'l End Zone Fun Zone bleacher configuration looks familiar. :D   It's well-known that they kept theirs downscaled so as to preserve the view of Lake Washington, much like we here at KSU Cats U did with our view of Lake Meatgoat.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5174_zpsbaiuohdb.jpg)





!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(http://files.gamebanana.com/img/ico/sprays/curves_ahead_pic.jpg)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And now we begin the series of photos I like to call, "OOOH, LOOK AT THOSE CURVES." Please note how their new stadium, which is otherwise pretty pud as the thread title implies, features really well-done, elegant, subtle curves with the bleacher configuration. I often wonder what Purple State Cats College stadium would look like if the bleachers were slightly curved vs. parallel to the out of bounds lines. BUT THAT'S FOR ANOTHER THREAD. Just...oooh, look at those curves.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5184_zpsdbwwo9zw.jpg)






Here you see a different view of their End Zone Fun Zone. Few things to notice here. 1) Who's that JW clown gettin' all up in my shot? 2) Elite, elegant, subtle bleacher curvature. :love:  3) Football practice field with spooky husky eyes on the wall.  4) Look at this cute li'l softball field! Man. Talk about wanting to roll a 'rena up and put it in your pocket and say hi to it all day. Wow, just wow. Get a load of those three-row bleachers extending halfway around the back of the wall, but then they cut it off in left field, presumably so there's no obstructions for lady softball'rs to hit whoppers that plunk in the lake. Can barely handle how adorbz it all is.

Have you ever seen a taller upper deck? The answer is no. I have been all over these 50 nifty and I legit can't think of a more top-heavy upper deck than this boheumith  boheemith big guy you see right here. Much quad workouts, so tall, or whatever. [/doge]

Alaska Airlines Arena, or as I like to call it, "Triple A" :D   It appears to be under some kind of restoration here (July 2014), because it's a suuuuper old gym. IMO, they did the "Ahearn echo" thing the right way. The Triple A, or Hec Edmunson Pavilion, or "HecEdPav," as I like to call it, is sweet. It's super old but has been constantly updated and feels modern. If I recall, the renovations were done five months later. Can't say for sure though, because my Canadian friend went to a Washington women's basketball game in December but had legally consumed too many zoot brownies beforehand and forgot to look for scaffolding.

So as you can see, you might as well call the triple-A "Bill" because it is very Raftery.

Concourse is a total joke. Hotel carpeting and almost no room to move. Definitely built when people were waaay skinnier. And if I'm being honest, the concessions were kind of a joke too. :flush:

Marv Harshman sounds like your elementary school band director.




And now we close out our extremely long UW Huskycats update. But not without a picture of this fine work of art. It hangs in a Seattle bar in Wallingford called The Grizzled Wizard, which might be the best bar on the planet (Drinx notwithstanding). Tons of comical gummy bear/Skittles/Swedish Fish infused vodkas, and free Pac-Man/Burger Time arcade 24/7. Also a massive mural on the wall of a giant wizard shooting lightning at you. And this.

if i'm being honest, this is my favorite thread on gE.c.  SB should consider going on a journey to every P5 stadium and writing up a review of it.  i'd pay good money for that book.  great job again, SB.

i'm surprised you didn't comment on how the press box interacts with the overhang -- at least I think that's the pressbox.  anyhow, those seats to the sides of whatever that is just at the base of the overhang are pretty lousy.  not michigan lousy, but still not good.

also, those speakers on the overhang are pretty impressive.  bet it gets really loud.

re. your point about tall upper decks, i was always struck by how tall A&M's endzones were.  Udub's may be taller though.

But I know what you mean, and thanks for noticing. Which is kind of how I feel in general about people who build stadiums with the press boxes IN the bleachers but angle it on the corners: "thanks for noticing. .....BUUUUT how about next time just do better." Even if you can technically see the whole field, there's still a ton of the stadium they can't see, and that's part of the game day experience, amirite? :frown:

Yeah, sometimes altering little things like that for a few seats can cost big money. What is weird is that this is the brand new grandstand. The old grandstand (1980s) on the other side was kept from the old stadium.

Hey friends, SB here again. Guys get ready because the sports complex we visit today has one truly bonkers bizarro venue and a couple others that are more normal but still have minor bonkers'y things about them. I mean this is the team that has two football stadiums in two different cities, which I'll address in a later post because it's superfluous right now and I know you guys are dying to see if they have any old ladies vacuuming the field at their main stade. So we're in Fayetteville, Arkansas today and buckle up cuz this is gonna be a wild one. We'll start with the football stadium, which is unusual but at least doesn't have any obstructed view seats. Then we'll trot across campus to Bud Wal-Mart arena, which is kinda cool but kinda cookie-cutter but kinda weird in that it chooses weird places for chain link fences and gigant basketball goals. Then I'll save the weirdest for last. Their old huupz arena. Lotsa architectural wtfs in that one.

Also the area around Fayetteville is supes :love:. PigAggieville was honestly pretty meh from what I was expecting for an SEC town of nearly 80,000 that is the only BCS team in the state. Then again, Baton Rouge sucks balls, so what do I know? Okay, set your clocks back to December 4th, 2011 because once again here on goEMAW.com it's time to dig into the pig.



University of Arkansas Razorcats



Despite what you might think you see here, the field at Hog U. Stadium isn't actually made out of the top of this building. Just looks that way because of an optical illusion in the foreground. :eek: :eek: :eek:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5710_zpskgasevbl.jpg)





See? You can see the same building in the foreground of this picture of the stadium, before its expansion/redesign. (I think the upper deck in this 1970s'y photo may have been knocked down and rebuilt during their massive 2001 renovations, a la Washington and also a la LSU? Not sure. Actually, pretty sure. But not positive.)

(http://www.aymag.com/NWA-UofAStadiumSept2013-OldStadium.jpg)





So this stade has been around forever, but you'd never know it by its design. I think they kinda did a great job modernizing the style with expansions so it didn't feel like an old stadium where they just cobbled together a bunch of other new crap, like what clearly happened at Texas. I mean I legitimately thought that Pig Agg had built an entirely new stadium in 2001. Then again, 2001 SB barely knew anything about the world.  :Chirp:

Pretty tall. A little bit of a hole-in-the-ground, but mostly just recessed in a valley which offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding majestic rolling mountains. You know, just like at KU. (T's and P's on that cheap-looking siding, though. If I were Jim Williams & Jim, I'd be pissed.)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5712_zpsymanuyl9.jpg)




View from the other side. You can actually make out where their tiny old press box was. Actually you know what? I take back what I said before. This part is cobbled together hardcore. They probably should've just demolished that old press box entirely. I mean can you imagine if ksu cats state u. had just built the WSC around The Dev, and before that had built The Dev around that old press box that said "Fightin' Wildcats" and had all the Big 8 Team logos? This is basically the Russian Babooshka dolls of press boxes. Pig Aggy: wtf were you thinking?? Just tear it down. Surely it's not that nice in there.

Look at this hill and chain link fence. They want to be us so bad. :cool:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5714_zpsnxqtzdyi.jpg)






Hey great old press box and great old bishop stadium lights, where'd you get those things, bishop stadium amirite lmao?

Put all your problems on ICE. (See also: PARTY PLANNING)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5716_zpsdaouedwm.jpg)






Man. What a great ratio of upper deck rows to lower deck rows. I like it. Bonus points: can you spot the section of original seats on this side from like 1931 when this stadium seated 13,000 people? :D

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5717_zpslcbgglcs.jpg)






And here we have the thing that makes me super mad. You have this insane, architecturally elaborate, very legit, mostly new stadium. BUILD PERMANENT BLEACHERS ON ALL FOUR SIDES. Who are you, rough ridin' Nicholls State? Are you goddamn Tulsa? Have some self respect and put at least 10 rows of permanent bleachers on that side so you can call it a rough ridin' day. Drives me absolutely insane. Looks so small-timey. (Razorback mural thingy is p. cool tho, and at least it makes it very obvious where to put the stage when they inevitably have a 3 Doors Down concert for 70,000 adoring locals.)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5718_zps4ia4eyw1.jpg)




 

So up there is where I really figured out the weirdest part of that stadium. (Now SB is gonna steal a few photos from The Series of Tubes to explain what he means.) For many years, when you saw it shown on TV, it always looked like this:

(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1321/1339288131_a106b79c02_b.jpg)
"Whoa, what a huge stadium! Even the upper deck end zones have like 20 rows and have some weird cutouts! Big stade!"

Then Arky kinda starts to suck a little bit and fewer people come and the game comes back from commercial and they're accidentally showing the empty seats up top and you're like, "Wait a minute. Are those.......are those falsies?"
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3244/2996637599_672ea88dee_o.jpg)
And the answer is yes. They have major super duper temporary metal bleachers that they prolly make a bunch of pud arky state grads lug all the way up there. (lmao, just a little arkansas in-state rivalry joke there for you guys)

And then, when they're in the midst of a truly horrible season with a fat slob football coach who made a truly lateral move, you sneak in, and those bleachers are completely gone and now it's just a weird small 3-row upper deck with this massive concrete slab full of benches behind it. You feel duped, because what was once a towering and impressive end zone upper deck has been reduced to a place where the AD throws up some tents and sells diet pepsis and where the teens get bored with the game and congregate up there and talk about which Abercrombie Eagle jeans they're going to buy that week. Stupid teens. Anyway, here's my blurry photo from before which shows the bleachers completely taken away because their team was so LOL last year.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5714_zpsnxqtzdyi.jpg)






I mean srsly. Look at how pud that end zone looks from way up here behind the top row (row 4) of the other end zone. Just get some bleachers, guys. But srsly it was p. high up. Even a runner cat like myself got way winded when climbing up the stairs to the top of that end zone stade. Was so high up, you guys! Probably woulda been even higher up if they actually put permanent bleachers up there. :eek: (Doors were locked to the sideline upper deck sections, sorry, so this is all we get for views.)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5719_zpsiq3syoqg.jpg)


Okay, time to travel across campus.












So from the outside, Bud Weiser Arena is super lolzy. Hey building: why are you plaid? Are you Al Borland?

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5728_zpsgwjfrb9k.jpg)





Al's mom.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5729_zpsc6eijr38.jpg)






I think the arrangement of all the banners is cool, even if looking closely at the individual banners you see that they look a little New Mexico'y. Also the streamers in the rafters are very "SB's 8th birthday party'y."

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5730_zpssmekbquz.jpg)





I mean that basketball goal jumbotron is so ridiculous. Look at it and try not to laugh.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5731_zpsbj9u18xe.jpg)





Guys I'm going to come clean. I love the razorback logo.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5732_zpsom2klofw.jpg)

But I loved the old one so much more. It was an enthusiastic, sloppy, slobbering mess. Kinda reminded me of every member of the Tool Time audience whenever Heidi walked out to show off the latest Binford radial saw.
(http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/budwalton.jpg)






Okay so let's step up the weird.

You guys probably should've built the ceiling like 20 feet higher because these rafters are all up in my grill.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5733_zps8s0m3czs.jpg)





HEY ARKANSAS. Explain to me why you have a fence here at the top row of your upper deck. Explain it to me. Explain why, when I'm watching a Razorhogs game from the top row here in Pud Walton Arena and I turn around to see what's behind me -- inside of a motherfucking basketball arena -- why I see this fence. Tell me why you didn't just build a wall. Tell me. Tell me why you went with a fence. Are you expecting the top half of Wilson's face to pop over and dispense sage advice to you when you're having marital problems? Because I'm looking at it and it's chain link instead of a wood fence so surely it can't be that. :don'tcare:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5734_zpsvptxld8d.jpg)






Just take this arena, tie it around my waist, rip some holes in my jeans, crank up some tunes from Seattle's own Stone Temple Pilots, and what do you have? 7th grade SkinnyBenny.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5735_zpslo8dd3xw.jpg)






Okay guys that's enough from Bug Walgreen's Arena. Time to move on to the really weird. Barnhill Arena. Used to be basketball, now is just like volleyball and gymnastics. I was super pumped to see this place because you guys know me and you know just how much I love googling teams' old Ahearn-type arenas or whatever. You know, the more traditional, conventional places teams used to play before they got a new modern look -- like, say, if you were only familiar with the goth version of Mark Taylor from the later seasons but got curious and wanted to know what he looked like earlier on when he was just the Tool Man's unassuming runt.

WELL THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. There is nothing conventional about PigAggy's old arena. This isn't just some gym. It is the most bizarre-ass layout I have ever seen for a gym. Ever. Today we're going to learn more about Barnhill Arena, gang. (We'll call ourselves The Barnhill Gang and do bluegrass versions of Sugarhill Gang songs.) This place is honestly so weird that with my camera phone, there was, like, nowhere you could be to truly capture the weird essence of this layout. So this is mostly gonna be more professional photos with a few of mine mixed in.



First, give yourself an idea and look at the footprint of the building. It's the one above the grass practice field. Looks fairly standard but may a LIL bit unusual.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/5075792274_9c4f2e4628_b.jpg)





I got in there because they happened to be playing a volleyball game against Mississippi State. First thing you'll notice is that, like the arenas of Alabama and Butler, the court is oriented 90 degrees away from what you'd expect with the way the ceiling runs. In other words, think if they had rotated the Ahearn court one turn. Then look at the rafters. Creates a major wtf effect. Also notice that the baseline bleachers go up into the GD heavens.  :Wha: :Wha: :Wha:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5723_zpspe7skqbn.jpg)



The areas behind the baskets were so weird. What arenas have their End Zone Fun Zones be so skinny yet go up sooooooo high? LOLOLOLOL:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5725_zps5rji5evb.jpg)







Now my favorite part. Look at that weird-ass, tiny, disconnected wedge section of bleachers. Look at it.  What are those seats pointing to??? AM I SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING  A GOOD VIEW OF THE PEOPLE SITTING BEHIND THE BASKET??? ARE YOU TRYING TO EMULATE THE END ZONE BLEACHERS AT McNEESE STATE? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

(http://www.playnwa.com/media/fayetteville_images/barnhill.jpg)



I'm gonna try to find some more good pictures of these, because they are in all four corners in one way or another. If I were one of those annoying chicks who says, "I can't even!" when she's frustrated, then I would put that phrase right here. Instead, I'll just say that each one of those bizarre sections made less sense to me than the fact that Jill Taylor EVER let Tim do ANY home repair when she KNEW it would end with him electrocuting himself and/or getting his foot stuck in a cement bucket.


Seriously. Wut.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5727_zpsjnzbyg3a.jpg)

LOLWUT.

WUT IS THIS FLOOR PLAN.

Hey friends, SB here again. Guys get ready because the sports complex we visit today has one truly bonkers bizarro venue and a couple others that are more normal but still have minor bonkers'y things about them. I mean this is the team that has two football stadiums in two different cities, which I'll address in a later post because it's superfluous right now and I know you guys are dying to see if they have any old ladies vacuuming the field at their main stade. So we're in Fayetteville, Arkansas today and buckle up cuz this is gonna be a wild one. We'll start with the football stadium, which is unusual but at least doesn't have any obstructed view seats. Then we'll trot across campus to Bud Wal-Mart arena, which is kinda cool but kinda cookie-cutter but kinda weird in that it chooses weird places for chain link fences and gigant basketball goals. Then I'll save the weirdest for last. Their old huupz arena. Lotsa architectural wtfs in that one.

Also the area around Fayetteville is supes :love:. PigAggieville was honestly pretty meh from what I was expecting for an SEC town of nearly 80,000 that is the only BCS team in the state. Then again, Baton Rouge sucks balls, so what do I know? Okay, set your clocks back to December 4th, 2011 because once again here on goEMAW.com it's time to dig into the pig.



University of Arkansas Razorcats



Despite what you might think you see here, the field at Hog U. Stadium isn't actually made out of the top of this building. Just looks that way because of an optical illusion in the foreground. :eek: :eek: :eek:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5710_zpskgasevbl.jpg)





See? You can see the same building in the foreground of this picture of the stadium, before its expansion/redesign. (I think the upper deck in this 1970s'y photo may have been knocked down and rebuilt during their massive 2001 renovations, a la Washington and also a la LSU? Not sure. Actually, pretty sure. But not positive.)

(http://www.aymag.com/NWA-UofAStadiumSept2013-OldStadium.jpg)

Hey friends, SB here again. Guys get ready because the sports complex we visit today has one truly bonkers bizarro venue and a couple others that are more normal but still have minor bonkers'y things about them. I mean this is the team that has two football stadiums in two different cities, which I'll address in a later post because it's superfluous right now and I know you guys are dying to see if they have any old ladies vacuuming the field at their main stade. So we're in Fayetteville, Arkansas today and buckle up cuz this is gonna be a wild one. We'll start with the football stadium, which is unusual but at least doesn't have any obstructed view seats. Then we'll trot across campus to Bud Wal-Mart arena, which is kinda cool but kinda cookie-cutter but kinda weird in that it chooses weird places for chain link fences and gigant basketball goals. Then I'll save the weirdest for last. Their old huupz arena. Lotsa architectural wtfs in that one.

Also the area around Fayetteville is supes :love:. PigAggieville was honestly pretty meh from what I was expecting for an SEC town of nearly 80,000 that is the only BCS team in the state. Then again, Baton Rouge sucks balls, so what do I know? Okay, set your clocks back to December 4th, 2011 because once again here on goEMAW.com it's time to dig into the pig.



University of Arkansas Razorcats



Despite what you might think you see here, the field at Hog U. Stadium isn't actually made out of the top of this building. Just looks that way because of an optical illusion in the foreground. :eek: :eek: :eek:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5710_zpskgasevbl.jpg)





See? You can see the same building in the foreground of this picture of the stadium, before its expansion/redesign. (I think the upper deck in this 1970s'y photo may have been knocked down and rebuilt during their massive 2001 renovations, a la Washington and also a la LSU? Not sure. Actually, pretty sure. But not positive.)

(http://www.aymag.com/NWA-UofAStadiumSept2013-OldStadium.jpg)





So this stade has been around forever, but you'd never know it by its design. I think they kinda did a great job modernizing the style with expansions so it didn't feel like an old stadium where they just cobbled together a bunch of other new crap, like what clearly happened at Texas. I mean I legitimately thought that Pig Agg had built an entirely new stadium in 2001. Then again, 2001 SB barely knew anything about the world.  :Chirp:

Pretty tall. A little bit of a hole-in-the-ground, but mostly just recessed in a valley which offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding majestic rolling mountains. You know, just like at KU. (T's and P's on that cheap-looking siding, though. If I were Jim Williams & Jim, I'd be pissed.)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5712_zpsymanuyl9.jpg)




View from the other side. You can actually make out where their tiny old press box was. Actually you know what? I take back what I said before. This part is cobbled together hardcore. They probably should've just demolished that old press box entirely. I mean can you imagine if ksu cats state u. had just built the WSC around The Dev, and before that had built The Dev around that old press box that said "Fightin' Wildcats" and had all the Big 8 Team logos? This is basically the Russian Babooshka dolls of press boxes. Pig Aggy: wtf were you thinking?? Just tear it down. Surely it's not that nice in there.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5713_zpsuz8i2aba.jpg)





Look at this hill and chain link fence. They want to be us so bad. :cool:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5714_zpsnxqtzdyi.jpg)






Hey great old press box and great old bishop stadium lights, where'd you get those things, bishop stadium amirite lmao?

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5715_zps4uhea7g6.jpg)






Put all your problems on ICE. (See also: PARTY PLANNING)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5716_zpsdaouedwm.jpg)






Man. What a great ratio of upper deck rows to lower deck rows. I like it. Bonus points: can you spot the section of original seats on this side from like 1931 when this stadium seated 13,000 people? :D

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5717_zpslcbgglcs.jpg)






And here we have the thing that makes me super mad. You have this insane, architecturally elaborate, very legit, mostly new stadium. BUILD PERMANENT BLEACHERS ON ALL FOUR SIDES. Who are you, rough ridin' Nicholls State? Are you goddamn Tulsa? Have some self respect and put at least 10 rows of permanent bleachers on that side so you can call it a rough ridin' day. Drives me absolutely insane. Looks so small-timey. (Razorback mural thingy is p. cool tho, and at least it makes it very obvious where to put the stage when they inevitably have a 3 Doors Down concert for 70,000 adoring locals.)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5718_zps4ia4eyw1.jpg)




 

So up there is where I really figured out the weirdest part of that stadium. (Now SB is gonna steal a few photos from The Series of Tubes to explain what he means.) For many years, when you saw it shown on TV, it always looked like this:

(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1321/1339288131_a106b79c02_b.jpg)
"Whoa, what a huge stadium! Even the upper deck end zones have like 20 rows and have some weird cutouts! Big stade!"

Then Arky kinda starts to suck a little bit and fewer people come and the game comes back from commercial and they're accidentally showing the empty seats up top and you're like, "Wait a minute. Are those.......are those falsies?"
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3244/2996637599_672ea88dee_o.jpg)
And the answer is yes. They have major super duper temporary metal bleachers that they prolly make a bunch of pud arky state grads lug all the way up there. (lmao, just a little arkansas in-state rivalry joke there for you guys)

And then, when they're in the midst of a truly horrible season with a fat slob football coach who made a truly lateral move, you sneak in, and those bleachers are completely gone and now it's just a weird small 3-row upper deck with this massive concrete slab full of benches behind it. You feel duped, because what was once a towering and impressive end zone upper deck has been reduced to a place where the AD throws up some tents and sells diet pepsis and where the teens get bored with the game and congregate up there and talk about which Abercrombie Eagle jeans they're going to buy that week. Stupid teens. Anyway, here's my blurry photo from before which shows the bleachers completely taken away because their team was so LOL last year.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5714_zpsnxqtzdyi.jpg)






I mean srsly. Look at how pud that end zone looks from way up here behind the top row (row 4) of the other end zone. Just get some bleachers, guys. But srsly it was p. high up. Even a runner cat like myself got way winded when climbing up the stairs to the top of that end zone stade. Was so high up, you guys! Probably woulda been even higher up if they actually put permanent bleachers up there. :eek: (Doors were locked to the sideline upper deck sections, sorry, so this is all we get for views.)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5719_zpsiq3syoqg.jpg)


Okay, time to travel across campus.












So from the outside, Bud Weiser Arena is super lolzy. Hey building: why are you plaid? Are you Al Borland?

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5728_zpsgwjfrb9k.jpg)





Al's mom.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5729_zpsc6eijr38.jpg)






I think the arrangement of all the banners is cool, even if looking closely at the individual banners you see that they look a little New Mexico'y. Also the streamers in the rafters are very "SB's 8th birthday party'y."

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5730_zpssmekbquz.jpg)





I mean that basketball goal jumbotron is so ridiculous. Look at it and try not to laugh.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5731_zpsbj9u18xe.jpg)





Guys I'm going to come clean. I love the razorback logo.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5732_zpsom2klofw.jpg)

But I loved the old one so much more. It was an enthusiastic, sloppy, slobbering mess. Kinda reminded me of every member of the Tool Time audience whenever Heidi walked out to show off the latest Binford radial saw.
(http://kentuckysportsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/budwalton.jpg)






Okay so let's step up the weird.

You guys probably should've built the ceiling like 20 feet higher because these rafters are all up in my grill.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5733_zps8s0m3czs.jpg)





HEY ARKANSAS. Explain to me why you have a fence here at the top row of your upper deck. Explain it to me. Explain why, when I'm watching a Razorhogs game from the top row here in Pud Walton Arena and I turn around to see what's behind me -- inside of a motherfucking basketball arena -- why I see this fence. Tell me why you didn't just build a wall. Tell me. Tell me why you went with a fence. Are you expecting the top half of Wilson's face to pop over and dispense sage advice to you when you're having marital problems? Because I'm looking at it and it's chain link instead of a wood fence so surely it can't be that. :don'tcare:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5734_zpsvptxld8d.jpg)






Just take this arena, tie it around my waist, rip some holes in my jeans, crank up some tunes from Seattle's own Stone Temple Pilots, and what do you have? 7th grade SkinnyBenny.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5735_zpslo8dd3xw.jpg)






Okay guys that's enough from Bug Walgreen's Arena. Time to move on to the really weird. Barnhill Arena. Used to be basketball, now is just like volleyball and gymnastics. I was super pumped to see this place because you guys know me and you know just how much I love googling teams' old Ahearn-type arenas or whatever. You know, the more traditional, conventional places teams used to play before they got a new modern look -- like, say, if you were only familiar with the goth version of Mark Taylor from the later seasons but got curious and wanted to know what he looked like earlier on when he was just the Tool Man's unassuming runt.

WELL THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. There is nothing conventional about PigAggy's old arena. This isn't just some gym. It is the most bizarre-ass layout I have ever seen for a gym. Ever. Today we're going to learn more about Barnhill Arena, gang. (We'll call ourselves The Barnhill Gang and do bluegrass versions of Sugarhill Gang songs.) This place is honestly so weird that with my camera phone, there was, like, nowhere you could be to truly capture the weird essence of this layout. So this is mostly gonna be more professional photos with a few of mine mixed in.



First, give yourself an idea and look at the footprint of the building. It's the one above the grass practice field. Looks fairly standard but may a LIL bit unusual.
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/5075792274_9c4f2e4628_b.jpg)





I got in there because they happened to be playing a volleyball game against Mississippi State. First thing you'll notice is that, like the arenas of Alabama and Butler, the court is oriented 90 degrees away from what you'd expect with the way the ceiling runs. In other words, think if they had rotated the Ahearn court one turn. Then look at the rafters. Creates a major wtf effect. Also notice that the baseline bleachers go up into the GD heavens.  :Wha: :Wha: :Wha:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5723_zpspe7skqbn.jpg)



The areas behind the baskets were so weird. What arenas have their End Zone Fun Zones be so skinny yet go up sooooooo high? LOLOLOLOL:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_5725_zps5rji5evb.jpg)







Now my favorite part. Look at that weird-ass, tiny, disconnected wedge section of bleachers. Look at it.  What are those seats pointing to??? AM I SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING  A GOOD VIEW OF THE PEOPLE SITTING BEHIND THE BASKET??? ARE YOU TRYING TO EMULATE THE END ZONE BLEACHERS AT McNEESE STATE? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?

(http://www.playnwa.com/media/fayetteville_images/barnhill.jpg)



I'm gonna try to find some more good pictures of these, because they are in all four corners in one way or another. If I were one of those annoying chicks who says, "I can't even!" when she's frustrated, then I would put that phrase right here. Instead, I'll just say that each one of those bizarre sections made less sense to me than the fact that Jill Taylor EVER let Tim do ANY home repair when she KNEW it would end with him electrocuting himself and/or getting his foot stuck in a cement bucket.

Real talk?  I kind of like the babooshka thing.  I think it's neat.  Kind of a make new friends but remember the old, type of thing, know what i mean?

I never really knew what was going on with the fence.  Is it separating the concourse from the seats?  Is it separating the seats from the outside?  What is beyond the fence?  I'm confounded by it.

I'm pretty sure it looks out over the concourse far below. But not positive because it has actually been like 9 moz. since I was there to see it. Either way, just make it a solid wall. I mean wtf.

Oh, they're not held up by scaffolding at ground level, or anything; they're just placed on this massive cement patio-like thingy right underneath it. Since Arkansas started to suck and they took out the temporary bleachers, it's basically just this massive party deck now.

Oooh. If you could somehow worm your way into the new USC arena, I'd love to see like 20 photos and a brutal takedown of that. Would be cool. Also do yourself a favor and get to Long Beach State's weird Pyramid arena. I know it has been talked about in this thread already, but my word. It's just so weird on the inside.

If they can time travel to pick up a humpback whale and build a clear aluminum aquarium tank onboard, then surely they could get a T-Rex on there.

While yall were enjoying FF15, I was burning my eyes with the images of LA's stadiums

CAL STATE FULLERTON TITANCATS

This whole sports complex is totally pud. But it was so close that I had to pick it apart.

This is their press box, or suites or whatever. Wasn't really worth my time to walk down the stairs, across the field, and then back up to snag some photos.
(http://i.imgur.com/gYkUj5i.jpg)

This is their Vanier. Pretty high schooly. I can only imagine what the what the inside looks like.
(http://i.imgur.com/Z1PsSht.jpg)

Their stadium "seating" is just the mold forms. I guess this is the away side. But there are no metal seats or benches.

The fan amenities need some work.

Also I visited USC and UCLAs campus/facilites.

USC Trojancats

Honestly, everything about USC was complete and utter crap. The only good thing near/around the stadium was this nice chik-fil-a that I had lunch at. But besides that, its is totally crappy.

I wasnt able to actually get into the stadium. They were setting up for some concert or something. But honestly just from looking outside-in, it was a time saver.

(http://i.imgur.com/rpZJ33A.jpg)

They had some naked people, schlong, boobs and all,outside the front gates.
(http://i.imgur.com/6Rg0Hc4.jpg)

(http://i.imgur.com/UBIUm9I.jpg)



Now with the UCLA Bruincats, I am not gonna lie, their campus is rough ridin' nice. The actual campus itself and all the multi-million dollar homes that line the perimeter of it. However, their sports facilities are so far from elite, that the previous statement cancels with this one. I didnt want to drive another hour to Pasadena, (where their home field is for whatever the eff reason[Rose bowl]). It could have been easy for me to snag some photos of their formerly great Bball pavilion (idk why they use that term), because they were having their commencement ceremonies. Why they have them in the middle of June is besides me. But traffic/parking was a pain in the ass, so I said eff it and cruised around B-Hills and Hollywood for the rest of the day.

I thought about it. I didnt though because traffic sucks ass and I put in 5 hours of driving to just make those rounds. I will probably go up to see the RB in person just to do it.

Almost every sports venue is crap or in a really crappy part of the city. (minus the staples center)

that's definitely not a slam dunk.

i will not rest until I have this scoreboard/playclock holding a Coke, wearing its own shoe, playing a sega game featuring the scoreboard/playclock, while singing a scoreboard/playclock song in a new commercial, starring scoreboard/playclock, broadcast during the Superbowl, in a game that the scoreboard/playclock are working, and I will not sleep until that happens. I'll give you fifteen minutes to call me back.

Was there for the game against Cal Poly earlier this year. They've made small improvements so far but the stadium is a long way from being considered nice. Biggest shame is that Tempe let all these businesses build right north of the stadium and block the awesome views from the upper deck.

Wanted to go to the Oregon game last night but my buddy bailed  :frown:

They're doing to Miami's stadium what they're doing to Sun Devil Stadium. Except they're doing it better in Miami (which is shocking because Joe Robbie Stadium has always been an idiotically planned piece of crap). Sleek website, to boot.

Snuck into the Liberty Bowl. Any other goEMAW'rs in here right now? If so, 'pak?

Welp it's been over a year and many of you will be reading this post on the world famous Tapatalk app on your phones in the parking lot of this very stadium, so I guess there's no better time than the present to dissect the world famous footballin' home of the footballin'

University of Memphis Tigercats


If you're at today's game you'll likely notice that this stadium has been renown through the years for many things, but most notable of all is that it has always maintained a 7:2 ratio of parking lot cones to press boxes.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0304_zpszvchaxbe.jpg)


When you bought your ticket for the Liberty Bowl did you have any idea that you were stepping into Curve City, USA? It's so weird. It's like some kind of fun house or something. The only other stadium I can think of that compares in wibbly-wobbly, woogily-googily curviness is the old Tampa Bay Bucccanneeers' stadium where Whitney Houston did the national anthem for the Super Bowl. (A performance which would later win a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice award, if I'm not mistaken.)

Look at this photo! Look at it! You can't find a straight line anywere. Except on the press box elevator shaft, which rises in stately, straight fashion against a background of trippy-ass curves. Oh, and look at that adorbs light post they put on top of it. :D It reminds me of Quail Man's headpiece. :D :D
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0307_zpsrf8zmlwr.jpg)


oh man, try to find the wee little baby scoreboard. omg, it's like a Mountaineer Field tunnel over here. :ump:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0308_zpsnpcudgok.jpg)

P.S. They really configured those lights like a buncha bozos.


This next photo here is a stadium reviewer's dream and nightmare. So much to talk about, where do I even start? Well I guess I'll just jump right in with those weird-ass end zones. Hopefully for the game today they've replaced the tiger stripes in the K-State end zone with the elegant stripes of our official bobcat mascot Touchdown IX. Hogs don't have stripes, but I can only assume they decorated the Arky end zone with green stink lines or something.

The press box on this side is weird. It doesn't match the other press box, so I'm assuming the one in this photo is actually mostly suites for Mario Chalmers' reading tutors or something. It reminds me of...I don't quite know what. Like some sci-fi character or cartoon character or something. Maybe Ickis from AAH! Real Monsters? Maybe Bender from that annoying Futurama show that everyone pretends is funny? Dunno. Either way, I like how they just decided to build it INSIDE OF THE STADIUM instead of over the top of it. Very pud. Many obstructed view seats up there in row 100 (and all over, for that matter). Oh and a warning to any qat fans sitting on the 50 yard-line in the top row: when Bazooka Joe does his thing today and slings it all over the field for 450 passing yards and 8 TDs, be careful of jumping up in celebration because you will straight bonk your head on the underside of that press box.

Also I like how they just sorta randomly threw in 3 or 4 rows of seatbacks. Weird placement, weird decision. Weird design. Doesn't even spell MEMPHIS across 7 sections or anything.

OMG look at the little portal entrance thingies that take you from the concourse into the stadium. The higher row is super duper crooked, like how a 7 year-old would freehand draw it. That's just the price of admission here in Curve City, USA.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0310_zpsr6vmff8q.jpg)



If you are unlucky enough to have one of the literally tens of thousands of seats in this stadium with at least a slightly obstructed view, fear not: they have this huge jumbotron for replays.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0311_zpstzhh3cal.jpg)



omglolfartjk they have a real jumbotron. And you don't have to worry about it tumbling down during the game because it is very well-supported. I'm no structural engineering major or Inspector 34 from Pete and Pete, but that thing looks pretty solid to me. Lots of beams and cross-beams and I-beams and stuff. It ain't goin' anywhere. You can just tell they got dat FedEx money.

Oh man, check out those tarps. Combine them with the small ESPN banner below and the rainy day I took these photos and I just get really sad. :frown:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0312_zpsv9hfcvwm.jpg)

True confession: I know that Inspector 34 actually only inspected underwear, not stadium jumbotrons. I'm just in it for the Nickolodeon references today.


Will you reach the century mark at the 2016 Liberty Bowl? When I climbed this mountain my quads hurt worse than my pride did when I got slimed that one time on "You Can't Do That On Television" :eek:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0314_zpsoug2r6yc.jpg)



Sure, go ahead and put a press box there, nobody's tryin to watch a game or anything. If I were sitting in row 100 and I had a word with the stadium architects I would tell them to MOVE THAT GIGANTIC COTTON CANDY. (My refs are all over the place today.)

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0315_zpseyewgelh.jpg)



Look at this old timey bench at the top row! It's so cute. It reminds me of like what the stadiums probably looked like in 1890 when K-State was playing Ft. Riley High School at the Bluemont Fairgrounds or w/e

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0316_zpsirn2mvjr.jpg)



So precious few Tigercats have paid for chairback seating :frown:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_0317_zpsn433w1lm.jpg)



So there you go Cat fans, enjoy your experience today. In regards to playing in the Liberty Bowl, it's our first year ever so expect to walk in and hear the Marchin' Hogs Pep Band playing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH50ZF9QPmQ

Over christmas, my uncle who was a running back at Wichita State in the 70s, told me that the tigercats used to put an actual tiger at the end of the ramp to the visitor's locker room, so you had to run by a large cat at the start of the game, half.   They really knew how to PI back in the day.

Looks interesting Dax.  It seemed a bit sterile, to be honest.  However, as I watched the vid, I was a bit worried.  I had to ask myself if ECU were still segregated.  I mean, it is the south, and the crowd appeared to be all white.  :opcat:

Fortunately, after carefully re-watching the video, I did notice that out of the thousands of "fans" pictured, 2 were clearly African American, and 2 more were of indeterminate race.  Glad to see the south being inclusive. Initially it felt like I were viewing a dream game in Lawrentucky.

ECU PIRATEQHATZ

Press box seems pretty pud and the lights on that side seem very "USFL'y" but once they get that straightened out their stades will look much more legit.

:lol: These bleachers on the opposite side of where this pic was taken weren't always like that. They obviously destroyed an upper level section or 2 to make way for the new Vanier, whose bleachers are SO HIGH UP YET CLOSE TO THE VERTICALITY OF THE BACK OF THE END ZONE. If you sat in those seats I have to think you'd only be able to see like the furthest 80 yards of the entire field. So many lolz

To eat right, you got to stay in shape, and that break down in 2 category. Number 1, staying off that junk food and number 2, making exercise. Now, lot of you ladies out there think cut out the carbs, and that big butt shrink right up. My whole thing is this, Karl Malone work out, hard. Now, Karl Malone love them carbs too, especially them Nutter Butter bars, all nuttery and buttery. And that's good food right there, but to get into top-tip shape, Karl Malone work out.

ECU will probably always be an outsider, but once they do that pressbox project and make several substantial additions to their "Vanier" their stadium will be pretty legit, it's already not bad now except for that pressbox.   If they have a good to decent team they'll put 45,000 plus in their for most games, which isn't bad considering their only T-Shirt fans are in their immediate geographic area. 

Their likely scenario once conference realignment shakes out is a 'best of the rest' conference with Memphis, CFU, La. Tech, So. Miss, Tulsa, SMU, Houston, Temple, I could also see some MAC schools in there as well.

Greenville and ECU are basically exactly like MHK/KSU except without the major conference distinction. They already put 45,000 in there per game if not 50k.

2.  That section just to the Endzone Fun Zone side of their WSC is ridiculous.

Georgia Tech has an off-center scoreboard too. But not THAT off-center. So when you break into their stade and stand on the field and imagine yourself kicking the game winner, when you look up at the goalposts with the off-center scoreboard behing it, it reeeally plays tricks on your mind.

Coliseum is gross. It's like so ginormous that you know that it's not even impressive because you know just how many seats are useless in terms of seeing the game. I have no idea wtf they are thinking with that press box. No idea. Kinda unconscionable that you could relegate so very many thousands of people to obstructed views like that. Also their band only plays one song. Also SB dad went to UCLA. So a big fat no thanks on USC.

Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Catjuns


Way back on September 12, 2009, exactly eight years and one day after 9/11, Little Manhattan was hit by its own Little Disaster in Lafayette, LA. I was there on a ridiculously rainy Saturday night watching helplessly as Cajun terrorists relentlessly attacked the qats' own Twin Towers of Keithen Valentine and Josh Cherry.  It was a 17-15 wet fart of a game, broadcast exclusively on this new thing called "ESPN3."

The pregame tailgating was great. I drank out of a beerzooka with some hot chicks and my buddy accidentally deuced in our hosts' 5-star portapotty urinal and then when he realized right afterward that it was only supposed to be for pee, he had to prod the dung down the tiny drain with the leftover cardboard from a spent paper towel roll. I saw a fat guy with no shirt on in an above-ground pool that they had set up in the parking lot of the stadium do the Billy Madison move where you drunkenly hold a keg over your head but then accidentally fall over. But he was IN A POOL. Oh and it was pouring rain so he was at risk for lightning strike but he just dngaf :surprised:

I spent the too much of that day wizard staffing and getting psyched to watch Josh Cherry go 0-fer on field goals to visit any of their other facilities. I wanted to see their weird huupz stade, but my dreams came crumbling down that day. But just like with our nation's most horrible disaster ever, I #NeverForget. 5 years, 9 months, and 28 days after our loss to Louisiana-Lafayette -- and a full 13 years, 9 months, and 29 days after 9/11 -- I would make my return. These are the pictures of their weird huupz stade. And maybe a couple other things.

Ground Zero.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3066_zpsiylaeemp.jpg)

btw, this stadium is a tater dream/nightmare scenario. Tons of parking lots surrounding the stadium :excited: , but also would you just look at all those trees :ohno:


Okay, now let's talk about their super weird basketball arena. It happens to be called the Cajundome, which is both an accurate description of what it is AND a great nickname for your then-girlfriend. Here's a picture I stole from Wikipedia. I think this was probably taken during an actual ULL basketball game, because there are nearly 70 cars in this parking lot. When I went there, however, there were no cars there because it was July and I broke in.

Even from the outside you can tell it's weird. I mean it can't decide if it wants to be a boob or a spaceship or a watertower or what. And uptop where the nipple would be, it's like it has a little square cork stopper thingy like you would find in a fancy bottle of booze (http://fridasmaui.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Fridas-Tequila-Maui-1030x569.jpg) or something.

Did you know! The Cajundome was recently home to a rock and roll concert featuring Def Leppard supported by Styx and Tesla? I wanted to go because there was a sweet groupon for it but I couldn't go because I don't go to rock concerts in arenas whose seating sections look like they are made of Legos.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3075_zpsdh3mi84z.jpg)


Don't worry though, some hero put Def Leppard's entire set (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6Hgdd7pmfo) from that night on YouTube so I know what me and Mrs. Cajundome are doing on our upcoming anniversary!

oh btw the rest of this stade review will have def lep references instead of 9/11


I got there right when they were putting out the basketball court for some reason even though it was July. Rick Allen would not have been much help in this process.


(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3068_zpszi9ygdp5.jpg)


Look how high up this arena goes! What on Earth man, who thought Lafayette, LA. needed a basketball arena this big? And look at that ridic roof. What a terrible place this probably is to see a concert. I bet the acoustics just bounce around and get all mushy and it probably sounds like you're listening to music underwater, like what the guy on the High N Dry album cover would hear if he had dived into a pool full of water instead of an empty one.

Pretty sure ULL hung those banners to represent each of DL's Top 10 singles

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3069_zpsbedqapfu.jpg)


This roof is trying to be the Astrodome roof, but its smaller scale assures that it will always be Two Steps Behind. Also those speakers are complete garbage.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3070_zpsxi32ngxf.jpg)



So, like, there's a lot going on in this picture. It's the area of the arena that would be behind a basket. I think those are...suites or conference room windows or something? From afar it kinda reminds me of like some sort of Star War or Transformer villain. Dunno. Just know it looks weird AF. And look at those dinky scoreboards and ribbon boards and stuff that are just kinda randomly thrown up there in the vast landscape of this bizarre arena. This is the photo that bums me out more than just about any other sad stadium photo I've ever taken. I don't know why. It just does. :frown: No fan should have to put up with looking up at this during a basketball game.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3072_zpsfnbzpptt.jpg)


Oh god here it is from close up. Very odd. Also let your eyes follow along the top row of seats across the way. Kinda just looks like they ran out of Legos.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3074_zps4c8v7sju.jpg)



I'll be goddarned if this isn't the most legroom I've ever seen in a top row of a sports venue. I bet when Joe and the Lads launched into Love Bites there was more than one couple that got down on the ground right here and started necking until they realized the song is actually not a love song at all but is really about breaking up.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3073_zps4danipv1.jpg)



Look! They got a little bit of the court down! Would be supes funny if they just left it like that and the ULL basketball team had to practice on only that much court. Imagine like 12-16 guys trying to run drills on that tiny sliver of hardwood. :D

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3075_zpsdh3mi84z.jpg)



Also they have like two weird tiny windows in their basketball arena behind the other basket?? If I had to give my best guess I'd say one window is to represent the original version of Bringin' On The Heartbreak and then the other is to represent Bringin' On The Heartbreak (Remix) that wasn't really much of a remix at all other than the fact that it kinda added some extremely subtle background synthesizer in like three places max.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3078_zpsyymexwye.jpg)



This vinyl interior siding is better suited for a spoon factory in Sheffield than it is a D-1 basketball arena. Good grief, I know Cajuns are hillbillies but that doesn't mean you can't have pride in yourself.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3082_zpsm5zctt3w.jpg)



OK so I went in their suites. First thing I saw was a dead roach which I decided not to show here because unlike the Cajundome Custodial Staff, I have standards. They were pretty sad. Look at that TV.  :Wha:

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3083_zpsjwrmcd0g.jpg)


LOL @ that phone/fridge combo. I bet even Tesla would be bummed out by these accommodations, let alone some bigwig banker guy in Lafayette who paid tons of money to sit up there.


(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3084_zpsgo7dqyoc.jpg)



It astounds me how little of this scoreboard is actually a scoreboard. Also, sup with that random yellow door?

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3086_zpsdyiawclb.jpg)


So I was in the Cajundome for like 2 full hours wandering around, which was just completely excessive. Finally I went outside and it was almost dark but I managed to snap some pics of their fooboo stade from the outside just for this thread. Have you ever seen a more ISU'y press box than this? I mean what is this I don't even

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3088_zps23li2dp7.jpg)


If I had to put up with these ridiculous obstructed views in my home stadium, it would drive me to drink more than Pete Willis.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3100_zpsugkya9km.jpg)


Also can we take a second to LOL at these lights? WTF is going on here?

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3102_zpsrzyy8x09.jpg)



So that was enough for me in the Cajun Sports Complex. It was a magical mysteria.

Tom

Great work 'Ny 'Ny.  That's a truly bizarre arena.  One thing (aside from the sad pressbox and lights) that sticks out about the football stadium is the lack of portals above the front row.  If you're one of the unlucky Cajuns in the upper deck, not only is your view obstructed by the Clonebox, but you also car to climb the stairs all the way up there.  Hope you don't need to pee or want a Cajun Dog.

I hope you get a chance to get to Monroe this summer.  :crossfingers:

Dunno about that but I HAVE SOME AMAZING NEWS. Def Leppard just announced yesterday that they're coming to town in late August. Since the Smoothie King Center does NOT feature seating sections that look as though they were crafted out of Legos, I can go.

Good call MIR. I think that's a callback to the days of the old Superdome rainbow'y seats, which I always thought were SO WEIRD. When they do that kind of thing I always wonder, like, do they think by making every chair a different color that it will make empty-ish events look more full? I guess I'll find out on August 20th.

The ceremony was for Kellenberg Memorial High School, a fairly prestigious Catholic high school. My cousin graduated 25th out of 540. Aside from what you can see, there isn't a whole lot that I can add. The arena is complete with chair backs everywhere which is very nice. Parking is right on site and adequate for an arena of it's size. Due to the event I was at, there wasn't much room for exploring. I just wanted to share the pics as I knew Skinnybenny would appreciate it.

I haven't been there in 12 years but when I went I wasn't completely impressed with the amenities, I think they have done two renos since then though. I did love the location on campus though, that whole area is sweet.

Like, it seems like there's a lot of walls in this place. The bleacher to wall-space-above-the-bleachers ratio is all wrong iyam. Also they have square panels of what look to be sound absorber thingies on the walls. I just don't get it. Don't you WANT the crowd to roar as loud as possible when the Flying Dutchmen are beating down some hapless CAA foe? Also. Really confused by what appears to be windows in the top (or at minimum, lights?). You know, those geometric shapes that kinda look like Tetris pieces. What gives there? I guess what I'm saying is just that it feels very bright, and not at all doom'y. But I'm guessing that's what they're going for because if you look closely you'll see that they hung a banner for hosting the 2012 presidential debate.

(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160606/c3be95d9377108d225447edda3e69995.jpg)

What's behind that big white garage door tunnel thingy just off to the left of the stage? Do you think that's where they store all the presidential debate banners from yesteryear?

Tom! Yes! I have long been interested in visiting that stade. It's boring, and yet still fascinates me. That first row is so high off the field :eek: and that press box looks like it would've been really awesome if they debuted it in 1990. I always thought it was weird that we played there in the old days that one time. Did you make it into their arena? iirc, they have a weird court. And one time I watched a game where the lights went out.

Ok so the dome is absolutely awful. We established that a couple dozen pages ago when I posted a pic of it and me and cf3 and prolly dlew too just tore it apart. It is awful. But Tom I appreciate the much more in-depth look that you've provided here. Genuinely thrilled that they still have the sign up designating where the CoYoTe CrAzIeS!!! sit.  In fact it was the first thing I looked for. Really excited for them that they have that new huupz arena tho, it looks legit sweet. Yay coyotes and yay leathernecks and yay tom. You are absolutely owning this thread these days.

So the lady watching the door pretty much gave me full run of the Concourse.  I figured there had to be some action shots of Jack and current coach oscar Weber in action.  Sure enough...

That's a very nice stadium.  Though I do have a couple notes:

1.  Those lights must be 2 feet above the top of whatever quaker is unfortunate enough to sit under them.
2.  Track
3.  Crummy video/scoreboard, though it is a #family scoreboard so kudos there.
4.  Those lower level seats that extend past the endzone on their EndzoneFunzone side must be about the worst seats in the college football.
5.  I know they're bad for sightlines, but I find those old stadiums with steel beems supporting the upper deck and obstructing views charming.

They have the track for Penn Relays and Franklin Field is the oldest NCAA football stadium.  There since 1895 and they had the first scoreboard ever.  The Eagles use to play there a long time ago as well.  My sister graduated from Penn and the commencement was at Franklin Field.  Former President Carter gave the commencement speech.  Excellent school and a lot of history.  Not in the nicest part of Philly, but prestigious as any other university in the nation.

Didn't take pictures because I don't use tapatalk, but I went to Northern Iowa's McLeod Center and the UNI Dome today. The McLeod Center is absolutely the best college arena I've ever seen. Modern, compact, uniform (that's for you sb); they have nice loge boxes, they have an arena club that is behind a basket, right over the band section. The arena club has lots of tables and chairs, and large windows that open and close like our luxury boxes at the bill. There's absolutely nothing to complain about with this arena, I can't believe I've never been. I'm definitely going to a game there before the season ends.

The UNI Dome was fine, nothing really weird. They have no premium seating. The dome is an actual dome, like the old baggie at the metrodome, a lot of natural sunlight comes in. I imagine it gets really loud in there when they are good.

That's really bizarre because I was just reading the article in the Mercury on CK7 coming back from Northern Iowa, and I thought to myself, "UNI has a great arena." Then you wrote that. :cheers: Never been but I definitely hope to check it out someday. Seems rowdy.

It's funny, I spent four years at the University of Arkansas and never missed a home basketball game.  Nothing about it ever seemed weird, in fact, I thought it was probably the most awesome venue in the country.  Of course we had fantastic basketball then, and a band director named Robson that was a maniac that kept the place rocking.  Looking at these pictures i have to admit it's pretty mumped up.

It's such an odd shape. I mean it's oriented 90* away from how you'd think it would be when you see an aerial shot of the building. Along the sidelines the bleachers go up to like row 300. (You can't really tell from this picture but it absolutely goes up into the darkness of this photo and the top row is like 2 feet from the ceiling. Super weird. The bleachers behind the basket are also really tall for being bleachers behind the basket, but they're really skinny. Then there's those corner sections that are just shoehorned in there wherever they have room and that are facing in who-knows-what direction. That scoreboard is SOOOOO squashed. Look at the roof-line. Changes angles kinda partway through lolwut. Those curvy white support columns that appear in this picture on both sides of the WTF corner section look so out of place. Also maybe it's just me, but on the sideline bleachers that go up to the heavens in this picture, it kinda looks like they change their angle as they get closer to the court.

It's such an odd shape. I mean it's oriented 90* away from how you'd think it would be when you see an aerial shot of the building. Along the sidelines the bleachers go up to like row 300. (You can't really tell from this picture but it absolutely goes up into the darkness of this photo and the top row is like 2 feet from the ceiling. Super weird. The bleachers behind the basket are also really tall for being bleachers behind the basket, but they're really skinny. Then there's those corner sections that are just shoehorned in there wherever they have room and that are facing in who-knows-what direction. That scoreboard is SOOOOO squashed. Look at the roof-line. Changes angles kinda partway through lolwut. Those curvy white support columns that appear in this picture on both sides of the WTF corner section look so out of place. Also maybe it's just me, but on the sideline bleachers that go up to the heavens in this picture, it kinda looks like they change their angle as they get closer to the court.

From some dumb book that can be found here (https://books.google.com/books?id=4RRMBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA146&lpg=PA146&dq=barnhill+arena+is+weird&source=bl&ots=rmQJbLVmcT&sig=PTP4tOWDBHa8m1ZLBz-zmN-4gko&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj9ivOosozTAhUM5WMKHXCBCxMQ6AEIPzAJ#v=onepage&q=barnhill%20arena%20is%20weird&f=false):

Quote
"It's not much to look at today, but it was nice for its time," Cheyne said years later. "The first night we played there the scoreboard came crashing down and splattered all over the court."

Guess they just tied it to those bigass cables and hoisted that badboy right back up for the next 50 years :dunno:

just a guess, but it looks like maybe it did used to be flipped 90 degrees and the nu-basket sides are an addition (past the columns)

It's from a Tony Hawk video game where you could create your own map and it basically always turned into a hodge-podge of crap you thought was cool which is a pretty decent representation of pig aggies old shitty hoops arena.

Dang. Lots of questions for Whisker Biscuit.

--Where'd you get your name? It's a good one, I like it.
--What is your fave Barnhill memzy of all of the great memzies? Would take a top 3 list.
--Did you ever have to, like, sit behind a beam or anything?
--Why does Barnhill Arena look so weird from the outside, too?
--Is there a better court in college basketball history than this one? Nope. That sweaty, drooly hog is amazing.

Ok, so I absolutely can't find anything online about the history of Barnhill Arena, at least that would shed light on whether or not the orientation of the court was flipped once upon a time. I also can find precious few pictures. Really frustrating when you wanna LOL.

In the process, though, I got internet sidetracked and how did I not know Ole Miss has a new arena? Also what do we think of it?

It doesn't matter guys, it was Commonwealth Stadium before, it isn't like they are giving up some historic name, at least they have something unique now. I could give you many worse stadium names from naming rights. The bigger issue for them is how shitty that stadium is, maybe Kroger can kick some cash in for upgrades.

Basically just tell me literally every single thing you remember about that acid trip of an arena. tia.

Sorry sb...i didn't see this post till today.  I have so many great memories.  I actually had orientation with Oliver Miller, Warren Linn and Michael Hogue.  Oliver Miller was this orca fat nerdy looking dude telling everyone he was coming to play ball at the UofA...i laughed (behind his back) and told my dad what an idiot he must be to think he was going to play for the hogs.  The rest is history.

Fantastic 4 year stretch while i was in school.  My 3 fave barnhill are easy:

3. Shaq coming in
2. Playing mizzou...mayberry missed a game winning 3 at the buzzer
1. UNLV...this is easy...1 vs 2...Camped out for 2 weeks to get the best seats...was like 20th in line.  Sat 5 rows up in the center.  Great game...UNLV, what a team. 

Barnhill looks weird from the outside because it was renovated/remodeled/add onto several times.  Not while i was there, but it was actually a very old arena.  Professors would talk about the dirt floor it used to have everywhere but where the court was!  And no, i don't personally feel there is a better venue in college bball, but of course i'm pretty biased.  It was just so small and the students got like 25% of the seats.  made for a great atmosphere.

Barnhill was just fantastic.  So intimate, only sat like 9,000.  Students with the best seats and first come first serve of course, so lots of great camping out stories.  Coach Richardson was just getting rolling and our teams were just awesome.  Great style of play, great talent.  Miller, Day and Mayberry all played in the NBA, all in the same class, all stayed for 4 years.  What a time.  I dated a Lady Razorback so was friendly with most of the team.   Basically horrible people as you could imagine.  Got pretty much everything handed to them.

Lots of great stories about athletics at the UofA.  My dorm roommate went to school with Lee Mayberry in Tulsa (Washington I think).  Lee was one of like 10 kids, father was the school janitor, Lee rode the bus to school every day.  First week at the UofA we see Lee in a brand new corvette convertible.  My buddy went up and asked Lee where he got the ride...."it's my dad's" was the response.  Perfect.  After the trip to the final four all the basketball players were riding around campus on brand new scooters.  Not the scooter of today, but the small motorcycle scooters.  The athletes got whatever they wanted.  County (or city can't remember) prosecuters daughter got gang raped in the athlete's dorm by like 9 guys.  I don't think even one person got suspended let alone went to jail.  Made a lot of news but eventually just went away.  Today it would have probably killed a program (as it should have then)

Football was also fun.  Barry Switzers son played ball at the UofA so was always a treat to see Barry out at the bars in his full length fur coat.  Guy loved to have fun. 

Anyway, times there were awesome.  But i grew up purple and although i didn't go to KSU, i returned home to Kansas just as Bill was getting it rolling so it was an easy transition back.  The past few bowl games versus the hogs have been fun but I've never wavered in my support of the purple.

Oh, and the name.  There's a movie called "I spit on your grave" from like the early 80's i think.  "Come on Angel, show us your whisker biscuit!!"  Just an early memory from a horrible movie.

Exactly the same colors as KU, minus the blue.

Yellow (Pitt State calls it gold), PMS 116C

Pitt State's historical logos (page 13) are pretty great though

Is Kansas the best collegiate sport state in the country? I say yes with bullet points of support data.

-Pretty good major college football program
- Almost elite college basketball
- Multiple high end to elite D II athletic programs
- Some of the best JuCo athletics in the nation
- Quality NAIA sports

Since we own Texas, nobody pays attention to the West Coast, New York kind of sucks for college sports, and Florida is mostly just a bunch of cheaters and criminals I'm resting my case

the students got the center court seats all the way to the top.  that place never had an empty seat while i was there.  Great games with Mizzou and UNLV stand out.  Also the Shaq led LSU tigers.  :)


Dang. Lots of questions for Whisker Biscuit.

--Where'd you get your name? It's a good one, I like it.
--What is your fave Barnhill memzy of all of the great memzies? Would take a top 3 list.
--Did you ever have to, like, sit behind a beam or anything?
--Why does Barnhill Arena look so weird from the outside, too?
--Is there a better court in college basketball history than this one? Nope. That sweaty, drooly hog is amazing.

(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/v0G3lnFTrUQ/0.jpg)



Basically just tell me literally every single thing you remember about that acid trip of an arena. tia.

Sorry sb...i didn't see this post till today.  I have so many great memories.  I actually had orientation with Oliver Miller, Warren Linn and Michael Hogue.  Oliver Miller was this orca fat nerdy looking dude telling everyone he was coming to play ball at the UofA...i laughed (behind his back) and told my dad what an idiot he must be to think he was going to play for the hogs.  The rest is history.

Fantastic 4 year stretch while i was in school.  My 3 fave barnhill are easy:

3. Shaq coming in
2. Playing mizzou...mayberry missed a game winning 3 at the buzzer
1. UNLV...this is easy...1 vs 2...Camped out for 2 weeks to get the best seats...was like 20th in line.  Sat 5 rows up in the center.  Great game...UNLV, what a team. 

Barnhill looks weird from the outside because it was renovated/remodeled/add onto several times.  Not while i was there, but it was actually a very old arena.  Professors would talk about the dirt floor it used to have everywhere but where the court was! 



Total Ahearn Fieldhouse move. Why did old timey arenas used to do this? For horse shows or something?


Quote
And no, i don't personally feel there is a better venue in college bball, but of course i'm pretty biased.  It was just so small and the students got like 25% of the seats.  made for a great atmosphere.

Barnhill was just fantastic.  So intimate, only sat like 9,000.  Students with the best seats and first come first serve of course, so lots of great camping out stories.  Coach Richardson was just getting rolling and our teams were just awesome.  Great style of play, great talent.  Miller, Day and Mayberry all played in the NBA, all in the same class, all stayed for 4 years.  What a time.  I dated a Lady Razorback so was friendly with most of the team.   Basically horrible people as you could imagine.  Got pretty much everything handed to them.

We having a saying around here Whisker Biscuit, MCMW. More Criminals, More Wins. Will take every single athlete/horrible person story you've got.

Quote
Lots of great stories about athletics at the UofA.  My dorm roommate went to school with Lee Mayberry in Tulsa (Washington I think).  Lee was one of like 10 kids, father was the school janitor, Lee rode the bus to school every day.  First week at the UofA we see Lee in a brand new corvette convertible.  My buddy went up and asked Lee where he got the ride...."it's my dad's" was the response.  Perfect. 

amaze



Quote
After the trip to the final four all the basketball players were riding around campus on brand new scooters.  Not the scooter of today, but the small motorcycle scooters. 

Were the hogs more of Vespa guys or Vino guys?

Quote

The athletes got whatever they wanted.  County (or city can't remember) prosecuters daughter got gang raped in the athlete's dorm by like 9 guys.  I don't think even one person got suspended let alone went to jail.  Made a lot of news but eventually just went away.  Today it would have probably killed a program (as it should have then)

kay these aren't so fun anymore

Quote
Football was also fun.  Barry Switzers son played ball at the UofA so was always a treat to see Barry out at the bars in his full length fur coat.  Guy loved to have fun. 

Anyway, times there were awesome.  But i grew up purple and although i didn't go to KSU, i returned home to Kansas just as Bill was getting it rolling so it was an easy transition back.  The past few bowl games versus the hogs have been fun but I've never wavered in my support of the purple.

Oh, and the name.  There's a movie called "I spit on your grave" from like the early 80's i think.  "Come on Angel, show us your whisker biscuit!!"  Just an early memory from a horrible movie.

I want to go to a bar where fur coat Switzer is boozing with 2006-7 Huggins. 

Also is there somewhere that shows the evolution of Barnhill Arena's additions/renovations? I have searched the internet and can't find crap, which is partly why it's such a fascinating disaster to me. Probz fun as crap to see 40 minutes of hell there tho.

Excellent post all around. The Word?

Toured Pitt State indoor facility, locker room, and weight room last week.  Very impressive.

Got a second kid who's looking at playing? Also when you go on these recruiting trips or whatever do the coaches allow you to freely take pictures of everything or do you have to be all sneaky about it like Garth in Wayne's World 2 when he is up in a tree using a camera to take pictures of Cassandra out with another guy?

Arena makes me kinda sad. It's like, John Lance probably donated all this money to Pitt State for this sweet new hoops stade and then he gets what is essentially a hollowed out Costco where basketball is definitely not the only focus. Kinda reminds me of the MHS North gym where they would take students up on that second level during the day for like archery classes and hunter's safety courses and junk.

The kid who played wants to coach.  He will be a GA at Pitt State this fall.  Every trip we’ve been on where a coach has escorted us has let us takes pictures freely.

@ski-be

where is your texas state analysis


Texas State Bobwilds

This week we find ourselves at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX. And by this week I mean two years ago cuz i totes forgot about it for a while. Before we dive in, let's note that Texas State has four important distinctions:

1. Their basketball arena has a GIANT rough ridin' WALL
2. The husband of a lady I used to work with went here for a couple semesters
3. It is the home of oscar's Ultimate #1 Fan or whatever 42 goes by now
4. On the TV show Friday Night Lights, they used this stade as the backdrop for that time Coach Taylor went to coach at TMU for like 2 episodes. They CGI'd the crap out of it though and made it look like if Conan had done an "If They Mated" between Texas State's actual stadium and and aTm's Kyle Field.



First let's start with an aerial view so we know what we're dealing with here. The stadium underwent a major reno(vation, not cat) maybe 10 years ago. The first thing that jumps out at me is that the end zone in the bottom of this photo has stands whose front rows go lower than the stands along the sidelines. I don't know why. Did they just forget to measure when they started working on it? Something just doesn't add up. Doesn't fit. Kinda makes me think of when Luke Cafferty gave his prize pig to Tinker, or when Mindy decided she wanted her bridal shower to be some fancy tea or something when the natural order of things would've just been to have her getting mumped up with her stripper friends. Why don't you fit together, bleachers?

what is this i don't even

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3161_zpsse9bi7ud.jpg)




This picture was taken from their Vanier. I snuck in there, not unlike how Billy and Tim Riggins snuck into a scrapyard. Unlike the bros though, I wasn't there to steal copper wire. btw 42 once said that this press box is really hotel'y. He's right. This isn't the hotel'y side, though. That comes later.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3142_zpsvdgckxbv.jpg)




DAMN SON ARE WE AT THE LIBERTY BOWL BECAUSE THIS VANIER IS CURVE CITY, USA  :surprised:

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3158_zpsz9phypuw.jpg)




They have this adorbz little patio party area thing off behind the corner of one of the end zones. When you guys come to a game here you should just stick to hanging out on the party porch before and after games, cuz from these seats? Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't See.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3173_zpsqu4flimy.jpg)



On top of this adorbz-a-board is a picture of the TSU bobqat logo. BACKWARDS POWERCAT ALERT!

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3175_zpsdzc6e5lk.jpg)



As you approach into the stadium from their student section side you see a grassy knoll good for OOC frolicking.

Texas State really throws it in Louisiana-Lafayette's stupid face by having supremely normal lights.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3136_zpsqttztif3.jpg)



Note that despite them wanting to be us in every way, there is not ONE Insight.com Bowl sticker on the side of this truck.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3140_zpsdwa5i5kt.jpg)



This is like the most crystal clear photo I've ever taken. I like how they mounted the spidercam ropes to the top row in the corner. I bet if they actually tried to use one during the game it would bop the QB on top of the helmet cuz their stadium's so small lolol. Hey, remember Crucifictorious?

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3149_zps9exkrpu3.jpg)



Generally I really like what TMU has done with the place. Really solid for a Sun Belt team tbh. That little tiny structure atop the upper deck opposite end zone is cute too. What do you think goes on there? Also look at the near goalpost. Its curve is decidedly NOT elegant. Sorry bobqats, that's where you'll wanna start if you ever wanna be KSU State Junior.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3150_zpsvjceonyg.jpg)



Right now the score on the field is tied at 2-2 in the battle of Trash Cans vs. Peppermint Field Logo Things.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3153_zpspfl48m4g.jpg)




guess which guys are the linemen

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3160_zpsnnwg4bvs.jpg)





Walked around their Vanier for a while pretending I was supposed to be there. Opened the wrong door and busted in on some coaches meeting and just said "Oh I'm sorry fellas" in my huskiest voice possible. Then I whipped out my phone and got a picture of this live action game photo of when the then-Southwest Texas State Bobcats played the Pittsburgh Steelers in an exhibition game in front of a 40 foot tall bobcat.

(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/IMG_3178_zpsdf4xupfw.jpg)

Also, "Pride is our tradition"? That sux, you guys. Ever heard of 16 motherfucking goals?


Judging by this picture I think the bobqats get super jacked for the third q.   
Probably a good idea tbh though, because that's usually when Arnett-Meade starts to mount a big comeback. :shy:

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3141_zps4nndxfzb.jpg)

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3182_zpsgjalq3gw.jpg)




This is the outside of their big end zone. Not a single Powercat or mention of the Sun Belt's #1 Pregame Tradition as denoted by scarymommy.blogfart.biz

No idea wtf they are thinking with this additional missed opportunity.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3183_zpszrw5poex.jpg)





The end zone from far away also looks a little Ramada Inn'y :dubious:

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3187_zps7rgaa3zz.jpg)




They steal everything from K-State. Everything. Logo's so powercatty that I bet our TSU buds' girlfriends probably draw it freehand for them on their birthday cards.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3129_zpsbxzmzxlx.jpg)





Oh man, was I psyched, though. Stade's weird but whatevs. Marched a little bit down the road and found myself in good old Straham Coliseum. Or, three fourths of it, anyway. Maybe you've heard but behind one of their baskets there's a
GIANT rough ridin' WALL.
It's awful. I want just drive right through it like Julie Taylor through a mailbox when she pretends to hit an invisible dog because she doesn't want to go back to Burleson after her TA boyfriend's wife slapped her in front of everybody.

In this picture I like to think that the scoreboard over midcourt is like the lead blocker, like maybe a Riggins, and the scoreboard on the giant rough ridin' wall is following behind him and is Smash, hunkered down all spry because low man wins.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3204_zpsb9cxricc.jpg)





O hi. Can you find at least two seats that were installed like absolute dogshit?

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3202_zpsqqhpzfm5.jpg)




Odd spacing issues in their section numbering. Also I like that they painted it black to be as doomy as possible but I think it'd be cool if they put some glow-in-the-dark stars up there like SB Big Bro had in his room when we were kids.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3201_zpslzmdpgio.jpg)



Every non-giant-rough ridin'-wall corner of this arena has the UNT Apogee Stadium fishtail thing going on, which results from TWO SMALLER rough ridin' WALLS.

With apologies to _42, I have to say that the 'feel' of this place is very Kansas Coliseum'y :frown:

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3195_zpslklnkugb.jpg)




I can't even tell you how much I loathe the wall. Look at this. The Loud Crowd looks dope tho.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3193_zpsv5lc37yb.jpg)



I love that they just said eff it and ripped out all the seats there behind the wall. It's got a real "Cal-State Fullerton Football Stadium Visitors' Side" feel to it. (Elite Pud Stadiums thread page 44 reference right there for you guys)

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3192_zpsezvn45aq.jpg)




I bet they too have a huge drunk pervert who tweets at teenagers and runs this magazine. But instead of wearing Hawaiian print shirts, theirs wears Hawaiian print cowboy hats.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3210_zpsxlwgz5vx.jpg)



Overall impression: Texas State's football stadium is solid. Like, really solid for a Sun Belt team. I mean they didn't end up with a tremendously hot POA like a Lyla or a Tyra, but they got themselves a solid 6, like Jess. The basketball arena, though, made me wish I could end up like Seracen's dad.

I've long-advocated for a huge gigantic wall to be put in BSFS (maybe above vanier) to trap sound in.  I'd like it to be obscene and grotesque.  A 40 story, unpainted cement wall.  It'd trap in so much sound.

Anyhow, SB, please do this more frequently.  This is my favorite thread.  Though I've never seen FNL (show OR movie!) so a lot of these went over my head.

Oh man, lol at that bball arena.

I totally could have done this for Texas-Arlington but didn't take any pictures. Here's the abridged version with some googled images.
Football Stadium-
No football so we're in Wichita State territory here. Actually, stadium looks a lot like Wichita State's just a little smaller and with a weird white wall running around it cause it's sunk in the ground.
(http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_pictures/north_america/united_states/texas/arlington_maverick.jpg)
Gross overhead shot. Looks like the picture my grandparents had of their farm in the 80s
(https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7341/9561982981_4babccb092.jpg)
Super small stands and press box, turf look good though
(http://bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com/theshorthorn.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/0/94/094d41aa-d501-11e5-8797-536908998e5a/56c3a9fd3fc43.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C854)
Using this to show the weird plain white wall. I think it may have been concrete painted white. It also creates weird echos. Stand in the right spot and you can hear someone speaking normally on the other side of the field.

Bit of a Denver Broncos feel going on with the horse head and orange and blue

Tree! And a stade exterior to make KU proud

And bed races :dunno:

Absofruitly have no idea. I think it had to be like a real arena beforehand and they just put that in last minute when they realized no one was ever coming to see the Junkyard Bobz, right? I think maybe there are like athletic offices behind it now or something? I can't imagine watching a game there. No matter where you sit, the wall is in your line of sight somehow. I'd be so steamed. Sweet dunk? Oh cool, there's a 50% chance there will be no fans in the background of the photo at the top of the San Marcos Gazette sports page the next morning. Someone drains a last-second game winner? Good luck enjoying it, because no matter how sweet it was, boom, there's the wall.

Ok, time for the bball update. Actually a pretty legit little arena they have. Only holds about 7k, but they're in the Sun Belt so it's probably about right
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9f/UTA_College_Park_Center_NW.png/1200px-UTA_College_Park_Center_NW.png)
Impressive looking exterior, maybe a bit mall-ish but I've seen worse (and Trees!)
(https://www.lawnstarter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/college-park-center-3.jpg)
Lights up nice and pretty too (apparently named the greenest basketball arena in America by lawnstarter.com so EcoKat approved)
(https://www.lawnstarter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/college-park-center-2.jpg)
Looks bigger in this pic but inside it definitely feels like it only sits 7k, still found it pretty aestheticly pleasing though.
(http://sjimg.scout.com/stadiums/2897_Dallas_Wings_Game_Action_at_College_Park_Center.jpg)
Also is the home of the Dallas Wings from the WNBA. So for those in the know that means potential Skylar Diggins sightings :drool:

I LOL'd. Old people rough ridin' LOVE framing faded pictures of their tan-colored farm that were taken from a helicopter or whatever. Super gross, kinda like this stade. I don't know too much about Cessna Stade but you're right. I am alway entertained by stadiums like this whose bleachers basically span from one 25 yard-line to the other and no further than that, but that then shoot up like 70 rows. Creates such a LOL'zy tall bleachers that don't make that much sense. Can you imagine sitting in the nosebleeds, and looking across the field to a visitors section that tops out at like 15 rows and behind that is the Texas Hall stage/basketball arena? Now that's a rough ridin' setting.

:frown: And you just know that the right half doesn't even have jumobtron capabilities, probably can't even show replay of the bed race photo finishes. They probably just use that part of the scoreboard to show old time cartoony graphics like KSU Qatz used to have. Like really rudimentary sequences where a boxy kicker approaches the ball in a stilted manner, then kicks it and the ball flies through the air just barely over the crossbar, then lands right behind the goalpost, and then the scoreboard says IT'S GOOD! in flashing block letters. 


I actually really like their new basketball arena. It's sexy as hell on the inside. Outside too.

Their old arena? "Texas Hall"? Unreal. Easily the most earth-shattering post ITT. When I look at those pictures I am sad, full of glee, irate, embarrassed for them, overjoyed for them....really all of it. I bet it'd be a wild ride to do shrooms and go sit in the balcony for a game because then you'd probably be all, "whoa, all of life's a stage and this is a really weird play." Do you think there were ever actual plays on that stage that weird ruined because the shot clock horn went off on accident in the background?

Yea, you don't even get the joy of seeing Texas Hall/CPC, those are on the oppo side of campus (which reminds me of another, non-sports related update on UTA I need to make). You get a nice lovely view of what I think is the police department and maybe the mechanical/maintenance support type HQ.

No idea if that actually happened or not, but would be hilarious. I need to go to something at Texas Hall now that it's just a stage and see what it looks like in there. Another interesting fact I found during my googling was that RiRi herself performed in that building while it was still also home to the basketball arena.

While we're throwing out fun facts, at least one of the Arlington HS's uses that stadium for home games. Don't know which one, but it's likely that K-State ownership of Texas victim and Mr. #1 draft pick Myles Garrett played multiple games on that field.

Ok, one last interesting bit about UTA. It's actually split into two parts by one of Arlington's busiest north/south streets. To account for this, the street dips down a little through campus and there's a series of walking bridges joing the two parts. It's a little like a knockoff of the Vegas Strip. A bit odd but ends up kind of cool looking.

Ok so by 3 months I meant 2 years again, hwhoops. When you go to San Marcos you should probably go to this weird tourist trap place called Wonder World. You go down in this weird cave thing, then when you come back up they send you through this funhouse thing where you walk all woogily-googily. Then you get on a tiny train that goes through a sad petting zoo and you feed grain to all these depressed llamas, and then you finish it off by going up in this lookout tower where you see this majestic, newish stadium rise up out of the Texas dirt from miles away. It's clearly a high school stadium, so little, but also has one grandstand that is giant. So I guess we're doing a Little Giants theme for this one.

San Marcos High School Indian-Rattlers





Stadium's really UT-Arlington'y, actually. One grandstand that rises really really abnormally high and tinyish visitor stands. No weird white wall around this one, though, and also no track. Must suck to go from playing at Rattler High to UT-Arlington. Major stade downgrade.

Lights are pretty standard, certainly adequate enough to illuminate a high school football game or the set of a movie about a pee-wee football game.

Not sure wtf 'brush' or 'brambles' are, but I bet it's this stuff. Can you imagine being 5 years old and having Rick Moranis (certified snarfleblatt) standing over you with a whistle in his mouth barking orders at you during updowns? :sdeek:

T's and P's, you guys clearly don't have a Russ Briggs in your town. :frown:

btw what do we think these five brick pillars are for? Stadium looked p. new so maybe one day they're planning on putting up statues of all the gaffers/key grips/best boys from LG? dunno.

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3484_zpsh8il9boq.jpg)




Ok now we get to the sweet stuff. Look at this old German pillbox. It's kinda sweet! Dunno if it's translating in this photo, but for a high school stade, it truly is impressive, almost as impressive as Jonathan Lipnickey's acting chops in the movie Little Giants

What kind of San Marcos-e0 treasures do you guys think exist in Snakeskin's Store? :love:

(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3491_zpsegr8wtct.jpg)




Visiting stands. Infinitely better than Washburn Rural's home stands. Infinitely. I couldn't get into the stadium because it was as locked up, but you can tell from this shot that they have sweet field turf. Also what about those yellow goal posts? Kinda surprised me. I thought they would've gone with white like KSU Cats U., but who knows, maybe they chose that one from the two available goal post colors because it's closer to the color of the best pic Oscar won by Little Giants in '94 :dunno:


(http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg548/shaggsCD1/IMG_3495_zpsmk7mg6yg.jpg)





I think it's cute how they sunk like 5 rows down for what I presume is the section for the truly psycho rattler students. I bet they just go absolutely apeshit down there when they're knocking Wimberly's dicks into the dirt. Also those three sections of purple chairs look like they're just DYING to have white chairs spelling out K S U across them.

Found this one on the intarnet too. Great day to be a Rattler!

(https://ktsw899.files.wordpress.com/2016/10/rattlers-weights.jpg?w=692&h=463&crop=1)




Unless you're on the basketball team, in which case it's a great day to be a Knight. For serious, I think their football team is called the Rattlers and their huupz team is called the Knights. It's very bizarre. I can't find anything online for their basketball team that calls them anything except the Knights. wtf. This would be like the Little Giants going by the Little Giants when they're on offense, but when they're on defense they change their name to the Normal Sized Giants

I think we should give the rattlers props. SB walks into basically any stadium in North America but he was locked out of that one.

It was kind of perplexing, honestly. Was truly taken aback at first, but then I realized I think the reason big stades are easier to sneak into is because they have way more entrances. Like, a high school stadium's not gonna have a gated area for ESPN to park their satellite truck thingies, and they're not gonna have multiple loading docks for Sysco (kid) concessions trucks to drop off Bram Dogs and stuff. But yes, still, giving it up for the Rattlers. Clearly they're not taking any chances with fuckface kids from Pflugerville breaking in there to spraypaint eyelashes on their rattler at midfield or whatever.  :thumbs:

So I'm like two years behind on my stade reviews, which means I have a good half-dozen or so stockpiled. It'll take me a while to get to them. In the meantime, I've chosen one image from that stockpile and will post it now. Can you use context clues to guess the mystery stade? First person to guess correctly gets 10 SkinnyBenny Points which is redeemable for one Bramdog if we're ever at a Brucecats game together. No cheating  :nono:

ski-be: really enjoyed the bobwilds review, thanks 4 ur service. Having gone to both schools I canco that Texas State and Kansas State are the exact same school and San Marcos is basically Manhattan with an interstate through it, go quatz, kiss the rings.

The reason the stands are different and go down lower was because of something to do with the water table. The river's literally within walking distance of the stade so the table's super shallow. I think in order to make the stands line up on the north side they had to let the bleachers go down lower than the east/west stands that were originally built back in the 70s.

Honestly it was because the place is too small for graduation ceremonies and our president rammed through the renos so the athletic department just kind of used it as an opportunity to soup up what was once a massive dump. I'm super excited about it -- we haven't been really good at hoops since Wooly was here and if we have facilities that we can sell recruits on vs. the rest of the Sun Belt then that's huge. The interior rendos remind me a bit of the inside of the AT&T Center for the Spurs fwiw. Wouldn't surprise me if they used the same architect because TXST and the Spurs are pretty tight as organizations.

Canadian friend of mine happened to be in a kolache shop in San Marcos today and spotted these fliers advertising the Danny Kaspar basketball camp. You'll notice that they're nothing like the Dana Altman or Tom Asbury basketball camp pamphlets of yesteryear which had beautiful color, purposeful design, and weren't just left on top of a glass case in hopes that someone in a kolache restaurant might care. Considering the poor sales pitch of the Bobcat athletic department, I would guess that this camp will draw, at maximum, dos gatos.

Canadian friend of mine happened to be in a kolache shop in San Marcos today and spotted these fliers advertising the Danny Kaspar basketball camp. You'll notice that they're nothing like the Dana Altman or Tom Asbury basketball camp pamphlets of yesteryear which had beautiful color, purposeful design, and weren't just left on top of a glass case in hopes that someone in a kolache restaurant might care. Considering the poor sales pitch of the Bobcat athletic department, I would guess that this camp will draw, at maximum, dos gatos.

Friend bought one of those at the Flea Market in Topeka for $120 several years back.  It was an exceptional investment.  It is his preferred beer cooler (he also has a fridge for cheap beer and another as a tequila cooler).  He takes his adult beverage storage quite seriously.

Yes it is.  Expected to see it gallop across the field after UCM TD but no such luck.  It was military appreciation night so they had the stealth bomber flyover as well as a strong contingent of ROTC.  One mule touchdown resulted in a distinct salute from the wide receiver to the ROTC group in the endzone.   No flag though.

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.

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 :love: 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

This crapfest reminds of the addition they put on Kemper in KC.  I actually attended a KC Command arena league game there in those new seats.  Needed an F's sherpa to get to the seats, which were literally above the original roof line of the area.  Looking down to see the edge of the roof of the building you are sitting in is just a bit weird.

Wished I had taken pics, but am not even sure that back then you do do that with the cell phone I owned (it was 2006 and I think smartphones were just coming out that year).

The Fightin' Ichabods in Topeka had their Board of Regents approve the building of an indoor facility this past week.  It will be used by multiple sports, including football.  Not bad for Division II.  Listening to a radio interview with their A.D., it should open in about 18 months if their schedule holds.

Well, to be fair, Washburn actually has a site to build and will move forward with construction, KU still does not have a site or design for their kind of planned indoor facility.

BUT, they continue to use their new indoor facility and new stadium in recruiting! (no actual timeline for either for any potential recruit to even be able to use in their time there)

If I'm reading the CJ article correctly, WU will probably get a new indoor facility before KU and PSU and FHSU already do. I never really grasped that KU may be the fifth best football program in the state.

Had some time to kill in Provo and decided to give myself a SkinnyBenny-style self guided tour of BYU’s facilities.  My time was cut short and my phone died so consider this just a teaser.  I’ll go back for a full report when Big12 expansion finally happens.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/46daea14f653d701ed4b4deb2e906cdc.jpg)

LaVell Edwards Stadium
where Victors, Legends, Champions, Heroes, and Amazing are made (Amazing? Doesn’t really fit the theme)

The stadium is essentially four separate pieces.  The west and east stands run the length of the field.  The north and south stands close the end zones.  There is a gap in all four corners.  Here’s a look at the southwest corner to give you and idea. 

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/22edea3116ab5d7313ad4e7e7f2ab73b.jpg)

West side has a full length press box and suites.  No suites on the other 3 sides.  No club level seating anywhere.  Also take note of the setting.  It’s no hill, but the Wasatch range is nice if you like that sort of thing.  Unfortunately clouds obscured the peaks this day.  Upper west siders should have a view of Y mountain. South end zoners should have a great view of Mt Timpanogos to the north.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/012a85d237b078b3124dc25fb2eac51c.jpg)

This place was locked down.  Only exterior pics.  Also check out the mini ramps.  They are in all four corners.  Coug fans would be amazed by the monster ramps in KC.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/43abaaf0950fd13d515a0843dbbe2eb6.jpg)

Here’s the exterior view of the South jumbotron.  NuSkin apparently is a big donor.  Not surprising considering that Utah is the MLM capital of the US, maybe the world.

Good sized parking lot with a little ticket booth just west of the stadium.  Plenty of space for pregame with the ward bros &sisters to slam Diet Pepsi, antidepressants, and opioids.  But no booze.  That’s bad for you.

One other thing to mention but didn’t get a picture of... there are gated stroller check areas inside the stadium.  Very nice feature for those hauling the lil coug fans in to the game.  Sure beats stashing a stroller under the bleachers at the top of Sections 10/11 in BSFS.

That all for LaVell Edwards Stadium.  Up next... Oh my heck!  What is this little Denver airport across the street?

Why that’s Miller Park!  Home of both the batcoug’s and lady batcoug’s.  Their fields sit home to home with the shared airport canopy press box in between. 

I didn’t have time for the Marriot Center but you can see it in the pic above.  Just a square brick building.  Kind of a let down.  Maybe the inside is nice.  Hope to find out next time.

Well that’s all for now.  See you at stake conference next month.  Can I sign you up to bring a jello salad?

Visiting a friend at the University of Arkansas this weekend, from what i have seen of their football stadium, it looks like a flipping parking garage. The general design is underwhelming. The endzone renovation they are doing is about done and looks pretty nice but parking and the stadium area of campus is cluster.

Also will be going to Hawgz vs Vandy basketball tomorrow. WILL have pictures of both stadiums when we get around to walking around campus. In their library currently writing this post and working on code. Needless to say all i brought was purple. #GoCats

Here is Bud Walton Arena, interesting to say the least. This is the first SEC event I have ever been to in my life and the first SEC bball game. They have a lower bowl and the upper bowl. If you check Arena attendance I'm shocked that this arena is filled enough to be ninth in the nation night in and night out. This is the most quiet college bball game I have been to. Will be going by the football stadium today.

MANHATTAN, Kansas

Stadium experience: The Big 12's best. LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium is a great place for college football, because of the fans. It sits in a massive parking lot that K-State fans have turned into a tailgating paradise. The aroma and the revelry is superb, with everyone decked out in purple. The stadium is loud, the fans close and the Wildcats usually tough.

Where to eat: Anywhere in Aggieville, six square blocks of restaurants, bars, retail and businesses, catering not just to the college crowd but to Manhattan citizens. Remnants of K-State's pep band go through Aggieville eateries (and elsewhere in Manhattan) on the Friday night before games, playing KSU fight songs.

What to do: Outside of football, Manhattan is not a tourist destination. But the main campus, about a mile south of the football stadium, is beautiful. KSU's original football home, World War I Memorial Stadium, sits in the heart of campus, with great old architecture. It remains the home of KSU soccer, lacrosse and rugby. Adjacent is Ahearn Field House, KSU's grand old gymnasium which is still used for volleyball but hasn't been the home of basketball since 1987.

Why go? The Flint Hills are scenic. Manhattan is a city of hills and trees and creeks. Downtown Manhattan is straight out of Norman Rockwell. “Back to the Future” could have been filmed in Manhattan. It's the kind of place you sort of soak up. Then game day arrives, and the atmosphere is world-class.

Post by: Katpappy on May 23, 2018, 11:53:58 AM
Maybe this should go in the KU's Hurting thread:  :ROFL:

LAWRENCE, Kansas

Stadium experience: Dismal. Memorial Stadium is nothing to get excited about – why spruce up a football venue when there's a basketball coliseum to take care of? – and the fans long ago quit caring. The setting, at the foot of Mount Oread, is quite scenic, but the Jayhawks aren't competitive and their fans don't show up. It's a road trip to take only because you've got great access to your own team.

Where to eat: Free State Brewery on Massachusetts Street in 1989 became Kansas' first legal brewery in more than a century. Mass Street serves as a combination Main Street and campus commercial district, with history mixed in, its buildings having been burned in 1863 during the Civil War. Mass regularly is included among America's greatest streets.

What to do: Visit Allen Fieldhouse. I know we're talking football. But no American venue trumps KU's fabulous basketball arena, which also serves as a museum, with Dr. James Naismith's original rules of basketball and monuments to the likes of Phog Allen and Wilt Chamberlain.

Why go? Uh, not for football. Lawrence is a great college town. One of America's best. The campus is gorgeous, the town is charming. Here's an idea. Go for a basketball game, if you can find a ticket.

When that is done ECU is gonna have a pretty sexy stadium for an AAC school.

I just hope Montgomery can get it back on track.   When they're good, it's a fun program to follow.   Watching Ruff and Lincoln Riley clown car the State ACC schools was  :lol: and fun.   Of course Montgomery beat NC State two years ago.

I was at Troy the other day, but couldn't get any good shots because they had a baseball tourney and all kinds of construction and it was an inferno outside.

Bro it is really really great. Greenville is a big-ish college town (~90,000) that is quite lovely. Their stade is hot sex irl, especially now that they're getting rid of their Jack Trice Stadium press box. The ONLY thing about it that stinx is that there are no permanent bleachers behind one of the end zones. As we all know, that holds it back from being truly big timey. But I was on the field there a couple days ago and I can definitely tell you that the angle of that stade is significantly steeper than KSU Cats U's stade, and boy does it make a difference in intimidation. I kinda hate that aspect of BSFS. Could've been much scarier.

I hope if (when?) they ever do a BSFS south EZ expansion, they make the south end seats much more steep (I think Currie talked about doing this to improve sight lines, sight lines!).

Would give more room for a bigger facility between the seating and the fOOD, cut some seats to build up, and help with the scariness.

I actually am jelly of their baseball stade, which has a 360 degree concourse, the sign of a big time facility.

How about their junior college football stade? No, it does not. It actually looks like it has a large McDonald's with a TV on top taking up one whole end of the stadium.

FYI Mississippi State, the fact that your stadium has one of its four sides completely without permanent bleachers means you are not bigtime.

Pitt State schedule quirk the H/A games did not flip this year. Is FHSU already in this thread?  Mo Western is my next chance I think.

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:

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.)

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:

You'd think it was an elite callback from the Lukester, but then you remember that he probably just saw the movie for the first time last week.

@Big Sam, was it really flipped 90 degrees? I don't doubt you, but I couldn't find anything in cursory searches. This scene from Hoosiers includes a couple of far back shots that show the same orientation ~3 decades ago as now.

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Cdc13CU9Fc[/youtube]

Anyone know if the bleachers in this place actually had that wacky color scheme back in the day? Or was that, like, just kinda fudged for the movie? It's not a very Butler-y color scheme at all, but I do think it's adorable in an old timey way, like how Ahearn Fieldhouse has bleachers that are clay-colored, for some reason. 

I don't know a ton about Hinkle Fieldhouse except that I love it. It is a gargantuan relic and a complete architectural oddity. A cool day off in SkinnyBenny world would be to just go there, break in, and spend like three hours taking photos from every odd spot in the arena. Also I'd go to the Butler University Archives and look at tons of old photos and articles about that place and I'd get to the bottom of this court rotation issue.  :nerd:

I'm 99% sure that Butler's floor has always sat perpendicular with the layout of the building, just like the floor in the Sports Arena at HCC in Hutch where they've played the NJCAA tourney since the dawn of time.

B) Their weird goalposts
C) The big yellow cowboy boot sculpture

Levi's was specifically designed to have as many high dollar seats in the lower seating bowl and suites and clubs in near proximity as possible.

It's not the design, it's the fact that it's in a shitty location and in a region that gives no real Eff's about college sports.

it's like the people building levi stadium thought "hmm, what other stadium should we look at for inspiration??" and one guy was like "how about Brown Stadium!?" and someone else said "No! what about Cornell's Schoellkopf Field?!" and then Mr. Levi said "guys, guys, you're both right!" and then they took that idea and pumped it full of money.

Please point to me a specific instance under FKSUADJC that a "half ass" job was done on a facilities project? 

I never said it was a "great" design.

The outside is wonky, and being what?  2 counties away is silly.   But I don't see anything wrong with the seating layout.   If you need mega high end customers to pay the bills in an outdoor stadium, they'll probably be more designs like Levi's Stadium.

no

I went to a soccer game once and took Bart to the last stop in the East Bay and then a shitty shuttle bus the rest of the way going there and Amtrak coming back. Amtrak is actually pretty nice and there is a stop right at the stadium but it takes you to Oakland, not SF.

Not sure how close Caltrain gets but I'm pretty sure you need to transfer to another train or bus. Haven't parked but I think it's usually like $80

they also put the luxury boxes on the west side and the east side has most of the sun facing seats where it really gets hot.  And there is something weird about the heat in that corner of the Bay, I've been to quite a few unbearable Stanford games where the actual temp is only like 75 degrees. I don't get it.

What do you guys think of Northwestern's basketball reno? They gutted their old arena completely, apparently, and rebuilt the inside to be pretty different. Clearly much updated which looks p. sexy. Also they kept their old perpendicular alignment of the court to the beams, so this is still very much another arena like Hinkle Fieldhouse/Alabama's Arena/Tulsa's Arena that runs perpendicular to the direction its roof shape would imply.

For reference, here's what it looked like until a few years ago:

I personally love the Welsh-Ryan reno, looks like a neat little 7k stade. Put a rowdy student section and that could be a great college arena environment.

I'd love for K-State to make Bramlage or a new arena a more intimate 9-10k place.

I'd love for K-State to make Bramlage or a new arena a more intimate 9-10k place.

The absolute worst part about Bramlage is that the first row of stands behind the baskets are a mile from the basket. It's almost like they tried to leave a footprint for something that is ALLLLLMOST big enough for a hockey rink but nnnnot quiiiiiiite. So now there's just these weird dead areas/gulfs behind that baskets and bleachers. Ample space for cheer squads to stretch out and whatnot. If we reduced the capacity of Bramlage and redid some seats, I'd want it to start behind both baskets.

All-in-all a pretty nice facility for a school that size/conference level.    Upper levels aren't as steep as they look in the pictures, at least I didn't think so.

Yes, BHAM has it's own 18,000 seat arena which is going to get a $100 million dollar reno in the next year or so. Next to the new but extremely small timey stadium they're going to build.   Which will be nice for UAB football, but will never get BHAM the SEC Championship game back, or ever get Tide or War Eagle to move a game there, even if they convince some nobody to move their "home" game to BHAM to play AU/UA. Admittedly it'll be a better location for the BHAM bowl than Legion Stadium.   

On the flipside the arena reno may get the SEC B-ball championship back every few years and get BHAM an NCAA regional again. 

Feel badly for any EMAW Elite architects working on that small timey stadium.

Skin-ben, we've been talking arenas over on the basketball blog! come join.

But also, I think 10k is about right (firm believer around 9-10k is right for KSU Cats U arena too). I doubt UT breaks 5 figures more than a few times a year.

Quote
In hopes of providing a more intimate fan experience, the new arena will be designed to seat 10,000 during basketball games and can expand to 15,000 seats for events such as concerts and shows. Students will now have seating around the floor instead of only behind the baskets.

The Worst College Football Stadiums

20. University of Kansas: David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium


Lawrence, Kansas

Kansas Memorial is one of the oldest stadiums in college football — it was built in 1920 and dedicated to students who were killed in World War I. It has history and gorgeous architecture, but the place needs some attention, fans say.
Writes one, in a Google review: "Very old stadium that badly needs an upgrade. The bathrooms were not even air conditioned. Uncomfortable bench seating."
Others say the game day atmosphere is lacking. It doesn't help that the Jayhawks have gone from a powerful annual bowl team to a powderpuff squad in the tough Big 12.

For KU renovation talk enthusiasts... the dark square windows in this pix define the original bowl at LSU.  They then have this concrete super structure outside that supporting 3 luxury/suite levels and the upper deck.

My word, look at what Louisville did. They previously had no bleachers at all in their end zone, so they rectified it by adding this...bird...tail? Honestly I think they were jelly of North Texas and wanted something even pointier.

it's like they wanted to make the stade appear taller without adding a ton of seats.  They should have added a section that's 4 seats wide, and goes up like 1,000 rows.  Only add's 4k seats, but would look really impressive.

The seats on the opposite sideline appear to be built at roughly a 70 degree angle, and the upper deck seating is completely vertical.

The competing ballot initiative was actually called "Soccer City" and was designed by a group that wants to bring a pro soccer team to San Diego. Most people felt it was a better idea to use the ground for the SDSU campus to expand since they were basically land locked at this point. They will will share with a soccer team if one comes in.

I do think we should blow out the south end zone and make a lower level similar to that one, though. Big bars, lounge areas, field suites, etc. Put the visiting team in the upper deck and fix a lot of the crap sightlines in the south with a steeper grade (similar to the north).

Lots of obstructed view seats.  Red seats are original from 1912.  Green under the roof were put in during the 30s.  They are still original.  Last pic the one red seat marks Ted Williams 502 ft home run.

What kind of inbred genetic anomaly equates a 1950's shithole that smells like piss with a great venue like Fenway Park?  Oh, right, KU fans.  I bet Fenway Park wasn't built under the false pretenses of being an armory.  Cheating and lying goes back a long ways in Lawrentucky.

I have sat everywhere there is to sit in that place, I love it so much. The experience is the best in baseball although the ballpark isn't. The new areas like the seats around the dugouts, the lf and rf roof decks, and the monster are spacious, comfortable, and as good as you'll find anywhere. Those blue seats, infield, between the poles, are absolute torture, kids can't sit in them comfortably. The bleachers are comfortable but they face odd directions, some to home plate but you have to turn to see center and left field, some face cf and you have to sit sideways to see home plate.

But man, the sights, smells, neighborhood, amenities, it's all the absolute best. I miss it so much.

The year we went to the Texas Bowl in Houston to beat A&M I went on a trip with the (now wife) and saw that game and then drove through to Orlando to watch her school LSU beat Louisville in the BWW bowl.  We stopped off in Baton Rouge on the way to meet the fam and I got to see the LSU campus and stade.  Those pics were pretty much the same ones I took.  Just one facade of Tiger Stadium is our entire stadium, just about.  Pretty amaze place, lots of purple, felt like home.

NAIA division and members of the KCAC.  Vaguely aware of them until one of my former players landed there.  Nice campus hidden off K7.

I've been to all three and hate them all. Michigan is cool in the fact that it's a massive stadium that dug into the earth. I haven't been there since they've put in their luxury boxes which are above ground. Rutgers is exactly what you'd expect and UCONN is exactly what that program deserves. If you're going all the way up there you may as well check out the weirdness of Boston College. One stadium in that area that I haven't seen, that I've heard is very cool is Michie Stadium at Army. Apparently they have an amazing setting. Penn State is also in that area and it actually reminds me of a massive BSFS before we did the WSC.

Damn. Good looking out. I’ve been wanting to do Michigan for awhile now for some reason. I’m also doing NYU and Boston U, but those aren’t really sports colleges. I’ve done Pitt already, Penn, and no Penn State since they don’t have a dental school. I’ll see if I can check those others out.

Has anyone here ever been to a game at Lane Stadium? I am so fascinated by it. I love it. It's weird. It looks super intimidating. It's got dem "jagged Indiana/Wake Forest front rows". (Elite stadium ref.) It seems like it'd be straight up and down. It's got a double deck in the end zone but not elsewhere? I like the VT color scheme. I bet Fall is amazing there. Guys I just wanna go to a big early season night game at Lane Stadium and hear Enter Sandman and sit in like the 87th row and hear a bunch of people gobbling like turkeys and look at foliage off in the distance at halftime. Is that so hard?

The rough ridin' KSU AD wants to know why ppl aren't going to games.  If you would have spent some of the 300 mil on improvements for the majority of fans setting on metal benches with are asses squeezed together on 18" spacing.  Put some rough ridin' seats in like they did at arrowhead a few years back.  It would be nice that you would be concerned about the average fans and also solve the problem of to many seats.  I'm tried of seating next to fat fucks that take up two seats and there is nothing you can do about it.

Yes.

When they did the renovation, they did some sweet things with seats tied to the skyboxes. 

The reality is, put in seats at the Bill, you lose seating capacity.  Depends how attendance and sales go in the future if they were to ever consider this (if it will help boost waning sales, and they can charge a premium price, it might happen - but man, for young people with kids, it will make games even tougher to attend on the financial side.

I haven't ran into this issue a whole lot in the various sections I've held season tickets in over the years, but when it does happen, yes, it's super aggravating. However, if they put seats in the stadium, then our capacity goes down.

No, students are in the section right below me, and behind the basket on the away bench side behind the band a la KU.

They’ve set it up nicely so that the ~8-10 rows of students along the sideline are at enough of a lower lever that people don’t have to stand behind them.

I’ve been a handful of times, and sat all over.  I’ll see if I can find any pictures.  It’s unique, and a great CBB atmosphere. Feels a bit strange with the really tall sides and without a ton of seating behind the basket. 

In 2015, I was courtside on the baseline to see Indiana beat D’Angelo Russell’s Ohio State, and about 40 feet to my left we’re Indiana celebrities John Mellencamp and Jared Fogle.

Not for game, but a couple of graduations in the family.  It doesn't take much to imagine the pressure of a crowd towering over you as those seats go straight up. Mizzou's old Hearns Center back in the day was a somewhat similar, but far lesser experience.

And of course, the mid-campus location.

Conversely, I HATE Illinois’ Assembly Hall. It suxors.

Point of order here.  The Illinois basketball arena is no longer called Assembly Hall.  Illinois sold out and their basketball arena is now called "State Farm Center".
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_of_Assembly_Hall_(Champaign)

But it is a very divisive building, people usually either love it as a design and engineering work of genius (designed by UIUC alum and "starchitect" Max Abramovich) as it holds several honors for being the first in the world in several categories.  They also hate it because it offends their aesthetic sense of what a building of that type should look like.

I'm kind of with you on SFC, to me it's not the prettiest building.  But on the other hand, I respect the hell out of it because the engineering of it is pretty amazing.

Yeah - That is true.  Although there is * a lot* of student residential up there; somewhat like how the university has grown northward to fill in and around Bramlage, but more so.  I'm just of the vintage from when it was built and recall the jarring experience getting there compared to Ahearn.  OK Boomer....

Dlew why would is Illinois’ arena right up my alley? I hate arenas whose stands are “roundhouse’y”. Also that roof is just so high above the top row of bleachers. And too much orange.

I went to the football stade in 6th grade. I remember thinking it was v. cool except that it’s old so the highest up few seats in the lower deck have obstructed views from the beams holding up the upper deck. Then we went to Zorba’s afterward and got a gyro.

Hey also what’s with The Gulf betwixt the back of the end zone and the first row of their End Zone Fun Zone? Reminds me of what West Virginia’s got going on. What could you possibly be using that extra space for?

Buddy went to Illinois for Grad School.

Rode up with him on his visit.

Went in and walked around the "State Farm Center"

Had free reign of the place, walked down on the court, ran into a couple of employees.  We were certain we would be kicked out but everybody was chill.

Emboldened we walked into the football stade.

Immediately asked to leave.

The OOD and the piss barn aren't all seaters for two reasons.
1. The seating bowls haven't been renovated since new ADA rules.
2. Going all seats will reduce capacity, pre pandemic it would be foolish for either building to reduce capacity. K-State reduced capacity a decade ago, but added revenue because the reduction in capacity was to add premium seating.

K-State will be making extensive renovations to the ood seating bowl within the next 5 years, we'll see if they take the benches out then. I don't know if ADA compliance will force them to. Koch Arena became an all seater when they renovated.

There's a lot of love and hate for Williams Arena. Its probably 70% chairback now. I went to a game there in early 2019 and I really enjoyed it. It just sounded old, which is neat compared to the "newer" 70s/80s arenas we're used to in college basketball. Some people just hate it tho.

Is that why Bramlage has the widest aisles west of the Mississippi? Making up for the years of not being up to code.

"I know it's an issue now, but I promise we'll build a facility some day that has aisles TWICE as wide as needed to make up for it."

The aisles are wide because all of the entries are at the top, there is no way to enter or exit a section from the middle of it.

Look! I just discovered that Utah's Rice-Eccles Stadium (which I love) used to look COMPLETELY different! Lookit! I guess they smashed a lot of the stadium down and basically rebuilt it in like 1997 or something.

Look at it then! It was so cute! They had like a TLBL upper deck there, AND they threw some metal bleachers (I think) to make an even TLBL'ier upper deck above the permanent end zone bleachers, kinda like what Arkansas does (elite stade ref)! And--AAAAND--they  had that cool weird ramp behind the end zone that Colorado has. Super jealous!
(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/eb/29/e7/eb29e79a66b79a82e944b7082174821c.jpg)

They tore everything except the south end zone bleachers down in 1997 two days after the season ended, and quickly Stanford'd that badboy and had a whole new stadium built before the first game of the 1998 season.

Here's a picture of the newer version. Truly an elite venue. Obviously no The Setting, though.

(https://utahutes.com/images/2016/6/13//AirMedOverStadium20130829_MMH1492_UTAH_3_.jpg)

One thing I really liked about the newer version of their stadium was the standalone section behind their end zone. I assume this is the only part of the stade leftover from the old iteration. Anyway, I like it because it's always seemed very Northern Illinois Husky Stadium'y to me. Its front row is elevated like 12 feet off the ground and it's got this sorta rounded off concrete at the edges that makes it look really keen, imo.

Anyway, that part is now gone. They renovated it and now it looks like some of the more dumb, modernized, stadium-ruining end zones at Texas and UGA. Here's what it looks like now:

Is it just me or is the "UTAH" on the roof shifted to the left? It looks off center and drives me crazy. It's definitely different than the one in the end zone that looks properly centered

Post by: MakeItRain on November 16, 2020, 04:40:33 AM
It's centered, that's just a weird angle. There are two, I don't know if turrets are the proper architecture term, but that's what I'm going to use, that are on the ends of that building and the word Utah nearly spans the entire roof between the two. BTW that building is getting a remodel and a new roof so if Utah ever plays this year, you'll see new UTAH lettering. That building used to be their basketball arena like a hundred years ago.

SLC and the Utah campus are very cool, unfortunately those places are in the state of Utah.

Utah did a great job with that endzone renovation.   The old looked like a stinking white hot dumpster fire.   Thinking it looked good likely makes the person truly believe that the old North Endzone at K-State was great.

Texas' new endzone will be impressive as well, the old was a  :lol: of "we're rich but we look like a poor" cobblestone of half assery.

It's not just you. MIR, I think michiqat is referring to whether the Utah on the roof is off center as it relates to the football field below it. The word Utah is definitely centered on the roof between the turrets of the basketball arena, but it is also definitely SLIGHTLY off center from the football field below it. It's slight, but it's there and it's not just a parallax thing.

Doesn’t need to be a full bowl but if you’re going to have different sections of the stadium, may as well try to connect them in an aesthetically pleasing way.

Yeah, the Utah on the building is off center from the field, you can tell by looking at the turrets that the building isn't centered with the field. That building is actually on a curved road so for it to appear straight the stadium would have to not face N-S but slightly NNW-SSE

Nothing gets me horned up like some good Utah talk.

Those letters on the mountainside are everywhere.  The U here and the Y for BYU obviously, but high schools and towns all over the state have them.

The obelisk thing out front is the cauldron from the 2002 Olympics.  Might get to use it again in 2034.

Can’t really tell from the pics, but there is a road between that building and the stadium.  And no, they don’t quite line up.

One good thing about the game, even though it could've used more stade shots, is that we get to see a wild 90's crowd packed in there, throwing snowballs and tearing down the goalposts to celebrate the W.

What do we think of OU’s stade design as a whole?

It’s kinda all over the place for me, and I’m all over the place with it. Their newest end zone reno from five years ago or w/e looks like a minor league baseball stade. The side across from the press box looks like they ripped of BSFS’s East side. The press box side I think I like, especially in conjunction with the other non-minor league end zone? I dunno. I can’t decide. I can say with certainty though, that it is THE premiere stade in the CFB world for students to suicide bomb themselves outside of during qatz games where we send a punt snap through an empty end zone.

Off topic but last month I had a conversation about Jeff Mortimer's mother about this game. He was the long snapper. There were a lot of weird things about this game that gets lost in time because of the safety and the bombing.

Thomas Clayton missed that game because it was the first game after he pushed that parking services kid and tried to drive off with the boot on his car.

OU had a losing record, they were 1-2 going into that game.

Adrian Peterson got hurt in the second quarter yet we still got housed by Rhett Bomar and whomever Peterson's backup was.

I got stuck behind at train crossing in rural Oklahoma County for 45 minutes avoiding the traffic jam caused by the FBI, so I had to piss on the road. Then my wife and I got food poisoning at a steak and shake in Edmond.

Some decent background shots of old Rice-Eccles in this video from 1994. Could've used more gratuitous coming-back-from-commercial mountain shots which also include the two cool and very different end zones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilKpIOhFoCg

One good thing about the game, even though it could've used more stade shots, is that we get to see a wild 90's crowd packed in there, throwing snowballs and tearing down the goalposts to celebrate the W.

Man, is there anything better than 1000's of happy students rushing onto the field just going nuts with how happy they are? Watching students rush the field is my favorite thing about college FB and I hope it never ends.

Just the uniforms and helmets in that picture make me happy. It’s funny that how football looked when you were 10 is how you’ll think football looks “right” for the rest of your life.

What do we think of OU’s stade design as a whole?

It’s kinda all over the place for me, and I’m all over the place with it. Their newest end zone reno from five years ago or w/e looks like a minor league baseball stade. The side across from the press box looks like they ripped of BSFS’s East side. The press box side I think I like, especially in conjunction with the other non-minor league end zone? I dunno. I can’t decide. I can say with certainty though, that it is THE premiere stade in the CFB world for students to suicide bomb themselves outside of during qatz games where we send a punt snap through an empty end zone.

Off topic but last month I had a conversation about Jeff Mortimer's mother about this game. He was the long snapper. There were a lot of weird things about this game that gets lost in time because of the safety and the bombing.

Thomas Clayton missed that game because it was the first game after he pushed that parking services kid and tried to drive off with the boot on his car.

OU had a losing record, they were 1-2 going into that game.

Adrian Peterson got hurt in the second quarter yet we still got housed by Rhett Bomar and whomever Peterson's backup was.

I got stuck behind at train crossing in rural Oklahoma County for 45 minutes avoiding the traffic jam caused by the FBI, so I had to piss on the road. Then my wife and I got food poisoning at a steak and shake in Edmond.

what a great read. thank you for this

I wasn’t that impressed with it.  My buddy has a daughter at OU and they were trying to get him to buy season tickets so they took us on a mini tour.  Lots of bar areas was nice but you couldn’t see the field from most of the places selling alcohol.  The seats and other tables throughout seemed low quality and the different sections of the stadium were disjointed with no flow between the separate areas.

I plan on stopping and getting some shots of that place next time I through Mobile.   

I tried to get some shots of Troy two summers ago, but they were doing construction on all the entrances and I couldn't get any decent angles . . . and it was hot AF.

Post by: SkinnyBenny on December 18, 2020, 01:28:30 AM
Can't remember if we've discussed it ITT but you see how there are warning tracks behind the end zones and there's a giant gap bisecting the main bleachers that run along the sidelines? It was designed that way 50 years ago and constructed along a track that allowed them to split the sideline bleachers in half, roll them along the track on the ground, and connect them to the end zone bleachers to completely reconfigure it into a baseball stadium. COMPLETELY REVOLUTIONARY AND COMPLETELY WEIRD. Obviously must not have worked too well because A) almost no one knows about it, probably because they never do it or really did it much, and B) it never caught on and instead everyone went with the horrible multi-sport donut stadium design instead.


Also....in reference to the above picture....wtf? Why does only one section of the overhang have anything actually attached to it? Why is it so off center? This stadium is fascinating and weird and stupid and phenomenal. I'm going to be really sad to see it go. Stayed up waaay too late to catch some 2am WAC hot potatoes in this badboy.

All of the 70s era cookie cutter stadiums the lower bowls shifted for football/baseball.   This Aloha is only one i can think of where the entire thing moved.

Tom, that website is a DREAM. I can’t wait to put on a robe, sit by the roaring fire, light my pipe, have some eggnog, and read that badboy cover to cover. I knew the doughnut stadiums of the 70s had some sections here and there that shifted or folded up like high school bleachers in the lower bowl, but it’s crazy that both decks move at Aloha stade. Like, if every seat were filled for a football game and every seat were filled for a baseball game, you could show someone one overhead picture of each and that person would probably have zero clue that it’s the same stadium. It’s a shame it rusted before they even finished building it. T’s and P’s to our Rainbow Warrior bros at our sister school way out west.

What’s the worst donut stadium OAT? Oakland’s was awful, but I always felt reaaaally bad for people who sat in the lower part of the football version of Candlestick Park.

It's definitely not Oakland, not sure they're even on the list. There were some elite views of "The surrounding" before stupid Mount Davis went in.

I might be missing some, but it would probably be these 6. RFK, Busch, 3 Rivers, Fulton County, Riverfront, and Veterans.

I just read the wikipedia page of Aloha Stadium so you don't have to....here are some cliff notes.

- They built it with weathered steel so they wouldnt have to paint it but I guess the weathered steel sucks complete ass around salt water and it started rusting almost immediately

-They stopped moving the bleachers after like 20 years because of the rusting

- They have known the stadium was a complete POS for the past 20 years but the only upgrades were a new video board in 2010...like geez guys, your whole stadium is falling apart but let make sure to get that new video board!

Oakland at one time had the most foul territory of any MLB stadium.   There was a stat your BA was maybe 10 pts worse due to extra foul outs.

I rated Oakland as my least fave because Mt. Baker is the worst, and also because that’s the donut that hung around the longest, meaning I had to look at Chiefs make breakaway runs over dirt baseball infields until 2019. That is unconscienable.

My uncle (RIP) used to teach and coach in NYC.  He went to the Polo Grounds a ton.  It was an interesting place that was like no other ballpark.  He used to talk about it with me.  Thanks for the memory.  Apparently, the batting cages were hauled up into the air above first based by a hoist system so they were out of the way during game time.

Our original stadium was something. The track went under the endzone seating.

Back when Jack Trice was built, I'd have rather just demolished the old stadium and that dorm immediately behind the stadium, centered the field with the state gym (older building offset of the open endzone) somewhat similar to Okla State. The other option would have been going north of it. I'm generally fine with the location of Jack Trice tho, the tailgating is great and access is easy. I just wish it was closer to campus.

Also lol at Iowa State's old pressbox. It looks like somebody saw a pop up book about stadium pressboxes and they decided to build the IRL version of it.

You are correct, this was built to be another multipurpose stadium, I hope they find a way to give it some character for CFB. It will be home to the San Diego Loyal as well as the Aztecs. The Loyal play in the USL Championship which is the second level of American soccer, they will end up in the MLS within the next 5 years.

I was at that site last February it is sad, good access but they won't have the benefit of walking from the bars to and from a game, they'll have to jump on the train.

However...it's still like 8 miles from their main campus, and I'm sure it'll just become mostly some MLS stadium or something eventually. I dunno. THOUGHTZ BROS?

i think its the same sitch for Temple/Eagles

I think all colleges should play in on campus stadiums, its part of what makes CFB so much fun. When we played at UCLA I went to the game and it just felt weird tailgating on a golf course...Like the rose bowl is a cool venue and all but not for a regular CFB game when there are only 50k fans.

Are Pitt and UCLA the only P5 programs that play in off campus stadiums? (My definition of off campus is that students can't walk to the stadium).

When the conversations first started, weren't they trying to build up a new campus type around around the new stadium as well?

Yes, they are expanding the campus to the are. It's a short ride on the trolley to the main campus, like 5 min.

The new home of UAB football is rapidly taking shape.   

https://www.protectivestadium.com/

Certainly a nice venue for UAB and may well position Legion FC to be moved up to an MLS Franchise.   However, a pretty big step back in terms of where Legion Field used to place Birmingham in terms of hosting big college football games.   

At least the renovation of the basketball arena has already put BHAM on the NCAA Regional calendar again.

Oregon State announced a $153M renovation after $50M anonymous gift. It will completely redo one side that now looks like a generic grandstand with a small press box on top. Will take stadium capacity from 43k to mid-to-high 30s.

I have always loved Oregon State. They're super K-Statey and Corvallis is green Manhattan. Nothing but good things to say about that place, and I can be trusted as an authority on this because I stayed there for ~48 hours in 2006. I'm happy for them on this nice new stade addition but I have to say I always had a soft spot for how weird and piecemeal the whole stadium was. A bizarre architectural amalgam of the past and the future. Now it'll be really nice all the way around, but it won't be weird. :cry:

Still blows my mind KU got a $50million donation earmarked for the football stade and they can't piece anything together. Hell, I think that South Alabama stade was just a bit more than that.

Also... ski ben, did you see the one light pole in the one corner of that endzone???? (looks like they have two on the other end.

After seeing the announcement about Oregon State, who will have a nicer stadium than Oregon when that's done.   I decided to search out some of the latest on the renovations of Memorial Stadium at KU.   Not much cooking there, which is partially understandable because of Covid and how dreadful that football program is right now.

It also appears that there's a growing movement among KU fans to 'Duke WBB' the rest of the men's basketball season.


KSO talked about how the new indoor facility, or I should say the newest indoor facility and new V-Ball arena/Olympic Training center may get done by 2023.   But the Associate AD for facilities at K-State just left to be a VP at Mammoth Sports.

It's 2021 and they've been talking about a full scale renovation of Memorial Stadium for over 2 decades now. 

Meanwhile at K-State there's not only nothing left of the original stadium besides the concrete in the lower seating bowl, there's nothing left from all the Snyder 1.0 facilities improvements besides the indoor practice facility.

General thoughts on Mercedes Benz Stadium - Atlanta GA. 

1. As impressive looking of a building as you’ll find anywhere.

2.  Solidifies ATL for Super Bowls, CFPO, Final Fours for decades to come. 

3.  Had comp tickets on 200 level.  200 level is nice but a little tight.  Access to Booze Drinks B+, Food B+, restrooms C.  Bump 100 level to A across the board. 

4.  Rode MARTA to station right next to stadium, Grade A for access.

5.  Video board A, missed A+ because of angle of head tilt required. 

6.  Sound system - incredible A+

Surrounding restaurants - bars. TBD could not fit into schedule.

They had like weird stages at the top of the lower bowl of where their dance and drum teams performed. Really low energy overall but it was fun to see Claws and Landry Shamet start an NBA game.

Nope. While the board is awesome, it's not the right fit for the arena. Should've done one of those longer mini version of Cowboy Stadium ones.

Here's a good visual. It's not friend to the close seats

I just want them to go back to the first board they had in Bramlage. You know the one. It had light bulbs and rudimentary graphics imploring the crowd to put their hands up in the air and wiggle them a little bit one hand at a time. Or it asked for NOISE and showed a rudimentary graphic of the roof (of Ahearn) shaking from all of that noise. When we make a free throw, I want a rudimentary graphic that says WHOOSH. I want the old pre-Powercat Willie head to slowly open and close its mouth and actually eat the words "Eat 'em up, eat 'em up, KSU!"

I use it to upload one photo at a time but can’t sit down and do in-depth captions; the format problems are atrocious. Also each in-depth stade review is like an hour-plus time committment and now I have two small kids. Also, I’ve got a backlog of like 6 years worth of stades so at this point, I’m a stade hoarder and it’s starting to weigh on my psyche. But for now….name this stade or arena!!!

But really, how many are there? T-Boone/Iba kinda?

Folsom Field at CU also connects to an old fieldhouse, which as of 2010 housed various food vendors during football games. Different than most field to fieldhouse connectos though, the one in Boulder runs alongside the main grandstands and not at the end zone area.

To be sure, though, Assembly does not connect.  But yeah, its seating is redic vertical inside with very little behind the goals.

Yeah, its crazy.  There's still another 5 rows or so in the upper deck beyond what's blocked out by the central roof structure.  Last time I was there, 3 years ago, those wall panels and surface treatments were even dingier than in that photo.  Just really looked "tired" overall.

I've always enjoyed games at Freedom Hall except the one time I had seats in a corner. You had to sit sideways in your seat to watch the game.

I guess I started at The Stadium Formerly Known As Papa John’s, then went the Churchill Downs way, then went to Freedom Hall.

Had some time to kill in Provo and decided to give myself a SkinnyBenny-style self guided tour of BYU’s facilities.  My time was cut short and my phone died so consider this just a teaser.  I’ll go back for a full report when Big12 expansion finally happens.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/46daea14f653d701ed4b4deb2e906cdc.jpg)

LaVell Edwards Stadium
where Victors, Legends, Champions, Heroes, and Amazing are made (Amazing? Doesn’t really fit the theme)

The stadium is essentially four separate pieces.  The west and east stands run the length of the field.  The north and south stands close the end zones.  There is a gap in all four corners.  Here’s a look at the southwest corner to give you and idea. 

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/22edea3116ab5d7313ad4e7e7f2ab73b.jpg)

West side has a full length press box and suites.  No suites on the other 3 sides.  No club level seating anywhere.  Also take note of the setting.  It’s no hill, but the Wasatch range is nice if you like that sort of thing.  Unfortunately clouds obscured the peaks this day.  Upper west siders should have a view of Y mountain. South end zoners should have a great view of Mt Timpanogos to the north.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/012a85d237b078b3124dc25fb2eac51c.jpg)

This place was locked down.  Only exterior pics.  Also check out the mini ramps.  They are in all four corners.  Coug fans would be amazed by the monster ramps in KC.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/43abaaf0950fd13d515a0843dbbe2eb6.jpg)

Here’s the exterior view of the South jumbotron.  NuSkin apparently is a big donor.  Not surprising considering that Utah is the MLM capital of the US, maybe the world.

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/acd27b7cd0668f892451836f8967c247.jpg)

Good sized parking lot with a little ticket booth just west of the stadium.  Plenty of space for pregame with the ward bros &sisters to slam Diet Pepsi, antidepressants, and opioids.  But no booze.  That’s bad for you.

One other thing to mention but didn’t get a picture of... there are gated stroller check areas inside the stadium.  Very nice feature for those hauling the lil coug fans in to the game.  Sure beats stashing a stroller under the bleachers at the top of Sections 10/11 in BSFS.

That all for LaVell Edwards Stadium.  Up next... Oh my heck!  What is this little Denver airport across the street?

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/75ac65b8c1099268ead256f639eca60b.jpg)

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180128/f65988ad9ab97c7807648234c353635b.jpg)

Why that’s Miller Park!  Home of both the batcoug’s and lady batcoug’s.  Their fields sit home to home with the shared airport canopy press box in between. 

I didn’t have time for the Marriot Center but you can see it in the pic above.  Just a square brick building.  Kind of a let down.  Maybe the inside is nice.  Hope to find out next time.

Well that’s all for now.  See you at stake conference next month.  Can I sign you up to bring a jello salad?

You'll never meet a more hoops-obsessed group of folks than the Mormons, this is no joke.  I read somewhere once that the reason why BYU and Utah (and Utah State and a few other schools in the west) are so consistently good at basketball is because every Mormon church has a basketball hoop and they all love to ball.

What is it with the Big 10 - so many schools have HUGE stadiums.  And they consistently sell out.   Went to game at Camp Randall in Madison, man, it was like going to a Chiefs game.  Actually, I think Camp Randall seating is >3,000 than Arrowhead.

It's why the state of Kansas should really only have 1 FBS/D1A school instead of 3. This state just doesn't have the population to support all the programs.

Yeah I watched some of that game and they mandated that every offensive possession had to go in the same direction.  This field is set up along the right field line but I think when the Bears were playing at Wrigley the field was aligned with left field and it didn't really fit that way either.  lol pud stadium.

I was talking about the schools, not the stadiums, a 11k student school and a 20k student school both located in the middle of nowhere but yeah right next to each other in two different states is not what you'd expect.

The difference is that Gregory Gym has been in continual use, has had upgrades, and is very small. Ahearn has been abandoned at this point, it isn't used for anything but indoor track practice and it's days are numbered for that too.

Good for Bama - I've seen several games in Coleman and the best way to describe it is... weird. From the outside, it's a rectangular shaped building and then you walk in and the court runs perpendicular to the shape of the building. It's kind of like Indiana in that the sides just keep going up and up and up, but the ends are pretty shallow. Just a really unique (if not odd) venue.

Honestly, I think they should just blow out all their stands, put aluminum bleachers around most of the stadium, and have these premium party areas on that end.

I very much disagree, it used to be, that expansion was a gigantic mistake.

OSU fans don’t fill it up, so the expansion makes it worse most games. I’m talking just the building, not the current game day atmosphere. It’s just tight & steep around the court. It was maybe 1/3 full yesterday & still got loud points. It’s the opposite of the Bramlage 1980s multipurpose arena & put a basketball court in the middle design. Put 2008-2015 K-State teams/fans in GIA & I think that would be the loudest arena in CBB & 2nd probably isn’t close.

OSU has always been my 2nd favorite teams because of family history. I lived here 7 years before having kids & have been to a lot of random OSU games as an OSU fan. However, their fans are weirdest combination of entitled & inferiority to OU. Every in-stadium break is just put someone different on the big screen to yell “Go Pokes” & do the guns up hand signs. I was wanting seed company or local car dealer ads just to break it up. They also have to have the oldest fan base. The average age at the game yesterday was at least 10 years older than at Bramlage. If I was OSU I’d have concerns about the basketball fan base dropping even further off a cliff as these people get too old to consistently go to games/die.

Yeah, OSU has never filled their stadium/arenas with any great regularity.

They should have never have expanded GIA.   It's empty.

They shouldn't have expanded their football stadium, they rarely sell out.    They don't have the T-Shirt fanbase OU does.

Up to 62,000 seats?

There's literally no one on a major league sports level, or a major college athletic level that's looking to build or renovate stadiums/arenas with more seats then one they've already got.    The last one to do that was CultAggie and in a few years when Jimbo is still losing 3 or 4 games a year they'll have empty seats.     

The Buffalo Bills new stadium will seat 10,000 less then what they can seat now in their current stadium.     

Even Alabama slightly reduced capacity in their latest renovations.    Michigan struggles to fill their seats for every game.   College football attendance is on a steady decline because people don't want to pay $$ to go sit in some shitty seats in a stadium with sub-par amenities.

Here's a hint of what our blue blood thinks of the Big XII.
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
The Big XII may or may not be a conference on the verge of irrelevance in terms of national prominence with the imminent departure of Oklahoma and Texas.  The league is adding teams to keep its footprint strong with the possibility of making it stronger with a wider footprint.  Will this be the saving grace or just a band-aid, we don't know.  Will other schools bail at the next best opportunity...would you if you were on a ship that was seemingly, aimlessly drifting?  There are three outcomes, the Big XII shores itself up enough to stay semi relevant...love them or hate them, it's hard to replace OU and Texas in football.  Two, the Big XII becomes the slightly more impressive version of the Mountain West or American Athletic Conferences, both of those two situations are not ideal for a world class university with a basketball program that is so blue blood that the blue used in the graphic to describe Blue Blood Basketball has KU's Pantone color numbers!  The next option, unless another one comes along, is the poaching or "purchasing" of topflight schools with topflight athletic programs isn't quite finished yet.  Pick any school in the country that isn't in the big 10 10, the SEC, the ACC or...even the PAC 12, which school would you want the most.  The one that brings you more prestige and massive name recognition, or the next best option.  Because they will come knocking somewhere, but you must make sure that it is on KU's door!

Title: Re: ITT We Laugh At Other Pud Teams' Pud Stadiums/Arenas
Post by: sonofdaxjones on March 30, 2022, 12:23:22 PM
That doesn't change the fact that they're one of the worst if not the worst Power 5 football program in the country, and if the independent committee ever decides to act and act in a way that fits the allegations of multiple top level violations.  Their basketball program will face severe sanctions and their head coach and likely their top assistant will be hit with show cause.   It would be KU basketball's 8th major violation- probationary period, more then any other school in the country.   Allegedly Self is threatening to out a bunch of  other coaches and schools and if the NCAA and the independent committee had any balls at all, they'd tell Bill they'll be there with notepads and recorders in hand, ready to write it all down and record it all.  But that it would change nothing relative to KU's penalties.

Basically, they think they are true blue bloods and better than the rest of the Big XII schools are piss ants without a chance to leave the conference.  One thing they are is true assholes that think a new FB stadium will be the attraction needed to move on.

seems average for a lower tier school like texas tech.  you would never see dylan edwards level players choosing a stadium like that for their home turf though

$50 million a year, well under the lowest B12 schools (us and Iowa State) by over $30 million a year.   They've got some folks making predictions that the new stadium will increase revenues by over $20 million by itself.   I'm not sure.  :dunno:

SDSU is really pushing hard for a PAC invite with commercials and full page newspaper ads, touting their winning record against PAC schools over the last 10 years. The new stadium will be leased out to a a few pro soccer teams and hold concerts.

The land purchase included an additional 86 acres for new 4600 market-rate and affordable student housing units and 95,000 sq ft of retail space , 400 hotel rooms, as well as some high tech office space.

Here's a fun one: I'm watching the Backyard Brawl and I got started thinking about Pitt's old facilities. Because playing at Heinz Field is just absolutely PUD. But I digress.

Started googling and did you know that their first real basketball gym -- their Nicholls Hall, if you will -- was called the Pitt Pavilion and it was located "in the bowels of Pitt Stadium." At halftime basketball players used to have to walk out of the gym and across the football field to get to the lockerroom. LOLOLOLOL

Upper level no real lighting, but it had the ambience of a fine restaurant after the sun went down.  2 small men's bathrooms so that line backed up quickly and intertwined with the concession line.

They're lower bowl has fewer seats than BSFS just eye balling it.  Only thing I can figure as they seem to have way more concrete and iron than we do for the same seating capacity of 50k.

A true commuter school experience... remote park and bus into the stadium was a first for us.

Attendant couldn't get our tickets to scan so just let us in after 4-5 attempts.

Donor parking had permanent seating, tables, canopies for tailgates which was cool.

Oklahoma State fan warned us too late. TV breaks are horrible if you're upper deck on score board end.  They insist on blaring music for the entire break.  Couldn't hear yourself think much less talk with anyone.

Tom is old AF sidebar:  It must be against their religion for the band to play during TV breaks so let's just blast whatever tf it is these kids listen to now.

Highlights, stats, other scores were limited, but a big dose of "hypnofrog" on big defensive downs.

TCU fans are cool.  Probably secure in the fact they make 10x what most of their opponents fans make annually.

I was up there in the corner as well and will second the annoying ass music getting thrown in my ear hole.

What's hilarious is how many empty seats there were given the fact it was a prime time black out game and they were undefeated. Student section is in prime position to make some noise but I'm not sure how effective they are as a group.

Other odd thing was the ramp to get to the upper deck is the most gradual incline I have ever seen. Must have walked half a mile to get 80 feet in elevation.

It's a fine enough stadium, went there in 2014, sat more in the middle but same height as Tom. The scary height thing definitely is true, especially when you walk to the other side, it has a pretty steep drop off the west side (it's a legit 40 ft lower than the east side, it's like built into the side of a hill).

Else it's fairly nice, reminds me a lot of Camden yards in terms of time it was made and the style of the architecture (obv Camden is better as a stadium, but it has a very similar vibe)

In this thread we will see the facilities offered by other teams and how none of them are as blessed as us. If you are a field reporter doing The Lord's work visiting random college football stadiums or basketball arenas, take pictures and put them in this thread so we can all go on a LOL rampage. (Or post pictures of the very few blessed schools who also have good The Settings.) 



AIR FORCE FALCONCATZ.

Admittedly their setting is pretty elite. You do have to deal with jabroni Air Force guards at the front gate stopping you and being all, "State your business." And you have to tell them you're going to take pictures of their stadium and their bad basketball arena.


Their East side reeeeeally needs some limestone. And they really need to get those trees out of there if they truly care about the well-being of our armed forces. :sdeek:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040861_zps736cdab4.jpg)


Taken from the top of their student section side. Underneath my feet are metal bleachers much like we had at The Wag throughout the 90s. T's & P's.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040862_zps42457d7b.jpg)


Weird roundy end zone fun zone.
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040865_zpsa08f6f52.jpg)


I wish the stadium were symmetrical but it isn't. :frown:
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040866_zpsed83d6e4.jpg)


...because it looks super I-AA'y from the press box side. (apologies 2 lakebison)
(http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r312/shaggsCD/P1040868_zpsac2b2172.jpg)



Cool view to see the unique curvature of their stadium. Terrible view to see the jumbotron (or any scoreboard, I think), which is off to the right, pushed way up, and facing the other way. At least from this seat you're really close to the huge speakers that project terrifying end-of-the-world drill announcements to the entire Air Force Academy, though.

Here is their huupz arena. The Falqatz are not blessed at all facilities-wise. It's this gym. And what you can't see behind me is that the concourse attaches to a college hockey arena on the other side. Very weird. And this gym has practice baskets that lower from the ceiling, which we all know is obviously a sign of your program being a poor (sister school Duke notwithstanding).

Just seeing this thread for the first time.  I went to a graduation at the Air Force Academy, and the commissioning for my buddy was the night before at the arena.  The funniest part was going out of the exits of the floor seats to go to the bathroom, just like any other normal place, and then running into the hockey part.  The hockey team is just having practice in their part of the arena literally right on the other side of a wall from the basketball court.  All under one roof.

With volleyball getting their own arena, I would assume we’re 100% committed to basketball being in Bramlage and a renovation happening there at some point.

So I have to be that cheese dick that says it, but there has got to be a way to build a field house type roof on Bramlage during a significant renovation, right? Basically a full rebuild on site.

Look, I know it’ll probably never happen, but seeing those renderings and what Baylor is building has me Jonesin

No. Why? Manhattan and Lawrence Kansas might be the only places in America still fascinated by field houses. Outside of the pissbarn, none of America's most heralded arenas aren't fieldhouses and many of them are unremarkable on the outside. I hope the only money we spend on the exterior of the building are on ada compliance and maybe some work on the west entrance.

I don't mind the interior, I think the court side seats and loge box additions are awesome. Scrap the benches for all seats and call it good. This reminds me that I need to upload my pics of the McHale Center.

Would love to see an acoustician’s report on what makes arenas loudest. Pitched roof? Certain materials on the roof? Angle of bleacher incline? Some benches vs. all chairs? Position of students to the sideline?

I do think all chairs leads to fan comfort, which leads to fan complacency. At least that’s my theory.

A major priority of a Bramlage reno has to be bringing the baseline bleachers closer to the court. That gulf is so big that we may as well have a track around it. It’s embarrassing.

This is the McHale Center, home of Arizona basketball. Technically it's home of Arizona everything but football. The concourse at this arena doesn't have concession stands, but the offices for all their sports that are not football. You seriously enter the arena this way, it's weird, I felt like I do when I enter an arena when it isn't open, like I'm trespassing and hoping I'm asked to leave and not get arrested. This was during a game between two top 25 teams.
This was right inside my gate and the walk to my seat.

This was half of the exactly half of the arena. The other half were offices for other sports primarily those who use the McHale Center, volleyball, gymnastics, swimming and diving. Those sports don't have even close to the amount of space that men's and women's basketball has. Their program has an absurd amount of great, recent history, only one title is kind of a fail.

It's really really really nice inside the seating area. As mentioned before, all bucket seats. To make up for no concessions on the concourse, they have three concession stand areas inside the bowl. Cool concept but they aren't very big and for big games I imagine these can kinda suck. Not pictured Wayne Simien who was in attendance and walking right next to me when I snapped some of these photos.

its been a minute since i last dealt with acoustics but generally speaking when you want to attenuate sound you use soft surfaces. So i would imagine it makes sense that if you want it loud you want hard surfaces that the sound will just bounce around. Not especially helpful since you don't go to many arenas where they put the eggcrate foam stuff on the walls (like your canadian friend probably has in his recording studio).

In terms of shape...i mean, the ancient romans figured out how to design amphitheaters where the person standing in the middle could project their voices out in every direction. I have to believe you could do the inverse of that right? like design the place so that no matter where you are in the arena that sound bounces around until its funneled to the court or, even better, visitor bench.

Their football stadium is simply named Arizona Stadium :zzz: it's right outside the McHale Center but it was locked up like Ft. Knox. In some places they had double gates with locks and key card entry, so no good photos here, just external shots.
Their practice facility is right outside the stadium similar to ours, the difference is there is a small street separating the stadium from the practice facility. There must be a tunnel from the locker rooms to the facility because the ground level is above the field, they have some nice windows on it but they are frosted.

No setting at all, the arena and stadium are on the edge of campus. The campus was pretty blah. They had one building called Old Main that was pretty neat, other than that, meh. Their bar district is on the other end of campus from the stadiums and it was pretty decent for a Thursday night at the end of the semester. They have a trolley system, jealous.

MIR! Hell yes! These pics are why I pay for premium. I always like that stadium because I think it's got a cool design on the inside -- sweet spot between simplistic (classic) and complex, and because it's the home of the 1993 Copper Bowl. Will always love it for that, concrete or not.

Super weird that about the concourses in the HuupCatz arena. Wtf? Do they not realize how much money they're leaving on the table? Is it possible there was some grand entrance you missed, or something? Indiana's Assembly Hall is kind of that way: lots of narrow hallways that are just athletic offices, but they also have some big grand entrances behind what would be midcourt for the T-shirt shops, concessions, trophy cases, etc.

I walked the whole damn thing, now I didn't go into each of the concession areas, I just the two bigger ones at mid court. There is a smaller one visable from the second seating bowl picture, where it says "Arizona Wildcats" on the right side of the photo, didn't go in there but they may sell gear in that area.

I want to go to Assembly Hall, badly. It's the only college basketball mecca I haven't seen.

No idea what's realistic, but some of reno grumblings had them making it split level 360 degrees around Bram, with multi-level entrance on the west side only. Would think if there's a way to split the seating about halfway up, it would push the lower section much closer to the floor.

I believe the rumors had that as the plan for just the west side, blowing it out and making a club level/having multiple level entrance on that side. While similar to that one side of the Fertitta Center, I don't think it's been said the entire arena would be similar to their renovation.

Stadium seating would be great. Seatbacks are more comfortable than regular stadium seats imo. Cushions are nice. Are there outdoor stadiums with cushioned seats? Man that would be nice. Maybe they could rent cushions like they do seatbacks.

Maybe be less of a beta and assert your dominance

Many of the 1.5'ers are women, and I would never assert my male dominance over them.
Stadium seating with cupholders would improve the game experience exponentially.

I disagree skinjamin and i'll tell you why and maybe its because i'm a "millenial" with borderline "zoomer tendencies" but its a lot easier for me to turn into a rowdyboi when i have some designated space that is my own and chairbacks sort of give you that. Like here i'll give you an example, the purples just advanced the ball past the line to gain and if i'm standing on a bench then i have to start dislocating my own shoulder before the PA guy says "good for a wild.cat..." if i want to have any prayer of getting my body rotated 90 degrees so that i can swing my arm to signal a first down. Because here's the thing SkiBe if i do a first down and my arm is not parallel to the sideline i feel even dumber than i look (and i look like a huge dumb idiot)

The problem with retro-fitting stadiums originally designed for bench seating with chairbacks is that that the aisles get really really tight.

I've not sat there, but lots of folks love the NEZ and the bench seat with a back.

I am bummed because both the new indoor facility and the new vball/OTC facility construction cams have been taken off line.  For obvious reasons, since one project is done, and the other is now all mainly interior work.

I suspect we may not get anything similar for the retrofitting of the old indoor into the new indoor track.   :frown:

The Niles and Frazier in me would like to hear that Gene has changed his mind on pausing to take a breath on facilities, and will use the Tang momentum to fund raise for the total renovation of Bramlage (and don't even bother bringing up building a whole new place, because in regard to that, the Rubicon has been crossed and the boats have been burned).

I take it you believe what works for JCCC West will work for Kansas State?  It took the JCCC West fan base an awful long time to remove that track surrounding their football field, and likely only did it because of ridicule from K-Staters.  I get the impression Cats fans have a higher facility IQ.

Only smart planning allows for the superior hole in the ground stadium which allows for decades of easy and less expensive high quality upgrades. Putting your stadium in a swampy low lying area next to a natural pond at the bottom of a hill has too high of a water table to dig down, so you’re stuck with either tearing the whole thing down or living with lipsticking a crumbling shell.

It is absolute dogshit and it's amazing an MLB team has played there for 25+ years. It's terrible in every way. When you have to have special rules in place for when balls hit catwalks in the ceiling (they actually count as home runs), that's all you need to know.

I still get mad when opposing fanbases call our stadium a hole in the ground and that pic is a good example.
Aren't most fields a hole in the ground?

Notice there are no lights.  I went to the first night game at the stadium in 1984 when they brought in portable lights.  We played and beat KU, remember Aggieville and surrounding areas being crazy until like 3am.
KU night game was 82.  My freshman year.  I will show myself over to the Signs of Getting Old thread.

What a wonky stadium Kinnick is. Less of a monstrosity, but in the same hodgepodge vein as Memorial in Lincoln. The tiny sideline stands w/ giant endzone seating really comes through in the photos.

Yeah, if you really wanted to eff up the general lee. Field level is about halfway down the stadium from street level, would be about the same as driving right past LHC Bill Snyder's statue and under the luxury boxes right at the top of section 5 at BSFS. Their seats are a lot more steep so you wouldn't have to gas it, as much, to clear the seats to get onto the field.

You know, the more I visit other stadiums, the more I realize how great BSFS really is when compared to most others. Example, last week I was at the OSU game, and while the money T Boone gave them did some real wonders, you can still tell that stadium is very old. The walkways, the restrooms, the constantly changing angles of the seats, the switch from concrete to aluminum... it's not bad, but it's all just got an odd feeling to it. Things just aren't what they should be in this day and age. There's very few TV's on the concourse, and you don't hear a broadcast of either the TV or radio when on the concourse or in the restrooms like at our stadium. The bathrooms are small, although there are sufficient numbers of them, but several only have one entrance and exit, so you get traffic jams.

We were in the stadium plenty early to avoid lines.  Did notice they were backed up severely at half.  Able to last until after the game.

TCU upper deck is pretty steep. I'm glad I wasn't a 7 because I was already nervous I was going to fall forward. What made it scary was the spot where you put your feet was narrow, and there was nothing there to stop you from falling forward onto the bleacher below you. It looks like they put bleacher backs on all the seats about 10 years ago, so that would help out a bunch.

We were in section 412 or 413 for the first cat game in Fort Worth. The seats on the other side of the stadium are normal.

I think this was addressed during one of their zillion renovations, but in the early 2000s, when A&M would do their swaying thing with the fans, the whole damn press box side of the stadium would shift left and right with the movement - you could literally feel the stands moving back and forth (like being at the top of the Arch, but worse). If you don't know it's coming (I didn't) it's incredibly unnerving.

Old Mountaineer Field was pretty cool. Squared horseshoe built into a natural valley on/adjacent to DT Morgantown and WVU campus. Built in 1924, it was a squared horseshoe that sat 39,000. Two thirds of the stands had concourse entries about halfway up the stands. One side did not. They built the new stadium because Old Mountaineer had no room for expansion and was hard to upgrade due to spacial constraints.

The difference between a Northwestern degree and a KU degree is the difference between figuring out your temporary home before starting renovations vs after.

Interesting idea and they probably should've just rebuilt their stadium there somehow. Any rendos?

I think this was addressed during one of their zillion renovations, but in the early 2000s, when A&M would do their swaying thing with the fans, the whole damn press box side of the stadium would shift left and right with the movement - you could literally feel the stands moving back and forth (like being at the top of the Arch, but worse). If you don't know it's coming (I didn't) it's incredibly unnerving.

I wonder if they used the same engineering skills that they used for the '99 bonfire.

Ooof

we were all thinking it

LOL, I should know better than to listen to Rovell, at any time. They can't do crap with this practice field. Beautiful setting though. K-State played at that soccer field a couple of seasons ago.

They could have metal bleachers like for MPRD cookie league all down both sidelines and behind one end zone, then accommodate 95% of their fans with one enormous Husker-style oversized end zone bleacher that has about 300 rows and spills over half the soccer field. Pete, can we get a rendering of this??

I’d think they could figure out some kind of flotilla situation. Like imagine bleachers but on the deck of a carrier. Bonus: when they have a flyover for the National anthem the planes could just go land on the carrier, which would save a lot in jet fuel costs/reduce their carbon footprint

I wonder if I still have my MS paint from a dozen years ago.
