Post by: sonofdaxjones on November 18, 2013, 08:31:12 AM
Dowdy Ficklin Stadium ECU:

Pro's:

Generally nice stadium:  Brick wall around lower bowl, with lovely hedges down the length of both sidelines.   

Videoboard-Good

Pre-Game:  Good; needless to say they can do a lot with Pirate mascot, "Hoist the Colors" replete with Pirates of the Carribean Film Clip was quite good. 

Lots of tree's outside stadium, would have scared John Currie to death. 

Good tailgating. 

Stadium Club was nice.

Their Vanier was an interesting looking building, I hear it's pretty nice on the inside. 


Con's

Sadly ECU cares a lot about football, but they play in a crap conference and outside of VT, they had a crap home schedule this year, Crowd only marginally into it. 

Pressbox:  Totally pud, probably the biggest difference between DFS and BSFS.  No Suites.
