Memorial Stadium in Lawrence blows

[sonofdaxjones]

Look at SD tryin to play all cool and above the fray.   

linking a bleacherreport piece that ranks our stadium high but titling the thread something anti-KU and then posting 6 garbage pages of anti-KU stuff doesn't require me to be cool or above the fray to  it.

I do agree that the bleacherreport story is a joke, as is the case with that website in general.

[Brock Landers]

Pretty impressive turnout for a track meet!!  What is that, from the Kansas Relays?

Damn, Old Balls Family Stadium really is in an elite location.

Beems, I see they finally posted that pic for you in that creepy thread you started over on the phog. Congrats.

[OregonSmock]

Look, if Beems legitimately thing Memorial is as nice as BSFS then I can't help him.  You can't win an arguement with that type of stupidity.

The stadium itself isn't as "nice" as BSFS.  The campus location is better, and the tailgating experience is just as good when KU doesn't go 2-10.  If and when Memorial undergoes another renovation, I personally believe it will be one of the better gameday experiences in the country.

The concourse is so shitty.

I don't think you know what the word creepy means.  From the urban dictionary:

Creepy

adj. An overused slang term for sexually inappropriate or perverted or for attempting to derive sexual gratification through dishonorable means. Unfortunately, the word has become an abused favorite of melodramatic people who try hard to use the word wherever possible, to the point of rendering the word almost meaningless.

Asking for a pic of a halfway "mentally slower" person is creepy, Ben.

Unfortunately for you, the Memorial Stadium pics aren't photoshopped.

[Dugout DickStone]

So, beems post on phog to get the photoshop of weird robert than came over here a day later and posted it?

Beems is an elite bbs'r, that's what that tells me.

Heh. Pitt St. arguably has a better tailgating environment than KU.  What exactly is so appealing about KU's gameday environment?  It has never been good, you have nothing to base this potential "better gameday experiences in the country" except your astronomical level of butthurt.  I went to KU for 4 yrs.  Saturdays in the fall were horrendous.  Granted that was at the end of Glen Mason era, but I've been back for several events in the past few years, including 2007 and 2008, and there's absolutely no way you can objectively make the claims you're attempting to make.

No it's not, Heath.  I wanted the picture so I could show just how beautiful BSFS was from the cow pastures.  Had nothing to do with that weird guy that scrounges around K-State sporting events.  Move along now.

Why did you include his name in your request on phog?

To each their own, I guess.  I have a good friend who went to Oklahoma State, and she always comes back to Lawrence to tailgate for a football game.  I guess some people enjoy tailgating in places other than a giant, generic parking lot (surrounded by cow pastures and sheep pens).

Because he's featured in the foreground of the picture, genius.

If you were a diehard ku football fan (or once every other year, an EMAW with all your EMAW friends coming to town) and lived in one of those shitty houses around the stadium, it would be great.

Tailgating was invented for giant generic parking lots, otherwise it would just be called grilling your backyard.

I don't understand why the place smells so bad.

Or frontyard, when LSOC rolls up on Daris' lawn.

I think BMW likes the experience because he likes the Jayhawks. He loves his team and that's fine.

I think Bramlage is better than AFH.

Probably somewhere in the 40's.

Yea this the only truth in this thread.
Every fan thinks their school and it's buildings and it's teams are the greatest.
This is what makes college sports so great.  Because fans from different fanbases have all had different experiences and perspectives. 
Every fan thinks their fight song is the greatest.  And who cares who is the greatest.  We're all unique and we all have unique traditions.  And that's ok.
