So where are we on Colorado State's new stadium?

https://stadium.colostate.edu/
Initial impressions:

1. It looks much bigger than 41,000 seats on that little rendering. Before I looked at the capacity, I thought it was 60+ for sure and was lol'ing at the thought of them filling that on a consistent basis.

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

It looks a lot like McLane Stadium to me. Hopefully they don't use vinyl bricks.

Pretty much identical to Minnesota's (relatively) new place

I'm guessing they wanted a skyline view?

Zac brown band is also playing there

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.

was not aware USC was renovating the coliseum. LOL at the KU esque bleachers behind the endzone.

It's an absolute dump. Needs to be bulldozed. ("NO BUT THEY HAD THE OLYMPICS THERE DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION!" wgaf.)

I'll get to CSU's new stade when I have a little time. But omg. Just looked at USC's and holy moley it's SO bad. Everything about them is just really annoying, even down to their stadium and its renovations.

San Diego State will be building a new stadium in a few years if the Chargers get their downtown stadium built.

Right?! That's the first thing I said when I saw it.

CSU won't fill that stadium on a regular basis.

They will if they get into a power five conference. There are more people interested in watching KU football than San Jose State.

Also I love the LA Coliseum, not sure how much I'd like a football game there, but I loved visiting; I got goose bumps.

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #1218 on:** May 15, 2016, 06:18:50 AM »

It is definitely a better venue to visit when you don't have to watch a game there.

DQ12 · « **Reply #1219 on:** May 17, 2016, 08:06:15 AM »

I'd love to visit the coliseum and really don't mind USC in general. I love Traveler is one of my fav CFB horses!

That said, I have no clue what they were thinking with that press box arrangement. It's like if Michigan's pressbox got a beer gut.

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.
