ITT We Laugh At Other Pud Teams' Pud Stadiums/Arenas

[passranch]

Those cowards at A&M missed out on not doing this proposed renovation:

I always get a chuckle out of the bats flying out of the stadium in this one.

I have seen online banter about the steepness of one of the upper level endzone areas at Zebco-Kyle Field.  Like border line dangerous if you trip or stumble.

Need a comparison to upper level of Gallagher Iba to fully understand.

At what angle is a trip or stumble on stairs no longer dangerous?

Ski slope has to be the monstrosity on the left.

What an ugly campus

A&M dangerous is a whole other level as you can see

The setting doesn't look too great either

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.

Everyone knows you've gotta have a hill.

aTm should be dismantled brick by brick and the alumni placed in rehabilitation camps.  They are an absurd people.

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.

Pretty neat how it was nestled just right there. Don't see that often, today.

[cfbandyman]

That's pretty cool, as perfect spatial use as you can get

Have to assume the tailgating was very Lawrenceesque.

Did someone already do Razorback stadium?  #2 with the inlaws today there for the 7-3 loss against Mississippi State.

That's a great hole in the ground.

Interesting idea and they probably should've just rebuilt their stadium there somehow. Any rendos?

I wonder if they used the same engineering skills that they used for the '99 bonfire.

The difference between a Northwestern degree and a KU degree is the difference between figuring out your temporary home before starting renovations vs after.
