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:

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.




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.

What else do you want to know about my thoughts on stadiums Cartier For Three Three-ey Carts Carti-yayz Three-ey Throoo?

The other indoor stadium in ND
The Alerus Center.  Home of UN_ (aka the University of No D)



Woof. Is everything in your Canadian province shitty?

Why yes......................yes it is.

I should turn in my Bison man-card for doing this.........  but...........here is "that school's" hockey facility.  I'm fixin' to get the crap beat out of me for doing this.



So we're not going to talk about the Anti-Semite, Ralph Engelsted, who built this arena? How about the fact that he put hundreds of the UND Sioux logo in the arena after the Sioux objected to the logo and told UND he would pull funding if they changed the logo?

You know what was one of the most bizarre arena designs ever, both inside and out? The Omni in Atlanta. I mean wut.

SHIZA!  This is a huge improvement over what it replaced.  FWIW, only the scoreboard was replaced this offseason.  The absurd temporary bleachers had been replaced for some time:

I like the "tradition" "pride" "loyalty" "excellence" arches on the old scoreboard. I hope they ended up in whatever their version of the purple pig is.

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:

Agree with ya, SB, on our "gulf". However, it's not as bad as you might think. My dad has had season tickets there for the past 20 or so years, and it's never bothered me to be set back that far from the field. Ill try to upload some pics I've taken from our seats soon.

I actually sat there for the KSU game this year and the sight lines are fine, I just think it looks odd from an architectural standpoint.

Its fine if you are elevated above the gulf. Unlike Texas' old endzone:

They take themselves really seriously. That video  :sdeek:

EDIT: It looks like a nazi parade at 1:53


Double EDIT: One of the values they list at 3:55 is loyalty  :lol:


Triple EDIT (it was a long video): their plans for club and suite level seating are pretty elite.
