Memorial Stadium (Kansas):




Quote
When making a list of Big 12 venues to visit, Memorial Stadium in Lincoln or Norman may easily top the list, but Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas might at first seem like a less desirable destination.  That just might prove to be a mistake.

Regardless of the Jayhawks' performance on field, Kansas fans continue to flock to Memorial in droves.  2009 represented a struggling Jayhawk squad who managed only five wins (after a stunning 12 win season only two years prior) but still averaged 50,581 fans in a stadium that holds 50,071.

Built in 1920 to honor Kansas students who died in World War I, Memorial Stadium is a tremendous college football venue. The University of Kansas may be overlooked as a basketball school that is mildly interested in its football when in reality it is a hotbed of fanaticsm for both sports.



:love:




This is a list not to be excited to be on BWM.

The new videoboard does look good . . . but it is kind of funny seeing Kivisto's name up there considering he hasn't given ku all the money he promised, and he's inline to become the second name associated with a ku sports facility to go to prison.

Memorial Stadium in Lawrence is one of the best stadiums around.

What other BCS school allows visiting fans to take over the stadium year in year out?

Answer? None.

One of a kind, that stadium.

Awful nice of KU to add that new screen so visiting fans can watch their team ass rape KU in HD.

When you look at Husky Stadium you fully understand how everything else in the Big 12 except CU sucks in comparison . . . and no, the stupid f'ing hill and the scum covered pond at ku doesn't even come close.

True, but you could say the same about the majority of stadiums out there compared to UW's.  Pretty hard to beat the lake/mountain combo.

Husky Stadium is spectacular, it doesn't even matter that they also have a track around their field.

Yeah, the high school track is somewhat less high schoolish partly due to the perfectly framed view of Mt. Ranier on the horizon and Lake Washington chalked full of million dollar yachts 100 feet from the endzone.

Husky Stadium's scenery is tight.  Its atmosphere is bogus.  Good luck getting hostile with that track in the way (check out how far back those horrid end zone seats are).  Plus, nobody in Seattle really gives a crap. 

Still, the view!   :love:

I like the giant file cabinets holding up the huge video screen.  Now you can't see from the hill as well I'm guessing.

beems, hands-on-hips early in the first quarter of the spring game is not a good sign.
