tschu Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well, that begs the question: How are they ranking these stadiums? Atmosphere? Best food? Hottest fans? Awesomeness Quote Link to comment
Goal-line Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 So, when is the actual scheduled date of completion of the entire stadium expansion? Will it be ready by the Fall of 2013? Quote Link to comment
BOJ Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well, that begs the question: How are they ranking these stadiums? Atmosphere? Best food? Hottest fans? Well, to throw my two cents in (which of course will include my innate biases)... The Big House is huge and all, but its not entirely fan friendly, even with the renovations people are packed in like sardines and the upper seats are sooo far away from the field since its just one big bowl. Happy Valley is huge, but it does not have the history and is not a very pleasant piece architecturally, just a bunch of mangled aluminum pieces put together like an erector set, but the seating is better and its louder than the Big House. The Shoe does not have a bad seat in the house (unless you are unfortunate enough to have a seat in the lower section directly behind the mammoth flag pole) and it is one the more fan friendly stadiums while being enormous (plenty of bathrooms, concessions, easy to enter/exit, etc.) and having the long history/tradition that the Big House enjoys. With all that said, I will go with Ohio Stadium, Memorial Stadium (it was modeled after Ohio Stadium after all--even though that is all I know about the stadium, and the whole sell-out thing helps), Happy Valley, and The Big House Quote Link to comment

Jaybird Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Huskers could always get new turf and stripe it like this: No me gusta!!!! That hurts my eyes to look at it on the computer screen let alone actually watch a football game there. I am ok with the striping like Oregon and Nebraska has slight differences in the green to make it look like it is mowed differently but that is crazy. I have never liked the blue turf at Boise, or even the red turf at eastern Washington. It is a gimmick and I don't think we need to do things like that here. If you want to put some color in the endzones or something I am ok with that even but grass or grass looking playing field is was I prefer! Quote Link to comment

Blackshirts007 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Huskers could always get new turf and stripe it like this: that is worse than boise's blue field or eastern washingtons red field Quote Link to comment
ZRod Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Huskers could always get new turf and stripe it like this: I have a strange craving for a candy cane right now... Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 These random ugly turf colors need to be banned. now. Boise's is bad enough, they've officially jumped the shark. Quote Link to comment

Jaybird Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Will it be required to be on something to make the most of your experience at the new Aloha Stadium once they get the new turf in? I can see it now acid and shrooms made available at the concession stands! Quote Link to comment

Michigan stadium all the way to number six (based on some of what I said above). The field is wide open. Quote Link to comment
