Memorial Stadium Renovation

I've only been to Wisconsin once and I was too young to remember.  Do have a picture with Barry Alvarez there tho.  ND stadium is pretty underwhelming.  If they didn't have Touchdown Jesus it wouldn't be on this list.   Ohio St stadium looks pretty cool from the outside.  Never attended a game there.  Would like to know what they are basing this list off  

 
Here's what they said about The Rose Bowl

Broadcaster Keith Jackson used to marvel (repeat it in his legendary voice) about the majestic San Gabriel Mountains hovering in the distance at the Rose Bowl. Good luck finding a more picturesque backdrop for any football stadium on the planet, especially at sunset. Sure, the stadium is old and in need of repairs, but there's a reason it was established as a National Historic Landmark.

The Rose Bowl Game is held there every year. The stadium also has hosted five Super Bowls, an Olympic gold medal match in soccer and multiple World Cup finals. Although UCLA doesn't draw big crowds for home games, the blend of history, pageantry and scenery surrounding the iconic 92,542-seat stadium in Pasadena, California, makes it a must-visit for any college football fan

I’ve went to Oklahoma, Colorado, Wisconsin in the last few years. I really liked OU- it was the right blend of being WWI-ish, with a modern vendor area with tables for proper beer drinking. I enjoyed the stadium MC- I thought it was fun. 
 

I liked Colorado for a smaller venue. Not the people, but every view was good and being a bowl, it was loud. Kind of like what I remember Missouri was like.  
 

Wisconsin is bit like us, but seemed much easier in and out. It also has upper deck concessions so you didn’t have to walk down 75 rows to get something. At least on the East side 

 
I forgot to add, ours is pretty tired in amenities and atmosphere. There are way too many ads on the video screens and too many people being recognized (loudly) during pivotal moments of the game. Commercials should only be for tv watchers.

This.  Our draw is the sellouts (I'm honestly shocked it's still going but the University knows they better keep it going by any means necessary,  or really watch the bottom fall out). There are much better places to watch football games IMO, as far as fan experience, seating quality, amenities, restrooms, ingress/egress, tailgating, on and on.

I could forgive the actual amenities if the atmosphere was rockin. Heck it would be a retro bonding experience.  We could brag about not needing a 1/2 billion $ facility to be an intimidating place to play. 
 

but it’s almost excruciating. Look I love veterans, kids, the farmer of the year, the bestest Boy Scout club,  etc.  But pick two and leave them in the first quarter.   And then the ribbon boards. Can’t stand them.  I wish they scrolled the scores from other games. Maybe they do, but I can’t see them because of the visual clutter. 

and if we just can’t win I want a padded seat, cheap beer and easy access to a bathroom.  It would be cheaper to win then buy a new stadium.
