The Rose Bowl is little more than a dump with a nice lawn.





I was not that impressed with it either

Rogers Centre in Toronto was a massive dump when I went in 2014. Hopefully they’ve remodeled since.

Eh, honestly to me its always looked like a giant soulless stadium designed to fit as many people as possible.

Now there's probably a dozen or more English Premier League stadiums that look great/unique on TV that are old or not impressive in person.

Boston garden and Detroit tiger stadium are legendary. It is a shame they couldn’t be saved

Fenwaybin person is like a living museum. Nothing about it is a dump. It's just old and feels like you're in 1940.

I've half arse followed the fate of the Tiger Stadium field through the years. For a long time, the lot at Michigan and Trumbull was mowed by locals who kept home base in the correct spot. Currently, though it's surrounded by condos, the field lives on: Google Maps

L.A. Coliseum is a big half full dump for USC games. Cement crumbling everywhere, latinos slobbering over Mexican street corn…a legendary dump.

I’d rather watch a game there 100/100x over the new LA stadium. It’s a fantastic venue.

The Orange Bowl was a complete dump towards the end - and it was magnificent.

As much as I hated playing there those old Miami/FSU day games in 120 degree heat with a packed Orange Bowl was one of the best atmospheres in College Football
