He means the North Endzone and South Endzone aren't the exact same shape. North Endzone is more curved and the SEZ is curved in the corners but it straightens out in between. And the SEZ has that upper section and the lower secretion whereas the NEZ is all one thing.

It's a gorgeous stadium and one of the most storied and imposing stadiums in the country but he was saying that it looks likes it's made up of different pieces to form the whole.

I'm glad they took out the chainlink fence around the stadium years ago. It didn't bother me much, but the field looks a lot better with the black fence.

Post about soccer...the rant laughs at dat.

Several times, I've given a legitimate effort to like soccer. It just doesn't happen for me.

While I do appreciate the national pride and support at the World Cup, the game itself is just too flawed. Very low scoring means the winner is decided too often by a lucky bounce or silly penalty kick, horrible offensive rules that prevent scoring, lots of flopping, too much "icing" of the ball, and draconian penalties for minor penalties in the box resulting in penalty kicks (which make it FAR TOO EASY to score) and have far too much of an effect on the game.

With a few tweaks to the rules making average scores of 6-5, soccer would be a very fun game to watch. But the purists will never allow it.

It IS made up of different sections, constructed at different times. No need to downvote, it's simply a fact.

1. FIELD TURF. That is the 1st thing I'd do if I were in charge. After 1 game the field looks like shite. In fact, if that picture is up to date the field already looks like shite and a game hasn't even been played yet.

2. I'd match all the seats inside the stadium or at least mix match them better. All dark gray or mix match the purple and gold.

3. I'd put hedges around the fence or a nice brick wall because that black fence isn't that great

I liked it better in the 90s when it had that old college football nostalgic feel to it.

No I am not kidding. The field looks like shite almost all the time. You must work for the grounds crew!

Ok, I'm sorry. It looks decent during pregame warm ups before the 1st game starts.

Dude, your video is about the experience, it has nothing to do with the field. I never said anything about the game time experience, although a nice field would make it even better.

My comments and ideas were in relation to making the stadium on the inside even more beautiful....b/c what they did to the outside, especially the South endzone is fugly! Doesn't even match....all awkward looking!

ok here is a photo from the Alabama game last year:

You said the field looks fricked up most of the time, in my opinion the field looks fine.

Wow and aerial view from the top of the North endzone during pregame. Of course it's going to look fine. They've masked it up as best they can. Go walk on the field. See the holes, divots, etc. Looks like your playing golf at Webb Park.
