there's a reason Tulane quit playing at Tad Gormley...

The visiting section is no better than high school bleachers. Getting into the stadium at night you have to pass hordes of people huddled around burning trash cans. The bathrooms are worse than Rest Stops - even the guys bathroom has lines. The campus sucks, the town is dink and there is no real tailgating going on...unless you bring your own burning trash can.
A little hyperbole from a Duck fan what a surprise
. I have been to almost ever home game from 2001 to now. Never have saw a burning trash can in the parking lot or tailgating. Most of the tailgating goes around in parking lots around the campus and stadium. I have talked to several visiting fans and the vast majority of them had a fun time there.
Corvallis is small town and slow, but that has nothing to do with the stadium. Getting out of there can be a pain is the arse though.

Has anyone mentioned washington husky stadium?

Rynearson Stadium, Eastern Michigan. Nobody's ever there, Ypsilanti is frightening, and there are weeds growing through the concrete on the vistors' side. Just horrible.

They are remodeling it right now, getting rid of the track and changing the endzone. It will look a lot better when they are done.

It doesn't help that the U. of Michigan is 5 miles away.

Just looked up Ypsilanti... Was there really a need for another university 6 miles from Ann Arbor?

Yeah y'all definitely need a brick facade. Being able to see the structure of the bleachers gives it a high school feeling.

Eastern got its start as a normal school or college for training teachers, which was not UM's focus.
Being close to UM is actually a plus for Eastern.
Of the stadiums I've been to, Ryan Field (Dyche Stadium) is nothing more than a giant high school stadium.
Camp Randall has the atmosphere, but I'd rather watch a game at the new Gopher Stadium (TCF Bank Stadium) than Camp Randall. Camp Randall is really nothing too special. Spartan Stadium since it's upgrade is a much better stadium. You don't have chain link fences and the like around Spartan Stadium.

Isn't Eastern Mich consistently ranked 120th every year. Or is that Western Mich?

I've been to Rynearson several times, and it's alright but I wasn't aware of the weeds growing in the stands
That said, I agree Ypsi sucks arse as a town (I live ~20 min away and Eastern isn't a very good school, I might add).

No one
, they've discussed being demoted to D1AA on several occasions because of their attendace (or lack thereof).Posted on 2/14/12 at 2:43 pm to busey
Yeah I think it's eastern. I think western had a decent couple of seasons not too long ago.

Not the shittiest, but does anyone else who has been to Doak Campbell think that its facade is a prime example of putting lipstick on a pig? I was expecting a palace and it thoroughly disappointed.

I've never been to an ACC stadium or even watched much ACC football, but it always looks like the stadiums are old and decrepit.

Props for finding a Miami game that actually has people in the stands.
Tulsa's stadium looks pretty bad
