I saw that article too, and noted that it had several MAC schools. However, with respect to a lot of the stadiums that they have on the list, there are several where the article actually says the stadium is a pretty nice place to watch a game, but because the team is so bad, the stadium gets a poor rating. I also thought that it was pretty funny that, at least where I saw the article, the picture for the article had Kelly shorts stadium at CMU as the cover photo. LOL.

Surprised Michigan Stadium is not on that list.

It is one of the most uncomfortable football stadiums in America. Granted, it is large, and they fill it, but that does not make the facility adequate. The seats are too darned small, the concourses, rest rooms, concessions and parking are not nearly enough to address the number of people, and the culture is contrived and disturbingly commercial (Nike sell-outs).

The best collegiate stadium in Michigan is Waldo. By far!

Proud to be a Bronco and NOT a Wolverine or Spartan!

I doubt much effort was put into this.

Michigan Stadium is hallowed ground to 100's of thousands of Michigan Football fan faithful. If it was the MOST uncomfortable stadium in America they still wouldn't allow it to be dissed in publication.

There are UM Football forums online-including MLive-which are closely 'patrolled' by UM fans and they will instantly delete anything really critical of their program. Can you imagine a PUBLIC FORUM where real criticism is not allowed and is deleted minutes after being posted? For many, UM fandom is almost a cult. They spend hours every day defending it in forums online. It's almost a cult, utterly appalling.

I agree 100%. Hate games at Michigan Stadium. Waldo is, honestly, the best D1 college stadium in the state. We will be going to the Army/UM game next season, and don't look forward to the BS. It would be worth it if the Black Knights pull it off though.

Was it Bill Gates who said something along the lines of, "Customer complaints are the greatest source of innovation"?

Chip Dip would have loved this piece...It disses CMU and EMU as two of the six MAC teams listed....He understood that it wasn't relevant to the truth if the narrative regarding those schools was negative....He would have spun this as a glorious tribute to Western and Waldo Stadium.
Ya can't always take this stuff too literally or seriously...
