I was surprised to see so many B12 stadiums on the list.

ISU 15
CU 17
BU 22
KU 23
BYU 25
TTU 27
TCU 35

Not having been to any I cannot express an opinion, but was shocked by 7 of 16 being listed.

Of others on the list I have been to:

Miami OH #2 I agree
Tulane #7 I do not agree
Marshall # 11 ambivalent
Toledo #24 I agree
Memphis #29 ambivalent

Seriously? Not one Big 10 school. Better check the credentials of the ones writing this.

Vanderbilt has the crappiest conditions of any SEC school, yet they pick on Miss State and Missouri?

The small schools listed were a travesty because they have what they can afford. Kudos to them for not wasting money on seats that would be empty or improvements in concessions which weren't necessary.

In the Big 10 take your pick. Purdue, Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, even Michigan State. Yet not 1 Big 10 school on the list. But they trash small schools in Texas, rag on the Big 12, find of couple of SEC schools to criticize, rag on Marshall and some MAC schools and toss in Duke which while small is nice, FSU which has been renovated and don't mention Pitt, B.C., or Wake.

They lost their cred when Purdue and Vanderbilt didn't pop up in the top 10 and all credibility when neither got mentioned.

I didn't click on that link, but Tech has a pretty nice stadium (as does OSU)

and if Cincy isn't on the top of that list, then you know it's bogus.

KU is in the middle of a remodel. TCU and BU recently did a remodel.

LOL - Miss State is on that list because it doesn't compare to other SEC facilities... ROTFLMAO... as is nippert does compare

One of the stadium’s primary shortcomings is its limited seating capacity. While it may have undergone renovations, the seating options remain relatively constrained, which can limit fans’ choices and affect their overall enjoyment of the game.

Lack of intellectual curiosity. Trash something you did not read or cannot understand.

A truly incompetent author and article.

Baylor does not use Floyd Casey anymore, and the TCU stadium is still relatively new at barely over 10 years old. It is not some outdated facility.

My issue with the article is it feels like it was written by ChatGBT. Phrases like "grapples with a set of challenges", "can struggle to meet contemporary standards and may leave attendees wanting more" or some variation of this occurs repeatedly and each section is structured extremely similar. It also doesn't really talk specifics about the stadium but instead uses these generalized phrases like "aging infrastructure", "memorable gameday experience", "align itself with modern standards".

LMFAO. Your agenda against Cincinnati is hilarious and just shows how little you know ball. Nippert is awesome. I've been to about 40 stadiums across the country, Nippert kicks ass.

We all agree the Worst College Football Stadiums are those Bowl Games that play in a Baseball Stadium, right?

There are awkward distances between front row seats and field. The sightlines are all wrong. Its just an awful experience.

The two worst stadiums I have been to are no longer in use... Legion Field in Birmingham, and the Rubber Bowl in Akron.

Georgia State...

It was totally predictable. I could have told you that he was going to respond that way before I looked at the thread.

Don't feed the trolls.

Right? I can't speak to most of the others, but on this one it smacks of generalization and feels like "tell me you've never attended a game at BYU without actually saying it."

Look at this abomination of a football field awkwardly shoved into a baseball diamond. Look how far the front row seat is for some of these fans.

Baseball Stadiums shouldn’t host Bowl Games or be a Neutral Site.

I can tell a turd when I see one... the only curiosity would be how bad it really stinks.

Seriously, you don't need to post every dang click-bait story that you fall for on this site.

Not according to the criteria they used against Miss St.... should like they were actually talking about nippert

Both are relatively new stadiums, not a remodel. BU being the newer of the two. TCU having additional seating/suites added just the other year.

I didn't even make it to either of those, I hit #11 Marshall and read:

Joan C. Edwards Stadium, while a relatively recent addition to the college football landscape, grapples with challenges that hinder its competitiveness among Conference USA venues

Really, if you can't name the conference that the school is in, how can I trust you to know all about their stadium and fanbase?

Oh it was awful. I skimmed it, noticed the author repeating the same things about a variety of stadiums in the exact same way.

I agree that Legion Field was BAD. My wife said they did not even have toilet paper in the ladies toilets. That said the Papa John's Bowl began a nice run for UC.

The Rubber Bowl sucked but we won as I recall.

Both have been demolished.
