Stadium Pics

ODU's stadium is really nice looking.

Thanks. Here is another aerial from a different angle.

How come there are a bunch of empty parking spots on the right?

I have the same question. Those are preemo spots.

My guess is they probably needed free space for fan ingress and egress. A bunch of cars in the way could create a safety issue.

That is a good question, why the top of the closest lot to the field is not full. What's happening is ODU only gives out just enough passes as parking spots with the season tixs. But the big donors who get this lot, also get another pass for the tailgate lot across the street and they aren't parking were you can't tailgate. Some are giving tickets away but not the parking passes. ODU needs to better figure out the parking. With all the season tixs, they couldn't take special request for parking. Its one of the things to work on for next year. I have two groups from the parking garage tailgating with me in the cheap lot (Light Blue).

There are two entrances (one being student) on that side to get in, and a lot of people use them. Concessions are also set up in that area (they're barely visible but it's all that white under the trees to the right edge of that parking lot. The white things at the top of that are the porta-potties...so safety is probably my guess. If you look all the way to the left of the picture, you also notice another empty parking lot on that side too. More concessions and porta-potties are set up there. Just consider those lots parts of the stadium, 'cause you can't get in there without a ticket either. Anyways, it gives us a nice area to talk and hang out 30 minutes before the game, as well as half-time.

Also, I'm not sure about the lot on the left, but the one on the right is open during school days.

So how about a re-vote to include Foreman Field in the judging?
No Track
Enclosed
Sweet Suites (26 total and brand spanking new)
19,782 capacity (not including free views from the parking garage)

After playing our first two games at home, we have to play at a truly crappy Jacksonville field (can't classify it as a stadium), and we're 22 point underdogs at that. (By the way, bet the ranch on Old Dominion with those points).

Those spots are actually inside of a gated area. During halftime that is where the 20K people linger waiting in line to visit the many concession stands that are on the perimeter of the gate, waiting in line to use the porta potties, and just hanging out to discuss the game and meet with friends. Imagine all the people in the stand and where would they go during halftime if there were cars parked in those spots? Although those spots are not used there is plenty of parking on campus.

We have refurbished restrooms under the stands that are fine. The school did not want to take any chances and added portable units to ensure there was no long wait. They will evaluate the further need of them after the season. It's a "fan first" way of thinking.

Delaware Stadium has created a bit of a new look by adding larger than life posters of former stars by the the stadium entrance.

The posters pictured below are of Rich Gannon, Darryl Brown, Eddie Conti and Joe Flacco.

Some Montana fans might remember Darryl Brown.

[Achilles Return]

This might be the bias, but I'm quite fond of Paulson Stadium.

[CAA Flagship]

Nothing wrong with that. Looks nice.
But there is nothing like fans on all 4 sides of the field.

GSU's stadium looks very "flat". Looks like it would be tough to get very loud.

That is the only flaw of Michigan Stadium

not anymore... the addition of the stacks on both sides of the big house is holding more sound - it was palpable during the ND game, so much louder than before - which is great for the maize and blue
