I've been there three times and none of the times did I find anything "festive" about it. It really felt like a low level HS game.

What 89 said.

Even a Georgetown/Maryland lacrosse game I went to on a beautiful saturday afternoon didn't feel 'festive', and this was a pretty hyped up game between two top ten teams at the time.

real football fans don't complain about sunburns.
(haha, kidding. I'm just imitating those that are totally anti-dome. If you're anti-dome, you should be anti-shade too.)

1936 as a matter of fact.

MN, you were at the ODU @ JU game, right? Was it really as bad the pics? Atmosphere any good?

rice totten stadium, the east side was condemned this year

My vote is for Jacksonville's Milne Field:

oh poor Jacksonville They can't field much better then a club team can they? This gets my vote.

Actually I'd put JU in the Top 30-40 teams in the country this year. Amazing considering what they're working with.

Wow! That is amazing!

30 might be on the high end...maybe 40-50. Definitely the top half, but you get the point.

They've got a great HC that won't be there very long I don't think.

so georgetown's 2,500 capacity is not the smalllest?


is the one with grass stands honestly a real FCS stadium?

I have to say Nicholls is the worst one I've been to. Got stuck in the elevator in the press box twice the one time I visited. UC-Davis stadium back in 04(might have the date wrong on that) was pretty bad but I think they were just using it until they built their new one.

I thought at ten thousand Memorial stadium was small lol

Never been there, or even seen pictures, but I hear Montana's stadium is a first class sewage bin.

So which is the home side? The one with eight long rows or the one with four short rows and a pressbox?

Visitor's side is the "Press Box" side (notice ODU fans in background):


Also, JU might be the only school in the country where you can bring tents into the "stands:"

I nominate dude on left for FCS Fan of the Year!

He's rocking the Chucks and a Beatles T. And is that a softball and a ping pong paddle he's holding?


WTF, over?

He did bring a girlfriend at least. Oh wait, that might be his sister, now I'm confused.

It's like a helmet shaped sign (kinda like a paddle). There were others where I got the pic from that are more clear.

I'd thought that Parsons Field had long retired this trophy, but since Northeastern dropped football..

The Butler Bowl has been undergoing renovations, so you're no longer limited to the odd off-center bleachers (from the 20 to the end zone)


and I've never been there, but I'm told Duquesne's Rooney Field rivals Georgetown's

They had more stuff going on than at a county fair, and most of the people were gathered around things like the bounce house and the Bar Be Que stands that were placed in the shade of the tree line you see in the end zone. The stands are in direct sunlight, and there is almost no elevation on the visitor's side. Not to mention that it was so hot I thought the program was going to ignite. I think the only people who actually watched the whole game was us ODU folks.

That being said, the Jacksonville folks were nice to us, both before and after the game. But as a frienzied college game day atmosphere it just didn't have it.

FWIW, we didn't prepare for the Hens game properly last weekend and Mrs89 got the worst sunburn I've ever seen her get. You assume, October, no problem.
