ALL THINGS CONSIDERED:which stadium is better?

[SDHornet]

Largest regular season victories by a I-AA team over the Griz since 1999:


Weber State: 17 points, 10/4/08
Sac State: 14 points, 9/24/11
EWU: 14 points, 10/15/05
SHSU: 12 points, 9/18/04

Yeah. I'll take 21 all day long. Griz haven't been beaten by more than 20 since the debacle in the playoffs against Western Illinois with what was arguably the worst Griz team in the past 20 years.

A late UM garbage time TD against our 4th stringers made it 14, otherwise it would have been 21.

[ODUsmitty]

The MaxiPad was never a good sign for positive things to come in my immediate future.

And the % attendence makes it easy to vote for a full, non-menstruating option vs a bloated and bitchy one.

SDSU gets my vote.

[ewudood]

The attendance numbers need an update... Roos averaged 105% capacity (without Montana visiting) last year and I think the demand for season tickets is just as strong as last year.

Oh, so those points don't count?

[AZGrizFan]

Hell no. I feel bad for the griz but not that bad. I was just remembering another prediction that BF made once that was part of an even bigger prediction.

By my calculation, EWU should beat UM by between 10-17 points this year. I took an NZT-48 pill to come to this conclusion. So you can BANK IT!

So how many points are you giving?

[polsongrizz]

Both places suck, but at least one of them has a green field, easy choice.

Thank God we did score those points. Explaining a 14 point loss to CSUS to the rest of the field was hard enough come playoff time

Jackrabbits over the Red Yawn

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Who cares. Eagles win on the field, that's all that matters.

All streaks come to an end eventually.

Guess I'm in the minority, but I like Roos Field.

[EWURanger]

Roos Field sucks at the moment, but it sucks less than it used to. And in a couple weeks it will suck even less.

I'm less emotional about it now since I know 2-3 years from now once the Gateway is completed its going to be a kick-ass venue we can actually be proud of.

In the short-term, though, I'll be happy with a new jumbo-tron and kicking Montana's asses this year!

Well...at least you get the jumbo-tron.

The red turf is awful. Hard to tell much else. But if you're going to show pictures like that and one stadium has that awful red turf the other stadium wins.

+100 The red field (I can't bring myself to say turf) is hideous.

I knew this would garner a post from Butthurt Brock. Mission accomplished.

[BlackFalkin]

BE HONEST WITH YOURSELVES! Deep down you know you wish you were cool enough to pull this off.

See, we can go in circles here for infinity!

Don't drag Trip's good name into this.

Some aspects of Roos look nicer/newer, and I'm glad they have more upgrades coming, but ...the track...the red field...can't vote for that when it's fairly close otherwise.

I haven't been there in person to watch a game on the red field, but to me it seems like it's hard to watch on tv, and video/photos come out bad on it. Any chance that when it comes time to replace it they'll go to a more traditional color, like...I don't know, say - green?

[Grizo406]

I've yet to see a red football field, or an Oregon uniform that I don't like!

Again, great job EWU & Nike!!

[FargoBison]

Honestly I hate both playing surfaces. EWU's is just hideous to look at and SDSU plays on a pasture, it might be the worst playing surface in the entire FCS. They claim it gives them an advantage and sometimes that probably is the case. I guess I can't fault them too much since NDSU had the same deal going on with our painted concrete turf.

SDSU probably has a better atmosphere/gameday environment so I'll give them my vote. That said if I was player I doubt I would want to play on what SDSU calls a football field after Halloween.

I can see how your opinion would be negatively biased, since the EWU/NDSU game was during break with all the students gone, and the obvious, of course.
