Moonlight Basin has had finacial problems, so i think that would be a reason why Big Sky doesnt want to be associated with them, needless to say both have great terrain!
Both Big Sky and Moonlight have been in bankruptcy off and on. You can buy a pass for both for a day or for the year, but it is not cheap. And like I said, MSU stadium is looking great, but I don't think anyone in Bozeman thinks it is the best in the state much less in the FCS.
Either way, you guys are definitely headed in the right direction. Stuff like this stadium expansion only helps improve the rivalry.
Honestly, Montana's stadium looks like it was just random stadium parts thrown together to me. Especially the corner pieces. Still a great stadium, but I don't think it's the best anymore.

It was built in sections over the years. Here's what it looked like in 1986:

The "best" thing about Montana isn't necessarily the "look", it's the feeling of being right on top of the action because there's no god-awful TRACK between the fans and the field. And being fully enclosed makes the noise level reach epic proportions.
And it's cold. But then again, ASU knows that, don't they?

Truce griz...not sure how, but when in our stadium, the size difference between the east and west is not all that pronounced. Looking forward to hearing away fans comment on Bridgeforth after seeing Bridgeforth. Pictures just don't do it justice.

We feel the same way about ours.
True 'dat!
As far as pictures not doing a stadium justice, what surprises me the most about people seeing Washington/Grizzly Stadium for the first time, is that no one mentions how small it seems to be "in person"!
Sure, we can get 25k + in "The Mecca", but every time I set foot inside, or on that holy; venerated; sacred, and hollowed ground, I can't help but think; "Damn, it looks sooo much bigger in the pics!"
It's not about being nicer it about being better. One thing that makes Washington Grizzly Stadium so great is that the field sit below ground level, so the noise is so loud and the fans are right on top of the field. They built it that way because originally they were going to expand and put a dome on the top of it. Thank God they didn't.

You can't compare the fanbases of the two schools, although when Princeton has good teams they average 15k or so. The Cornell-Princeton game featured two 2-4 teams going nowhere so obviously the enviroment is less than stellar. I would love to see Princeton Stadium for a big game. I have to believe it would be very loud given the combination of a below ground field, upper decks and the exterior wall.
