Football Sidelines Poll

centurylink field hosts the Huskies now. It was briefly, the loudest stadium.

franklin field is a nice, old, classic. it`s what i call a no bullshit field. wins the gentleman category.

the astrodome is also a classic. not sure who still plays there. But right next door at Reliant Stadium Houston plays.

Georgia Dome (Georgia St.), Gillette Stadium (Mass), Lincoln Financial field (Temple), LP Field (Tennessee St.), Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego St.) - you should really see this one, more people show up for the college team practice than show up for Chargers games.; Superdome (Tulane).

[muy_thaiguy]

Qualcomm? That place is an aging dinosaur. And if ever the Chargers move, that place will be torn down. And that's from SDSU fans who can barely put 20,000 people in that monstrosity.

IIRC - I'll move these down to the nomination category if I'm wrong - both Washington and Tulane are back on campus now?

franklin field Georgia Dome (Georgia St.), LP Field (Tennessee St.)

REJECTED - SCHOOLS OF THE DIVISION FORMERLY KNOWN AS D1A ONLY

sheer size without though or consideration for anything else

I heard that's what girls prefer.

Anyway, the current nominations for stadium are:

- Michigan Stadium (Serbia)
- Falcon Stadium (muy_thaiguy)
- Memorial Stadium (muy_thaiguy)
- Gillette Stadium (DoomYoshi)
- Lincoln Financial Field (DoomYoshi)
- Qualcomm Stadium (DoomYoshi)

As an aging dinosaur, I take offense to that.

I know at least 100 or so die hard SDSU Aztec fans that would be offended with Qualcom being nominated for that list.

People who live in San Diego don't realize how lucky they are. When was the last time that it rained at one of their home games? In the land of the short thermometer, there is a land of milk and honey. It is called San Diego. if I was allowed in the US, I would probably live in San Diego, since I already did the whole Venice thing, and San Fran is colder than my hometown in Canada.

A couple of years ago, the Wyoming-SDSU game was nearly canceled due to the field being more of a lake than a football field, FYI.

I distinctly remember Sea World being shut down due to flooding.

Yep. Same year. They literally had to drain the field in order to play on it.
