Stadium Reviews

New Orleans is the ultimate party city, and Saints game days are no exception – the celebration starts long before kickoff.

In addition to new/replacement teams, the UFL also announced updated team names and new venues for two of its legacy teams.

Compared to similarly-sized venues, Melvin and Dollie Younts Stadium offers a great atmosphere on gameday.

It was on the shoulders of Pro Football Hall of Famers Marion Motley, Deacon Jones, Donnie Shell, and Harry Carson that much of the legacy of South Carolina State football was built.

Game day in Murfreesboro kicks off in Walnut Grove with the Blue Raider “Party in the Grove” – this center of tailgating comes alive about three hours before kickoff.

The atmosphere at Benedictine University Eagles games is okay; nothing stands out especially, but they do play fun music, and the PA announcer is a lot of fun.

These days, many things that are simply “old” are designated as “historic.” In the case of Harvard Stadium, while the facility is certainly the former, it is definitely the latter. A visit to the banks of the Charles River should be on the bucket list for any serious college football fan.

Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium serves as the temporary home for Northwestern Wildcats football while their old stadium is being rebuilt, and as temporary homes go, this facility is actually pretty amazing.

The game day atmosphere begins in the grassy tailgating fields beyond the outfield fence of Elton Pollak Field, where fans fire up grills, watch early games, and play cornhole or participate in any of the other tailgating staples.

Everybody loves Pirates, especially East Carolina football fans, and that love translates into a great game day experience at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, NC.

The fans win the day at Bobcat Stadium, making the atmosphere what it is.

Spoiler alert – big things are happening in the Rio Grande Valley; since 2022, the football-crazed denizens of the valley have been waiting with bated breath for the arrival on the field of the new UTRGV Vaqueros.

With a picturesque view of downtown Houston in the distance, and overlooking both the HCU soccer and baseball fields, Husky Stadium is a wonderful stadium in the Football Championship Subdivision.

John L. Guidry Stadium has a solid atmosphere for football – there is a good crowd on hand, and they offer several amenities to create a pleasant time for fans.

The one true draw in terms of atmosphere at American Bank Center is its location; I would hazard that very few venues in North America allow visitors to gaze out onto palm tree-lined beaches and rolling waves.

News broke on Monday, April 7th that the Sam Houston State Bearkats will play their entire home slate of football games away from home this season.

Football can arguably be compared to an organized religion in the state of Texas.

Super Bowl LIX Week has come and gone, and New Orleans showed out in a major way for its record tying 11th Super Bowl to host.

With its emphasis on celebrating first responders, the First Responder Bowl’s mission is evident from the coin toss to the final whistle.

The Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl is one of the earliest college football bowl games of the post-season.
