Stadium Reviews

Six years later, Hancock Whitney Stadium has become much more than just a replacement for Ladd-Peebles. The Jaguars enjoyed a 10-win season in 2022 and followed that with their first bowl victory in 2023, defeating Eastern Michigan 59-10 in the 68 Ventures Bowl on their own home field. Another bowl championship followed in 2024 with a 30-23 victory over Western Michigan in Montgomery.

The Carter, as it is sometimes called, has been home to two claimed football national championships (1935 and 1938), one Heisman Trophy winner in Davey O’Brien, and scores of All-Americans and all-time greats, including Sammy Baugh and LaDainian Tomlinson. The stadium name is in honor of Amon G. Carter, a prominent Fort Worth businessman, newspaper publisher, and city booster in 1930.

It sounds cliche to say they pull out all the stops at North Dakota State football games, but at Fargodome they actually do! The fun begins with tailgating outside; if you park on the west side you’ll literally have to walk through a sea of gold and green tents to get to the venue (more on this later). Then, once you get inside, there are lights and festivities galore.

Robert W. Plaster Stadium underwent some massive renovations as part of the transition, and now boasts new field turf, enhanced concessions, and upgraded LED lighting. The new lighting is even used as part of the game day atmosphere – the lights are strobed and the stadium darkened at key moments in the game, including before kickoff and at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The gameday atmosphere in Lubbock is top notch. The Red Raiders have averaged more than 55.000 fans per game since at least 2015, ranking in the top 30 nationally and consistently playing games at well above 90% capacity. Fans can get loosened up and game ready by visiting one of two tailgating areas.

Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium is in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on the campus of the University of Arkansas. The stadium is on the west side of campus and has been home to the Arkansas Razorbacks football team since 1938. In that timespan the Hogs have played 336 games and won more than 62 percent of those contests.

The desire to bring football back to Tulane's campus eventually produced Yulman Stadium, a $73 million facility that opened against Georgia Tech on September 6, 2014. For the first time since 1974, football was played on the Uptown campus.

A lot has changed around Southern Miss football in the last few years. The move to the Sun Belt Conference in 2022 ended a 27-year run in C-USA and placed Southern Miss in a league filled with regional opponents, familiar names, and shorter road trips. Four years later, the Sun Belt no longer feels new, but change has continued around the program.

Connecticut football games at The Rent are an enjoyable experience. The stadium is nothing spectacular, and the atmosphere can fall flat at times, but what The Rent lacks in character, it makes up for in convenience and practicality. Despite recent success on the field, the potential of a UConn football experience may never be reached unless they move to a venue on campus.

The Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl delivers on every level since its original game in 2001; the bowl is solely a tribute to the armed forces.

The Booth is worth a visit during football stadium and is one of the more lively venues in college football.

Be prepared to chant “Roll Tide” after every Alabama first down and see those patented red and white pom poms waving all around you. And if you’re not a country music fan, you soon will be, as the stadium tunes certainly are the songs of the southland.

The environment created at Faurot Field is vibrant, loud, and full of passion.

Once inside the facility, the history of the stadium shines through, and that’s its selling point.
