Stadium Review

Postby MustangStealth » Wed Nov 13, 2013 4:11 pm

Ivan Maisel has a rundown of the 90+ college stadiums he has been to as a reporter/fan.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/9969583/ivan-maisel-remembers-favorite-memories-more-90-fbs-stadiums

Gerald J. Ford Stadium, SMU

First Game I Saw: (2005) Baylor 28, SMU 23

The story was not the Mustangs' season opener but who attended -- the Tulane football team, which bivouacked to Dallas after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans several days before.

Best Game I Saw: Same

The Thing About Ford: After the death penalty, SMU downsized and renovated its stadium. It's a lovely 32,000-seat stadium. All it needs is 32,000 people on Saturdays.

You're right. What we really need is a giant slide off the top of the stadium to make it easier for you to get out so you can go to TCU games.

A fair review, I think.

Despite the parking problems and traffic coming off central, a beautiful venue...just not enough fans but on a positive note the ability to move around the stadium and view the game from different angles and being able to stretch out/lay down and take a nap on official reviews, timeouts and between quarters on a beautiful fall day is priceless. and then on to ozonas or campisis
