[1983 Cotton Bowl]

That stadium looks very nice.

Which one feels like a big time BCS-level stadium?

Not knocking them at all as I like TCU, but I just don't see either school drawing 60,000 fans regularly.

[ReedFrawg]

IMHO its the press box that doesn't look very nice. Drab and gray...

Adding to that...which one of us has the indoor practice facility?

Good luck filling it up!! Yes, it is nice, but I'm not wild about it. At first, I felt like I was in a hotel lobby or maybe a really nice airport lounge.....didn't seem very collegiate to me at all.

Is that a game against Tech?

[NickSMU17]

How about...

Most beautiful campus on earth


Or Homewood suites Ft. Worthless

a side-effect:

"Armed Forces Bowl relocates to SMU:
Renovations to TCU's football stadium will shift the 2010 Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl from Fort Worth to Dallas for at least one year, a source said Monday."

It's weird — I'm sure we're coming up on an SMU season that starts with a nationally televised game and hoping to build on a world-class butt-whipping in a bowl game, and it seems like people are spending three pages talking about what might become of a stadium that houses a team we hate at a school we hate in a town that always will be known as "that town 30 miles from Dallas."

WTF?

Both have 100yd fields w/ end zones and goal posts
Both have aluminum bleacher seats
Both have boxes/ VIP areas
One seats 40k and the other 35k
One is in FW and one in Dallas
One is 80 years old and the other current

Nothing uniquely special.

Nothing, unless you are comparing a diminutive tinker toy aluminum

bleacher stadium surrounded by a brick facade with a magnificent

edifice of this magnitude...http://www.stadium.tcu.edu/gallery.asp

Is it more impressive because it's taller?

It's nice, but GJF is no doorknob, either.
