You are a BCS quality recruit. You takes visits to SMU and TCU. You walk on to the field here:

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.

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

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.

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?
Plagiarize!
Let no one else's work evade your eyes.

So don't shade your eyes, just
Plagiarize, plagiarize, plagiarize!

(Only be sure always to call it, please .... "research.")

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 :wink:

Is it more impressive because it's taller?

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