Louisville looks interesting.
Also Tampa, just b/c of the pirate ship.

San Diego Chargers.

It's also one of the worst stadiums I have ever been to.


Its a nice pic, I guess, but so kind the NFL team lets them use their stadium when Cowboys dont even recognize us.

Yep, they have a good working relationship but there's been a huge push to build an on campus stadium but ... the money isn't there.

Sdsu/Qualcomm is a dump, but you can take the train there from downtown so it's a great trip.

Looking forward to Rutgers/Cincy/Louisville

Guess we will never know how the RnS would fare on the east coast during the winter time.

That is probably a good thing.

The mirror image is what we want the experience to be for visiting FB fans. Beyond SMU student participation and a full stadium, what else can we do? Hopefully, we can revisit Ford Stadium expansion by necessity. 8)

Didn't the Bengals play in that stadium early on?

True, in city that is one of the prettiest in the country, the stadium is a major eye sore and an embarrassment. There is a reason the Chargers are making noises about moving or build a new one.

I want to say that Rutgers is sold out every game. at least it was a few years ago when my daughter was considering going there. students had to camp out for tickets.
the campus itself is not attractive but it is close to NYC, Philly, Atlantic City. lots of other stuff to do.

I suspect when the basketball team (and others) comes up here they will take on a few schools on one trip. many of these BE schools are 1 -2 hours apart.

Been to Qualcomm many times - good location and easy access with the train.

Is it just me or is it odd to have SAN DIEGO State in the Big EAST? I've never been a big fan of us joining the Big East but I'll take it (money, AQ, etc etc).

SDSU is EAST of UNev-RENO, HAWAI'I, FRESNO, SJSU, and 7 (a majority of) PAC12 schools (USC/UCLA/UC/STAN/UW/OSU/UO)

That's 10% of all DIV-1a (12/~120).

Therefore, SDSU is relatively acceptable as an EASTERN school.
:lol:
(PITTSBURG is in a state without a coast, much less on the Atlantic Coast, Missouri is not a Southeastern school, aTm is in a SWESTERN state, FSU is on/closest to the GULF COAST, not the ATLANTIC

I Love the fact that sdsu is in our conference. San Diego is one of my favorite cities.

Yes, I am VERY happy SDSU joined as I can drive to those games (now live near Santa Barbara) and I used to live in SD (Carlsbad) so I know it well. Just funny how directional names in the conferences don't mean anything anymore.
