I'm surprised we didn't make it on the list simply for having that tiny piece of ****.

if you take a step back and notice JTS has some really unique features the hill side is very different from other stadiums, we have two video boards and a great sound system.

something is wrong with me today im in a positive mood.

it is really not that bad

Its funny because before I looked at the list I guessed that Baylor would be on it but wouldnt have thought that KU would be on it but....


Thats what you get when you have a football stadium built for a basketball school like Kansas.


I'm just thankful that this is one list we DID NOT MAKE.

The hill side isn't something to brag about.

So how would you rank the Big 12? ISU is doing a lot better stadium wise right now.

1. Texas
2. Oklahoma
3. A&M
4. Oklahoma State
5. Missouri
6. Texas Tech
7. Iowa State
8. Kansas State
9. Baylor
10. Kansas

I think if we could get the south end zone done it would be a toss up between us and the three schools above us.

I guess we can make comments on how we aren't there... But overall this guys list sucks, no idea what he was talking about...

He's right about Ryan Field (Northwestern), it sucks. But I doubt they gave a **** when they were winning B10 titles in the '90's.

We might already be above Texas Tech (they were actually on the list of 10 worst before they got bounced).

I'd move us below K-State otherwise I agree.

With a new football facility and (if someone donates to the south endzone) we would be pretty even with Mizzou, TT.....so middle of the pack.

For now....I would put us below K-State just because we have grass seating...

I don't count the indoor facility/new facility with the "stadium" portion since it isn't attached. I'd also put K-State above us just for having 50,000 seats and not 43,000. Their press box looks sharper than ours and their club section looks sharper. We have more dedicated suite space I think (just from looking at pictures). Our video board is nicer but they get bonus points for having their football facility attached.

fixed

It would take about $200 million before we got near Boone Pickens Stadium territory. There's a pretty big drop off after the first 4 on that list.

I have been to Oklahoma State and Texas before their renovations, so it's a little harder to judge, but I think Oklahoma State looks awesome with their end zone and all those suites.

I'm guessing Texas stadium looks a lot better as well because their end zone seating used to be a longs ways back, I'm guessing it used to have a track around it, and now I believe it's right in the end zone. Oh yeah, and the place is huge.

There is no reason that the Coliseum and Cal's satdium should have made that list I think. The 3 worst are in this order.

1. Duke
2. Washington State
3. Northwestern

When I saw the title I guessed the three above and WF, Baylor, Duke & Cinci as well. The Coliseum and Cal were unexpected. I would imagine if they did a bottom 15 or 20 JTS would be on the list.

Also, isn't there an attendance requirement to be Division I? Seems like I have seen 30k but maybe I'm mistaken.
