Memorial Stadium in Lincoln isn't nearly as loud as it was in the 80s

Much more wine & cheese corporate types and fewer blue collar real fans.

real fans can't afford tickets these daze

there was no chance at verbal audibles or snap count back in the 80s

none of today's stadiums are as loud as they once were

I think Sanford is a lot louder today than it was a few decades back.  And the recent run has made it louder of course.

I agree with that.

Camp Randall used to be deafening. Now the blue hairs sit and clap politely.

That's interesting... Especially with the financial issues and some corresponding unrest about half a decade ago. I wouldn't have assumed it tops the list.

I've dined at four of these, thought they were "OK", probably better than McDs.  I'd throw Chick Fil A in there because of their service, and their sandwish is fine enough.  To me, this is akin to "tallest midget" contest, but whatever.  Give me a Whopper and I'm OK.

Absolutely true, so I'll provide another listing for comparison.

Best Fast Food Restaurants in America (fodors.com)

The fact they list White Castle at 10th is .... somewhat of a sign I think.

The 30 Best Burgers You Can Find In America (housecultures.com)

They include Fox Bros. on the list.  While their burger does include Q, anyone ordering it should be filandered.

This is the burger chain I couldn't think of, I used to take my kids there fairly often.  We'd get whatever pretty cheaply and eat on benches there if the weather was nice, or go into the park and dine there.

I thought the burgers were "OK" and quite a bit cheaper than anywhere else.  Maybe they use mystery meat.
