The games you are going to thread got me thinking: what stadiums have you seen a game in, and what was your impression (in 10 words or less)?
1) Camp Randall: loud, fun, students border on obnoxious.
2) Stanford: (a) old: cavernous and sparsely populated; (b) new: nice atmosphere for fans of opposing teams.
3) San Jose State: small.
4) Cal: Pac-whatever football is not Big Ten football, but a decent effort.
5) Rose Bowl: home game for Wisconsin. Amazing atmosphere and tradition.
6) Fresno State: small, but enthusiastic.
7) UNLV: Power 5 programs should never lose to non-power 5 programs.
8) Air Force Academy: cool spot next to the mountains.
9) UTEP: decent backdrop in the high desert, mediocre football (see UNLV).
10) Metrodome (UMN): stale, aging badly, weird (this was 1993).
11) Notre Dame: (a) old: classic, smallish, fired up, but friendly; (b) new: still classic, a little corporate, still fired up, still friendly.
12) Ohio State: cool facade, great atmosphere and tradition, steep.
13) Penn State: Giant; architecturally basic, rabid fans. (Was fun shutting them up.)
