I would be displeased if I were an SDSU fan too.

I enjoyed Chattanooga more than I enjoyed Frisco in person. Plus, Chatty is a bit closer to the geographic center of FCS.

That chili cook-off they did before the game in Chatty was terrific. Warmed you up while eating it, and then again each time you broke wind on your seat. Pure genius.

My only trip was to Chatty and I had a great time... and that's with the Hens losing, so I think that speaks volumes.

Yeah, same here. Had a blast in '07 in Chatty. App fans were generous with libations in the parking lot.

Aren't they planning on renovating Toyota Stadium? I thought I heard that there were plans on expansion and the like?

Was in Chatty in '09.

All 8 Nova fans in attendance were faggots. Well, except WideRight. He was alright.

Aren't you afraid of airplanes? Did you walk to NYC? I wasn't aware of any creek beds in Central Park where you could "camp".

Probably. I’ve flown to Orlando and back twice. Down to Mexico and back twice. And then football road trips to Boston twice, Maine and Buffalo. One more to Melbourne Fl too.

Anyway, the hobos in Central Park were surprisingly nice, and didn't care where I slung my hammock. :thumb:

Alright, alright. We'll let you play your games in WaGriz. Might as well let someone take advantage of the loud and cold. You can thank us later.

I really enjoyed Chattanooga, and have heard good things about Frisco (other than the stadium). If a new host city is needed, how about Charleston?

I have been to both and I don't see the problem. Not that I want to spend any of my $$$$$ in texas, but it is a whole f u c k load easier to get to.
Small? The place place holds 21000, nothing wrong with the stadium at all. In fact it holds 2000 more fans then the fargo dome does.

Of course, we'd have to get it back up to what it was back in the heyday when UOP played bowl games there. We took out too many seats and removing the trees from the west end zone totally ruined the place for graduations. We now have to rent the Spanos Center at UOP.

On the bright side, Lodi Union High School West Campus now owns the Grape Bowl free and clear for the first time since 1971 now that bogus Tokay High is upgrading their on-campus stadium....

It was something like two or three, Polson. And, no, the NCAA doesn't recognize them, which enabled UOP one year to be the only school I've ever heard of to play TWO bowls in one season, the other being a New Year's Day game in Texas.

Used to have a capacity listed at 20.5k 2015 NDSU/JSU had a record crowd of 21,836. Since the renovation with the soccer HOF in one endzone capacity now is 18k. NDSU/JMU was 1k SRO tickets sold and the attendance was 19,090 overflow sellout. (I incorrectly said 19,900 on the game thread because that‘s what I thought in my buzzed state at the game). NDSU/JMU could have easily filled a 30k stadium.

-The video boards are way too small.

-The scoreboards in each corner were too small and both were partly obscured from where I was sitting. I know that was the case with others as well.

-The lines for beer were way too long.

Bottom line is the game shouldn’t be held in a soccer stadium.
