I dare you to find an FBS stadium that's a twin of Albany's University Field.
Unless you're prepared to define UF as 'not really an FCS stadium'

All the money went to the Lacrosse field. Ask any Dane and they will tell you Stonybrook got the state $$$$ and the stadium.

Nevada-Reno's looks like Appalachian's, not EWU.

You don't have to tell me that. This fall will mark the 40th year I've been sitting on the same wooden planks bolted to the gym steps. But they're on the 45-yard line.

somewhat similar to the Metrodome in Mpls (without the upper level and the endzone seating).
though the U of M no longer plays their games there.

Appalachian State University - Kidd Brewer Stadium
Groves Stadium (or whatever they call it now
) - Wake Forest

Lafayette's stadium has always reminded me of Rutgers. The "striped" turf and the red bleachers and seats mostly create the similarity.

No crap.
Still looks the most similar of any in the thread, imo.
And I'm not sure what WSSU's has anything to do with this.
Elon fans......

Maybe I'm biased but I like the Navy look better than the Azure.

Does Harvard Stadium have a twin? A 107-year-old brick horseshoe with a colonnade at the top? Anyone?

I highly doubt that there is a FBS twin of Caughlin Alumni Stadium for SDSU (risking smart ass comments/pictures from the Bison crowd)

Ohio State has an old Horsehoe stadium. Not the same, but probably the closest.
Yale's twin would be UCLA' s home field of the Rose Bowl.

I cannot imagine there is a twin for old UR Stadium, as it was a funny combination of a large regular stand with a strange curved smaller stand on the other side..
Now Robins Stadium looks more like a smaller version of Kidd Brewer, track and all.
