Probably a push, really. SDSU's seating area opposite press box side looks a little larger, while the press box/media suites at Roos look a hell of a lot nicer/newer/bigger than SDSU's.
Caughlin. The only thing Roos has over it is not having shitty ass grass, but the fact that the turf is red at Roos drops it below the shitty ass grass.
The atmosphere at CAS is pretty damn good too. Probably top 3 or 4 in the league with NDSU, UNI, and sometimes SIU

To be fair, Villanova's and Richmond's weren't much better...

SDSU's field is a pasture and EWU's is red. Agreed about the push, both suck.
No track point for SDSU
Atmosphere point for SDSU
3-2 Coughlin over the Red turf
Those are valid points.
How the fuck does NDSU get a point for Atmosphere & EWU doesnt? When EWU's main rival comes to town ROOS FIELD is electric. WTF are you blind? Check that #1 gameday/atmosphere sig MR. Magoo

Probably because they have a crowd beyond a rivalry game.

THIS IS ABOUT STADIUMS, NOT ATTENDANCE.

They both look like high school stadiums. If you are going to show Richmond's stadium at least show the right one. It is small, about 8,700 seats, but it all the amenities of a collegiate stadium.
Unlike some of you, I haven't been to both stadium's so I won't comment on which atmoshpere is better. That being said I've been to many decent restaurants where the atmosphere is top notch and the food underwhelming. I'd much prefer the greasy spoon that delivers the grub.
If you took a poll of cs.com members and asked if travel time and expenses were no object which stadium would you rather watch a game in - I'm guessing a majority would pick Roos.
Perhaps it's because that red turf is growing on me like a debilitating plague that's clouding my judgment, but SDSU's field looks like any other slightly larger high school-ish stadium. I wouldn't have known it was SDSU's unless someone told me.

SDSU has a great band, they have a solid tailgating scene and the stadium can rock when their rival comes to town. Their stadium is high schoolish but they do a good job on gameday.
