Lots of tractor maintenance and meth cooking degrees being handed out in Cheney…..

If it offers a degree in motel management, it can market itself as the Cornell of the Big Sky.

I assume the giant spark plug in the background is the Meth Department?

That looks like one electric atmosphere.

SuperHornet wrote: ↑Wed Dec 01, 2021 10:38 am I think we should examine the definition of "Mecca." Per dictionary.com, definition #2 (lowercase) says "any place that many people visit or hope to visit." That's pretty vague. Should it be, as Herder says, "Missoula is FCS at its peak (no pun intended), home to the Montana Grizzlies, a big-time stadium, a beautiful setting, great facilities, a downtown near campus that embraces the university with logos and memorabilia everywhere, and a fan base that cares and supports its team deeply"? Or should it be a place like EWU where there's a clear unique draw (namely the field, aptly nicknamed by one FCS wag on this board "the used maxipad?" Or maybe a place like Delaware or Harvard/Princeton with a super-old stadium with lots of character (like going to Soldier Field in Chicago or Lambeau Field in Green Bay)? And, oddly, the older FCS stadia like Delaware and the Ivies seem to have the most capacity. (Delaware at c. 20K, Harvard at c. 30K, and Yale at currently 61K, though it was as high as 70K in the past.)

SH's non-homer list (and I disqualify Hornet Stadium for many structural reasons as have been discussed ad nauseam on Hornet Sports):

For current team success: Montana and NDSU (Although I think that by playing in a dome, NDSU loses a LOT of home field advantage as determined by the elements. Of course, I've never been there, and NDSU fans and those who have gone there as road fans may beg to differ; I will, of course, cede to them.)

For stadium uniqueness: EWU (the "maxipad" effect")

For character: Harvard Stadium

Please feel free to chime in with your views. You may even have other categories. I'd love to hear those. And for those I've named, I'd love to visit one of these days. Travel costs are SO hard, though....

Actual footage, 5:00 minutes to kickoff before UD’s last home game…
