Stadiums are a pet peeve of mine.
To answer op:
- Autzen (Oregon)
- Boone Pickens Stadium (Oklahoma State)
- Washington's new stadium seems good
- Baylor's new stadium seems good
- Doak Campbell (Florida State)
Kenan (UNC) is really underrated. If it didn't vanish among the tall pines so it looked imposing and could be appreciated in full it would be better.
To me a good stadium needs to have the fans be right on top of the field ... be designed to be loud ... have no obstructed views ... and be architecturally beautiful. A huge number of stadiums have been endlessly bolted onto over the years and it shows in their hideous jauntiness when viewed as a whole. If your stadium has a horseshoe or stands that have a "wedge" or non-complete endzone ... you have done it wrong. Iowa, Ohio State, Boise State, Florida, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Penn State, South Carolina ... all good examples of this.
Sadly, due to the razing of the original horseshoe, haphazard adding of the Edge Center, and blatantly rushed and ugly expansion to appease O'Leary in 2000 ... Bobby Dodd Stadium does not meet the visual standards of such a historic place as it is. It is still America's oldest and winningest Division I football stadium.
I would propose the following ... turning BDS into Autzen-east.
Now:
My Humble Proposal:
The stands would rise quickly. There is no place for the noise to go. Add overhead lighting/shade/noise retention awning(s) for bonus points. A modern day revisit of the classic horseshoe it once was. A place befitting the history, heritage, and legend of the location.
