What's funny is, they took a picture of one of our better attended games...
Middle Tennessee State – Johnny “Red” Floyd Stadium
We can’t quite work out who thought it would be a good idea to expand the stadium of a team who couldn’t fill their previous one to capacity. They play awfully, the stadium is awful, it’s just a shambles.

Apparently, lack of attendance makes your stadium weird.

Is your stadium really in shambles? Always looked good to me in pictures.

This article is trash, imo. Pure click bait. They couldn't come up with a good critique if they tried. Sounds like they're just looking to piss people off.

ODU has a really nice stadium in Foreman Field, and they sell out every game.

I was thinking he'd just never been to a college football game.

Just another meaningless list someone was paid to write, hope they didn't pay them too much. It stretches the limits of subjectivity.

I like how they used pictures of stadiums on non game days to make their point.

How did you come to that conclusion?
Nevermind I believe it was written by a woman, "Bex" sounds like a woman's name to me anyhow.

No.
Also she wasn't saying the stadium is in shambles, she was describing the program, not the stadium. It's the more archaic usage of the word, but it is grammatically correct, even if it sounds a bit odd.
That combined with her comment about "proper bleachers" in reference to the grass bern at one stadium(believe she used "proper" a few more times) led me to believe the author may be British.
The criticism seemed almost personal, there are many teams on this list with worse attendance, worse stadiums and worse W/L records than us who were not described nearly as harshly.

Definitely British. The article said "pitch" to refer to the field
