And they are all a bunch of UCF fans that voted that way based on whether they like the team and not about the actual stadium... then again it’s not shocking that they go off from the rules stated. Seems to be their pattern for just about everything.

If you go back and read this post in a couple of weeks I bet you will cringe at how whiny it is.

A SECOND vote for Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium?

I don't understand people who want the terrorists to win.

Time to launch some missiles at Memphis and Tulsa.

Regarding the ECU patio question: does the murphy center ot count? I know it's a bit exclusive but still a patio type area.

i have been to all the stadiums listed except temple and ecu

really love the houston stadium (maybe a larger screen over the student section)

tulsa has an ok stadium, easy to park and walk thru the campus, but last time
security would not let my wife bring in her ipad (only stadium to do this) and i had
to carry it back to the car

been to navy twice, a lot of pageantry and traditions, just give me better weather (no rain)
walk over to the academy and do a visit

That's my gripe with it. I looks clean but it looks terrible on TV. Reminds me of watching HS youtube Friday night games. Get some new lighting in that place for television.

Tulsa’s stadium does seat roughly 30K. The problem is the TV cameras face the visitor side which is always more sparse and is just smaller looking.

That 30,000 would be a veeeery rough figure indeed. It appears the East side and the West side are the same size except for the press box.

We've announced 30K several times. Boise State in 09. UCF + New Mexico the year before that. 29k+ against Houston in 2011.

I guess I understand their negativity. Memphis is 0-2 at NMCMS in AAC play (blame the rain) as is Tulsa. But Tulane and SMU are both 0-3 and none of their fans voted against American heroes. Nor did winless-at-NMCMS-in-AAC-play ECU, USF, UConn, or Cincinnati voters.

It's a rental. It's like someone renting a really nice Airbnb and posting photos online saying "Look at my sweet pad!". I guess to be more accurate, it'd also be like posting photos of said Airbnb when the actual house has pictures all over the walls of another family who live there.

You can live in the hood and call it yours or rent a penthouse and laugh at the morons who have a bouncy house.

This post is highly ironic since USF is literally located in the hood. A rundown, total crap part of Tampa.

What happens when you rent a penthouse and no one shows up? It's too bad USF has no fans to watch games at your rented facility with other teams' stuff everywhere.

Tulsa is notorious for inflating "announced" attendance figures and claiming the stadium seats 30,000. No way does that stadium seat anywhere near 30,000.

I have been to Tulsa games that had at most 6,000 or 7,000 fans and they announced 17,000. It happened several times last year.

Will Worth made the line to gain, then forward progress was stopped, then the ball came out.
Also, good no-call on the PI.

I excluded USF and Temple since neither has a stadium of their own so for me it's Tulsa. Small, uninviting, no amenities, not historical, really nothing. Tulsa deserves better.

I'm sure it did happen. That announced attendance is probably tickets sold, which would include season ticket holders that didn't come or ticket packages that were sold to businesses. That doesn't mean that when there's an actual sellout that the stadium doesn't hold 30K. That 30K number is actual a reduction from what it used to seat (35k+) when they took out the bleachers to the North of the field and replaced them with the Case building.

The stadium actually seated as many as 40K+ back in the 80's.... though it was mostly done with temporary bleachers that were rusting out.

Yeah, the closest comparison in size to Tulsa's seems to be SMU at 32k. SMU's feels MUCH larger though, but that could be due to the continues seating in a horseshoe rather than the straight seating with open corners at Tulsa. If they came back and told me it only seats 25k it'd be much more believable. I know it used to sit around 40k but they did some downsizing since then I've heard.

Announced attendance is often tickets distributed. That means free tickets given away, tickets heavily discounted, admitted with a toy, veterans etc., and sometimes it appears to be a figment of someone's imagination or what sounds good.

When Tulsa removed the bleachers in the North end zone it reduced the capacity to 35,000. Several years later, they removed the bleachers on the upper West side, which contained 10,000 seats, per TU.

If your stadium seats 35,000 and you remove 10,000 seats, there is no way you have a 30,000 seat stadium. More like 25,000 seats.
