I don't think our stadium itself belongs on the list, especially when you compare it to the others--it seems superior in many ways (except bathrooms, although the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, listed #7 here, gives it a run for its money there). Overall the stadium is a thing of beauty, remarkable sight lines engineering and now the EZF helps it not look so bleak. The team on the field...not so much, and I guess that's why we get the majority of our football publicity from lists like this:


Fumbled Fields: The Worst Stadiums in College Football

These venues earn penalties for giving fans a poor experience.

8. Rice University: Rice Stadium


Of course they don't show the side of HRS with the brand new EZF on it.

Quote:Houston

The Rice Owls play in a 47,000 seat stadium — which is often half empty. That makes for a game day experience that isn't great.

The stadium dates back to 1950, and its upper bowl in particular has been poorly maintained. Fans say upgrading is long overdue.

Says one, reviewing on Google: "A good place to watch a football game, but definitely lacking the amenities we've all come to expect in modern stadiums." Another calls Rice Stadium a "throwback to the '60s."
