Quote:12. Rice Stadium- Houston, TX (Rice)

Positives: Rice Stadium has tremendous history. The 69-year-old stadium was the original host to the Houston Oliers, Super Bowl VIII and even former president John F. Kennedy in 1962.

Fast forward to today and the biggest thing the stadium has going for it is that it’s an on-campus facility. The seats lie close to the field, unlike other stadiums near its size (47,000) and there are plans to try and bring the aging building up-to-par with its newer counterparts.

Negatives: 47,000 seats are just way too much than the Owls need on a week-to-week basis. In the near future, that will need to be addressed and is something that is being talked about. Renovations to various spectator areas and the press box are in order as well.

Fan Perspective: Because of the lack of crowds, fans can get down close to the action and it’s a great seat no matter where you sit.

However, a myriad of things need to be addressed. Starting with the premium seating areas (or lack thereof), restrooms, and widening the concourses.
