1500 seats in the reserved sections. Let’s not pretend folks are fighting each other to watch UNA football.

Despite their lack of success compared to D2, UNA was still 3rd in the UAC and 33rd nationally in attendance last season. Of course, many show up just to watch the band (seriously, but they leave after halftime).

Our own students leave after halftime.....

Pretty sharp looking stadium

You should pin this thread

OK, this should bring some interesting discussions. For once, we have all 128 FCS stadiums ranked in two videos, split between the worst and the best. There are a few that I think he gets right for the most part and ranks them in the right area. Some others, I am not sure where he is really coming from or being consistent. He tries to put them into different categories, which I think messes up his rankings to a large degree. I don't think he was really even consistent with his categories (e.g. stadiums with tracks but doesn't put domes in their own category). I would have preferred either straight rankings or maybe a couple of basic, like maybe by size. Anyway, here are the links to each, then I pulled out the UAC stadiums; ranging from #94 - #16.

I have been to six of the eight (UWF & UWG) and based on a UAC perspective, I think he has the list in the right order.

I think he got the UAC in the correct order for the most part, excluding the new UNA stadium. I think some of his other stadium rankings were a little off. Over-all though, I found his video reviews interesting.

Agreed, I kept hearing certain things, like the track, or not DI, or ugly colored field but then see something like a track, smaller stadium ranked high or UCA ranked up there. Since he also doesn't really list some metrics, it makes the list hard to follow or quantify.

Whan I started the thread, I had the following:
7) UCA
6) UNA
5)EKU
4) TSU
3) UWG
2) APU
1) ACU

Now UWF wasn't a part of the UAC yet and I graded UNA on what they had at the time. I'd likely put UWF last too, but haven't looked into all the features. My guess is UNA and ACU would go head-to-head, but haven't looked into UNA enough to see if they'd attain my number one spot.

As for his list I'm not sure how he ranks UCA high, even on his listed metrics. Other stadiums similar to APU's were rated higher. UWG looks smaller, but he has it high. He critiques some stadiums for piece meal expansion, but puts TSU up there. But, we had the same number one, three and four flipped and Braley Stadium within one rank. I put EKU two spots higher and we vastly disagreed on UCA and APU.

Honestly, would like to see AP's stadium. I could agree with you that UCA is too high. What I would really like to see is the list with both the new UNA and UWF stadiums taken into account.

Let me look into both and I'll edit the first post.

Looking good!

Love the sunset shot with the stadium lights on, really cool effect.

Here's a great new look from the inside.
