And for Memphis... I'm also confused on his choice of quote: "This is a dangerous, understaffed facility, recklessly close to a very active major train line." What's the issue with the train? Was the reviewer afraid the train would jump the tracks and hit the stadium? Maybe grow legs and chase down the fans? Or do the tracks run down one of the concourses and I just haven't heard about it?

Bad stuff. Sounds like the kind of thing I wrote in college when I had one hour left before my literature assignment was due.
I hate Louisiana but , crappy stadium? Crappy atmosphere? Naw

I gotta say @UofMTrain isn't where I thought this was going.

Heck, it's not even the UofM train section. It's the part by the Liberty Bowl, on Southern. That has to be one of the dumbest things that ever made it to print.

Memphis doesn’t belong on the list.

You decided who stays in the AAC. However did that work out?

The Liberty Bowl has had $60M in recent renovations, $15M in Tiger Lane tailgating, great sight lines, one of the largest video screens in the country, a new sound system, new locker rooms and concession areas, etc., and is a whopping 2 miles from campus.

The only thing we need now, which is planned, is a new press box. Try to keep up.

P.S. Last 3 Mem-UC football scores: 41-14, 53-46 and 34-7.
