For Memphis.
Atmosphere=4 Iconic Status=4 Beauty=3 Amenities=2 Uniqueness=3
So in the descriptor he says the LB is a unique icon? I'm confused.
And find me a prettier picture than the fully packed Tiger Blue under the lights sold out crowd!

RE: Ranking the stadiums in the AAC
I still love the Liberty Bowl over most stadiums.
As simple of a design it is, that is the beauty of it, simple yet has some nice architectural sweeps. When you are in the stadium, it doesn't feel big, yet, it holds 60K. And, the crowd just surrounds the field, up close.
Call me biased, and, I'm sure I am, but, Liberty is the best anywhere.

I've been to Nippert (1) and found it to be slightly better than a dump.
I've been to Raymond James (10) and it's by far the nicest stadium I have ever been to.
The LB and Raymond James are both great when they are full. Raymond James, with 45,000 empty RED seats for USF games must be horrible.

As far as aesthetics go, the Liberty Bowl is beautiful, IMO.

RE: Ranking the stadiums in the AAC
The Liberty Bowl is too big to generate atmosphere and sits in the middle of a parking lot. The stadium is ok but I think 6th is fair.

I’d rather have a stadium with a huge parking lot than one that takes 2 hours to get in and out of. Aka Ole Miss stadium

Nippert had a major upgrade/refurb a few years back. It must have been enough to get it to the top of this list. I've never been to that stadium but would love to make a trip up there. Maybe someday I will do a Cincy and Bengals game weekend.

I would rather have Ole Miss’ set up… but that’s just me. I’d much prefer to be on campus.

Tulane plays in a high school stadium. Crazy. Liberty Bowl is gorgeous, Tiger Lane is really nice. Some things are outdated and bleachers are uncomfortable and it ain't on campus. I love it. Another of thousands of stupid click bait articles.

And they think memphis is a high school that plays in a rented old city stadium
I guess its perspective.

I know you're as upset as I was when Memphis could have gotten an NFL team but passed on building a new stadium.
That said, how would you rank the AAC basketball arenas, 1-11?

This may shock you. Maybe not.
1 frick thr nfl. The univ should have built a stadium like houston, minimally like Tulane on campus.
2. Same with basketball. The program has been yanked from the Coliseum (which was fun), to the pyramid boondoggle, to the forum which is nice but not ours.
Imo the stupid arse city has milked the univ for years. Usually it's the other way around like Louisville
The results are obvious.
Just my opinion. Im sure there will be three pages of weirdos telling me I'm wrong.
Meh. Dont care
I tried to become a Mormon but they wont have me because I'm a memphis alum

Just curious - who is this "they" that you speak of? Someone we should give a sheet about what they think? Or just your general class of moron?
