Benson Stadium is newer and nicer and has a good campus feel. Plus utsa could probably fill it without KFC giveaways.

Where is it?

Alamo Stadium.  It’s 4 miles closer to campus than that dump they currently play in.  Put a little money in it to spice up the amenities and presto...a decent little 18k plus stadium to call home.

So I have never been to the Alamo Dome.  Can someone expand on why it's so bad?

I remember going there for a bunch of high school football state championship games. Honestly it’s unremarkable other than it fits 60,000. The area surrounding it, from what I remember is not that great either.  It’s a multi-purpose staduim so it doesn’t do anything particularly well.

It was built to house the Spurs originally. The box's only sit about 16 watching the game & are about 2/3s the size of our boxes. They now expanded the size of the concourse so I'll see how it flows in Nov. can't tailgate like other college stadiums. Parking downtown . Little room on sidelines . People dressed as Mexican fighters really is strange sight. Mascot is flightless bird which is always fun to wonder out loud which flightless bird is their mascot when talking to a UTSA alum.

The part that drives me crazy in there is how loud the PA/Music is and the way it reverberates around in that cavernous space. It drove me insane the last two times we played down there. It’s really obnoxious.

This more than anything.

Its like being in a Chuck-E-Cheese on Saturday afternoon.  Horrible place.

The nicest Hand-me-down stadium, yes. 

Hand me down implies some team wanted it in the first place.  It was a Football stadium the basketball team never wanted.  But they squatted there because their Arena was falling down.

The guy most likely never been to the stadiums he writing about.  Besides, do we really care what a ODU writer has to say?  If Vito said it I might be worried.

Yeah, it's more like that crappy Christmas gift that you never wanted, so you just regift it to someone you don't really like.

That was me.  Sorry.  Shouldn't have had that third slice at Crooked Crust.
