@DlNGOOOOOO@KevinOlmsted1@ham_ezz He mentioned a big university basketball arena. I was talking about our lower level teams have similar stadiums and vibes. Maybe just not quite as rowdy of fans at those levels lol
@SW689908 I agree it’s not needed. This is actually my local team… they just stated the whole firework and light show during night games recently like 2023. It’s not needed but it’s fun. The fans provide the atmosphere during actual game play.
@JFA1239@1895cg Same stadium same team 100 years apart. University of Texas. 27k seats in 1924 105k seats in 2026. Yes, you can argue they changed the overall setting of the grounds by making it massive but the history and the passion remains from 100 years ago.
@JFA1239@1895cg Most will agree we just have to defend our country when y’all shit on it 😂 but a lot of our older stadiums have been renovated a lot over the last century to be massive so we don’t necessarily correlate old with small when it comes to stadiums. Kinda like Old Trafford in a sense
@slasysh I personally have never been to that stadium but typically yea it’s not the best view from up there 😂 “nosebleed” seats people call them jokingly.
@lamont1940@CorneliusSC23 If you genuinely enjoy American football, I recommend you try to follow the college league more. You might like it more. Little bit of lower skill naturally than NFL but not by much and they tend to play with more passion as well.
@lamont1940@CorneliusSC23 For sure. It’s also the fact of family ties. My uncles and grandad went to university of Georgia. Most fans are tied in that way. NFL is more like “I’m from here so this is my team” kinda thing. Which is good too but just doesn’t mean as much if that’s makes sense.
@Safchawaythelad@Alf_25_WHU@GiantCaneiac@1895cg Brother… the people who fund the college stadiums are alumni of the schools. They are called Almuni Boosters and they give millions of dollars to schools for multiple purposes. We have big stadiums is small states.. have you not asked yourself why that is?
@Alf_25_WHU@GiantCaneiac@1895cg Yeah and that’s some bullshit. I understand that. We all feel the same way about these corporations taking away our history and traditions. We complain about these new stadiums are much as y’all we just have to defend it when yall shit on our country hahahah
@lamont1940@CorneliusSC23 Only difference is college sports aren’t professional and we still fill out the stadiums no matter if it’s a 35k capacity or 105k capacity. You could argue that college football is more popular than NFL here because of the history and passion.
@lamont1940@CorneliusSC23 And that’s exactly how our American football grew here. First game Georgia bulldogs played vs Auburn Tigers (school in Alabama) was in 1892 in an open field in Atlanta. No stadium just people standing around the field. They only play on Saturdays as well to this day.
@Alf_25_WHU@GiantCaneiac@1895cg Having stadiums that old is cool af. Not knocking them at all. I want to go to Old Trafford to watch United one day before I die. My point was that they upgraded those stadiums hold more than 60k fans cause that’s brings for a better atmosphere that’s all. Those are big parks.
@Safchawaythelad@Alf_25_WHU@GiantCaneiac@1895cg I’m not doubting that at all. I know how much yall love the footy.
But don’t ever tell us southern Americans that college football is a fucking hobby. Don’t speak on what you don’t know. Football is a religion down here. We have our shit yall have yours. It is what it is.
@Safchawaythelad@Alf_25_WHU@GiantCaneiac@1895cg Hey man you don’t have to tell me. 50k passionate fans at a college game beats 75k boring fans at an NFL games
every-time. But that’s what I’m trying to get yall to understand.. we don’t have 20k seaters for our biggest sports.. that’s why some of us say that.
