  • I’ve ranked a lot of things in the past, but stadiums weren’t on that spectrum…until now. So here’s my rankings of every Big 12 football stadium from worst to best, and as an added twist, this will included the four expansion teams as well. Enjoy!!!

    I'd say that's an accurate list. I like how you didn't let the size of the stadium affect your opinion. As you mentioned that attendance numbers have been dropping, schools are focusing on adding premium seating and amenities rather than just adding a new section when it comes to stadium expansions. Cincinnati is a good example. They may have the smallest but it is an electrifying atmosphere along with their top notch facilities. The fact their stadium is literally in the middle of campus is also convenient.

    I think you must be ranking game atmosphere in recent years of school and not the stadiums. You’re putting too much emphasis on capacity and attendance numbers, which really don’t have much to do with the quality of the stadium. And some of the “older” stadiums have been completely rebuilt, while others only expanded, so that shouldn’t be a factor either. Where would the Cotton Bowl rank as a stadium? Its huge and a dump. McLane is probably the best STADIUM in the conference. And I’m a Texas Tech alum. Really the only thing I can agree with you on is that KU is at the bottom, as a stadium and the atmosphere.

  • @jasonlippert8772
    @jasonlippert8772 Před rokem +10

    Confused as to why McLane Stadium ranks so low on your list. Is this based solely on atmosphere? Baylor had a 99.1% capacity attendance in 2021, which was actually only the 5th highest attendance since the stadium opened in 2014. On top of that, only Michigan, Utah, Penn State, A&M, Georgia, and Cinci had higher capacity attendance percentage among P5 programs.
    If your ranking is based on both atmosphere and stadium structure/visual design, McLane Stadium should rank much higher. It's considered by many to be one of the most beautiful/scenic views for a football game in the Big 12, as well as the country. I've been to other stadiums for games and understand that it's not at the top, but it's pretty clearly a better venue and atmosphere than places like Houston. BYU is also way too low on this list IMO

    • @bencharlton489
      @bencharlton489 Před rokem +2

      Can't say it's the most beautiful/scenic views in the Big12, and that's coming from a die-hard middle Tennessee Bear who saw them lose nearly every game every year at Floyd Casey when I attended. However, there aren't many other stadiums I can't think of (in the country) where you can actually go "sailgating" in the river right next door; and it touts one of the best video boards and modern facilities of all collegiate stadiums nationwide (has this guy every seen pictures of the locker rooms and VIP suites, just to start). I totally agree that atmosphere and tradition plays an important role in defining a stadium, but it probably shouldn't be weighed as heavily in this kind of review. Regardless, with the Bears' overall success in the past ten years, McClane is often the house setting the traditions each fall.

      @YoWhatGoesHere Před rokem

      Nothing. In the 1800's they used the yell Rah Rah Jayhawk. But in the state of Kansas there is a particular type of limestone that is called Chalk Rock. So they kind of just replaced rah rah chalk rock but it didn't rhyme so they flipped the words chalk rock to Rock Chalk. Even though it isn't just two interchangeable words it's the name of a type of Rock mined in the state. But who cares about miss identifying an actual thing, it doesn't rhyme. 🤣
      As for a Jayhawk, well.... in the 1950's the country was in a very tumultuous state with the Republicans trying to end Slavery by creating more new states that were not slave states and would hopefully use the new states voting powers as a way to outnumber the slave states and pass legislation to make slavery illegal in the United States.
      Between 1854 and 1861 there was a conflict called bleeding Kansas. The pro slavery Missouri and free state Republicans in the Nebraska territory and elsewhere led by abolitionist John Brown as well as the state of Kansas itself fought brutal gorrilla warfare over wether Kansas was going to be a free state or a slave state. Eventually The free staters won, but during the conflict both sides called each other names and threw stones and other debris at each other. One of the names that was used by the pro slavery Kansas citizens called the abolitionists and free state supporters names meant to insult them. One of the most common and well known names they called the free state supporters was Jayhawk.. That was what the pro slavery Kansas settlers would call the abolitionists as a way to describe a free stater. As a Jayhawk. How or why they decided to use that as their symbol is beyond me.
