From 1993 to 2002, the Alamodome was home to the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. It also briefly housed the New Orleans Saints while their home city was recovering from Hurricane Katrina.
The Alamodome could probably become one of the largest stadiums in the Sun Belt Conference behind the Cajun Field at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium, and the 3MG Stadium, as the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members becomes a major factor for the escalation of the Sun Belt Conference as a blooming major FBS Superconference, and one of the new teams joining is the UTSA Roadrunners
@@jonathan_tong93 We've blocked off the upperdeck for UTSA home games, so attendance can only be around 35K. That doesn't mean if we ever host aTm, LSU, or UT that the tarps couldn't be removed. I doubt it, though.
The skylines in Houston, in order of appearance: uptown, downtown, Texas medical center. Rice is just outside the medical center. You can’t see the other two skylines from the stadium, unless you’re in the upper deck.
The actual order of appearance is Uptown, Greenway, Downtown, Museum District, and then the Medical Center. Midtown is only a few tall building that blend in with Downtown in this video.
I played at UTEP last year and it is a beautiful spot the weight room is inside that stadium it’s an amazing view you can see mexico while you are working out and lifting! Beautiful spot I transferred to ULM it’s pretty nice campus and stadium!
@@jonlavezza2364 Bowden’s a great coach next year is going to be very promising for us and yeah from city to Monroe is different I’m not sure if you can say El Paso is really a big city honestly it’s getting there though.
Jerry Richardson Stadium is on campus at UNC Charlotte. The surrounding buildings are mostly academic buildings. The stadium can eventually add an upper horseshoe and a bigger pressbox.
You missed the best fact about Rice Stadium. When the tarps are removed from the end zone and upper deck, the stadium has more seats than the school has living alumni.
Fun fact: Miami played Washington State in the Sun Bowl about 5 years ago in a full-blown snow storm. Not what you’d expect from a bowl game called the “Sun Bowl” in the Texas desert...
First Houston skyline = Uptown/Galleria Second Houston skyline = Downtown Third Houston skyline = Texas Medical Center Houston actually has about 5-6 skylines, due to the lack of zoning and just how massive and expensive the city really is.
Love the videos! Some comments from a recent LA Tech (2019) grad: 1. North Texas has that odd looking North endzone stand (which goes damn near straight up, ive climbed it) bc the at the south endzone there is a big bronze eagle's head so the idea is that the north endzone is the "tail" of an eagle. Also, the stadium sells beer until the 4th quarter and looks bigger than its capacity due to the raised seating. Probably my favorite away stadium I visited while in college (marching band.) 2. Tech's pressbox is newer than the south endzone and extends from 20 to 20. There is a big catering room behind the seats. I've been to events there while in college there. Tech's concessions are in desperate need of renovation, which hopefully be built once the soccer and softball complex is finished. 3. If you ever want tickets to a game at the " Joe", let me know!
Its good to see "The Joan" being appreciated. We've had some great teams come in and be blown away by the hospitality we in Huntington show them. Win or lose we stay humble being known as "little brother."
at LaTech, where the davidson complex was built, there used to be a huge grass hill there that was as tall as the surrounding stands that the field house used to sit on. they dug it completely out to build the new complex. the hill was very cool. got to play a football game there once in highschool and i attended Tech from 2014-2019.
aghhh! i remember that! when I was a little kid my dad had to work the games as a police escort and I got to watch the game sitting there on the hill then when the game would end we would roll down the hill and go on the field to see the players and stuff. man those were some good times..
Legion Field was home of the Iron Bowl game from the 1940s until the late 90s. Also the stadium is still used for the HBCU schools matchup between Alabama State and Alabama A&M.
Thanks for getting to this conference as I graduated from FIU and the original stadium was across the field which is now a County Youth Fair now! And this stadium might expand in the future!
True fact: Grambling and Southern athletes create quite an atmosphere at track meets for relay races especially indoor (well they did in the 90s)!!! I am Canadian and hadn't seen that kind of excitement at a track and field meet before and I enjoyed their spirit.
Great job WWS! I love your humor as well! Keep it up. I went to UCF and our stadium is medium-sized with room to expand from 45k to 65k. I just Subscribed!!!
The main reason why Old Dominion's stadium was under going major renovation, was because they where upgrading it to FBS stadium standards, the previous years their stadium was still at FCS standards.
Great video! Just for future reference, most people pronounce UTEP as a word (U-tep) rather than saying the letters. Don't know if you'll ever have to say that name again but just in case lol.
3:25 That’s not true at all. Florida International’s stadium is the Southernmost Continental US FBS Stadium. Located 60 miles south of it and also in this video.
Fun sun bowl fact. My grandfather was a engineer and one of the architects of the stadium. I saw the plans once. But he didn't have any great exciting story to tell about the design 🤷♂️
Love your vids bro as I'm into stadiums as well. Your jokes are horrible most of the time but the Marshall Arts one was pretty funny. I gotta say just keep it up. Your'e a cool dude and I enjoy you content a lot bro. Keep it up! I hope you do 2. Bundesliga stadiums and a FBS stadiums ranking at some point.
UTSA’s stadium (Alamodome) interior was renovated in 2017. 4 giant LED screens added to each corner, news crawler style screen banners , and fresh turf as well as expanded corridors!
Regarding WKU, they did a good job expanding the stadium. I saw games there in the early '90s and it looked bizarre to me not to see any stands on the other side (you saw the baseball field). Regarding the water tower with the school's Big Red mascot: I would have said bourbon or whiskey (or even the Big Red soft drink, no connection to the school or its mascot!) over Mountain Dew :)
Great coverage of WKU Houchens Field (and saying in right on the first try lol), the OG stadium used to located at the top The Hill of the main campus near the current library, I heard rumors they pumped Red Bull into the Water Tower lol. UAB's new field will also play host to FCS games when the blazers are not scheduled to play.
Fun fact about FAU stadium: it's called Owl Memorial Stadium, on account that there where a bunch of burrowing owl burrows that they had to remove to build it. The owls where relocated, but I find it hilarious in a twisted kind of way
Joan C. Edwards also has her name on the playhouse (The Joan C. Edwards Playhouse) on the Marshall University Campus, where the "Marshall Artists" attractions are held. I graduated a few years ago, but Lewis Black (the comedian) was one of the said Marshall Artist in October of 2016 (I think)
The bike track at Rice is for the annual tradition of Beer Bike, which is an intramural relay bike race which also involved chugging beer between racers
2:43 I see the dorm I lived in, Hickman Hall!! When I went there, the south end zone was open, no stands and the building at the north end is newer too. GAME DAY AT THE ROCK!
Correct on S.B. Ballard's (now Kornblau Field) end zone seats. They added the "party deck" when ODU brought back football in 2009, and the opposite end zone dates back to the original Foreman Field.
Note: that third clump of buildings you showed while looking at the various business districts around Rice Stadium is the Texas Medical Center. And the reason why, for such a small school, they have a big old stadium, is because back in the 50’s, when Rice was good, they had one of the top 3 attendance ratings, along with Michigan & Ohio State.
I read that it wasnt even built for rice. It was built because Houston at the time didnt have a large venue for football. Back then it was only Jepperson(roberson) stadium at UH and THAT was for HISD. The Astrodome came after 'Houston Stadium' and all pro sports moved there leaving 'Houston Stadium' for Rice
Conference USA is an intercollegiate athletic conference whose current member institutions are located within the Southern United States. The conference participates in the NCAA's Division I in all sports. Conference USA is the home conference of the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners, who are probably joining the Sun Belt Conference, an NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision conference that would eventually become one of the 6 major FBS Superconferences, along with the Southeastern Conference, the Big Ten Conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Pacific-12 Conference, and the American Athletic Conference, as of the result of the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference caused by the mass exodus of all 10 members, one of them is the TCU Horned Frogs
Hi, can you please make a video with the stadiums of the 2. Bundesliga of Germany? It has a beautiful contrast of some gorgeous cozy 15.000-attendence stadiums mixed up with big Arenas with capacities over 60.000. I would love to see that!
I play football at Rice… the bike track is weird and people who live nearby use it and we use it for a tradition on campus. The buildings right behind the stadium is the medical center so those are all hospitals and cancer centers and stuff. The second view was downtown.
When he got to Rice and started questioning which skyline was downtown, I had to put my tablet down and laugh…. I’ve lived in Houston my entire life and even we question which is down town lol
Regarding the Joan C. Edwards/James F. Edwards situation at Marshall, the field was named after Mr. Edwards first when the stadium was built in the early 90s. When I grew up going to games there, it was "James F. Edwards Field at Marshall University Stadium". When the stadium expanded in the post-Randy Moss era (the upper green seats in the endzone), I believe Mrs. Edwards gave more money and it became Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Its one of 5 buildings on Marshall's campus named for her.
Thank god UAB getting outta Legion Field. That area was BAD. But would've been awesome if it was able to be just next to the campus. Have an awesome park with a minor league baseball field and a led tunnel there with all the entertainment in that area
Correct me if I'm wrong Rice fans, but the reason for the bike race track is for the annual "Beer Bike" right? For those unfamiliar with the beer bike, if I remember correctly, it is a competition among the school's numerous dorms. Each dorm puts up a team of bikers who have to drink an entire beer then race around the track. Something along those lines, I'm sure a Rice alum would have a better answer.
The Rice stadium that is in Houston. You were right about downtown Houston location that was far off. Tthe other tall buildings close by is called the Medical Center. Those are set of different hospitals, trauma centers, Cancer centers are located closes to the University.
I love the sun bowl at around sunset, with those hill's in the background. I remember when they briefly were good under the coach mike price which was hired by Alabama, then went to some strip club and got caught, and had to resign from the greatest coaching position in college football. Bama. wow, so he had to settle for UTEP. just a tad of a drop off there. but he coached them to some wins. He said he got fat there because of all the great mexican food. But seeing your video I am a bit dissapointed because I thought that those beautiful hills in the background made it seem like it was remote, but in reality it's right in the city, just happens to be sitting down in that bowl. they used to be in the sunbelt conference, now, CUSA? god I hate all the conference realignments going on today. the big 12, used to be nebraska, oklahoma etc now they have been gutted.
FIU (Miami) is south of FAU (Boca Raton) which would make it “southernmost”, no?
Yeah, my bad. I should have double checked that one.
yeah, but FIU are so overlooked they practically doesn't exist by this point.
@New Guy fiu fan?
@@Raerofficial Overlooked, like when they beat Miami 30-24? 😂 Yeah, that’s a game the Canes wish didn’t exist.
@@bronzeguy9839 wait that happened?
I never realized how neat the Sun Bowl is. Def one of my favorite stadiums now.
Rice Stadium is where JFK gave the famous “we choose to go to the moon” speech
Why was JFK's speech "infamous"?
It was infamous now bc the space program wasn't even close to being carbon neutral, and sexist jfk didn't want women to go b to space or blacks.
Definitely not something to praise post 2020
Plus, if they remove the tarps around the stadium, the seating capacity increases to 70k+.
Landing was fake!🤣
Pitt Stadium is where I gave my famous “I’m too drunk to be here, can someone take me home” speech.
As a WKU alumni that lived right next to the water tower. I can confirm it is full of Mountain Dew Code Red
😆
GO TOPS
I, also a Kentuckian, can confirm. Us west Kentuckians we have a saying, "yeah, at least we aren't Eastern Kentucky".

From 1993 to 2002, the Alamodome was home to the NBA's San Antonio Spurs. It also briefly housed the New Orleans Saints while their home city was recovering from Hurricane Katrina.
The Alamodome was also home of the San Antonio Commanders of the short-lived Alliance of American Football.
The Spurs court when playing in the Alamodome was pretty cool looking as well.
The Alamodome could probably become one of the largest stadiums in the Sun Belt Conference behind the Cajun Field at Our Lady of Lourdes Stadium, and the 3MG Stadium, as the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members becomes a major factor for the escalation of the Sun Belt Conference as a blooming major FBS Superconference, and one of the new teams joining is the UTSA Roadrunners

The Alamo dome in SA would’ve been the temporary home to the raiders while the build a new stadium somewhere in San Antonio.

Too bad its the bad part of Mexico haha...but I guess I'm glad you like it.
You see Juarez Mexico, not only is it kinda ugly, it’s also one of the most dangerous citys in the world.

"Al-Quinoa" and "Hommus"
I am in tears right now. Fucking hilarious!
FCK hommus !!!

Hummus is the organization of peace
As a former band member of UTSA, being in a domed stadium where it's always 72 is a God send.
Doesn't always play nice with pyrotechnics though😐

I do admire the City of San Antonio for keeping the stadium in use and not tearing it down.

They gotta fill the small stadium they have before that happens.

The Alamodome has been around since 1993. Saying that just made me feel old
Fun fact: Miami played Washington State in the Sun Bowl about 5 years ago in a full-blown snow storm. Not what you’d expect from a bowl game called the “Sun Bowl” in the Texas desert...
its Texas weather

@@DarkAudit A friend from high school was an equipment manager for OSU and was there too.
I just love our host's dry sense of humor! 😄
In Houston, you’ve got Downtown, Midtown, and the third “skyline” would be the Medical center.
I think the first one is midtown/galleria, and the second one is the "real" downtown
There's Downtown, Uptown, Midtown, and the Medical Center
The order of the video is 1. Uptown/Greenway, 2. Downtown/Midtown, the Museum District is zoomed past and then 3. Medical Center.
Just the medical center employees as many people as Cincinnati Ohio.

Rice Stadium used to seat 70k when both end zones were used. Pretty huge for a school with 4-5k enrollment.
Yea that's when they were actually good
When they played in the SWC, other teams dominated the attendance...well, most opponents still dominate attendance. LOL
Rice's football glory was in the 40's and 50's. There was no pro football in Houston at that time either.

Its one of 5 buildings on Marshall's campus named for her.
UTEP has the best stadium in CUSA.
Thank god UAB getting outta Legion Field. That area was BAD. But would've been awesome if it was able to be just next to the campus. Have an awesome park with a minor league baseball field and a led tunnel there with all the entertainment in that area
Correct me if I'm wrong Rice fans, but the reason for the bike race track is for the annual "Beer Bike" right? For those unfamiliar with the beer bike, if I remember correctly, it is a competition among the school's numerous dorms. Each dorm puts up a team of bikers who have to drink an entire beer then race around the track. Something along those lines, I'm sure a Rice alum would have a better answer.
The Rice stadium that is in Houston. You were right about downtown Houston location that was far off. Tthe other tall buildings close by is called the Medical Center. Those are set of different hospitals, trauma centers, Cancer centers are located closes to the University.
I love the sun bowl at around sunset, with those hill's in the background. I remember when they briefly were good under the coach mike price which was hired by Alabama, then went to some strip club and got caught, and had to resign from the greatest coaching position in college football. Bama. wow, so he had to settle for UTEP. just a tad of a drop off there. but he coached them to some wins. He said he got fat there because of all the great mexican food. But seeing your video I am a bit dissapointed because I thought that those beautiful hills in the background made it seem like it was remote, but in reality it's right in the city, just happens to be sitting down in that bowl. they used to be in the sunbelt conference, now, CUSA? god I hate all the conference realignments going on today. the big 12, used to be nebraska, oklahoma etc now they have been gutted.
You have the best dry humor...
Go UTEP !!!!
Sorry. Lol🤙
For Rice if I remember correctly one Skyline is the largest global medical center/med district. The other is downtown
