Scenic Stadiums

The Heinz family doesn't own the company

What does that have to do with anything? Heinz ketchup is tomato flavored water spiked with corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup.

I couldn’t care less who owns it.

I liked Pittsburgh too.

Pittsburgh is awesome.

But the last time I went to any game there, it was the Astros vs the Pirates.
At Three Rivers.

I haven't been to BYU, but that backdrop is pretty sterling and everyone I've heard from who has been there said it is great.
I have been to U Dub's stadium (not for a game, tho), right on the water in Seattle, It is a pretty cool setting. Been to App and ... eh. Maybe the result had something to do with my lack of acclaim for it. Western Carolina's was a better setting. And as much as it pains me, Furman's is pretty nice, too.

I'd put Tech's backdrop right up there. Maybe BYU's setting is more scenic. And as much as I'd like U Dub's setting, I wouldn't rank it above Tech's.
BDS/HGF at night, with a full house, is spine-tingling beautiful.
 
I guess i have to put in a plug for Scott Stadium in Charlottesville in early October.

Its a chamber of horror for GT but what a view.
 
Michie Stadium (West Point) should be higher on the list:

You could always just take some low-budget tomato paste and add a öööö ton of preservatives then add half a gallon of high-fructose corn syrup then a pint of regular corn syrup to it - pretty sure that would get you to the same spot.

Saying Heinz is the best is like saying Little Debbie's are the best pastry in the world. I get some blue-collar Pittsburgh steel working saying that but did not expect to heat that here. Maybe go to Trader Joe's or the organic isle of your local grocery store - there's like a whole world of products out there that really are good.

Now you are stepping on toes. Little Debbie crushes Hostess like a grape.

Likely what the idiots in charge of GT are going to do in favor of MBS. There is just too much money behind mothballing BDS.

So, the idiots in charge are going to do away with a stadium that they owe a lot of money on? How would this work?

As for stadiums, I like the view at UVA, nice “grounds” as well with the fall colors.

By making more money by moving games to MBS I guess. Seems everything has a price these days. I’m being cynical but such a development would not come as a shock. It really wouldn’t shock me at all if next year’s dwag game got moved to mbs.
 
I've been to UNC, NC State and Duke stadiums... None of which I would call scenic. I love our team, however; I don't think I would like GT's stadium as scenic either. I think you would have to see what data points are used to describe scenic.

You ever been to the cesspool? Sewage bubbles up from the 50 yard line and creates a hell of a stink. Sadly, it is a more pleasant smell than the rest of Athens

The ketchup bottle pouring ketchup every time Pitt scores is unbearable. Heinz is, a gross, hfcs, soybean oil loaded imitation of everything they make.

The people aren’t that nice either. I lived in Scranton and Philly before so I understand how things work in that state. It just wasn’t enjoyable. Its an NFL stadium and doesn’t work for college. Pitt used to have an on campus venue but they shut it down.

totally random, why did you live in Scranton? Not much there, or growing up? Been a few times to visit customers in Wilkes-Barre though.

Dad got sent to Vietnam so we moved to Scranton to be near Mom's family. Late 60s.

Not wrong. Been to Ugag, a few times.... Ugag fans are unfriendly. Even, when NOT going to a Tech game.... Best fans I ever seen were LSU fans... Those people offer food, left and right, to strangers... UNC fans are bitter, nasty and ugly....much, like their stadium.
 
Tech needs to break away (somewhat) from ACC control and schedule night games in Atlanta. They are better attended, the atmosphere is a very marketable item, they are out of the terrible sep/ Oct sun, easier to get to, etc. College football needs fans right now, not another Duke GT game at noon.
