No, War Memorial isn't one of them...

20. University of Hawaii - Aloha Stadium
Put this junk heap of a football stadium anywhere but Honolulu, and the Warriors are probably at the top of this list. To prove the point, the NFL has desperately been trying to move the Pro Bowl out of the dilapidated Aloha Stadium for years. Add in a fan base known for brutal assaults on visiting fans, an almost-dead football program, and five home wins in the last three years, and you can see how a place in paradise could actually make this list.

19. San Diego State - Qualcomm Stadium
The Aztecs haven’t been relevant since Marshall Faulk was running the ball, and even though spending an afternoon outside in San Diego is never a bad time, there are probably 14 million better ways to spend it than watching the action at Qualcomm. Most San Diegans agree, as the 70,000-seat stadium is typically half-empty on game day -- only 33,224 fans/game (on average) showed up last year.

7. Colorado State - Sonny Lubick Field
There was a time when CSU was up there with rival Colorado for the best football program in the state. Of course, there was also a time when we weren’t sure about VHS or Beta. And like those video platforms, neither has been relevant since the 90s; CSU, however, has barely even been heard from. That’s why you’ll only find about half of the 34,000 eats filled at this big cement block in the middle of the mountains. Presumably because fans would rather stay home and watch BluRay.

6. San Jose State - Spartan Stadium
San Jose is like the Houston of California: It’s the third biggest city in the nation’s largest state, and yet you still can’t name a single good thing that’s come out of there. College football included, where the perpetually mediocre Spartans play .500 ball in front of fewer people than you’ll find on an employee shuttle bus to Google Headquarters.
 
Tell you what- a new on-campus stadium at CSEwe could be the best thing to ever happen to UW. Wyoming fans ought to boycott FoCo until the CofC and FoCo biz community gets behind the damn thing- for no other reason than owning CSEwe on yet another level...

Qualcomm is far from awful. I understand the age of the thing; it's been 15 years since the expansions to support the Super Bowls that were held there. However, it's a fine stadium for football from the higher seats. The lower level field level were only good when baseball was played there.
 
Qualcomm was showing it's age in 2004 when I went, can only imagine how much worse it is now, so far from the field, but the fog rolling in was cool, but Hughes Stadium really sucks all around
