Sports Illustrated: Top 25 College Football Field Designs

[POKE FAN]

Pokes roll in at #14.

No. 14: Wyoming
Wyoming's end zones are lined with the Rocky Mountains, a cool looking touch that few schools can do (and have it make sense). Fun fact: The stadium sits at an elevation of 7,215 feet above sea level—the highest of all FBS schools.

I've never understood why everyone in the media is always +/- 200'


I'm not sure I've ever seen or heard a member of the national sports media get it right.....even when it's written on the field right in front of them

A common misconception. The cause is subsidence due to fracking and coal mining. That is why Hillary wants to eliminate the fossil fuel industry. To save Jonah Field from further indignities.

Both wrong, no field can take the repeated beating that is the power rushing of Brian Hill without undergoing further compaction and settlement. He stays for his senior year and it might be down to 7,210'.

lol to everything..

I can't believe Boise, Cent. Arkansas, Eastern Michigan, and Eastern Washington are so high. I am not a big fan of those fields... I do however, kind of like Coastal Carolina's.

I honestly think we have a top 5 field design

God I hate Boise's blue turf. Its awful to look at live and on TV. Hate it.

I think EMU's was far worse if that is even possible. Made me feel like I was watching a black and white TV.

 

[gopokes1399]

Central Arkansas is so bad...
