University of Tulsa: Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium
A locale close to the hearts of its fans, it does hold a special place in the hearts of Golden Hurricane fans. Skelly Field is a problematic stadium when compared to the expectations of modern college football. Some remark that the diminutive size lends to better views. Parking is the primary complaint with the locals, however, visitors may not see the charms that fans do as a good thing, and the outdated facilities will put some people off. The Golden Hurricanes have had a tumultuous couple of years, with a dip in performance making an impact on the atmosphere.
University of Massachusetts: Warren P. McGuirk Alumni Stadium
With a struggling home team in UMass, the stadium’s diminutive size and limited seating do not go a long way to help with the team’s general image. Game days draw such small audiences that the low, 17 000 person capacity is still too much to fill. The Massachusetts seasonal weather does the locale no favors. The stadium saw some renovations in 2014, however, this has done little for the public’s perception. The lack of adequate bathroom facilities and general amenities as well as the poor performance of the team place this particular stadium on the sympathetic end of our list.
