University of Memphis: Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium
A retro-futuristic aesthetic is the bane of this stadium. The look, while popular at the time of construction, has not aged well. This may seem a curious complaint about a detail that does not necessarily impact the quality of the experience of attending a game, but it is so jarring that it puts one off at first sight. Memphis U, the team calling this oddball stadium home, struggle to pull a big enough crowd to fill the stadium to even half capacity, which adds to the extremely off-putting idea that the place is somehow a derelict throwback incidentally still in use. It is also said to be understaffed, and lack necessary safety precautions and plans, making it a potential danger to the safety of visitors.
The University of Louisiana at Monroe: JPS Field at Malone Stadium
Another stadium and team from the football fanatic state of Louisiana, Malone Stadium makes the list for being in particularly poor upkeep. The Warhawks who call it home have a small fan base, despite a decent football program, and the poor upkeep of their stadium does their image injustice. Even after recent renovations, the 40-year-old stadium is in bad shape. Said to smell like a sewer. The cutting down of trees is also criticized for being a poor decision in the renovation process. Many feel that the team and the stadium deserve more funding.
