University of North Texas: Apogee Stadium
Colloquially known as ‘Mean Green’, this stadium is home to the team of the same name. This stadium suffers under the team’s poor performance and is an example of the trials facing any venue home to a losing team. Opened in 2011, LEED-certified and boasting modern facilities, the locale has everything you might expect from a modern stadium. The parking is perhaps a sore point, but nothing justifies the lack of popularity this stadium faces except the lack of popularity of the game and its local team’s lack of success.

University of Colorado: Folsom Field
In Folsom Stadium we find another example of a field brought down almost entirely by fans and amenities. The stadium itself is in relatively good upkeep if brought down a bit by its age. Built-in the early 1920s the building itself has not seen much in the way of updates. That is however not the real issue that visitors find off-putting. The first major challenge a new visitor must contend with is the Colorado fans. Often intoxicated and obnoxious, they do not present a welcoming atmosphere. The long lines for concessions and facilities with wait times in excess of 45 minutes are another big deterrent.
