A lot more fun than the Duke, UNC, and NC State games I attended. Fans were nicer too.
Dowdy is a pretty cool stadium. It definitely had a big time feel to it. With that said, it could use some updating (lower concourse area, light stations, press box) to make more P5'ish. I will definitely consider going back in 2017 if possible.
I'd like to see Temple do a H&H with UVA and UNC. Kenan and Scott Stadium are two venues pretty high on my bucket list. I drove through UVA's campus today before I stopped in Harrisonburg to check out Game Day.....
Have you been to USCe? Their lower concourse is basically a hallway. It used to be even smaller. Our lower concourse is fine. Lights and press box I obviously agree with.
Personally don't see the appeal of Kenan. Though I do think you'll find the atmospheres aren't comparable

Yeah I would love for our stadium to one day build a nice brick facade around the stadium and upgrade the concourses. Hopefully when they update the pressbox it will really improve the overall look of the stadium and really make it look big time.

I could tell every time they were blitzing and every single coverage (which they read well tbf).
Also from my vantage point if we moved the Murphy Center to where the (office?) building behind Minges is and combine the two with Minges (either fully combined or a link like we have now) everything would be updated in the area and we could make DFS a full bowl. We wouldn't even have to increase the number of general seats. Just have that be a second Boneyard so we can double the amount of students and then have suites at the top connecting with the ones we have now and the ones we plan to build to make up for the lost ones from Murphy.
