The only personal shot I saw, was the one that random dude took at me and missed with.
Dick is acceptable but don’t you dare try using woke.Minimum two week ban.
And not to mention the hemorrhoids we got from sitting on a cold concrete seat.
I’m struck by the fact that 55% have directional arrows
I was in the SU Marching Band in Archbold, so we were on that field. I remember there was one season that every single game the field was muddy - even on some game days it wasn't raining, the field was still mud. Maybe someone here remembers the time we quick stepped out onto the field and my plant foot just went out from under me on the slick mud and I landed on my back.
I attended every home game, including the WV game the day after Thanksgiving in a 35-degree downpour. The concrete stadium became a waterfalls cascading down each seating level. Very, very few people attended those games. BTW, we never played at night in those days, unlike with the TV schedules we have now.
Yes, there are some glorious days in September, but season attendance would plummet at SU with an outdoor stadium. BC plays outdoors; did you notice the attendance they got last year for our night game in November? Or in 2016, when Dungey started the fight; it was cold and raw and raining. Barely anyone there for those games. They have a turf field, because it would be a muddy quagmire otherwise.
Lots of grown men on here who act one way anonymously online, and then another way in person. That’s a reflection on their character, not yours. Sad you feel this way but I get it.Nope. Never used an illegal in my life. OK, I've taken enough hits here. This is my last post on the forum which I'm sure will be a cause for celebration. I do want to thank the hosts very much for having and maintaining the site. I am saddened however by the nature of people these days who prefer to insult and are generally mean spirited. I do not use social media or go to other forums for a reason. I can only imagine what these are like without moderators. While we all know that a new stadium will not happen any time in the foreseeable future, I was just having some fun with the concept and offered my opinion of why it would be fun and beneficial. Yes, I do believe it would help. The program is stagnant. The Dome was a great asset to recruiting in its early years. It no longer holds any appeal however. I also think most people here exaggerate the weather. People are comparing Archibold to a modern outdoor stadium. There's no comparison. See my earlier post regarding last years weather. I know I've read comments on this forum in the past where ones have stated that they do not want to sit indoors on a beautiful fall day to watch the product offered. I kind of feel that way myself. I fail to understand why I'm considered a moron or druggy for suggesting that a new football only outdoor stadium would add some life to the program and help it from the doldrums, and that I myself would prefer to be outdoors. But whatever. I wish all the best, Hopefully Syracuse finds a home run coaching staff that will be here for a few years. Maybe that will help the mood here
Hmmm, this seems political.
Back when the World Cup was in the US, FIFA required that all games be played on real grass. They were able to play games in the Pontiac Silverdome (remember that?) because a professor at Sparty was able to design these these things that looked like a hexagonal cake stand that had a tray with sod on top and linked together to form the field. On non-gamedays, they were removed from the dome and put in the parking lots to get sun. I guess it was the forerunner of Arizona's field that slides out of the stadium.
When you look at a Google Map satellite picture of the dome you can see the area where they "park" the field to get sun.
It was a silly original post, for sure.
But I love transversing that hill after a September victory.
I have lived in northwest Ohio my whole life, and in my early years of Fandom in the mid 80's, the dome was one of those iconic symbols that made us unique and still is. Anytime a big east game came on, that shot of the dome was so cool. Haven't been back there since 2016 Va Tech so I'm looking forward to getting back maybe next season. While out door stadiums are nice, I wouldn't trade the Dome for anything. Just my personal opinion.
Totally agree. It’s our identity. That means a LOT when we have so much else working against our program.
The only place to build an Outdoor Stadium would be the fairgrounds, easy access in and out. Ample parking to tailgate. The problem is how to get the Students there and back.
Archibold? What was that?
When the Metrodome roof came down and the Vikings played in Gophers' stadium they installed underground heaters to help melt the snow.
