Yea he was a rich old guy but T Boone Pickens was one of the nicest people I have met. I have fond memories of meeting him at the old Mesa Family Picnics.
as a Kansas student, I truly do think that the view of campus from the field is truly unmatched. It is really placed perfectly in the valley so that the campus overshadows it.
Honestly I love how the Phog (and baseball field for that matter) are halfway between Daisy Hill and Jayhawk blvd, but you really can’t get a better location than that view of campus plus it’s way closer to the bars and Mass (and where I used to live so I guess I’m a little biased lol). Definitely needs major renovations and literally anything in the concourses so it’s not just like 2 small concession stands lol but definitely a lot more salvageable than it seems I think
Funny thing about West Virginia using John Denver's song at the end of all home games....John Denver was a student at Texas Tech, and was even in the marching band (The Goin' Band From Raiderland).
As someone who works on the gameday event staff at TCU's stadium, I can tell you that the brick facade at Amon Carter Stadium matches the brick facades of most of the buildings on campus. I'm not sure when those aerial photos were taken, but they just completed the East stand renovations with new premium seating in the upper deck.
BTW, Jack Trice Stadium just finished a renovation that added a wrap around concourse for the north end zone, as well as a new athletic building just twenty feet from the NW corner of the stadium. Also, The stadium in not only named after the first Cyclone athlete killed in competition, but is also the only FBS stadium named after an African American.
@@cole3converse Iowa State is 3 miles away from I-35. OU's stadium is closer to I-35 than that. So is TCU's. Baylor's Stadium is right next to I-35. UT's stadium is pretty much right next to I-35 too. So is UNT's. Texas State's stadium is less than a mile from I-35 and the Alamo Bowl where UTSA plays is 1.5 miles from I-35. Also, Minnesota's stadium is a mile from I-35.
Boone Pickens Stadium is also one of the only stadiums in college football to have suites that completely surround the field. As well as suites that can view the basketball court and football field from the same room
That's true; Boone Pickens is definitely underrated and has its own perks among FBS stadiums! From the suites as you mentioned to the large seating capacity (about 55k) to the rare-to-find cleanly symmetrical design
Saturdays are the way to go in Morgantown. Country Roads sung after every Mountaineer win. Can't wait drunkenly make the trek from the tailgate again this fall
in regards to the name "Sooners", before Oklahoma was a state, there was a "land -grab" where people lined up outside the territory, and at midnight, people were allowed to go into the territory and claim a portion of land. There were some people who didn't follow the rules and went in early (aka sooner) to grab land. So back in the days when Oklahoma was a starting, "Sooner" was a derogatory term for those that cheated and got an early start to claim land.
DKR Memorial Stadium is actually a War Memorial as well. They dedicated the name of the stadium after WW1 to all the Texans who served. Almost 200K. They have special ceremonies during the Veterans Recognition Game played near Veterans Day They also have a Veterans Memorial Plaza outside of the stadium named after Frank Denius who is a Texas Ex and a highly decorated soldier during WW2. He gave a lot of money to the university and was one of the numerous major boosters
Like the channel, but just FYI that’s an old rendering of Jones AT&T. “The Jones” as we call it, had gotten a facelift a couple times and the North side end zone Double T had been updated, and the South side now has the Sports Performance Center behind it as a backdrop, looks really nice.
I think many of the photos are actually before recent renovations. The majority of the TCU shots are well before its last renovation and the very last TCU shot is just a sliver of the recent addition.
Boone Pickens and McLane stand out to me as the best overall stadium designs in the conference. DKR looks a lot better with the endzone renovation too, and its sheer size is intimidating.
I was so mad about the renovations at Texas. I remember reading about the plans for enclosing the south end zone and at least at some point the initial concept was for it to mirror the north end zone which would have boosted the capacity to around 115k, which would have made it the largest in the country by a notable margin
Ya it does. Especially the new clubhouse and seating on and above the south end zone. We were at Bramlage this weekend and got to check out some of the new loge level. Pretty amazing.
Now the big XII has BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, and Houston added to make 12! I realize ech stadium has been covered in different videos. I like to see different stadiums it's kind of cool.
There's also (some) talk of the Big12 expanding _again,_ as they hold the rights to the name Big 16 "for future use." With the Pac-12 losing UCLA and USC, there's rumors (just talk) that the Big 12 might want/grab AZ and ASU, so _IF_ that ever happened, they might grab two other teams to make it to 16.
Include a ranking system in your American stadium videos. We're obsessed with hierarchy, and controversy. It's a no brainer. Look at that MLS video for example.
Lmao Milan Puskar is pronounced (My-lan Push-car). It's named after a guy that founded a pharmaceutical company who is from Morgantown. The company actually makes most epi-pens :)
True, although I do like the Big XII (2.0) over the original version. The original conference was so much "us against them." The current conference is much more cohesive.
props to iowa state for still naming their stadium after the guy, many people wouldve sold their naming rights but these guys still pay their respects to a man who died for the game.
To be fair ISU did sell the name of the field so I believe the full name is something like Mid-America Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium but I think mainly it's just logos on the field I don't think I have ever heard someone call it anything but Jack Trice Stadium.
Yeah but I dont understand why they need over 60,000 seats. Iowa State isnt a football powerhouse and never will be. Its not like Alabama where the 2 big schools both have lots of fans, Iowa Hawkeyes are way more popular than Iowa State.
These images are old on some of these stadiums. TCU’s stadium looks nothing like that anymore. It has a newer western side that added luxury boxes and additional covered seating. It is a gorgeous stadium now.
@@trunnardwashington8101 Only A&M, Tennessee, Alabama, and LSU have seating of 100k+. When OU comes in they will have an average sized SEC stadium (right in the middle).
That was a dated arias of KSU Stadium. There was 1 additional renovation already complete at the time of the video was released and since the video was released there has been another renovation.
A 'Sooner' is a cheater actually. It refers to an event in the 19th century where the Oklahoma territory was opened to White settlers and free to claim by new pioneers. All you had to do was stake a claim to a patch of land that you wanted, and voila- it was yours! Unfortunately, not everyone played by the rules. Many snuck in to the territory the night before and claimed the best plots of land for themselves before the race officially began. Because they got a head start, they were called "sooners" because they staked their claims too soon.
Ironically a few months after this videos release, two teams have left the conference and four teams have been added, so they are back to being a 12 team conference.
@@LurkerERS yeah it’s too bad they had to demolish it, I really like the new one that’s on campus tho. I was a freshman last year at CSU but because of covid we couldn’t go to the games, so this upcoming season will be my first time to watch a game there
Just curious - who makes the music for the channel? The song you use in the background has really grown on me - it sounds like something you'd hear in FIFA
I believe the conference was once called the Big 8, added 4 teams and became the Big Twelve. Lost a couple of teams to the Big Ten and then could not change the number in their name to conflict with the big 10.
We lost 1 to the Big 10 (NU) and 1 to what was then the Pac 10 (CU) A year later we lost 2 (MU and TAMU) to the SEC and added 1 from the Big East (WVU) and 1 fron the Mountain West (TCU) But yeah it was the Big 8 until adding 4 Texas teams (UT, BU, TAMU, and TTU) from the old SWC in the 90s creating the Big 12 which was going smoothly until Texas messed everything up
The Big 12 was a partial merger of the Big 8 and Southwest Conferences. all the Big 8 schools OU, OSU, CU, KU, KSU, ISU, MU, and UN and the 4 Texas schools UT, A&M, Baylor, and Texas Tech. Then CU (PAC 12), UM (SEC) UN (Big 10), and A&M (SEC) left in the early 2010's. The partial merger left TCU, SMU, Rice, and Houston without a conference home. Rice, SMU, and TCU went to the WAC and Houston went to the Conference USA.
Well thats because they got left out of the ACC, Big Ten, and SEC expansions so they had nowhere else to go. They really are a school nobody wants or wanted. SEC could have had them anytime they wanted and they could have had a nice rivalry with Kentucky but SEC wasnt interested. Passed on them in the early 90s when they added AR and SC and passed on them again when they added MO and TAM. Could have had a nice rivalry with Ohio State, Penn State, and old rival Pittsburgh in The Big Ten. Could have had a nice rivalry with the Virginia schools in the ACC but I bet those schools didnt want them because they think their academics are superior. So yeah WVU keeps getting screwed.
Yeah, being from WV, I could never figure why a conference so far away either, but hey, WVU has never been so noticed as they are now, so can't complain
@@timfremstad3434 They cant complain about the massive amount of money they earn from the Big 12's tv contract. So while they dont belong there geographically, they are being compensated very well.
The closest Big XII school to WVU in Morgantown is ISU in Ames, 861 miles away through Oho, Indiana, and Illinois. UT in Austin is 1,400 miles from Morgantown and some 'Horns fans would refer to WVU as the Big XII's mountain outpost back East .
Lol. You're not quite up on what happened. Nebraska left first, then Colorado and the following year Missouri and Texas Tech. The conference then brought in West Virginia and TCU. Not that I give a crap about KSU playing Mizzou (trailers), but a much much bigger rivalry is being renewed this season. Nebraska will play Oklahoma which during the 70's, 80's and early/mid 90's was one of the five top rivalries in CFB. K-State and Missouri are pathetic losers.
On October 29 at 7 pm, WVU kicks off its basketball season with an exhibition game against Akron. Then on November 9 and 12, WVU hosts Oakland (MI) and the Pitt Panthers, respectively. The Coliseum will be crazy on that Saturday night when Pitt comes to town. Without Deuce McBride and Derrick Culver who went to the pros, WVU is still a Top 30 team and will get better with all the depth Huggs recruited.
Odd that there isn't a better (more current) view of the Oklahoma stadium with the completed south endzone enclosure. I never realized how small most of the conference's stadiums were until this video.
Need to do a update soon, big 12 goes to 14 this season then back to 12 next season. Big 10 goes to 16. SEC goes to 16. ACC stays at 14 and Pac 12 goes to 10. AAC also explains to 14 alone with Sunbelt at 14. C-USA add the most new Stadium in d1 with 3 FCS new teams and Liberty and NMSU joining.
It really was the Big 12 before Colorado left for the PAC12, Nebraska headed to the BIG10, and Missouri defected to the SEC. Now, Texas and Oklahoma are leaving in three years, too. :(
UPDATE: As it turns out, Oklahoma and Texas have decided to join the Southeastern conference. But added Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Utah, Central Florida, Houston, Brigham Young, and Cincinnati.
Texas and Oklahoma are planning to leave the Big12 and join the SEC in the near future. So in turn, the Big12 has invited 4 new schools from across the country to join them. Making it a conference with 12 schools again.
The Kansas Stadium isn't as bad as it looks IRL. The hill on the open side of stadium is bigger than you think and i think Basketball stadium or something is up there. Plus people watch game from the hill etc.
I disagree...I think it actually looks worse. Been there a few times. Disgusting bathrooms, no parking and terrible football except when they play Texas
Well if you don’t know what a sooner is now you will. The Sooners are a name significant to the state and it’s history. The name derives from a term used for early settlers of the Oklahoma territory. They were called Sooners due to the fact that the government had a set time and date for a race for people to claim land in the territory of Oklahoma, and some people went in and claimed land before said date and time. These people were called Sooners because they settled the land to soon.
Believe it or not, that image of Kansas’ stadium was taken during a game
Good one

This is false. Kansas has no football team
Yea he was a rich old guy but T Boone Pickens was one of the nicest people I have met. I have fond memories of meeting him at the old Mesa Family Picnics.

Google earth needs to update the Texas Tech pics
That overhead picture of Bill Snyder family stadium is old... it’s a closed off bowl now
Odd that there isn't a better (more current) view of the Oklahoma stadium with the completed south endzone enclosure. I never realized how small most of the conference's stadiums were until this video.
Yeah Kansas and tech were so small
@@ashtonhamilton5931 tech has a capacity of 62,000 and is the 3rd or 4th biggest stadium in the conference.
These jokes get me every time.
Go Frogs!🐸
Been to Amon G. Carter. Sat on the very edge of the 3rd tier closest to the campus.
Before or after the 2nd renovation?
Might want to have an updated version of Bill Snyder Family Stadium, it's completely different from what the image you put up has in it.
I love the Big 12 College Football Stadiums.
Why do they use such old photos and footage?
Need to do a update soon, big 12 goes to 14 this season then back to 12 next season. Big 10 goes to 16. SEC goes to 16. ACC stays at 14 and Pac 12 goes to 10. AAC also explains to 14 alone with Sunbelt at 14. C-USA add the most new Stadium in d1 with 3 FCS new teams and Liberty and NMSU joining.
You where showing the old pictures of kansas state😑
In a few years when the realignment goes into effect, the Big 12 will have 12 teams
It really was the Big 12 before Colorado left for the PAC12, Nebraska headed to the BIG10, and Missouri defected to the SEC. Now, Texas and Oklahoma are leaving in three years, too. :(
Didn’t even mention the big screen in Stillwater
Jones AT&T Stadium will be upgrading the South endzone soon.
Great Video as usual
Top 10 channel on You Tube !
OU's stadium has been completely closed in since 2017
2016*
@@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall got plenty of pics if you need em. Been season ticket holder in south end zone for 22 years.
2017
UPDATE: As it turns out, Oklahoma and Texas have decided to join the Southeastern conference. But added Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Utah, Central Florida, Houston, Brigham Young, and Cincinnati.
A sooner was a cheater in the land run. Before the land run they went ahead and staked land. Hence the sooner
Oklahoma Sooner stadium is old, the two open ends are no longer open its now a complete stadium
Make that Big 8....7....6...and so on.
well time to update this. Cincy, BYU, Houston, and UCF have now joined.
This video was uploaded a week ago but the image of Kansas state football stadium was before the completion of the north side endzon.
Texas and Oklahoma are planning to leave the Big12 and join the SEC in the near future. So in turn, the Big12 has invited 4 new schools from across the country to join them. Making it a conference with 12 schools again.
There was not a lot of fans in the seats in the K-State images, because most K-State fans are not smart enough to find it.
Really a stupid remark. Embarrassed much?
We need an update on all of the conferences
Iowa States new renovations are crazy
Please do Pac-12 and Big 10 stadiums. Thank you.
The Kansas Stadium isn't as bad as it looks IRL. The hill on the open side of stadium is bigger than you think and i think Basketball stadium or something is up there. Plus people watch game from the hill etc.
🤣
I disagree...I think it actually looks worse. Been there a few times. Disgusting bathrooms, no parking and terrible football except when they play Texas
There's a dog buried under OU's field. I'm not sure why I know this.
OU's first mascot
Is it Jimmy Hoffa's dog possibly?
McLane is the best
Ah yes a Baylor Fan, Can’t wait to beat you this weekend

Do a liga Mx stadiums!
Well if you don’t know what a sooner is now you will. The Sooners are a name significant to the state and it’s history. The name derives from a term used for early settlers of the Oklahoma territory. They were called Sooners due to the fact that the government had a set time and date for a race for people to claim land in the territory of Oklahoma, and some people went in and claimed land before said date and time. These people were called Sooners because they settled the land to soon.
The Sooner stadium is not accurate, it is enclosed now. Has Ben for a couple years.
“Pac 12 is true to its word, for now”
Yeah…for now
How about the best songs played at college football games? Country Roads is already #1 in my book.
