Fun fact: Coastal Carolina's baseball team won the D1 College World Series in 2016, a pretty rare accomplishment for a baseball program that's not from a Power Five conference.
After the channel's recent videos on the larger conference stadiums, nice call to take a break and highlight the the Sun Belt. It is a great underrated conference. As a App State alum, I'm biased towards our Kidd Brewer Stadium, but it really is a great place to watch football. The SBC overall has a bit of interesting variety in its little stadiums.
I feel the same from a Texas state alum and now I’m at UT Arlington getting my masters although UTA does not have a football team but Texas state does have a nice stadium so does a majority of the sun belt and yes the sun belt is a underrated conference in both basketball and football
@@chrisz2176 The Texas-Arlington Mavericks and the Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans are probably going to the Summit League, an NCAA Division I non-football conference where the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles would probably face the 2 non-football schools of the Sun Belt Conference, as the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 Conference members might result into the departures of the Texas-Arlington Mavericks and Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans and would probably lead into the additions of the TCU Horned Frogs, the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the FBS Independent Liberty Flames from the ASUN Conference, and the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA
Arkansas State is my local university and it took me back a bit to be reminded how the Vault used to look 10 years ago or so. It's such a different feel now compared to when I was a kid/teen going to games with the new press box addition with upgraded facade, the North Endzone seating and Student Activity Center behind, and the waterfall water features in the corners.
The Sun Belt Conference may not have been a larger conference, but by the time the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA, and the FBS Independent Liberty Flames join the Sun Belt, the Arkansas State Red Wolves could probably face the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, the FBS Independent Liberty Flames, and the 2 Conference USA Schools at the Centennial Bank Stadium. It would also be an honor for the 10 Sun Belt Conference members to face the 6 new aforementioned conference members
I don’t know how old the video for Arkansas State Centennial Bank Stadium was, but it looks entirely different now since the renovation that started five or six years ago, and completed at the beginning of the 2019 season. After the renovation, I think it probably ranks pretty close to the top of the conference.
James Blackman managed to sink one nicely into a waterfall last year. I was at that game. Probably the highlight of the year given how rotten we've been lately. Oh well, always next season!!
Fun fact about Kidd Brewer stadium, they sell tickets to sit on the hill outside the other end zone. So the capacity is that of the stands and then however many people can fit on the hill.
I would love to see you do the SoCon! I know it’s FCS, but the stadiums are very diverse between public state schools, small private institutions, and military academies.
@@iplayfhorn from a historical standpoint, the SoCon had most of the ACC and SEC schools in it. They eventually split off because there was so many teams and the schools varied in size. For example, Furman and Clemson have very different student enrollment. The SoCon was the true mega conference of the south and should be recognized as a pivotal figure of college athletics history.
Loving these videos. I love sports and stadiums, arenas etc and all the history of not only the players and games, but the buildings and expansions etc, I just love it! Nice work
Nice to see the rest of the conference stadium's. We live not far from Troy so we always attend their games. But have been to the old South Alabama stadium and Georgia state for Teoy games.
And also App State that year was a top 5 FCS team. A top 25 FCS team is better or on the level of a Sunbelt team. Georgia Southern FCS team would beat their current FBS team because Georgia Southern was a better team in the FCS.
@@jabarijones8091 App State has the lead in their matchups, winning 19, losing 15, with one tie. App has won six straight bowl games. Has the stink done that? App State has been in the AP rankings three times in FBS. When has the stink been ranked? Prior to both teams joining the FBS, App had a lead in the series, 14-12. App is 5-3 against them since. Erk Russell is long dead. LOL.
@@PliableScissors Nobody is talking bad about App St. lol In Fact I said that GS FCS teams in the past was better than their current team. What hurt GS was Kennesaw State getting some of their players. Kennesaw State is a bigger school and growing mush faster than GS and that has hurt GS.

The road next to Veterans Memorial in Troy is closed on game days, and you may have trouble climbing the fence next to the road since they have tents and food venders along it during home games.
I'll never forget going to Centennial Stadium in Jonesboro, AR to watch a Arkansas State Red Wolves game. It was a fun time but the fans were hilarious. At the opening of the game while playing the National Anthem, no there was no fly over by the military....but some ducks went flying over the length of the field and the fans went nuts LOL.
I have a passion for college football stadiums , their different locations throughout the contiguous United States and their different characteristics!
The Teal Grass from Brooks Stadium, CCU used some of Shaw Sports Powerblade Turf to "grow" the grass, so that way the color is teal with gold endzones/bench zones, white marks/lines, and the CCU Logo, that's why the turf is teal
The Center Parc Stadium shall see the Georgia State Panthers face the likes of the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA, and the FBS Independent Liberty Flames, when the Sun Belt Conference becomes a major FBS Superconference should the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members led by the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners, who are joining the Southeastern Conference, come into fruition, and could also result into the gradual departures of the 2 non-football schools that would eventually join another NCAA Division I non-football conference; the Summit League
@@NKBlazer I’d have to check the size of their new Jumbotrons to say for sure, but it’s a safe bet GSUs is still the biggest. It was inherited from the Braves when they left Turner Field, and it’s one of the biggest college boards I’ve ever seen. That includes P5 stadiums
My father and I have actually driven through the campus of Appalachian State when we visited Boone a few years back. It just might be one of the most picturesque campuses in the United States. In addition to the amazing views and scenery, much of the buildings are made out of a red brick (which blends beautifully with many of the nearby trees and rocks). I can't imagine watching football in that environment, I might get distracted by the sheer scenery.
As an Arkansas State alum, I was hoping you would give our stadium justice after I saw you used old pictures, and you didn’t let me down. I would like to point out something that does make the stadium more unique: waterfalls in both corners of the north end of the stadium.
South Alabama's stadium is located on the site of their former intramural fields. My father actually did some of the planning work on the intramural fields about 20 years ago. He retired before South Alabama started their football program.
Hopefully, when the Sun Belt Conference blossoms into a new major FBS Superconference, the South Alabama Jaguars will face the FBS Independent Liberty Flames, the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, and the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA at the Hancock Whitney Stadium, once the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members led by the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners come into fruition

Also...."matchday" :-D If you called a football game day "matchday" in SEC country, you'd probably get punched in the face! ...but I like it!
When he said to watch people jumping the fences I was thinking football down south not sure if anyone is quite sober enough to jump them after tailgating 😂
You should definitely do a video about the history and expansion of college stadiums over time. Some stadiums are brand new but there are 90+ year old stadiums
The San Marcos Bobcat Stadium had a 13,500 Seating expansion in 2012, thus the Texas State Bobcats became a new Football Bowl Subdivision team. The Texas State Bobcats might probably face the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA, whose stadiums are the TDECU Stadium in Houston, the Amon G. Carter Stadium in Forth Worth, and the Alamodome in San Antonio. The TDECU Stadium in Houston might add 1,500 seats in the North Endzone plus 2 11,500 stands in the Northern Endzone and the Southern Endzone, thus the accumulated seating capacity would be 64,500
The Texas State Bobcats are the only Texas-based Athletic program of the Sun Belt Conference until the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference caused by the mass exodus of all 10 Conference members led by the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners might pave the way for the additions of the Houston Cougars, the TCU Horned Frogs, and the UTSA Roadrunners, along with the UCF Golden Knights, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, and the Liberty Flames, as the Sun Belt Conference becomes one of the magnificent 7 NCAA FBS Superconferences, and the Mid-American Conference adds the UConn Huskies from the Big East Conference and the 3 FCS-to-FBS Transitional Schools are ready to face the MAC Powerhouse, the Northern Illinois Huskies
@@jonathan_tong93 UTSA and Texas St both joined the FBS ranks in 2012 in the old WAC. Conference realignment happened UTSA went to CUSA and Texas State went to the Sunbelt. The north endzone cannot expand unless they want to block the designed view of Downtown Houston. The WAC is reforming as an FCS conference from what I hear.
@@jonathan_tong93 If anything, the AAC stays around and it cherry picks teams from the Sunbelt and CUSA. UTSA is attractive only due to SA TV market, but it doesn't mean much because as you know, everyone's already an Aggie or Longhorn fan in the city when it comes to games on TV. Leftovers of CUSA and Sunbelt might merge or readjust members. I'm not a fan of 4 of the CUSA teams being in Texas.
Here's hoping UT Arlington get's back to football at some point in the near future. It would require a renovation of the stadium, but enrollment numbers are high enough to where there should be good support for a team.
UTA would more than likely play in Jerryworld, the old Ballpark, or a new on campus stadium... they have room. And with all due respect, their competition would be UNT. They have a LONG way to go before competing with TCU or even SMU.
Troy Student here yea you can hop the fence but there is a easier spot on the other side cause on the side you showed there's vendors and the student section and band section and behind you is a national guard armory.
Suggestion: the three leagues in the Canadian Hockey League (Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League). The CHL is the top amateur level below the NHL, equivalent to the FBS in yank college "football".
You should look at college baseball stadium. The NCAA baseball tournament is going on right now. The SEC and Big 12 have good ones and the CWS in Omaha has an awesome stadium
Georgia State Stadium welcomes you to Radio One Birthday Bash 25 everyone. Enjoy rap fans. See ya in September 2021 for some Georgia State University Panthers football.
I am so old that when I went to college Louisiana University was called Southwest Louisiana University, Louisiana Monroe was called Northeast Louisiana University and their mascot was the Indians, Troy University was called Troy State and I could be wrong here but South Alabama didn't have a football team. I've been on the outside of the Louisiana Monroe stadium and it was really high looking the top of the stands. edit: locals and alum please correct if I'm wrong on any of these I'm going from my hazy memory :)
As someone who's been in Center Parc Stadium, it's beautiful. If they remove the seats that are kinda useless behind the bleachers on the sideline it'll be even better.
The Center Parc Stadium might probably remove some of the remnants of Turner Field in order to become a newly reconfigured Football Stadium, as the Georgia State Panthers would probably face the likes of the FBS Independent Liberty Flames, the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, and the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA, as the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members led by the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners would lead into the groundbreaking transformation of the Sun Belt Conference as the blossoming major FBS Superconference
@@jonathan_tong93 Bro Georgia State brand is not nearly as big as every school that you just mention. I would like Kennesaw State move to the Sunbelt TBH
The Coastal Carolina University must have a master plan as the possible expansion of the Brooks Stadium could probably lead into the road reconstruction and the north endzone expansion to the Brooks Stadium with an accumulated seating capacity of 26,000, so the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers shall face the likes of the FBS Independent Liberty Flames, the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, and the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners, from Conference USA, as the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members becomes a factor for the Sun Belt Conference becoming the blossoming major FBS Superconference
Watching so many of these, I prefer a lot of these small school stadiums to the power conferences. So many big schools just expand, expand and expand more and it often isn't pleasing to the eyes.
These stadiums you can sit upper bowl and not be a mile away. It’s an amazing vantage point view wise and still extremely close to the field. Can’t beat it.
Hi, Louisiana-Lafayette student here. I regret to inform everyone that the food scene at Cajun Field is absolutely awful. I have had better food at high school basketball games. That being said, games are a blast to watch there, especially with a full house. Go Cajuns, Sun Belt Champs 2021!
The bowl game at Coastal should move to the Georgia Southern stadium. While Statesboro is a little bit of a drive from Savannah, the Savannah area is a much nicer place to visit than the Myrtle Beach area.
I've been in Boone NC once. App State probably has one of the most beautiful locations in the eastern United States. They're surrounded by the mountains, grassy areas are throughout the campus area of town, and some of the campus buildings are older fashioned brick (exterior), not metal and glass or concrete. Can't imagine what the football atmosphere must be like.
Coastal are the chanticleers pronounced shanticleers. Shhhh like quiet. And it’s a fighting rooster, Coastal used to be part of University of South Carolina hence the fighting rooster.
It called Howard's Knob because a loyalist settler in the area hid on the mountain during the revolutionary war. So they named the mountain after his knob.
Um, the Braves moved out of Turner Field because the lease was up, and they couldn't strike a deal to get necessary improvements, hardly questionable. One major thing that plagued Turner Field, as well as its predecessor, Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, was the lack of transit options; the city had a chance to run a rapid rail line either to the stadium or to run by it, but chose not to (politics, I guess). Plus, it pretty much backed up to a residential section of town, which meant no chance for additional development, something that is not a problem with the new location, the Cumberland Mall area of Cobb County (which has an Atlanta zip code, so technically, the Braves are still in Atlanta). The so-called "under the table" dealings that brought the Brave to Cobb County were no different than what happened to bring the Braves to Atlanta from Milwaukee in the first place; nothing illegal, just pissed off fans and taxpayers (it did get the county commission chairman voted out of office, if it makes people feel any better :-D)
@@evanw7925 I didn’t mean to imply that he said illegal, if that’s what you thought. And yeah, there may have been some “secret” meetings, but a lot of deals are made that way. But the Braves weren’t going to renew their lease, not without some improvements to Turner Field, which the city didn’t want to pay for. As for Smyrna getting a MARTA tail line, I’m with you; I’ll believe it when I see it. The only way I see Smyrna getting a rail line is if CobbLinc puts in light rail, and even then, it would just be within the county, it wouldn’t link up with MARTA. That was never really in the plans for MARTA anyway, one of the reasons Cobb voted it down.
@@danielr4640 The Brooks Stadium has a Teal-colored turf, which is unusual for the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers to face the 9 other Sun Belt Conference Teams, one of them is the Louisiana-Lafayette Raging Cajuns, and soon, the likes of the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA, and the FBS Independent Liberty Flames. The dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members led by the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners, who are joining the Southeastern Conference, could become a factor for the escalation of the Sun Belt Conference as the newest major FBS Superconference
Fun fact: Coastal Carolina's baseball team won the D1 College World Series in 2016, a pretty rare accomplishment for a baseball program that's not from a Power Five conference.

Whenever you have a chance, do Mountain West Conference stadiums. TIA
You should definitely do a video about the history and expansion of college stadiums over time. Some stadiums are brand new but there are 90+ year old stadiums
Ummmmmm. Loved your video. But over here in the hills we don’t brew our moonshine. 😂😂
Bobcat stadium is pretty nice knowing it started out as D2 and only recently upped to FBS.
The San Marcos Bobcat Stadium had a 13,500 Seating expansion in 2012, thus the Texas State Bobcats became a new Football Bowl Subdivision team. The Texas State Bobcats might probably face the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA, whose stadiums are the TDECU Stadium in Houston, the Amon G. Carter Stadium in Forth Worth, and the Alamodome in San Antonio. The TDECU Stadium in Houston might add 1,500 seats in the North Endzone plus 2 11,500 stands in the Northern Endzone and the Southern Endzone, thus the accumulated seating capacity would be 64,500
The Texas State Bobcats are the only Texas-based Athletic program of the Sun Belt Conference until the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference caused by the mass exodus of all 10 Conference members led by the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners might pave the way for the additions of the Houston Cougars, the TCU Horned Frogs, and the UTSA Roadrunners, along with the UCF Golden Knights, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, and the Liberty Flames, as the Sun Belt Conference becomes one of the magnificent 7 NCAA FBS Superconferences, and the Mid-American Conference adds the UConn Huskies from the Big East Conference and the 3 FCS-to-FBS Transitional Schools are ready to face the MAC Powerhouse, the Northern Illinois Huskies
@@jonathan_tong93 UTSA and Texas St both joined the FBS ranks in 2012 in the old WAC. Conference realignment happened UTSA went to CUSA and Texas State went to the Sunbelt. The north endzone cannot expand unless they want to block the designed view of Downtown Houston. The WAC is reforming as an FCS conference from what I hear.
@@jonathan_tong93 If anything, the AAC stays around and it cherry picks teams from the Sunbelt and CUSA. UTSA is attractive only due to SA TV market, but it doesn't mean much because as you know, everyone's already an Aggie or Longhorn fan in the city when it comes to games on TV. Leftovers of CUSA and Sunbelt might merge or readjust members. I'm not a fan of 4 of the CUSA teams being in Texas.
Here's hoping UT Arlington get's back to football at some point in the near future. It would require a renovation of the stadium, but enrollment numbers are high enough to where there should be good support for a team.
For real, they also have the pull and talent level to where they could compete with other metro schools such as UNT and TCU.
UTA would more than likely play in Jerryworld, the old Ballpark, or a new on campus stadium... they have room.
And with all due respect, their competition would be UNT. They have a LONG way to go before competing with TCU or even SMU.
If they were to restart their football team, they wouldn't immediately start in the Sun Belt. That would be like throwing them into the lions den.
Also do Conference USA next
Could you do the Southland or WAC Conference... Sam Houston State DID win the National Championship earlier this year (2021)
This is great. Have seen three so far
Looking forward when you do the PAC 12 stadiums.
Me too 🌲🔱
Remake this vid again soon, App made some big upgrades!
Troy Student here yea you can hop the fence but there is a easier spot on the other side cause on the side you showed there's vendors and the student section and band section and behind you is a national guard armory.
So, Mr. WWOS... what are you asking Chanticleer for this year??
Definently need to do an update video on the Belt stadiums!
Suggestion: the three leagues in the Canadian Hockey League (Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League). The CHL is the top amateur level below the NHL, equivalent to the FBS in yank college "football".
I LOVE YOUR CIDS
You should look at college baseball stadium. The NCAA baseball tournament is going on right now. The SEC and Big 12 have good ones and the CWS in Omaha has an awesome stadium
Georgia State Stadium welcomes you to Radio One Birthday Bash 25 everyone. Enjoy rap fans. See ya in September 2021 for some Georgia State University Panthers football.
Texas State was the name of the university in the movie Necessary Roughness. Except the team was called the Fighting Armadillos.
I am so old that when I went to college Louisiana University was called Southwest Louisiana University, Louisiana Monroe was called Northeast Louisiana University and their mascot was the Indians, Troy University was called Troy State and I could be wrong here but South Alabama didn't have a football team. I've been on the outside of the Louisiana Monroe stadium and it was really high looking the top of the stands.
edit: locals and alum please correct if I'm wrong on any of these I'm going from my hazy memory :)
As someone who's been in Center Parc Stadium, it's beautiful. If they remove the seats that are kinda useless behind the bleachers on the sideline it'll be even better.
GSU don't have the money to do that.
The Center Parc Stadium might probably remove some of the remnants of Turner Field in order to become a newly reconfigured Football Stadium, as the Georgia State Panthers would probably face the likes of the FBS Independent Liberty Flames, the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, and the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA, as the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members led by the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners would lead into the groundbreaking transformation of the Sun Belt Conference as the blossoming major FBS Superconference
@@jonathan_tong93 Bro Georgia State brand is not nearly as big as every school that you just mention. I would like Kennesaw State move to the Sunbelt TBH
Coastal is removing the road that is close to the end zone. Eventually this end zone will be bowled as well
It will look so much better
Really?
The Coastal Carolina University must have a master plan as the possible expansion of the Brooks Stadium could probably lead into the road reconstruction and the north endzone expansion to the Brooks Stadium with an accumulated seating capacity of 26,000, so the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers shall face the likes of the FBS Independent Liberty Flames, the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, and the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners, from Conference USA, as the dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members becomes a factor for the Sun Belt Conference becoming the blossoming major FBS Superconference
I've been in Troy's stadium. Back when it was smaller. lol
Back when it was called Movie Gallery stadium?
@@c-dogg9188 Ha ha. Actually before that. Back when they were 1-AA/FCS. lol
@@SuperSirianRigel 🙂
I guess the MAC and the CUSA FBS stadiums will be eventually next,not to forget the non affiliated,independent FBS teams also.
I think the coloured seats in the stadiums are the student section.
Coastal Carolina is Astro turf not proper grass!! It’s not a bad stadium in person, but is rlly close to the road but the road is blocked during games
Louisiana’s stadium looks like it could easily be expanded into an 80K+ stadium. Pretty nice
Watching so many of these, I prefer a lot of these small school stadiums to the power conferences. So many big schools just expand, expand and expand more and it often isn't pleasing to the eyes.
These stadiums you can sit upper bowl and not be a mile away. It’s an amazing vantage point view wise and still extremely close to the field. Can’t beat it.
Hi, Louisiana-Lafayette student here. I regret to inform everyone that the food scene at Cajun Field is absolutely awful. I have had better food at high school basketball games. That being said, games are a blast to watch there, especially with a full house. Go Cajuns, Sun Belt Champs 2021!
Congrats.
The bowl game at Coastal should move to the Georgia Southern stadium. While Statesboro is a little bit of a drive from Savannah, the Savannah area is a much nicer place to visit than the Myrtle Beach area.
Just for your info, it's Game Day in the US.
Georgia Southern: the prettiest stadium in college football
Appalachian State: when’s the last time you won the Sun Belt? 🤣😂🤣🤣😂
Oh only our first year in the FBS. And beaten y’all plenty of times. :) hail southern.
Georgia Southern: Got Six?
@@ccurry6588 call me when you go undefeated in bowl games
@@JohnHillRSNStudios Call me when yall have an undefeated season...
2 years ago
Please next Turkish Super League (Süper Lig) 2021/22 stadiums
App State's is beautiful and Coastal's newer stadium looks dope.
I've been in Boone NC once. App State probably has one of the most beautiful locations in the eastern United States. They're surrounded by the mountains, grassy areas are throughout the campus area of town, and some of the campus buildings are older fashioned brick (exterior), not metal and glass or concrete. Can't imagine what the football atmosphere must be like.
@@thunderbird1921 Nothing like gameday in Boone. (If you can find a place to park)
Coastal are the chanticleers pronounced shanticleers. Shhhh like quiet. And it’s a fighting rooster, Coastal used to be part of University of South Carolina hence the fighting rooster.
I’ve never been this early to a video on my recommended
Do you think you will ever do a SWAC conference video?
I think I'll go through all the FCS conferences eventually.
Marshall?
It called Howard's Knob because a loyalist settler in the area hid on the mountain during the revolutionary war. So they named the mountain after his knob.
Can you do Mountain West College Football stadium?
why such a old picture for astate the field looks nothing like this anymore
Do the Mid American Conference (MAC) stadiums!
Um, the Braves moved out of Turner Field because the lease was up, and they couldn't strike a deal to get necessary improvements, hardly questionable. One major thing that plagued Turner Field, as well as its predecessor, Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, was the lack of transit options; the city had a chance to run a rapid rail line either to the stadium or to run by it, but chose not to (politics, I guess). Plus, it pretty much backed up to a residential section of town, which meant no chance for additional development, something that is not a problem with the new location, the Cumberland Mall area of Cobb County (which has an Atlanta zip code, so technically, the Braves are still in Atlanta). The so-called "under the table" dealings that brought the Brave to Cobb County were no different than what happened to bring the Braves to Atlanta from Milwaukee in the first place; nothing illegal, just pissed off fans and taxpayers (it did get the county commission chairman voted out of office, if it makes people feel any better :-D)
He didn’t call it illegal, he called it questionable. Also, still waiting to see the rail system make it to Smyrna. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.
@@evanw7925 I didn’t mean to imply that he said illegal, if that’s what you thought. And yeah, there may have been some “secret” meetings, but a lot of deals are made that way. But the Braves weren’t going to renew their lease, not without some improvements to Turner Field, which the city didn’t want to pay for. As for Smyrna getting a MARTA tail line, I’m with you; I’ll believe it when I see it. The only way I see Smyrna getting a rail line is if CobbLinc puts in light rail, and even then, it would just be within the county, it wouldn’t link up with MARTA. That was never really in the plans for MARTA anyway, one of the reasons Cobb voted it down.
He was joking about Coastal “growing teal colored grass” right?
ion think he was kidding bro forgot about reef but i love this channel so no harm shoutout to bro for making amazing content
terf lmaoooo
I sure hope he was. It's called the 'Surf Turf'
@@danielr4640 Central Arkansas (FCS Southland Conference) has purple and gray striped turf.
@@danielr4640 The Brooks Stadium has a Teal-colored turf, which is unusual for the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers to face the 9 other Sun Belt Conference Teams, one of them is the Louisiana-Lafayette Raging Cajuns, and soon, the likes of the UCF Golden Knights and the Houston Cougars from the American Athletic Conference, the TCU Horned Frogs from the Big 12 Conference, the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles and the UTSA Roadrunners from Conference USA, and the FBS Independent Liberty Flames. The dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members led by the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners, who are joining the Southeastern Conference, could become a factor for the escalation of the Sun Belt Conference as the newest major FBS Superconference
imagine being stuck in traffic on gameday at coastal and a thrown away pass casually lands in your car
