Not a bad stadium for the fans but bad for the TV crew. No house cabling and a tiny two-tiered booth.
Having said all this, I enjoyed the time with my husband, and supporting Florida State in their win over Southern Miss.
Great hospitality, great experience, but this stadium is pretty outdated. Can't say it was bad, though. Go Noles.
We drove all the way from the Orlando area to support the Florida State Seminoles. We congratulate them on their win, and thank Coach Haggins for all he did. As for the Stadium,..it, and the surrounding parking lot and grounds seemed old and in need of repair. The ramps in the stadium are too steep, and the 2nd story corridor is "cut-off" by a fence that impedes walking completely around that floor. We had to enter the stadium seat area, go down, and back up, then over to our seats in the newer end-zone nearest I-20. I then had to go back down to the 1st floor, to get to a restroom, via a (truly) dark stairwell. (My husband went later, and said they were putting makeshift lights in the stairwell.) When we first arrived, my husband went on to find our seats, while I went to the restroom. When I came out, not one person could tell me where our seats were. I literally guessed and fortunately was right. There was no sign with our section number. My personal suggestion would be for them to go and observe newer stadiums, tear this one down, and build a whole new one. If you build it, they will come.
This year I finally realized how out dated our stadium is. I've shared many experiences and have had many memories made around this stadium. This time I noticed small things that never stuck out before like the bathroom facilities. There are small with lines that stretch a mile long. No heat once inside which is a big deal when your at an Independence bowl game and the weather is traditionally horrible on which even day it is played. The big thing was that everything was CASH ONLY! That is a huge deal. I can't imagine how much money was lost due to the fact that people couldn't pay $3 for a 10oz hot chocolate because all they brought was their debit/CC. Beer sales were surely down as well. Of course I'll go back again because I support ALL bowl games but geez guys, catch up with the times.
I so enjoyed the inside of this stadium, but it needs more than one entrance and exit when the game is over
