If Rice stadium was built on campus at Texas A&M or Texas it would be considered the best stadium in America. There’s not a bad seat in the stadium being purpose built for football.
When they built the stadium, Rice actually had a good football program. They needed a large stadium to stand toe-to-toe with their southwest conference colleagues like A&M and UT
Just an FYI on all of these academic buildings which are attached to stadiums. The schools get tax credits and can get creative accounting-wise by renovating their stadiums by inserting some type of academic component (classrooms, study halls, meeting places, etc.). It's quite interesting how schools can funnel so much money into stadium renovations, but they are able to get by with it due to these little quirks.
This is not a pro-stadium. The college owns it. They can’t just demand funds from the city/state to replace it. The kind of funds needed to replace it is not possible. They just don’t draw right now… if they start to draw again.. it will fill again. You are comparing a college stadium to a pro-stadium. Big difference simply because who owns it.
Exactly. Rice University is pretty much the Northwestern of the south, and they simply put too much emphasis on actual academics that they aren't going to spend eight to nine figures for a whole new football stadium. It's actually sad that such a college gets ridiculed for actually prioritizing academics.
I'll say this: If there is anything about the stadium that is hurting the program, it IS that its size is probably the only thing keeping Rice at the 1-A/FBS level when by this point they really should be at 1-AA/FCS. I know a lot of old alums probably don't want to hear that, but the SWC is gone, and when you can't ever win in the AAC or Conference USA, it's time to suggest you just don't have the capacity to be at college football's top level.
Back in the 50s and 40s rice football was Houston. My grandfather had season tickets on the 50 yard line. They had great football teams in the southwest Conference. Even in the 70s they had great games.
I've been to Rice Stadium. I love the floor of the concession area, it has all these cool small blue and white rocks in it, it looks amazing. Rice has phone towers on the visiting side and the phone reception was great. When I went last year the World Series was going on, so I was tracking the baseball game while I was watching the Rice game vs. FIU. It was a fairly cheap ticket to see Division 1 football, and I had a great time. The parking is good. My only gripe is the concessions, they need more BBQ. (BBQ tacos, brisket sandwiches, brisket nachos, brisket tacos, etc.)
My dad was an engineering student at Rice and part of his corriculum was to help construct the stadium. Construction was completed in 9 months, it was a prototype for new stadiums, and it still stands today.
So what, I been going there for 50 years And don't see anything wrong with it. The city if Houston subsidized it originally and it was called Houston Stadium. That is why it is so large. The University of Houston also played there until the astrodome was built. Since there were no pro teams in town there were large crowds for the College teams.
@@jamesfields2916in the 1950s there were no major professional leagues stadiums. Thus guy doesn't understand that rice schedules houston and Texas and has large crowds at times that wouldn't fit into a small stadium. There are ncaa attendance minimums for division 1 fbs football and having an occasional huge crowd to help the Rice meet them, since they have such a small student body and so much competition in Houston.
@@Sam2sham I think it has been said you could fit every Rice graduate ever into the stadium.Texas, Texas AM and Arkansas always brought in big crowds. Houston played Texas at Rice Stadium in the late 70s and sold it out.
@@Sam2sham the stadium Rice was in originally was a 37,000 seat stadium that has been converted into the track stadium. They need to size down to 25-35,000.

This video would be a lot shorter if you could keep repeating yourself. If you have to keep from repeating yourself to stretch this thing out, maybe you shouldn’t do the video at all!
USF will have 6 fans at the stadium for when they play Alabama. USF is awful and killed any momentum they had years ago. Hope the Alabama fans enjoy the weather, though.
This is actually one of my favorite stadiums in college football. A lot of good memories there. My brother and I used to run that stadium for training.
Rice should do a total renovation. Remove the upper decks and the tarped-off end zone. Modernize the seating with chairbacks on the home side, add a new pressbox, and create some suites on the press box side.
It is a school of less than 5000 students with high admissions standards. In a city and suburban area of 5+ million people they can't fill up the lower bowel. Rice wants to live in the past (SWC) and 50 years ago. See this past Saturday against Texas and how they got blown out. Worry about academics.
There are no tarps in Rice Stadium. Not now, not last year. It's been about three years now that they were simply removed. They let the kids play on the nice soft concrete, which is how it should be.
The Houston Roughnecks of the XFL might play there this coming season due to TDECU stadium being renovated the spring. Also I think the upper decks of rice stadium no-longer support huge crowds due to low maintenance.
Few people may remember, but Rice Stadium was actually the site of Super Bowl VIII in January 1974 (The Astrodome was too small with only 50,000 capacity). That was the Dolphins winning their second straight Super Bowl in the year after their 17-0 perfect season.
Metal concerts... saw Pink Floyd. Saw my first game there. They took parts of the parking lot for on campus use. Good views of the city. Take a look at baseball field. Oh it was home to old Bluebonnet Bowl
Seriously? Rice Stadium is a great football venue, and quite historic as well. I've never heard anybody call it ugly or claim that it's an eye sore! In the 50's when it was built, Rice was the only game in town, and they drew well. They needed a big stadium.
My High school team plays a game there EVERY YEAR. It's bad, really bad, the floors are a blue plastic substance, the concessions are made out of plywood, the seats are uncomfortable, some of my friends on the fb team say that the playing surface (turf) has no rubber in it, if any, so, I can say, after visiting it for the past 3 years, yes, it's really bad. Oh and did I mention that HALF OF THE UPPER DECK IS UNSTABLE?! Yes, this is a hot steaming hunk of actual garbage, and if anybody tells you otherwise, they haven't been there. Even with tradition, and other things the fact that this stadium remains open amazes me. There are constantly more UH fans the Rice fans at the Bayou Bucket, and honestly, my highschool games get more attendance than actual rice football.
The floor of the concourse is blue fleck epoxy. Yes, the concession stands are plywood. The bleachers are better now (aluminum) than they were when they were the original splintery redwood, and there are chair-back seats for people who pay for more than general admission. The playing surface is a state of the art Astroturf long-fiber surface with wood infill - not the nasty ground up tires that gets insanely hot in the sun. The upper deck is rock-solid - I don't know what you're hearing, but it's wrong. The upper decks are largely closed, because there isn't the attendance pressure to put people up there. The east upper side is closed except for one family that has purchased season tickets in the same spot since the stadium opened in 1950. They understand that there are no concessions up there. They don't want to give up those seats. That's pretty cool.
Yeah Hawaii NEEDS to break ground and build a new stadium at some point. They can’t keep pitching recruits they will get to be in Hawaii. That’s going to get old. Rice on the other hand think they should go the San Jose route and have stands all on 1 side.
I am a little surprised at the state of Rice Stadium. Given how football mad Texas is. I wonder why they have not made upgrading the stadium a bigger priority. They are not a poor school and I suspect they have their own deep-pocked supporters. If SMU can generate enough support for them to forgo any money they would get from media rights as the price to get into one of the Power 5 conferences, then surely Rice could afford a significant redevelopment. Of course, I know nothing about RIce and they may not have the leadership willing to engage in such activities.
In Hawaii, the salt air has corroded the steel structure so it has become unsafe. They did not build it out of concrete. I think the explanation was there was not adequate concrete supply in Hawaii when it was built. So they had to use steel and corrosion protection available (late 50's??) was not good enough. I guess they are trying to find financing to demolish it.
At Rice, baseball is the main sport. Football is a joke. This is the reason why Texas and Houston love playing them. Rice, Rutgers, Vandy, Kansas, Northwestern, and Stanford should play on the same conference. Who would outsmart each other the most?
G5 SBC vs American athletic conference teams that stay coastalcarliona app state , JMU lousiana and ark state for sunbelt and take out ulmoore GA state, Georgia southern and Texas state and odu For the American athletic take out southern Florida and all the other wrose teams . Add WVU into sunbelt Iowa state, North Dakota state , Virginia in the sunbelt For the American athletic add Pitt Pennstate Fresno State Boise State . And maybe move coastal to the American athletic with a combined non conference championship to decide who makes it in the CFP playoffs.
All of the concourse level restrooms have been renovated in the last two years. Modern facilities with air conditioning. The upper level restrooms have not been renovated, but the upper levels are largely considered closed. The east upper deck IS closed, except for one family that is still sitting in the season tickets purchased when the stadium opened in 1950, and carried on to this day.
Baylor hasn't been good since Matt Rule Left the coastalcarliona vs UCLA was a much better game yes we lost to UCLA but they are a really good football team then Baylor. Even coastal would beat the majority of the current Big 12 Football teams . But some of these teams need to be put in a new conference, the Mack and Mountain West and military schools get put into the g4 conference with its own playoffs with the military school also getting a spereat playoffs and fsc would be considered g3 University. For the new g4 team that get added all the meac schools including Rice and Hawaii including the American conference, conference usa, mountain west . Match ups g4 big boy playoffs winners of mountain west, meac and Conference Usa and the American in the g4 good year bowl and of course Miltary conference would have army air forces Citadel , samhouston army, navy and other military schools and if there not enough teams then invite the hbcu and ivy league schools and build the playoffs around those three schools.
He should do a video on the College model Vs. The NFL model of football. Socialism Vs. Capitalism.

I think the Depressed Ginger would have an interesting point of view, he seems to keep making these pro MAGA pieces.

Use to clean that stadium its old and has alot of history. Have to remember Rice put Academics first. The Field house has banners but they are. academic achievements of rice. students
Rice's unnecessarily large stadium is a big part of why they're one of my favorite teams to use in Dynasty mode in NCAA football games.
I did them on Dynasty. That stadium was rocking when I built them into contenders.
I'm trying them out on NCAA 25!

Can’t we just keep some classics Bro….
That’s what I’m saying!!! I bet this stadium could be turned around with a few million dollar renovations
I find this program and stadium to be charming. They also have JT Daniels, a QB that’s been there since the stadium was built!

You’re probably a Joe Biden lover
Couldn’t agree with you more !
Rice needs a stadium with capacity of 30 - 35K max. Even concert tours that can sell out 50K are not going there.
How is Cal State Fullerton's stadium not the most useless stadium? At least Rice still has a football team.
Hawaii's stadium looks more like a giant high school stadium i say that because of the stands that resemble steel or metal bleachers
I am going to Rice stadium this weekend and really like the looks of the place.

Raymond James Stadium is far from useless. Like Alligent Stadium, it was not built for college football, as the primary tenant is the NFL.
It’s just the tenant, USF, is useless.
The University had their basketball arena renovated just 3 years ago.
3:40 - The rendering looks like something off a Simpson's episode.
Constant reminders of past relevance in the face of current multiple decades of irrelevance is indeed not a good look.

I dont know about useless. Ive been to several games out there: great views and easy to walk up to. What would help is knocking down the upper decks.
