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
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.
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!!
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 the Zephyr! Got to go to Ponchartrain Beach for my birthday every year. This is where the Ragin Cajun ended up when the park shut down: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steamin%27_Demon
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.
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
I have a passion for college football stadiums , their different locations throughout the contiguous United States and their different characteristics!
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.
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
@@bustercherry9643 His name was actually was Pierce Oliver "Kidd" Brewer. He was a Duke Grad who coached Appalachian State to an undefeated and un-scored on season in the 1930s. He also was a big land developer which got him into some trouble. He served 18 months in prison for "bid-rigging."
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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
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.
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
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.
I love how in this, and all the videos I've seen, he's never negative. "Not out of the ordinary" is as savage as it gets. I particularly enjoy when he mentions some aspect of the stadium that the internet would usually criticize mercilessly, but he adds "but I like it!" 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
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!
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.
I went and looked, there are more than you’d think
Somebody better not tell him about the Big West and Rice
@@barackobama9272 don’t forget about that Cinderella Fresno st season they won CWS

@@lordrayden3045 Compared to other sports, that’s certainly true.
something about this guy covering stadiums in Georgia really puts me at ease
Nobody understands my love for stadiums, plus the sarcasm NEVER misses!
I played football at Troy Univ at Troy Stadium. Nice to see the most recent renovations..
As an App State grad, I'm glad your coach elected to give up a safety yesterday. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Go Troy!!! SBC Champs!!!
@@aaronmcmichael570 Congrats, crazy season in Sun Belt. JMU is going to make things really interesting.
Then you would know it’s called The Vet and not Troy Stadium
@@PliableScissors even if he didn’t opt for the safety, it would’ve just given App more time to get the Hail Mary anyways.

Can you please tell me what song you use in your videos please 🙏
I guess the MAC and the CUSA FBS stadiums will be eventually next,not to forget the non affiliated,independent FBS teams also.
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 :)
So, Mr. WWOS... what are you asking Chanticleer for this year??
Looking forward when you do the PAC 12 stadiums.
Me too 🌲🔱
I LOVE YOUR CIDS
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.
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
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.
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.
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
They get the different colors on the field by using paint or artificial turf. For coastal Carolina they use artificial turf
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 🙂
Louisiana’s stadium looks like it could easily be expanded into an 80K+ stadium. Pretty nice
I’ve been to Cajun field a few times before
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
*PLZ* Re do this for 2022 bc we added new TEAMS GÔ SUNBELT!
Ummmmmm. Loved your video. But over here in the hills we don’t brew our moonshine. 😂😂
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.
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
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?
Where is the CUSA video?
It was going to be this weeks video, but I ran out of time. That's why I went with the independents. So, next week.
Please next Turkish Super League (Süper Lig) 2021/22 stadiums
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

I love how in this, and all the videos I've seen, he's never negative. "Not out of the ordinary" is as savage as it gets. I particularly enjoy when he mentions some aspect of the stadium that the internet would usually criticize mercilessly, but he adds "but I like it!"
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 😂
Match Day?
Will need to update all of these stadiums by 2023.
Do the Mac Conference please (mid American conference)
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
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.
