@@RockSmithStudio The dissolution of the Big 12 Conference due to the mass exodus of all 10 members could become a factor for the addition of the Kansas Jayhawks, which would trigger the departure of their only non-football school; the Wichita State Shockers, who would eventually join the Big East Conference, and the Cincinnati Bearcats, who would eventually join the Atlantic Coast Conference
I go to as many CFB stadiums as I can during my work travels, and Nippert is my favorite "small" stadium. It's a terrific mix of architecture and a great environment for football.
It's a great place to watch a game, and blends in with the campus about as well as a stadium can. I've attended games at around 25 pro and college stadiums, and Nippert is one of my favorites.
East Carolina fan here. Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium was actually renovated in 2019, where they added a giant 5 level tower on the side opposite to the upper deck that has about a thousand luxury seats and a press box. Also I believe Tulsa’s nickname is the Golden Hurricane due to the massive amount of wheat fields in the area, but I’m not 100% sure about that.
Originally, Tulsa wanted to be called the golden tornadoes, which makes sense since Tulsa is located in Tornado Alley. However, Georgia Tech was using the name at the time, so they went with Golden Hurricane instead.
FYI: the American Athletic Conference came from the infamous split of the Big East Conference in the aftermath of its infamous realignment from 2010 to 2013.
@@kamelkadri2843 as a fan of an sec team, not to many of us are thrilled about this… On the other hand, talks of the SEC bringing in more teams to try and crush NCAA. Ehh I could go for that. If Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC, I read somewhere that the SEC will be getting more money then the NCAA. That’s saying a lot right there.
@Rowdy Jr -- In the NFL, northern Indianapolis is in the South Division, and for many years (pre-2002), Atlanta was in the "West" division, and Arizona was in the "East" Division!
I’m from Cincinnati and went to UC. The stadium is the coolest in the country by far. It totally blends in with the surroundings and is completely sunken below the rest of the campus
I went to go watch a game at the Memphis Liberty Bowl prior to the pandemic. Let me tell you, that place gets wild. The atmosphere is intense/fantastic and the views are nice. There is nothing quite like college football in the south.
Season ticket holder here, I can confirm this. Memphis fans are diehard fans. When it comes to views on the upper bits in the south west corner you can see The Memphis skyline in the distance
The Liberty Bowl was renovated a few years ago giving fold down seats to the lower sections and a new Jumbotron video board, but it’s a great old school stadium and with the care it’s undergone I think it’s aged like fine wine! Go Tigers! Edit: Its also getting some big new renovations for upcoming seasons which include an outdoor bar with food service outside the press box, and another bar and patio near the south end zone! Edit: After a new name rights agreement, Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium will be renamed to Simmons Bank Memorial Stadium, and will undergo a total overhaul
Homie killed it when said “in this conference you have the navy and a team called the pirates but the one with a ship in its stadium is the bulls, that’s a load of Bull ship” 🤣🤣🤣
7:23 That is the F/A-18 Hornet and the Paint scheme is a flight demo team for the US Navy known as the Blue Angels. I was born and raised in Florida. One time my family vacationed in Pensacola Florida and one day we saw the Blue Angels practicing over the city. It was impressive the maneuvers these guys were pulling off. I was able to see their famous 1-4 Tight Diamond formation. Fun Fact: United States Navy has the biggest Air Force then the actual United States Air Force. Thanks for these awesome stadium videos. Love them!!!
What I was thinking. Has he never heard of the Blue Angels? Also, another fun fact: The US actually has the TWO largest airforces in the world. The USN and the USAF each are larger than any other countries' fleet in the world. That's what happens when your individual ships have a larger air fleet than entire nations.
Nippert Stadium is a fantastic venue. The older building at the end is Schmidlapp Hall, once the home of the Army ROTC detachment and now rehearsal space for UC's world-renowned College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). Nippert was also the first home of the Cincinnati Bengals prior to the completion of Riverfront Stadium.
The video you have of ECU's stadium "Dowdy Fickland Stadium" needs updating. A $58 million press box/club seating/ luxury boxes and exterior facade have been added several years ago 🏴☠️
Tell me about it, I’ve been waiting for him to get to the athletic conference and he just totally misses on his presentation for Dowdy Ficklin Stadium.
Yeah stinks. The club building on the South side is about 10x the size now. It's about a section wider on each end than the purple sections on that side, and about twice as tall.
Tulane Stadium the first one. Was torn down. And held a couple of Super Bowls. And some of the stadiums shown in your videos in the U.S. Hosted the NFL, WFL,USFL and the CFL. San Antonio was only for the CFL.
East Carolina's stadium had a $60 Million renovation in 2019 with a new press box, luxury suites, and 1,000 seats, but the footage shown in this video is from before that renovation.
I've always loved stadiums. I've been lucky enough to work for a company (Monster Jam) that allows me to visit alot of US stadiums.. I really love and appreciate this channel. Awesome content! Do more high school football stadiums! Maybe basketball arenas too, might be interesting.
They called it AAC so it would be first in a list of conferences. Also, Boise State and San Diego State were about to join, but later backed out, so it would have stretched across the continent.
More incentive for the AAC to get them now, with future vacancies. I like the thought of that regular competition, but that's a lot of travel involved for everyone, fans included..
I have been to two CFB games in my life and one of them was at the Bounce House. The experience I had there was a 10/10. The crowd was electric and the stadium was shaking after every big play. It was truly surreal.
The UCf stadium was originally called bright networks stadiums when it was sponsored by a cable company. The cable company got bough out and was changed to spectrum stadium . The bounce house was a nickname given to the stadium because it would physically shake and bounce when all of the people jumped up and down . After the sponsorship eventually ran out , the name was officially named to the bounce house. I really enjoyed the video and was waiting for you to get to this conference because I support UCF
Navy-Marine Corps Stadium has names of the major battles the Navy & Marine Corps fought over time on the upper deck facade. There’s talk of Temple getting their own campus or off campus stadium but finding enough land & funding it are issues. Reason Tulsa is called ‘Golden Hurricanes’ is differentiate themselves from the Miami Hurricanes & avoid any copywrite infringement.
That plane outside the Navy stadium is in the colors of the Blue Angels, a famous group of Navy Planes that do airshows and stuff. The Navy does more than just aircraft carriers, they have a lot of pilots who fly the actual planes themselves on the carriers.
Fun fact: Some may remember the "Big Sombrero" in Tampa, Florida. Opened in '67, demolished in '99. The Liberty Bowl Stadium opened in '65, designed by the same architectures, was dubbed the "Little Sombrero." Comparing old photos, before updates at both locations, they were practically identical. With the exceptions being original, overall capacity (64,000 vs 71,000) and location, of course.
Correction for Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.The home of the University of Memphis Tigers. Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium has hosted 6 North American outdoor professional football teams.

It was originally Bright House Stadium (as seen in the video), then Spectrum Stadium after a corporate name change (cable company). Now it actually is called Bounce House.
@@gregsells8549 UCFs stadium looks nothing like the one shown on here though it’s missing ALOT , there’s a jumbotron now not a score board and the seating area along the side Lines is way different, they have sweets now on the field and in the stands
As a U.S. Navy Veteran, the jet outside of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is I believe a retried or replica F/A 18 Hornet or Super Hornet of the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron or better known as The Blue Angels.
You have old footage of Dowdy and I have never heard that song in my life. I've traveled all over the south watching college football and Rowdy Dowdy purple chairback seats are the best place to watch a game.
Tulsa grad here! A fun fact: that road behind the mound of earth is 11th Street, but most people know it by its other name: historic Route 66. I had an apartment near the stadium and it was nice to be able to walk to games all the time.
Indeed Gerald R. Ford served as Vice President of the United States; but he did achieve a higher office. He was the 38th President of the United States.
Thanks for another video. I've always thought that Navy second deck of seats were sit too far back. Should've been moved forward a little to create more of a overhang with the first deck....The same with SMU. The second level of seating should've been raised up like a true second deck....USF and Temple need their own stadiums. Something similar in design to Tulane's would work....Also, Memphis needs a new stadium too.
When you are bounded left and right by Maryland State buildings (Annapolis is the capital) and have to get the funds for modifying the building from the DOD, its not going to change anytime soon. It was built with that old school style layout.
Awesome video! I was a student at UCF when we opened our on-campus football stadium simultaneously with our basketball arena in 2007! What a great time in my life!
Love the channel! UCF just announced plans to expand their stadium. They included concept pictures in the release. You should definitely check them out!
Just to correct the record on the Memphis segment, he stated The University of Memphis has been in the Liberty Bowl since 1965 "AKA the beginning". I don't know if he was referring to the Tigers' "beginning" or the Liberty BOWL's beginning, but either way he is incorrect. The "Beginning" of the Memphis Tigers was 1912. The Beginning of the "Liberty Bowl" was in Philadelphia, and moved to Memphis in 1965. The Tigers started playing on campus in 1912, moved to Crump Stadium in the 1930s, and finally the Liberty Bowl in 1965. But this dude had some humor in his comments I appreciated. All-in-all, good job.
"Yes in this conference there's the Navy, and a team called the Pirates, but the one with the ship in their stadium are the Bulls. What a load of bullshit!" LOLOLOLOLOL that was hilarious
Back when the bounce house first opened it would bounce even more. I was like 11 or 12 and would be terrified the stadium would collapse lol. You could get some serious air time if you timed your jump correctly. They've since reinforced the structure substantially so it doesn't bounce like it used to, but if you ever watch a UCF game on TV you'll notice just how much the camera shakes compared to a game in most places.
Gerald Ford-Gerald R. Ford, that is, not the guy Gerald J. Ford Stadium was named after-was President of the United States for about 2½ years after having a cup of coffee as Vice President.
UCFs stadium looks nothing like the one shown on here, it’s missing ALOT , there’s a jumbotron now not a score board and the seating area along the side Lines is way different, they have sweets now on the field and in the stands , plus a lot around the stadium too that is new .( ps.. your off by about a little over 1k on the capacity too
I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting the Liberty Bowl this past December for the game. And while it is a historic stadium and had a small renovation recently, but otherwise it isn’t a good stadium, the ramps to the upper decks are horribly placed, and the bathrooms are ancient. Otherwise the energy and game day experience is amazing there, just needs some modernization in certain parts.
Looks like you found outdated footage of East Carolina University’s stadium. In 2019 they added a five story press box and luxury suites adding 1000 luxury seats. This addition changed the look significantly from both inside and outside. With that said “thumbs up”.on the rowdy Dowdy rap!
You are incorrect about the UCF stadium ... "Bounce House" is the nickname (along with "the Wok" for the effect of having noon-time kickoffs in central Florida) ... it was originally known as Bright House Networks Stadium, then Spectrum Stadium (when Charter Communications bought out and renamed Bright House Networks), and is NOW (as of May 31, 2022) FBC Mortgage Stadium under the new naming rights contract
Fun Fact about the Bounce House: On opening night they ran out of water bottles, and didn't have any drink fountains, so more than 30 people got hospitalised with heatstroke
You’re off on the pro team tenures in the Liberty Bowl, the WFL Southmen/Grizzlies lasted for 2 seasons, the USFL Showboats lasted 2 seasons as well, while the CFL Mad Dogs and XFL Maniaxs lasted only one season each in Memphis.
I went to Temple and we absolutely hated the fact that the stadium wasn't on campus. That's why there were very low attendances on "regular" games compared to the basketball games
Tulsa was trying to use Golden Tornado, but Georgia Tech was using the nickname at that time. They went with Golden Hurricane after that. I believe it was named after a dust storm.
Nippert Stadium one of the most underrated and most unique in CFB for sure
I completely agree. I think if Cincy gets to the ACC, it'll be more appreciate nationwide
It’s one of my favorite stadiums I’ve visited. I always recommend people go.

As a native Memphian, I’ve always liked the Liberty Bowl. Not a bad seat in the house. Nothing amazing, but certainly a solid football viewing venue.
it’s a beauty and so underrated
Only complaint is the food options givin' how awesome Memphis' food options around the city.
In the winter it turns into a wind tunnel
As a fellow Memphian I agree

Love the channel! UCF just announced plans to expand their stadium. They included concept pictures in the release. You should definitely check them out!
Just to correct the record on the Memphis segment, he stated The University of Memphis has been in the Liberty Bowl since 1965 "AKA the beginning". I don't know if he was referring to the Tigers' "beginning" or the Liberty BOWL's beginning, but either way he is incorrect. The "Beginning" of the Memphis Tigers was 1912. The Beginning of the "Liberty Bowl" was in Philadelphia, and moved to Memphis in 1965. The Tigers started playing on campus in 1912, moved to Crump Stadium in the 1930s, and finally the Liberty Bowl in 1965.
But this dude had some humor in his comments I appreciated. All-in-all, good job.
"Yes in this conference there's the Navy, and a team called the Pirates, but the one with the ship in their stadium are the Bulls. What a load of bullshit!" LOLOLOLOLOL that was hilarious
Nice call. I laughed out loud.
USF, Temple and Memphis play in rented stadium.
Back when the bounce house first opened it would bounce even more. I was like 11 or 12 and would be terrified the stadium would collapse lol. You could get some serious air time if you timed your jump correctly. They've since reinforced the structure substantially so it doesn't bounce like it used to, but if you ever watch a UCF game on TV you'll notice just how much the camera shakes compared to a game in most places.
Don’t quote me on this but I think mr beast sometimes films at the ECU stadium
Thanks as I now live 30 minutes from Raymond James Stadium!
Gerald Ford-Gerald R. Ford, that is, not the guy Gerald J. Ford Stadium was named after-was President of the United States for about 2½ years after having a cup of coffee as Vice President.
Glad someone else heard the same thing and was like, WTF?
A good amount of former Conference USA schools went to the American Athletic Conference 7 years ago when it first started.
UCFs stadium looks nothing like the one shown on here, it’s missing ALOT , there’s a jumbotron now not a score board and the seating area along the side Lines is way different, they have sweets now on the field and in the stands , plus a lot around the stadium too that is new .( ps.. your off by about a little over 1k on the capacity too
I like it a lot. Welcome to the Big 12. Go Cyclones!
Fun fact about the bounce house: the 50 yard line, lines up with historic Launch Pad 39 A at Kennedy Space Center
Crazy how a majority of the GO5 AAC stadiums are just as big if not bigger than a lot of top tier European soccer league stadium
I had the wonderful opportunity of visiting the Liberty Bowl this past December for the game. And while it is a historic stadium and had a small renovation recently, but otherwise it isn’t a good stadium, the ramps to the upper decks are horribly placed, and the bathrooms are ancient. Otherwise the energy and game day experience is amazing there, just needs some modernization in certain parts.
Once COVID is over I’m buying my tickets to the Dougie McNugget concert
daily dose of stadium therapy
ECU is natural grass stadium and you use the remodeled stadium with the new press box and club level.
Looks like you found outdated footage of East Carolina University’s stadium. In 2019 they added a five story press box and luxury suites adding 1000 luxury seats. This addition changed the look significantly from both inside and outside. With that said “thumbs up”.on the rowdy Dowdy rap!
We do get a lot of sideways rain here in Houston.
Can you do the midAmerican conference aka MAC please next
can you do one of the spanish football league too?
I'm a UH alum, but I really like Navy's stadium. Quite impressive. UH's stadium is way too gray. Needs a lot more red inside.
nippert stadium is so fucking sick man like fr fr. it shows the cincy skyline and the campus is beautiful.
THANK you brother. GO EAST CAROLINA
You are incorrect about the UCF stadium ... "Bounce House" is the nickname (along with "the Wok" for the effect of having noon-time kickoffs in central Florida) ... it was originally known as Bright House Networks Stadium, then Spectrum Stadium (when Charter Communications bought out and renamed Bright House Networks), and is NOW (as of May 31, 2022) FBC Mortgage Stadium under the new naming rights contract
Tulane football yulaman stadium Nov 24 AAC championships 2023 11-1 win 🎉
its the AAC so when they list the conferences they can be ahead of the ACC in alphabetical order and share the same geographical footprint
Forgot to mention that East Carolina isn't a state (Rest of you probably know which school I went to...)
Do Mexican Baseball Stadiums (include LMB (summer league) and LMP (winter league) because they all have incredible stadiums) 🙌
When is the efl league 2 stadiums video coming? I support a team in that division
The jet at the navy stadium is a former jet used by the Blue Angels, an aerobatics flight squadron.
Fun Fact about the Bounce House: On opening night they ran out of water bottles, and didn't have any drink fountains, so more than 30 people got hospitalised with heatstroke
Can you do the MAC conference next
They should be next. They are the only FBS Conference left.
Golden hurricane is a reference to the dust storms of the dust bowl era.
You used the right Carolina! Yay!
You’re off on the pro team tenures in the Liberty Bowl, the WFL Southmen/Grizzlies lasted for 2 seasons, the USFL Showboats lasted 2 seasons as well, while the CFL Mad Dogs and XFL Maniaxs lasted only one season each in Memphis.
What's this song called please. I looked at the song in the description but that's not it
I went to Temple and we absolutely hated the fact that the stadium wasn't on campus. That's why there were very low attendances on "regular" games compared to the basketball games
Golden Hurricane is a reference to the massive dust stroms that would sweep through Oklahoma during the 1800s
Tulsa was trying to use Golden Tornado, but Georgia Tech was using the nickname at that time. They went with Golden Hurricane after that. I believe it was named after a dust storm.
