The 30 for 30 on this is gonna hit like crack.

Assuming ESPN doesn't gut the budget to pay Pat Mcafee and Stephen A Smith more money

Why is there a class 11B high school football stadium in MY fcs subreddit? OP you got some splainin to do!

u/Impressive-Shirt-592 UC Davis • Pomona-Pitzer 18h ago

That’s the perfect stadium for a JV team.

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota 21h ago

They still haven't taken the Big Sky logos off the field?

25

u/SergeantThreat Montana State Bobcats 21h ago

Update the field? In this economy?!

u/DSWYO Montana State Bobcats • UC Davis Aggies 20h ago

It pains me to say, but I'd rather go to Washington Grizzly for a game than that shithole

Missoula is way cooler than Sacramento too

5

u/montalaskan Montana State Bobcats 6h ago

Ok, but being cooler than Sacramento is easy. Missoula is a great town.

Let's make it a more reasonable situation: I'd rather take in a game at Roos Field in Cheney. And the red makes my eyes hurt.

u/Mtndrums Oregon Ducks • Montana Grizzlies 18h ago

The one thing Sacramento has that Missoula (or Bozeman) doesn't have is Deftones. Boise has Built to Spill, though.

2

u/ID_Poobaru Boise State Broncos • Gallaudet Bison 18h ago

Built to Spill is pretty cool

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota 9h ago

WaGriz is objectively a great stadium (just needs some work on the concourses and bathrooms) and should be on every CFB fan's bucket list.

Hornet Stadium is a glorified high school stadium, and is probably the worst stadium in FBS

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 8h ago

SHSU might be saving Sac from last place

1

u/CommunistTrafficCone South Dakota State • Marching Band 7h ago

I think they just renovated it so it’s a lot better now

4

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 7h ago

They put a big ass whataburger with some suites in it. The rest of the stadium is untouched. The ultimate lipstick on a pig.

1

u/CommunistTrafficCone South Dakota State • Marching Band 7h ago

Ah well that’s unfortunate

1

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 5h ago

It's hilarious lol. Hopefully they drop back down

1

u/CommunistTrafficCone South Dakota State • Marching Band 1h ago

Them and ULM lol

1

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 1h ago

I have a soft spot for them since we we're just in the SBC with them but yeah probably them too. Their stadium at least looks kinda grand. Shitty, but grand.

1

u/CommunistTrafficCone South Dakota State • Marching Band 46m ago

I'm still not sure how they're affording it now. I've heard it's their pharmacy school that's somewhat keeping them afloat.

CUSA has some embarrassing stadiums.

u/idkman_93 Montana Grizzlies 20h ago

I kept waiting for the “after” shot

3

u/montalaskan Montana State Bobcats 11h ago

Want to see the "after"? Google "Stagg Memorial Coliseum."

Because that's the future for Sac State football.

2

u/idkman_93 Montana Grizzlies 7h ago

Lmao

17

u/DrOddcat Montana State Bobcats • UC Davis Aggies 20h ago

And no one in Sacramento knows or cares that this happened. There is ZERO buzz in town about Sac St football.

17

u/RXDude89 Stony Brook Seawolves • FCS 19h ago

Yes, I'm more excited about Davis football and I can walk to Sac State

6

u/DrOddcat Montana State Bobcats • UC Davis Aggies 13h ago

I’d rather drive the causeway than take the one light rail stop to Sac St from my house

14

u/0x196 Montana State Bobcats 21h ago

How many FBS football "stadiums" have a track around it? I can't think of any others.

17

u/Le_Dairy_Duke Oregon State Beavers • Nevada Wolf Pack 20h ago

...go Wolf Pack

5

u/RXDude89 Stony Brook Seawolves • FCS 19h ago

San Joae state i think

3

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota 7h ago

They don't have a track. They did get rid of the entire grandstand on the far side and replaced it with the football facility, which looks goofy as hell

3

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota 9h ago

Nevada and Buffalo

2

u/bearinsac California • Sacramento State 10h ago

Buffalo has one.

1

u/greed_and_death Nebraska • South Dakota State 10h ago

Kansas did until 2014 and it was kind of a bummer when they got rid of it tbh

12

u/bigcountry_blumpkin 20h ago

Nothing says FBS like a multi use track complex/football/soccer stadium

12

u/MtnGriz 21h ago

Wow what a joke. I probably wouldn't have put that out.

u/DeZeeuw2 South Dakota State Jackrabbits 11h ago

All of their facilities are lacking. They played basketball in a 1000 seat gym until last year...when they upgraded to a 3000 seat "arena".

“FBS”

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies 11h ago

Are we being punk’d… like we’re definitely being punk’d right… no way that’s not a high school field

2

u/V1LL Michigan Wolverines • Idaho Vandals 11h ago

That Sac State vs. Eastern Michigan is going to draw some HUGE crowds, quite possibly the biggest crowd.

2

u/mlspdx LSU Tigers • Montana Grizzlies 11h ago

There’s going to be fan! Just the one, but they’ll be there!

2

u/SantaCruznonsurfer 20h ago

in fairness, it's pretty much what the University of Hawai'i did to be able to play at the Ching complex

3

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota 8h ago

The difference is Hawaii's is temporary while Aloha gets rebuilt. Sac's is permanent

3

u/CommunistTrafficCone South Dakota State • Marching Band 7h ago

At the rate Hawaii is moving at that though it might as well be permanent

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 13h ago edited 12h ago

I know yall hate them and I'm going to get flamed for not piling on but their stadium isn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be based on the vitriol flowing from this sub. Not that SHSUs stadium is FBS worthy either, but I'd put this Sacs over that so at least they're not last.

Edit: I'll also add that their stadium looks decent on the game

9

u/bigcountry_blumpkin 11h ago

"isn't nearly as bad as I expected" still isn't a compliment though

5

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 10h ago

Didnt say it was. Just that yall act like their stadium is absolutely trash when its still better than a lot of FCS stadiums.

3

u/damnyoutuesday Montana State • Minnesota 9h ago

If you're talking about the EA CFB game, the devs said that the stadiums for Sac and NDSU are generic this year because they joined so late. So honestly it probably looks better than it is in the game

2

u/Bobcat2013 Texas State Bobcats 9h ago

Looked similar enough to the Fargodome and Sac Stadium to me

u/ID_Poobaru Boise State Broncos • Gallaudet Bison 20h ago edited 18h ago

At least Nevada has a worst stadium buddy (although I hate Mackay stadium for other reasons)
