Bally’s Sports needs to go away
my favorite

Number 1... the Cowboys stadium's roof with a big hole in it...

--
Cowboys linebacker D.D. Lewis said the hole was there "so that God can watch his team." In reality, the stadium was slated to be indoors, but funding ran out before the project could be finished properly.

What about the NW stanchion at Giant Stadium (or more accurately, the ground beneath it)?

I think the Cards stadium is cooler than the Ford Field, although I've only seen Ford Field from photos

I can only gue$$ how the approved the new Soldier Field. Inside is very nice however the exterior looks like they landed a giant flying saucer in the old stadium, however a landmark which they kept are the vertical peristols ( i always forget the proper spelling). When an NFL fan sees them they know just where it is!! Yousta' be cool to see through them and see the boats on the lake.

Easily one of my least favorites. The way the sun shines in that stadium because of the hole in the roof really makes games hard to watch (and play).

And the old "..so God can watch his team" makes me want to :barf:

Only an idiot Cowboys fan would think that God would need a hole in a roof in order to watch a football game...

:D

I think it's a vast (get it?) difference between cool and a playground feature in a football stadium.

the best thing about the cards stadium pic is that it manages to capture all of the sth's from the asu day's in one shot. oh how i miss the select your seat at every home game times.
