Kenan Stadium actually is a mix of bowl seats and bleachers. The student section (west end zone) where access is free to enrolled students still has bleachers while the commercially ticketed sections on the two main stands and the section below the vip boxes behind the east end zone were retrofitted with bowl seats. It's a very pretty stadium especially for how closely integrated into the nice and shady campus it is, compared to others that are just surrounded by huge parking lots (looking at you, Carter-Finley)

Not sure if you're aware of this or not, but the ACC is unique in this particular regard. The ACC has a rule that mandates no structures devoted to athletics can stand taller than the university's academic and administrative based structures. Obviously, there are exceptions to this rule in the cases of Miami, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse because those stadiums aren't actually located on campus grounds. This is why all ACC stadiums are sunk into the ground. The lower halves of their bowl seats are below ground level. When you walk in to an ACC football stadium you have to walk down steps to reach your seats. Sinking the bowl seats below ground level allows schools the opportunity to possess equal numbers of seats (65K+) as all the other schools they compete with in the SEC, Big Ten, Big XII, and Pac 12 without the typical structures that are built into football stadiums surpassing the heights of academic & administrative buildings on campus.

I grew up in the area and have been to games several of these. Renovations in the past couple of decades have greatly changed the look of many of them, generally greatly improving the quality of the stadiums. Duke's stadium, Wallace Wade, for instance, used to be much "cheaper" looking. With a beat up cinder track and about 20% less seating as well as a much smaller press box tower. Honestly I had seen more impressive high school stadiums. Now .. it is still small, but it looks nice. Ditto with Wake Forest's stadium. It looks much nicer and tidier and slicker now than it used to.

[@interchangexVP3]

Bobby Dodd is the oldest FBS stadium, and Grant Field is the oldest continually used on-campus site for football. It's a bit of a hodgepodge, but the history makes it a lot cooler. Many colleges located in big cities have off-campus stadiums and share them with an NFL team (ahem, Miami). Their place has gotten a lot better, but it still looks like the Dolphins' joint, and the atmosphere stinks inside the stadium because of its cavernous dimensions for a college team and outside the stadium because college life is so distant.

Syracuse University nickname originally was the Saltine Warriors.

Lonnie McMillian was the name of the PC coach who first coined the "Death Valley" nickname in an interview with the Greenville News, post-game. "That place is like Death Valley, because my teams only go there to DIE". The goat story is hogwash. The Rock is actually from the desert in California. A graduate was there and brought it back to Coach Howard, who used it as a doorstop for several years. He told an assistant to take the rock and "put it somewhere". Coach was thinking something along the lines of the bottom of the Seneca River, but that assistant had a different idea. Despite a few vandalism attempts, it still sits atop the pedestal on the East endzone hill (grass, by the way).

@@conorcane1211 well yeah but most years their atmosphere is electric and the tomahawk chant should probably be mentioned

[@loganbolton8148]

Even though Kenan is a decently small stadium it has a really amazing game day atmosphere

[@albeattie4804]

These videos are excellent!

[@ADRgman]

Eventually go to the FCS ones

[@semipenguin]

This year, they will be welcoming in Southern Methodist University, Stanford, and Cal, to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Can't wait for the Big 12 video

The early stadium miami used was orange bowl but they tore it down and built the marlins stadium and miami had to move in with the dolphins.

Does it snow at Scott stadium rains there but doesn’t snow

Looking forward to this series!

[@fl9vin686]

i’m sad you didn’t loop notre dame in with this video, since they don’t have a conference and are most closely related to the acc, at least in football

[@TheWideWorldofStadiums]

I'll make a separate video for the independents.

[@rickbarnes7745]

They are in the ACC now. They played Clemson for the ACC championship this past season.

[@CreightonRabs]

@@rickbarnes7745 Notre Dame football was in the ACC for the 2020 season only due to COVID related scheduling cancellations (ie. other conferences couldn't play out of conference games). They will return to an independent schedule in 2021 and onward. ND is in the ACC for all other sports (except ice hockey, which I believe is now in the Big Ten).

[@rickbarnes7745]

@@CreightonRabs Thanks for that clarification.

Could you do a FBS series

[@toogyman]

Scott stadium in this list as my favourite FSU is quality, my Tigers 🐯 I prefer in yellow and purple Not related to the ACC but a awhile ago a friend of mine did a comparison between 4 stadiums all around 52000 capacity Waldstadion - Frankfurt St James Park - Newcastle Suncorp - Brisbane Floyd Casey - Baylor Looking at the four we could not work out how it was possible for Floyd Casey to hold 30k let alone 50k !! I guess it’s bench seating single tier compared to bucket seating, multi tier and roofs Looks can be very deceiving!

[@minthu4515]

Have you been to a game at Scott Stadium? It is aesthetically pleasing. One of my favorites as well

[@jamessimms415]

Hey, you need to do a tour of Texas High School Stadiums. Some are nicer & larger than some lower level & P5 FBS stadiums

[@joecook5689]

Was that stadium in the thumbnail the one in The Dark Knight?

[@bostonrailfan2427]

Alumni Stadium: built on the original stadium by that name forcing BC to play at Fenway Park. You missed that it sits next to a historic reservoir and the stadium’s entire western stands is built into the adjacent Conte Forum so that boxes overlook both the arena and the football stadium. and the Patriots playing there went down in infamy: a fire broke out in the stands during a game!

At some point you should do NASCAR tracks. That would be very fascinating.

Syracuse used to be the orangemen and that’s Native American they ditched the logo along time ago but then they just made it orange cause it made no sense without the logo

[@alanfox691]

Not true as regards The name change from Orangemen to Orange.

[@spanny_2722]

Ok look up Syracuse in the 50s and 60s they used to have a Native American that’s what orangemen meant

[@spanny_2722]

But they also changed it too cause of the men part in it for the women made it so they were offensive to them

[@LarryHatch]

Alan Fox is right. I've heard and read (grew up there) the Orangemen and Orangewomen were named for the color of the uniforms and nothing to do with native tribes. Why are people assuming "red men" are orange? They switched to Orange to be gender neutral. The Post Standard of 1890 says Orange was a reference to the Dutch ancestry ("House of Orange") of the area such as Fort Orange over in Albany and other orange themes in New York like Orange County. It was the Saltine Warrior mascot they had to remove for reasons of indigenous relations. The football teams was briefly called The Orioles. www.syracuse.com/orangesports/2004/05/origins_of_orange_colors_nicknames_and_mascots_of_syracuse_sports_over_the_years.html
