utenation Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 In no particular order, I'm basing it on gameday environment-location/feel, amenities/updated, proximity to the field, crowd noise and strong attendance. As well as National reputation. I'm going with: Yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 As far as views go, I'll take this one. But not so much in terms of crowd noise or strong attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utenation Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think Utah has one of the coolest back drops.. If you're into Mountains and all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Very cool. The Huskies also have an awesome backdrop. The Rose Bowl - pretty cool USC's Colisuem -- pretty boring IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I take that as two votes for the Huskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I take that as two votes for the Huskies. They probably have the best combination of all the above listed criteria in my opinion. What your take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Hail Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 There is a reason why Big 12 fans loved going to Boulder...just look at the photos above. Those pictures are honestly not that impressive when compared to some of the other back drops in the conference IMO. They are nice no doubt but they don't stick out like the Washington or Cal backdrops do. Fans in the big 12 probably liked coming to Colorado because it wasn't Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Mizzouri, or Nebraska. In comparison to those places, I'm sure Boulder is fantastic. California, Washington, and Oregon are far more scenic than anywhere in the big 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAC MAN Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 As far as views go, I'll take this one. But not so much in terms of crowd noise or strong attendance. Very nice. It seems like the views from Cal's Memorial Stadium hasn't been emphasized that much. I think Utah has one of the coolest back drops.. If you're into Mountains and all.. Yes that is nice. The Wastach Front's mountains tower over SLC more than the CO Front Range mountains tower above their cities. The Rose Bowl - pretty cool USC's Colisuem -- pretty boring IMO Props to you for a Rose Bowl photo while they were tearing up the UCLA football field. As for USC, that's what you get with South Central I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

California, Washington, and Oregon are far more scenic than anywhere in the big 12. There's much more to just those views. There is easy walking distance to Pearl Street Mall and the Market at 29th Street. There are hotels at both shopping centers. Pearl Street: Market at 29th Street: Plus you can get on the bike path next to Folsom Field and go into the mountains. Just watch out for those hungry mountain lions. The convenice of Folsom Field to shopping, hotels, and the mountains really makes Folsom Field stick out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quack 12 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 After attending the 2013 Oregon @ Washington game, I agree that the new Husky Stadium is now the gem of the Pac-12. The setting on the lake with Mount rainier in the background is truly picturesque scenery, and most importantly, it's actually a good place to watch a football game now. From personal experience, however, I can tell you that when it's cold and raining and the wind is whipping through the Montlake Cut, it's as miserable a game day experience as I've ever had. In fact, this Saturday night could be ugly, although it's not going to be particularly cold. From a surrounding countryside point of view, Autzen is pretty pastoral, and the Cascade Foothills are a ways off, so it really doesn't measure up. But it's much more about the game itself.

All Hail Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 It's so nice to have competition within the conference. I don't think you did your own school justice in the 1st photo. The photos that Utenation and I posted showed a very impressive backdrop behind Folsom Field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Hail Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 My favorite part of going to Autzen stadium was the walk over the picturesque Willamette River that many of the students ended up jumping in after the game (Cal was ranked #9 at the time of Oregon's triumph.)
