It’s loud, and I love the team entry tradition (best in CFB, Clemson close #2, IMO). But NICER?! It’s just a big cement stadium in a cow pasture. I’ve been all over it including on the field, locker rooms, tunnels, etc. doesn’t seem at all NICER.Maybe nicer wasn't the best word. Regardless, point stands, Williams Stadium rivals many P5 venues.
PS - their b-ball arena blows. That place is a dump.

I love our stadium and am proud of it... but it does not rival the average P5 venue.

Food selection left a lot to be desired as well.alabama24 wrote: ↑December 30th, 2019, 2:52 pmRutgers facilities for a Big Ten team were horrible. Scott Stadium is so old and outdated.
