I live in flagstaff and that’s exactly how walking your to the sky dome feels

Glad you liked our state! The Big Sky is best looked at in Livingston. Livingston is on a flat plain where 3 major ranges of the Rockies meet and begin/end. Windiest place in Montana for that reason. But the sky having those mid afternoon clouds dwarf 10,000 Mountain Ranges. You feel like you can see for 500 Miles. The Ranges of the Rockies give the feeling of the sight. It becomes like an optical illusion because Earth and Sky meet and seemingly blend in.

I live in that great state my entire life. Wouldn’t live anywhere else.

It is weird. I’ve been to nearly every state, but seeing the sunsets and sunrises in Montana: I’m sold.

Montana = last best place (except for the campus of the Billy Bobcats).

GoEags!

Have to check it out sometime Missoula is beautiful !

@@heavyizthacrown-5842 u guys are trash this year so shut it

I have been to multiple big ten and pac games, Missoula is pound for pound the best around.

Missoula is definitely "special", no argument here. FTG!

Yeah we have a great atmosphere in the stadium

You and the other 15 people there to watch the games have your pick of seats?

@@play712 *you mean sold out stadium

It's a shame they nuked the marching band. I know a lot of their internal traditions had to go, but the replacement band is quite inferior.

Lived in Templeton most of my life and loved going to football games there. The baseball stadium is pretty great too

Whatever happened to that Stefan Djordjevic kid Cal Poly recruited out of Pennsylvania a few years ago? I thought he had all the right moves!

Nah

You got to. The atmosphere truly is one of the gets in the country

It’s the best .

Been to many, and when I first started going the south end zone was grass. We'd sit there and you were constantly getting up and moving back up the hill as it was steep enough that you kept sliding down. Has gone thru several upgrades over the years. Very loud stadium and one of my favorite places there is. Go Griz!

Best atmosphere in the country especially during the playoffs. Great place to watch a game

I have gotten two tours of the U of M football/basketball facilities and would of gotten a tour of the champion center but my brothers made me late so I dident get that third tour

Best part about Missoula are the gorgeous and liberated women. My gawd!

I was going to NAU in 1983 and Coconino played Flagstaff in the Dome. Coconino was 9-0 and number 1 in the state. Flag not far back. I believe they had the Dome record for attendance with over 14k. Coconino won but Flagstaff went on to win the state title for the third straight year.

It’s 6th loudest in the country in decibels at 122. All the stadiums above it have a capacity of atleast 70k

The view of Ben Lomond and the Wasatch to the north at Stewart Stadium is *incredible* too

I'm a Hornet fan myself, but I do like Davis stadium, can't hate on that.

So could idaho vandals

@@YANKEESFAN4LIFENUMBER28RBGuhh, nope! They already tried FBS but failed miserably. Also, got beat by the Griz on the regular. So now they’re back in the Big Sky and still losing to Montana.

@@gregoryreed8567 shut up you cheated the vandals

Griz are right where they should be. I hope and pray they never try to move. My dad used to play for them and we’d have this conversation and he would make me a believer that they are right where they belong.

That whole American expansion was such a cluster fuck

Col Mines too

What's "University mountain"? I went to Montana for 4 years and never heard it called that, it was always Mount Sentinel.

FTG

FTG | GoEags!

@@heavyizthacrown-5842 Shush you. Adults are talking. Here's some crayons to go play with in the corner.

The Kibbles n Bits dome, 😂. Great place to see a Vandals junior college game!

I remember going to games in like 1990 and sitting on grass in the end zone. It was best football experience I could imagine.

@@gturcott1 Stadium opened for the 88 season and went to first game that fall. Also sat on grass. Great memories. Go Griz!

Yep this makes me glad I live in Bozeman and can go to lots of Montana games. Beautiful scenery

@@RewatchPJ24Legit. God bless Montana.

My first college football game was Montanas home opener vs Butler this year. Game day experience was incredible. It was really loud and the fans were passionate. I love the stadium design

@@RewatchPJ24 yeah, I dont know if I'd want to live in Montana though. Lol. I'm happy here on the PA OH border. Montana, for me, is more of a passerthru tourist attraction kinda deal but I really want to see their baseball stadiums next. It's really hard to beat parks like Modern Woodman PNC and the one San Fran uses. All have common backdrop features. I love river bombs.

I can take that from anyone that isn’t from PA. Top of heap of ugly states with ugly chicks.

And the multicolored seats need to be updated/painted the same color or something.

@@heavyizthacrown-5842 yeah true I'm not a big fan of the multicolored seating. But in some concept images of the renovations it looks like they're planning to paint them all gray. Kind of a boring color, but it'll probably be better than the multicolored seats

I went to UM vs ISU last year. I quite enjoyed my time at Holt Arena. First of all, the tickets are dirt cheap! 3 tickets, row 8 on the 35/40 yard line with all the BS fees: $68. That's the price of a single ticket in Missoula! Second: we parked less than a 2 minute walk from the entrance.. for free. What? Crazy! Third: the fans were pretty dang chill. Even got to chat with some players after the game. One negative: The Griz fans ran the beer tent dry. 🤣 Hopefully they will have more stock next time. I'll definitely be going back.

Pocatello is nice little downtown but that’s about it. Well that and watching the Griz come to town and serve beatdowns on the hapless Bengals.

@@playgroundchooserof course it’s cheap, it reflects the product on the field, except when my Griz are in town!

I couldn’t have said it any better myself 👍. Also he pronounced the name wrong. It’s Wee-Brr

Really isn't a bad venue in the state. Gotta say I like them anyway

The views in Ogden are great in all directions.

Portland State is really a misfit playing all the way out in what is essentially a high school stadium in Hillsboro. Saw them play Montana there in 2019. Almost 80% Griz fans. No fan support. Playing in a HS stadium almost 20 miles from your campus. Why even bother playing football?

@@jasonbarney5587 I know the scheduling conflicts with the Timbers is the reason for playing in Hillsboro. With that said, at least invest some money to upgrade the stadium.

@@jasonbarney5587 The real problem is that it’s off-campus. No on-campus stadium = no fan support.

@@heavyizthacrown-5842 that is part of it. However I remember when PSU played at Providence Park in Portland, and were lucky if 100 people showed up. There's literally almost no fan interest in PSU football. The local high schools get more fan support.

@@jasonbarney5587 back in the 80’s where they were hanging anywhere from 70-100 points on teams and the late head coach Pokey Allen’s crazy commercials got that stadium packed

Thanks for watching!

As a recent Cal Poly grad, I always loved Spanos Stadium but now seeing it compared to our conference, it’s nice to see how unique it is!

I attended NAU in the early 80s when they played hockey. I know being isolated from most hockey playing schools didn't help as well

Oddly Arizona State now has a D1 hockey team and the Phoenix Roadrunners play at their arena

Not uncommon. I went to Ole Miss and the student section was on the visitors side as well.

Don't agree about the tailgating, but I agree with everything else. One thing that is kind of annoying is the stadium is almost empty at the beginning of the 3rd quarter because all the fans are out tailgating. MSU fans, especially the students, have a reputation of being some of the more rowdy fans in the Big Sky and FCS.

LOL Get out of town with that comment. Montana is way better game exp then MSU by a landslide... The fans are just as passionate both ways, but you're not going to sit here and say that the litterbox is better then Washington grizzly stadium.. Yes I'm a Griz fan and have been to at least 75 games over the years so I can be a bit biased but I've been to a handful of games in the litterbox and its not even close. Has MSU improved their stadium in recent years and has it got better you bet it has but it def trails Montana. Anyone reading this comment you're on youtube look for yourself

@@MrIceblue1984My mother was a Bobcat cheerleader in the seventies. During the Brawl of the Wild in Missoula, students started throwing full beer bottles. One of them hit her in the head. Later, the zoolians nearly toppled the Bobcat bus. Things are better these days, but I’d still rather watch a game at Bobcat stadium vs Washington-griz.

@@michaelhamel7049and by rowdy we mean insecure and loudmouthed. Also, girls from Missoula are much prettier.

@@MrIceblue19841000000000% correct. 05’ alum of UM here. We have better everything versus the Billybob Cats, even much prettier girls … by a country mile. Haha, MSU junior college.

That’s a beautiful stadium.

Wasn’t it cuz enrollment leading to domination?

Should be D-III, but the babies of the MIAC didn’t want to try and improve their programs so they decided to kick the Tommies out

And remain consistently mediocre through it all. Congrats Vandildoes!

Would make no difference! The place is basically a high school field with insecure fans! MSU junior college, 😂. Go Griz!

Ftc go griz

St. George's Stadium is gorgeous too. But it seems like it will lose the mountain views especially post remodel

Soon to be renamed.. in spite of the obstinate asinine locals who see no problem with the racist connotation. Many modern Utahns dont know or like to remember that Slavery WAS tolelrated in the Utah territory.. Guess where they grew the cotton? >.

I didn't forget but yeah a lot are too internally focused. Can it please just not be Utah Polytechnic? Red Rock State and Southern Utah State sound so much better.

@@FirewolfKnight they wont use Southern Utah.. as it is already in use, and SUU's previous name was SoUtah State College. THat would be inane to say the least. THey likely wouldnt use anything like "red Rock as the Univ of Utah Gymnastic program and supporters would go on the warpath.

@@ZakhadWOW true. What would you name it?

The first one they built collapsed. What is your school's specialty again? Haha FTC

@@play712 You're mistaken. The building that collapsed 2 years ago was not part of the football stadium. It was a section of the fitness center about 1/4 mile from Bobcat Stadium. I believe your school's specialty must be being misinformed. That's unfortunate. Cheers mate.

@@kennethbeartusk51 great reply!! GO cats!

@@kennethbeartusk51hahahahahaha! Billybob Cat fan trying to sound smart, 😆. Nothing changes the fact that the Griz own you, the Bison rape you and your school is a junior college to this very day! And Missoula has much, MUCH prettier girls!

Yeah, it seems like this guy unfortunately gave Montana State's stadium hardly any recognition. I've been to both, and there both great, but unfortunately you never really hear about State's stadium. Awesome nonetheless.

Second only to Bobcat Stadium

​@abegott6813 bobcats stadium is trash😂 bunch of gay boys

Sorry, the H is long gone. The students agreed several years ago that they didn't need to monogram the mountain. The L was made of whitewashed rocks that made it susceptible to being re-arranged to spell other stuff. That problem was solved when a group of parents with a wealthy backer hired a helicopter to make a monolithic concrete L.

Hahahaha, MSU junior college.

Yeah they got vandalized

Left the Sunbelt in 2017 and joined the bigsky.

😲

Idaho rejoined the Sun Belt Conference in 2014 after a season as an independent in 2013, and eight seasons in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), which dropped football after the 2012 season. The Vandals were previously in the Sun Belt (also football only) from 2001 through 2004, after the Big West dropped football. On August 18, 2012, Idaho was cleared to stay in the Football Bowl Subdivision as an independent after the WAC announced it would drop football effective with the end of the 2012 season. Idaho would only remain a football independent for the 2013 season; on March 27 of that year, the Sun Belt Conference announced that Idaho would return as a football-only member starting with the 2014 season. Nearly two years later in 2016, the Sun Belt Conference announced via teleconference that neither the University of Idaho nor New Mexico State University would be renewed after the 2017 football season. In 2018, Idaho resumed full membership in the Big Sky Conference, which participates in the Football Championship Subdivision.
