i make sure to make a trip up there every year to see a game along with the army navy game. Beat Navy!

yah just in the last few years I saw the stadium and the surrounding area for the fist time on a big screen HD tv. just beautiful. there was this house, looked like almost a castle above the stadium out in the middle of the trees. you could watch the game from there almost.

It's the best recruitment tool you could ask for if you're the USMA. It's a hard 4 years of your life -- but look where you get to spend it.

that will be cool, I bet there are high school stadiums bigger then a lot of D-3 fields, or that will double for both in some locations.

@@tylerhumpfer2493 My old high school stadium that seats 6k already beats a lot of D2 and D3 stadiums.

My college has apartments that look out onto the field, the student gym that looks out onto and field, and has no lights lol

@@great9800 yeah we had 10k (with standing room along the fence) in our stadium a few times in HS. but have we played a school every year that they used the D3 college's stadium.

@@great9800 Not my GVSU Lakers!

BIG SKY CONFERENCE

WAC!!

Ivy League

Southland

MVC

In 2004, there were only 2. Notre Dame and Navy

@@jonathang1700 there were others, they were between conferences or moving up from Division 1AA. those two were just the ones that refused to join a conference for football. 1991 and 1995 were the big years, that was when the Big 10 expanded and the Big East started football while Conference-USA was founded ending all but those two schools being independent

and even Notre Dame has to play 5 ACC schools/year as a condition of conference membership in other sports.

NMSU Facilities need a huge makeover huge improvements if they want to compete.

@@ronbowlingjr6122 dude NMSU needs a lot more than that if they want to win haha trust me.

you wore 69, mister offensive and defensive lineman with 45 total tackles. nice

It’s so odd Las Cruces of all places has grass on the outside of the stadium, the city is dry as can be

yep and those trees make it even more beautiful

Yep right on the hudson river. A lot of history and an amazing gameday experience.

Army's full nickname is the Black Knights of the Hudson.

the campus is, the stadium isn’t…the whole reason for the campus being there is that it’s a military installation on the river protecting the Hudson River

The video didn't do it justice. It is on the side of a hill overlooking the Hudson. You can see the river in the very first shoe.

I'm a Notre Dame fan and I love the stadium, especially the renovations they did a few years back. I've been to Ann Arbor for a game also and it was everything you'd expect.

I so want NMSU to turn things around. I would be a huge fan. I think their stadium is quite nice. With the conference reshuffling going on, Mountain West should just grab UTEP and NMSU to go to 14 teams.

Minus the Kibble Dome.

Nothing beats Wa-Griz

Absolutely nothing special about Sacramento state and UC Davis football stadiums lol

@@AndrewChristian-bg6vr UC davis stadium is actually pretty dope .. newer stadium

@@OnlyHoops15 you’re probably right, I haven’t watched a home uc Davis game in awhile. I just know Sacramento state football stadium looks like Folsom high schools stadium without the blue turf.

Thanks! Will do.

Hopefully soon.

I've been asking for CUSA for so long 😕

AAC, CUSA, and MAC are the only FBS Conferences left.

C-USA was going to be this weeks video, but I ran out of time. That's why I went with the independents. So, next week.

@@TheWideWorldofStadiums YES!!!!!!!!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!! I go to MTSU in the CUSA so I can't wait for this video!

I have endzone seats at Notre Dame and I agree, having been to both stadiums.

Send this to Jac Mac

Will do. It should be up this week or the next.

Yup, the north end can extend out further if need be. They added temporary seats when Michigan came to visit...yes...Michigan bothered to come to this little stadium.

Looks like they’ll be an FCS team soon so they’ll be no need for that.

@@iamabuki Actually UConn has no choice but to stay in FBS due to a large amount of public funding from the State...which is why they went independent so they can schedule weaker opponents and not get crushed by Houston/UCF all the time.

@@bizmen81 I doubt UConn is getting a weak schedule? We have home and homes against some well known schools. Of course, with UConn's women's Basketball, we can get teams to come to East Hartford. We went independent because we saw the AAC wasn't a good fit. AAC closest team to us was Temple, then it was ECU (East Carolina). The AAC was not a great fit for our basketball teams...

@@arthurpasseri1840 They get to schedule Yale and URI, so thats something.

Cheers!

It's also like an hour and a half away from UConn 😂

Informally, it's been called West Point since forever, as in, CPT Smith went to West Point, or he's a West Pointer.

Some play on the same field. Some soccer teams play on the old football field. Few have a dedicated soccer field.

Also some college football stadiums host soccer for larger games but they don’t host the soccer team as they don’t have the follow. UConn is a perfect example. The football team plays at the Rent which is about 45 minutes from the main campus. The soccer team plays on campus at a far smaller stadium . However the Rent is a frequent stop for both US National sides, in fact it hosted Landon Donovan’s last appearance and the USWNT last weekend. It’s also hosted nycfc at points as well.

Yea, the opponents fans seem to love it when they take over for every big game.

@@brittholloway3935 It doesn't get taken over, but it's a stadium everyone wants to go to!.

That's a good idea. I probably will. Thanks for the suggestion.

You were literally one week too early for BYU. Big 12 bound.

Notre Dame remains an Independent and will stay that way for a long time.

to be frank, considering the fucked up nature of Texas in general, it isnt surprising that HS football is an alternate religion in many areas of the state.

Well, you answer your own comment in this point, UMass and college football in general in New England isn't like Texas lol, simply not as big. Why have a giant stadium when you can barely get 10,000 into your own? Team's performance surely doesn't help either, but still, just not as much interest. Now college hockey, that's a different story...

@@ZakhadWOW "Fucked up nature", huh...?

Texas High school football is crazy... Full time coaches that don't teach just coach... Yet Texas and Texas AM can't put better teams together.

@@TheRealRBarry east coast has bad high school and college football... Dont get it.

It is certainly a nice location, but it's not the nicest campus or stadium.

Just wish they had put in more actual seats rather than just bleachers. Even bench seats with backs would have been nice.

Except for the fact that Mayfield-Las Cruces is the marquee event every year. Hell, it’s still better than UNM though.

The MWC would probably invite NMSU if they weren’t such a joke in football. But ya, they need to drop down like Idaho did.

$$$ from FBS powerhouses that schedule them for tune up games

As a New Mexico State fan I disagree. We just need a conference to play teams closer to the same level. The last season in the sun belt was 2017 and the team made a bowl game that year and was steadily improving every year in the sun belt. Still don’t understand why the sun belt got rid of NMSU but I think mountain west would be a good option and even for basketball would help our program as well.

@@petergriego Prove to everyone you belong at the FBS level. Since the glory days of mediocrity in 2017 you’re 6-20. And arguably would have been worst if the fall 2020 schedule wasn’t cancelled. Fire Doug Martin (how a coach with a 23-64 record has a job is beyond me) and if a new coach can’t save you all. Join the WAC as a full member. They’re bringing football back starting this fall.

@@petergriego The Sun Belt Conference has been cannibalizing itself slowly. When they lost FAU, MTSU, UNT, and WKU to C-USA, they’ve been struggling to produce anything worthy of being called competitive football. They redeemed themselves with the addition of App. State, but I doubt they’re going to stay in the SBC for much longer. I can see them realigning to C-USA or the AAC soon.

@@BuffaloPros your facts are off: it was taken for use for the Patriots stadium but at the last minute Massachusetts caved and put money into rebuilding US1. the land was stuck unable to be used for anything else, the state had no choice but to build the stadium but on a smaller scale. and you are being pedantic about Eadt Hartford/Hartford: it’s still Hartford to everyone else in the state and region🙄

It was going to be this weeks video, but I ran out of time. That's why I went with the independents. So, next week.

Nope. Just a one season thing.
