Fun fact: Miami was a college when Florida still belonged to Spain

Look at you getting some MACtion!

Fun fact: the Wolverine Amtrak train that runs right passed Western Michigan’s Waldo Stadium also runs right past Eastern Michigan University’s campus.

I am a Bama fan and alum but I started watching the MAC games several years ago because there were a couple of games a week on TV during the week instead of Saturday. I had just gotten my new big screen flat panel TV and would watch anything sports because it was so awesome. Turns out, the MAC is very competitive and entertaining to watch. The casual fan will not be disappointed if they attend a game.

The Glass Bowl is named that way, because Toledo was home to a glass making company.

Fun fact: From 1946-1951 the Cleveland Browns had their training camp in Bowling Green. The Browns colors are also orange and brown.

Toledo's Glass Bowl and Akron's Rubber Bowl was named because glass in Toledo and rubber in Akron are the main source of income in the city.

You should look at NCAA college hockey arenas!

This series was fantastic truly marvelous, looking forward to the FCS series

I think it's a crime against word play that Dix Stadium isn't at Ball State.

One of my earliest memories was sitting on the hill in Peden Stadium watching the bobcats play during my parent’s homecoming one year

I played on 3 of these stadiums. Long ago, in 1990s, when astro turf felt like concrete.

A buddy of mine went to OU, and he said the stadium atmosphere always was electric!

Miami of Ohio gets its name from the native tribe that lived in the area. Props on correctly pronouncing "Olentangy," too. 👍

Just wanna say, I'm In the shot of the central michigan marching band! I'm one of the saxophone players on the bottom right! Also, the first shot of Kelley/Shorts Stadium is waaaaayyyyy old lol its much, much bigger than that now

I grew up going to games at Huskie Stadium It may not look to impressive but it was always a fun place to watch a game, especially with how wild the student section (which is basically the entire east stand) would get

Absolutely love Waldo Stadium and there joke you put there :)

I have been to nearly all of these stadiums in my time. Let me tell you, there is nothing in college football like a Saturday afternoon MAC game. As nearly all the conference is in short driving distance from each other, you can make an easy day trip complete with tailgating and football.

Do Stadiums of HBCU Schools in the SWAC and MEAC, Please.

I'm going through all your college football videos and I have noticed that you are not critical, the worst think you ever say is "it's ok" and you find things to like even in the most simplest boring stadiums. especially nowadays, its so easy to be critical and you seem to find the positive in some of these stadiums. I think that's great

I remember watching an Eastern Michigan game and wondering what was wrong with my tv

I liked them all; Toledo and Kent were my favorite

I’m a Ball State alum. The stadium now is much better than it was when I was there. But the thing that still bothers me to this day is the temporary-looking aluminum bleachers on the east side of the field. After all the improvements that’ve been made, this sticks out like a sore thumb to me. If they would build a permanent structure with the same dimensions as the press box side minus the press box, Scheumann Stadium overall would be a nice little mid-major venue.

Wow, I'm impressed. As a Ball State alum and someone who regularly watches your videos, I was expecting A LOT of bad jokes when it came to Ball State.

Nice touch having the aerial shot of Petoskey, MI at the end.

I've been to rynearson stadium multiple times and it looks so cool at night with that field

The London silly nannies is still the best team name ever

Miami University, the Great Miami River, and Little Miami River are named after the Miami Native American Tribe. The city of Miami, FL is named after the Great Miami River, because the architects of the road between Daytona Beach and Miami were from Dayton, OH and they got to name the cities at the ends of the road.

The EMU field is gray because the stadium is nicknamed the Factory, since it's where the team goes to work.

Love some Thursday night MACtion

FCS next.

You should do college hockey arenas or some type of hockey arena

Akron's Rubber Bowl was arguably the worst college football stadium during it's last years. Ohio's Peden Stadium isn't bad, but isn't great either. However, it's a lot better than the stadiums at EMU, Buffalo, and Kent State.

Craig Ferguson is the 🐐. Thank you for mentioning him/that!

I knew you would enjoy the glass bowl

Yes WMUs stadium has been ranked the best for years. Best facilities and score board in the MAC too. In fact, their score board was rated the most innovative state of the art out of the G5 teams. Go Broncos.

7:48 The row of columns at the Ball St. stadium is called a peristyle

Fun fact: That's the 2nd UB Stadium and the previous one was built only a few years before it. When I went to UB in 1984, they were still Division III and playing in the ancient stadium on the Main St campus - the stands on one side were condemned and not allowed to be used, the other half SHOULD have been. But in the next year or two they opened UB Stadium version 1 on the Amherst campus. It was a nice little stadium, earth berm built. But then they announced they were moving to Division 1 FCS and so they built ANOTHER UB Stadium that first opened in 1993. The 'old' stadium is now called Walter Kunz Stadium (yeah that name... lol) and it's still there because who wants to tear down a stadium thats less than 10 years old? It's a state university - your tax dollars at work, New Yorkers! :D

Nice to see some MAC love, the current plan is fall 2022 I’ll be attending western Michigan for my masters before going to Michigan state for my doctorate so this is awesome

Ready for those FCS Conference videos! Especially the SoCon!

Another great job …thanks man !

I love watching your video's solely for the one liners and cheesy jokes lol

love the vids brother

There are conference realignments going on now. You will have to do SEC and Big 12 all over again

COLLEGE FOOTBALL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real Super Fun And Interesting!

Fun fact: Toledo’s Glass Bowl gets the name from the glass industry in the town. Nicknamed the ‘Glass City’.

Craig Ferguson is the G.O.A.T eh? Careful Icarus! Although, when I'm not checking out The Wide World of Stadiums, I do enjoy the simple pleasures of Daffy Dook.

Awesome vids like normal, Kelly/Shorts stadium has been updated quite a bit since when ever that pic of the stadium you got was. Have a brand new screen on the endzone with the seating. And they just built a brand new building in place of that old building behind the other endzone.

Hopefully you will do the SWAC conference of the FCS :)

Love your vids! Would be cool if you showed the Greek super league stadiums

Bowling green class of ‘23. Great video it’s a small conference but there’s nothing like mid week maction!

Good channel and I enjoy checking out all of the stadiums. After watching about 10 of your videos, the only shot you take against a team for not being good is Miami. Meanwhile, Miami has the highest winning percentage and most conference titles in the MAC. I agree they aren’t a National powerhouse, but they are historically the best program in the conference.

Another stadium video let's go

MAC-tion! Nothing like Wednesday football

Peden Stadium is a nice stadium to watch a game, if your car survives Richland Avenue approaching campus from the south end of town.

Eastern Michigan used to be the Hurons, another name for the Native American Wyandot people. The university chose to replace it with the nickname "Eagles" when they could've gone with the more unique "EMU Emus."

MAVERIK STADIUM IN UTAH HELL YEA nice video again bro. what’s your favorite stadium?

I went to Muncie Indiana during a ball state game. There was crowds and traffic everywhere

👏 you pronounced Olentangy correctly 10,000 miles away when people 100 miles outside of Columbus still call it Olen-Tangy

MAC and cheese. Perfect combo. 👍

FYI for anyone that don't do expanded research the NIU expansion plans shown at 0:50 is from 2014. It is currently not being done and unknown if it ever will from what I can tell

G O B R O N C O S !!!

Craig Ferguson is the GOAT. I miss him on the Late Late Show so much.

For the apparent size of them, I can't believe they don't seat more people. They look like they should more.

Living in Toledo, I can tell you a few things... Toledo is the 4th largest city in Ohio, and that stadium is NEVER sold out. Back in the 90s, Busta Rhymes held a concert immediately after the UT game, and if you had tix for the game the concert was free. And even then, not a sell out crowd.

The Glass Bowl is the best stadium in the MAC and it’s not close.

ive been to peden stadium a few times. it’s cool

Love these vids but......the "voice went Husky" dad joke made me audibly say "uuugh" and I sprained my eyes rolling them

Kelly/Shorts has received some big upgrades since those pictures were taken, notably a new huge video scoreboard on the south end and a new locker room facility on the north end.

Nice to know: the mascot of the Akron Zips is a Kangaroo 🦘named Zippy.

The MAC is a very stable conference , but I think the time is right to expand their brand with the demise of CUSA there is 2 schools they should consider for expansion. Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee ST. Good basketball and decent football, good basketball, football recruiting areas.

Ball states stadium looks a lot different from what is shown in the video. Past the southern end zone there are now updated stands built on a athletic training building (which is beautiful) and behind that a brand new indoor training facility

Please do southern conference stadiums

Do Mexican Baseball Stadiums (include LMB (summer league) and LMP (winter league) because they all have incredible stadiums) 🙌

Get some of that MACtion!

As someone who lives in Kalamazoo I must say for a non Power 5 conference stadium, Western's Waldo stadium is pretty nice. However, I've been to Akron's Infocision Stadium and besides the name that stadium is fantastic. I actually went to 3 games the first year it opened ,in 2010 I think, and it was nicer than many some of the Big Ten stadiums I've been to. I've only been to Akron, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan and Toledo in the MAC but I'm looking forward to getting to more after I complete my trip to all of the Big Ten stadiums (why did the have to add Rutgers and Maryland!?!)

Man I know someone has probably already asked this already but what’s the songs you use?

1:08 in the subtitles it said "d1ck stadium" 😂🤣 all your jokes in your videos make me laugh a lot🤣😂 Greetings from Bogotá 🇨🇴

No. Miami Ohio got its name from the tribe that was local to the region.

you should do FCS

Love the programs. How about the Ivy League?

The conference headquarters is in Cleveland, Ohio.

Can you do danish superliga stadiums at one point?

At some point you should do interesting and unique High School football stadiums

Have you done the pioneer football league

Fire Up Chips! Kelly-Shorts Stadium did just recently undergo a renovation though

Go Zips!🏈

The MAC should add Eastern Illinois and Youngstown State to the conference if they ever expand imo

I was brought here by the fact that the GIF that plays when you over the video was 3:46-3:50

you should start doing high school and d2 maybe d3 stadiums

So far I've only been to Yager Stadium But I'm going to Peden Stadium in October

Craig Ferguson IS the goat. And yes, Ball State’s stadium blows.

The poor man's Big Ten.

BG Alum. So the story of how we got our colors is basically that an old university official early on saw the colors orange and brown in the feathers on a woman’s hat during a trolly ride to Toledo.

Wait a second on my way back from Michigan Escanaba I passed Bowling Green and saw this stadium to my hotel and the arena

Just so you are aware.. with the American Football stadiums.. especially the smaller schools etc . They will have one large "main" grandstand and a smaller one on the other side of the field. The home and neutral fans sit in the big stands.. the away fans sit in the small one on the other side of the field. I noticed you mentioned a few times about the smaller stands.. this is why!

Went to BGSU 80-81 on student exchange from Alabama. Everyone believed couldn’t believe when I said Alabama had only 10-11,00 @ that time, & that Bryant Denny Stadium was ‘only’ 60,000 capacity then. Everyone assumed because Alabama was so good in football then, we had 40-45,000 students. Also, it was hard to believe football was #3 behind ice hockey & men’s basketball. Now we have 38,600 students & the stadium is 102,000 & change. It’s not uncommon for 100,000 to show up just to tailgate.

UB Stadium was built for the 1993 Universiade, or World University Games. The end zone stands were not original to the stadium.

HBCU stadiums?
