Football Am I the only one who thinks Cowboys Stadium is ugly? - Page 3

Granted I've never been there... but from the outside its nothing but glass, steel and a roof. Inside it looks like the decks other than field level are 8 miles away from the field. They have a big video board that can get in the way of punts and kickoffs which equals just plain stupid imo. On tv at least it has no personality at all. JerryWorld to me just resembles his team... flashy with no substance.

Anyone been there? Am I wrong?

I like the design of the Seahawks stadium but how about some color on the seats.... it adds/takes away from the overall look.

Havent been inside, but been up close to it. Its humongous, and sort of looks like a spaceship landed in a parking lot. I think it looks pretty cool.

Even domed stadiums can be cool.

Generic ones suck. The lines here are so uniform and plain.

The inside of The K went from great to outstanding imo with the renovations.

Be aware tho... I'm the Royals/baseball fan here on a football board so my opinions often differ.

I've gathered you're a baseball guy, football is my number one, but I know where you're coming from. I like going to other baseball stadiums a lot more than football. I caught a NYG vs. AZ game a couple years ago in NY (NJ), before the new stadium. It wasn't the same at all when I've been to other ball parks and seen 2 random teams go (HOU - CHI, SD and Someone, Angels - Tigers I think).

Although I've heard that the NYG is the wine and cheese crowd, so maybe that had something to do with it, they also lost though and were pretty defeated, thinking they should have whipped the Cardinals. I'm sure the crowd plus the fact that their stadium was complete shit didn't really make it a great experience for a couple of random business travelers. At least it was a good game, Eli threw a pick on a game tying or winning drive in the final moments of the game and they lost...ha ha **** you New York.

Because there's really nothing surrounding it except a few hotels.

I can't really explain it other than to say I feel like there should be a Starbucks nearby when I walk in. The escalators don't help. As we've discussed before though there are some things I like about EJD.

The EJ Dome was built before 22 stadiums were built and renovated. It's a bit outdated, yes, but I think the upgrades have improved it a bit. I expect a massive renovation within the next few seasons.

Rule of thumb: if you take the logos and colors off a stadium and can't ID the home team, it sucks hard.

Exception to this rule: Oakland Coliseum

Are you a mult or really a noobie?

Beer me, have you been to Coors Field?

I loved it. I think even more so than Kauffman.

I haven't. If it's better than The K I need to go. The K is my heaven on earth. Once we have a winner there..... there will be no keeping me down.

See, what I liked about Kauffman was the waterfalls and the scoreboard. Both really nice.

But Coors had more of an atmosphere when I went, outside of the stadium. Not to mention it has what I think is a great skyline.

Unless you eat the grain of salt. Then you die.

I believe all of that. The K is where I grew up so it's always going to be my "home stadium."
