Unless they expand BHNS to 67K, a sellout at RJS will be louder than at BHNS. I will give credit where credit is due. I watched a couple games at BHNS this year and it was a loud impressive atmosphere. But the atmosphere on the wVU game night was truly a BIG TIME college football atmosphere, ala an SEC, big12 or Big 10 atmosphere. Go back and watch the game tape and see.

Steel amplifies the sound and it bounces all over the place.So while 67k might actually be louder, the 45k here will sound louder on a person to person basis. I'm no trying to run smack, but a steel stadium definitely has its advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That place will look like a mobile home park if a big hurricane goes through O-Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel constantly boucing up and down can't be good for stadium. Seems like they would want to reinforce the steel. I have never heard a stadium referred to as a trampoline before.

From what I've heard, they are starting at the student end and working their way down. While bouncing isn't going to cause a problem today or in a few years, in 10 or 20 years, it could have negative effects if added support is not used. UCF is smart to jump on it right after the season ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
