Message: [QUOTE="Jetskies, post: 5349877, member: 12253"] off topic, but Rice needs to do something about that stadium. If i heard right, it's a pretty historic and significant venue, JFK had a speech there or something? it seems to have been a premier athletic venue back in the day... but boy is it a cavern for a meh G6 program in an overly saturated sports city/region, with nothing around it but parking. a relic of a longggggg bygone era in Houston sports. very awkward last time uconn was there, IMO. UCLA is having similar problems at the rose bowl, but 2 major differences: [LIST] [*]rose bowl is STILL relevant as a prestigious CFB venue, and has other more important uses besides housing UCLA (ie. the rose bowl game itself) [*]UCLA being a PREMIERE p4 brand and now rid of deshawn foster and finally winning, probably has a chance to revive attendance, and get rid of the seat cover banners, most programs install to hide the low attendance and force crowds lower to the action.
