Thank you for sharing this video. Nice looking stadiums... I liked every single one of them

Love the videos! Some comments from a recent LA Tech (2019) grad: 1. North Texas has that odd looking North endzone stand (which goes damn near straight up, ive climbed it) bc the at the south endzone there is a big bronze eagle's head so the idea is that the north endzone is the "tail" of an eagle. Also, the stadium sells beer until the 4th quarter and looks bigger than its capacity due to the raised seating. Probably my favorite away stadium I visited while in college (marching band.) 2. Tech's pressbox is newer than the south endzone and extends from 20 to 20. There is a big catering room behind the seats. I've been to events there while in college there. Tech's concessions are in desperate need of renovation, which hopefully be built once the soccer and softball complex is finished. 3. If you ever want tickets to a game at the " Joe", let me know!

Note: that third clump of buildings you showed while looking at the various business districts around Rice Stadium is the Texas Medical Center.

Regarding the Joan C. Edwards/James F. Edwards situation at Marshall, the field was named after Mr. Edwards first when the stadium was built in the early 90s. When I grew up going to games there, it was "James F. Edwards Field at Marshall University Stadium". When the stadium expanded in the post-Randy Moss era (the upper green seats in the endzone), I believe Mrs. Edwards gave more money and it became Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Its one of 5 buildings on Marshall's campus named for her.

But seeing your video I am a bit dissapointed because I thought that those beautiful hills in the background made it seem like it was remote, but in reality it's right in the city, just happens to be sitting down in that bowl. they used to be in the sunbelt conference, now, CUSA? god I hate all the conference realignments going on today. the big 12, used to be nebraska, oklahoma etc now they have been gutted.

I play football at Rice… the bike track is weird and people who live nearby use it and we use it for a tradition on campus. The buildings right behind the stadium is the medical center so those are all hospitals and cancer centers and stuff. The second view was downtown.
