Good choices! The only thing that keeps Homewood from being perfect is parking not being great.

Went with Homewood just given the history there.
I’m partial to Schoellkopf in the ivies as well, but Yales Joe T stadium is nice as well

Well, when it comes to everything but parking, Homewood is definitely the best.

I don't watch the other conferences
big ten
Homewood-a d3 guy did a review here, make your own judgements.
https://www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums ... ield-s2787
Penn State-if they take the portapotties off the field-no one wants to see portapotties and for sandusky u, come on.
Ohio State-the alumni section up top one of the end zones looks cool.
Rutgers-It exists and doesn't suck, I guess. Sort of like them.
Maryland-the tv view is awful
Of the Hopkins schedule(s)
UNC-probably my favorite modern field. The blue and the brick. Excellent.
Navy-Tradition, basically everything there looks great and I love annapolis
Princeton-simple, quaint and efficient.
Klockner-there's too much random weird stuff in the backdrop on the grassy side of the field
Denver-Mountains are cool.
Loyola-the parking lot in the backdrop sucks but it has the best student fan base by far in the sport.
Towson-A classic 1980s look
Penn State-if they take the portapotties off
Ohio State
Rutgers
Georgetown-For an incredible part of the city frankly the stadium looks like a dump. Hoya Suxa.
Maryland
Syracuse-it's too dark in there maybe because they hope people won't look up and see the empty spots in the rafters from all the choke jobs in Boeheim, pasqualoni, and end of desko eras.
Michigan-they built half a stadium.

You’re selling Gary short here, he can blow games with the best of them.

Well done! As I have said, if they ever move the Final Four from Memorial Day Weekend and have it at Navy, it would prove to be the finest location ever for it! By the way, not saying you are wrong. But are you not a fan of Michigan's venue because it only has one side of stands?

BU and Westpoint are two very underrated venues

You mean Boston Univ.? What is underated about that place? Has it changed since 1997 (other than the turf, admittedly, last time I was there was to watch a Cannons game in 2002 or so)?

Any venue that's consistently filled to 75% or more of capacity, without a track surrounding it and without lines of other sports overwhelming the field. Especially when end lines have to bisect football end zone designs/colors/lettering/logos.

Best sightlines anywhere when Harvard plays in old Harvard Stadium.
