Both of these obscure stadiums are home to professional teams.
Daniel Alcides Carrión Stadium, Cerro de Pusco, Peru. 13,973 ft elevation.
Estadio Mario Mercado Vaca Guzman, Potosi, Bolivia. 13,353 ft elevation.
(Yet an other reason Soccer sucks)

Michie Stadium is beautiful, as is the whole West Point campus. Highly recommend making the short trip up there during a visit to NYC, especially in the fall if you can catch an Army game.
:yeahthat:
It's stunning. I don't know how the cadets can concentrate in a setting like that. I know they work them to death, but if I were there, I'd have a hard time resisting the temptation to just sit and look out at the river all day long.
It's pretty remote up there (Cullowhee) but yea it is a nice area.

Emmot Field/Shultis Stadium. Home of the Independence (KS) Community College Pirates.
Operators are standing by.
This was one hard stadium to investigate, sorta like Toney Clemon's transcripts. It's bad when the AD site's best picture is a black and white photo.

UNLV: Sam Boyd Stadium. 36,800. The major football venue of Las Vegas - pretty incapable of hosting a Pac-12 title game, although some prospective Pac-12 CCG's would be hard pressed to draw 36,800 if teams like Stanford or Oregon State were to be involved..
I was there (see what I did there JRK?) for the the Rugby World 7s this year. It was hot.

Love the idea of Vegas for a CCG in theory, but not until Sam Boyd can be renovated/expanded, and as far as I know there are no plans for that. Weather would probably be pretty nice the first week in Dec, especially for an evening game. Would be a great location for CU - easy drive for SoCal Buffs, and not bad for Buffs in CO, either. I was in Vegas for a few days in March and easily made it back to Boulder in just one day of driving.
Anybody make the trip out to Cal last fall?

It's a weekly thing (at least) with me. You want one mailed up?

Yes, and I'm pretty sure the wooden stands I sat on were the originals from 1923. Great location for a stadium, i'll be interested to see what the new product looks like. Bringing it down from 75k to 63k - correct?

Ohio State: Ohio Stadium (Columbus, OH) Capacity: 102,379, although they regularly get 105k in there. Probably will edge out Darrell K Royal (Texas) and be the biggest crowd that our Buffs have ever played in front of. Interestingly enough, it has no lights. OSU doesn't play home games at night very often, and when they do lights are brought in.

Fact check. Ruling...Sacky!
EDIT: The jury is out, however, as to whether a full UT stadium is larger than Michigan and Ohio State when measured by weight of those in attendance.
"Most of the 106,427 fans had to be counting this a s a Wolverine victory. Down in Section 1, Row A, Seat 5, Michael Westbrook’s mother, Mercy, noticed that members of her family were hanging their heads."

CU @ UT "ATTENDANCE: 101,152"

CU in the Orange Bowl. Hottest football game ever. Look out Klatt...oh...ouch.
better that it is in my mind and not my gut!
Those burgers were amazing at 2 am..... no so sure they are as amazing when I dont drink nearly as much and my waistline is directly proportional to what I eat :lol:
But thanks for the offer!
I remember staying at the Holiday Inn on the North side of town and spending all day at the Damon's sports bar in that hotel....
Fun place...

Believe Michigan bumped it up from ~100k to 107k in '99.
Edit: Looked it up. The Big House started in its current form in '98, bringing in crowds of 107k. Before this capacity was 102k from '92-'97. Could they have had an over capacity crowd for a CU game that will be larger than the over capacity crowd at Ohio Stadium? Maybe. I'd be interested to pull up the attendance figures, I'll see what I can do.
