OU at #88, but no Boone State. What gives?

I can't think of 87 other places I would rather be

They lost me at 41. They got me back at 49.

So you wouldn't put Busch Stadium(#47) in there?

to be fair, it's not "top sports venues". It's "most important".

I wondered why the Astrodome was #4.

It's a fun list to discuss. I think it is great we are a part of it.

Oh, and our other home field comes in at 81.

Any list that leaves the Lloyd Noble Center off is bogus.

Somebody once asked me if I was named after # 2. I politely told them that would be hard to do since I was 21 when it opened and I've had my name my entire life.

I'm still waiting for that naming rights check to show up. :mad:

I noticed that ESPN f'ed up and put that Memorial Stadium is the second largest city in Nebraska on Gameday when it is actually the third largest.

Small correction. The Yale Bowl was not the first bowl-type stadium. That honor would better go to the Colisseum, not in LA, but in Rome.

55. Ratliff Stadium
Location: Odessa, Texas. Opened: 1982. Capacity: 19,500.

Because it's the home of Permian High School, the famous high school football program immortalized in "Friday Night Lights," the book, the movie, the TV show and eventually, no doubt, the ice show.

How can they leave off the Ridgeview Elementary School baseball "filed" located in the heart of the Village..OKC??

Site of my first hit, and the first hit to the scroat.

81. Cotton Bowl
Location: Dallas. Opened: 1932. Capacity: 92,107.

Because the Cotton Bowl (to move to the Cowboys' new stadium in 2010) used to be a very big deal indeed in America sports, and the annual Oklahoma-Texas game still is.

At least they got the order right. In my neck of the woods, it's always called Texas-OU. :mad:
