 I've seen many of stadiums described in this book
Overall I've give this book a fair rating.
I've seen most of the most famous and biggest college football stadiums. In about 85% of them I've been able to walk out to the fifty yard line mid field and look around at the stadium. Stadiums are usually open nearly every day of the year. Probably the nicest and most interesting that I've seen are Notre Dame Stadium & the Rose Bowl. I was surprised at how many stadiums that one wouldn't suspect being the nicest or greatest were included (Army, Navy, Air Force) in this book, while Rice's & Boston College's were not and Michigan State's was one of those allowed only a one page review. The book also omits Baylor's and Texas Tech's stadiums. In my mine all football stadiums are bland compared to baseball parks.
There is a small section which includes stadiums no longer around: Syracuse, Minnesota (seen that one), and a few others.
I did enjoy the history of the expansion of the stadiums.

This is a great gift for someone who loves college football and the little facts that everyone doesn't know. I even enjoyed looking through it!

 WORST BOOK EVER ( jcs8713 )
This is the most slanderous, ridiculous book I have ever seen. DO NOT BUY, unless you want to be ripped off. Or unless you're from West Lafayette, in that case, buy it because it's the only time you'll see your stadium get any pub. - Jeff
