Architecturally, LSU's is the most interesting to me. I tend to think that stadiums exceeding 70,000 or so begin to lose their human scale & become ugly & impersonal for the fans.

I've only been to fedex once, whereas I went to rfk several times. No comparison there in terms of which was the better experience. RFK was a true home field advantage, Fedex is only in the biggest games when there's something on the line.

Even then, look at the empty seats early in the 3rd quarter, there are so many people that don't get back from the halftime mob til later. I think that was a factor in Gibbs' tenure as we lost so many close games. Not a huge factor, but it was at least a small factor.
