One guy's opinion. Nippert is rated pretty high.

Legion Field: 121 of 124

Not surprised. Papa John's Bowl was scary.

For what it is, a top 30 finish isn't bad at all.

I have a hard time believing that this guy visited all 124 stadiums. Things like this are really impossible for one person to do accurately.

Last year Nippert ranked really low in a similar survey.

Step back. It's Bleacher Report and they pretend to play journalists on the web.

Too true. Bleacher Report is far from 'official.' It's very much like Seeking Alpha - just a blogger aggregation site trying to pass itself off as big time. There are diamonds in the rough but I find it hard to believe the author was allocated a budget by his/her employer and did any hands-on research.

Take it with a grain of salt.

Exactly. And even if one person visited every stadium, the game environment can vary drastically based on the opponent and situation.

Seriously. Whomever wrote this said things like "...when they're playing good..." Playing GOOD? Grammar 101. It's playing WELL, not playing good. Then so many other stadia were described as "leaving plenty to desire". Way, to mix up the adjectives there, chief. And, what, pray tell, is left to desire? I like the respect for our stadium, but that was quite an amateurish compilation.
Personally, I love Nippert because of the atmosphere around the stadium. A five minute walk from Nippert and you have 100s of dining, drinking, and entertainment options. It's a great place to watch a game, and when we have SRO and instant sell outs for every single game, then we can discuss a larger capacity and other conveniences.
Nippert is a GREAT stadium and the surrounding area is excellent and VERY accessible. If you have any complaint about going to a game Nippert, you are CRAZY.

Agree!!!!!! (However, the addition of more bathrooms and concession stands in the very near future is not an unreasonable expectation).

I'm wondering if some form of porta potty couldn't fix both issues cheaply.

They've already got some of those.
