Yeah the locker room comment is warranted but stadium? Casey is beautiful.

It doesn't help that the TV angles only show the student/visitor sections. Definitely makes that place look bad on TV

Apparently they have not been in their own stadium.  

Funny enough, most CAA fans like our stadium.  

Sadly you never really get to see the actual stadium on TV. Just the $ienaty visitor stands and cars parked in the grass behind the scoreboard (which for a guy living in the south now for 20 years and used to SEC football, is pretty jarring 😂)

Me and @Clickclack were cracking up during the game. They went from punch us in the mouth to watching a cooking show to let's cancel the football program. For a winning team. 🤣🤣🤣

I tell ya what...dem Virginia folk ain't too bright, I do declare.

That makes more sense...but any sane person would Google the stadium before such a dumb comment. Agree that our visitor side is definitely small HS quality lol. We need to complete the stadium but to do that we need a winning program year in, year out for 10-15yrs to warrant it.

Two Syracuse offensive linemen were in the concessions line. I guess they wanted to know what December football was like. 

6'6" and 6'5".  Let's get them for next year!

Isn’t Syracuse bowl-eligible this year?

Attendance reported 2652. Felt like a lot more

It's possible that UA may be playing next weekend in our very humble stadium, but Richmond team members will be cleaning out their hoity-toity lockers.

You watch your mouth...my beautiful wife is from VA. When you I see tomorrow, you're gonna get a stern look! You've been warned!!

They should be unless there is some sanction I don't know about.

CRT man posted this....rough...

 

this is what December football is all about...two really good teams that deserve to play in game like this...despite what the oddsmakers and pundits say I believe the two teams are pretty evenly matched on both sides of the ball...

if both play well this should be an outstanding game that could be decided by the intangibles...I like what the Spiders have going...no matter the opponent, or what adversity they've been faced with since September, they've found a way to overcome it and win...I don't think they're ready to stop in upstate NY...

Spiders Playoff history includes some giant underdog, road Playoff wins...those teams were special...I think this team still has something to prove and can join those teams Saturday!

At least one of their posters has some common sense, thinks we can win the ship.  A lot to clean up till then if trying to beat SDSU.

Also, this game feels SO much different with a real broadcast team and production values.

Been watching the replay now for a qtr. Not sure where these announcers are from; but certainly sound like Richmond homies??
And not that I’m pining for Roger; but from being live at the game something definitely remiss in the “production values.”  Hardly got any replays at all. Instead of replays, just put up after each play a giant advertisement for “FCS CHAMPIONSHIP” with the outline of what I assume was a football player?? And the few replays they did show were from a camera behind the north end zone.  And the view was so far away it was like in miniature. 
Again not that I am pining for Roger & most definitely not Flosports; but I can absolutely say replays at the stadium today were few & far between and not produced & filmed well.  I’ve been at nearly every game played at Casey and assure you UA in house replays on the big screen have always been top notch. NOT so today?

Could be , these were the same guys who did the Richmond game last week

From a camera shot once or twice during the game,  stadium side seating looked like a 1/3 full at best.

All I’m asking is for the PxP camera to not be from 2006
