xu9697 Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 And I don't know the answer:When was the last time there were 2 Division I (FBS) teams playing in brand new stadiums? I would have to think it has been a VERY long time..like perhaps 1950 or earlier. This year, of course, Akron joins Minnesota with new digs. Quote
UA Fan Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 uconn & temple, 2003. If you don't want to count pro stadiums, it looks like mtsu, utah & louisville in 1998. Then again, this site says our first game is 9/19 and the Rubber Bowl is about to be demolished..http://www.collegegridirons.com/comparisonsallage.htm Quote
