Found this site called Stadiumjourney.com Has some nice write up and reviews on Stadiums across the country. They factor in Atmosphere. neighborhood, fanbase, return on invetsment, and extras. Pretty cool stuff. I think they're a little slow on the FCS so your school might not be up there yet. Did see Delaware and Montana, each got a 3.9/5.

I don't understand where you are seeing overall raitings.

NDSU got a 5/5 for fans, atmopshere and ROI.

http://www.stadiumjourney.com/stadiums/fargodome-s1416

4.33/5 if you weight all categories equal.

Though I hardly see food or neighborhood as being equal to atmosphere.

Edit: I found it, NDSU was given a 4.0/5 as the fanfare score.

Aggie Stadium at UC Davis got a 3.4. Everything was rated 3 to 5 except extras which are limited for this new facility. Their review was fairly accurate.

I think the Fargodome one was generous. The food in there is fine. I have never been wowed by it(never had it during a game, but plenty of other events in the dome). Can't imagine it being higher than a 3 or a 4.

Go Lehigh TU owl

Is this a new website? I literally stumbled acrossed it last night and spent about 3 hours reading various reviews. The Montana State football and Temple hoops review was well done. I can't believe they didn't take time to do either Lehigh or Lafayette football.

When you can get a taco... wait for it... in a freakin bag. I don't know what more you could expect lol. This guy wants a santoku in the fargodome ;). (I wouldn't mind a little pork cheek rock salt ramen while waiting for the game to start either)

As far as I can tell, they ask a local person to do it. So if you had no volunteers, no write up.

IMO, the most accurate, spot on sentence of the reviews I read was written by Jack Winter!

"There may not be a more idyllic setting in all of college sports than Wahington-Grizzly's.".

Thank you, Mr. Winter!!xsmileyclapxxsmileyclapxxthumbsupx

Like I said, nothing special.

I like the almonds but they are so damn expensive! The Dippin' Dots sometimes help me sooth my throat from yelling too much in the first half.

Sometimes 6 year olds don't have the most developed palette. I.e. spaghettios.

Bought spaghettios when I first started living off campus. Big mistake.

Actually it's my oldest son...he's 11. Every sports venue we go. Either the Fargodome, Alerus Center or Engelstad Arena he has to get those almonds, but Johnson is right they are spendy.

Before citdog drops some swastikas on your ***, I will say that the whole thing has an early bleacherreport vibe to it.
