But Grant Field is better than Sanford




Opinions are obviously subjective but unless one is simply a big fan of cozy and quaint little settings and/or views of office buildings there really isn't any metric that would support that.

-Sanford is much bigger
-It's nicer looking
-It also has a "unique view" but it's looking out at campus and trees rather than skyscrapers
-It's louder
-It's in a much nicer area/surrounding

I can't agree with you on much of that except it being bigger and louder. For a stadium its size, however, Sanford is not loud.

Grant Field is a little tighter but I think it's equally as comfortable and has as good or better sight lines. It has much better views. It's surrounding area is fine IMO. It's near the better parts of the Tech campus. I think Grant Field is nicer looking and has a far more cohesive design. I think both stadiums are a little difficult to navigate.

Sanford is like JHS in that both suffer from being built out and designed across multiple decades which leaves it looking disjointed/inconsistent and too often cheap/ugly. I like JHS better, obviously, but I think both suffer from similar issues.
