>> I honestly prefer the old school stadiums like Notre Dame and Michigan

I'll bet you'd love Tiger Stadium in BR.

Look, anytime you wish to return play at the neutral location of Legion Field, I can guarantee the oldest, most primitive college environment you can play in.

I get the gist of what the OP is saying. Stadiums can get so nice and "corporate" to the point they can feel sterile like a new outdoor NFL stadium. I wouldn't go as far as wanting to trade out BDS for a more college feel though. It has been into a beautiful palace befitting a legendary program

Having said that and speaking to the OP's point, the one and only thing I do miss about a stadium like Legion Field for example is the grading of the seating. Legion Field is and was a dump compared to BDS but LF was loud as f### with the steep seating grade and the metal seating that created an intensity of noise that is difficult to duplicate in BDS. BDS can absolutely get loud but not at the intensity of noise I remember big games at LF producing. Granted, the entire gameday experience at BDS on its worse day is a million times better than at LF but I do miss the intensity of crowd noise at LF if that makes any sense.
