Missouri and Cincinnati comes to mind as stadiums that are incredibly shite looking from ground level. I don't like it all that much as I think the imposing many story level high stadiums helps create atmosphere.

Does Clemson have one as well?

The stadiums remind you of a toilet bowl, because those teams are shite. I'LL FIGHT ANYBODY.

I wouldn't call Clemson sunken. The entire upper deck, and a large portion of the lower deck is above ground, with the SEZ not really being below ground. If the stadiums that are ground level look like Neyland's erector set, I would choose the sunken stadium. But some look really nice, BDS and Ohio Stadium for example.

Like the Sun Bowl Stadium at UTEP?

They're lowering the playing field at Kyle 10' to make the sidelines closer as part of the big renovation, but until then Kyle is actually ABOVE ground level. There's a slight incline from all surrounding parking to the stadium and the field is a little lip above that. As a result... 100's of feet of bare ugly concrete tower above you.

Are you talking about stadiums built into hills or built in a valley?

If so they are cool and beautiful, but they are small. The word I would use to describe them is "quaint"
