Rice University: Rice Stadium

Rice University has a reason to be proud of its 47,000 seat stadium. Not only has it been serving the institute’s football team, The Rice Owls, since its completion in 1950, but it also hosted Super Bowl VIII in 1976. So why are fans complaining about the stadium these days?

Well, The Rice Owls don’t necessarily pull in capacity crowds. Plus, the owners already cut the capacity down from 70,000. Fans have also noted how outdated the stadium is, with many noting it’s a throwback to the ’60s feel. There have also been complaints about the lack of concession stands, making it hard to get food even at low attendance.
