Stadium nicknames!!!

[appstate38]

We have Kidd Brewer a.k.a "The Rock" What do you have?

[appfan2008]

where did that come from anyway???

[nmatsen]

Even though it has been deemed the UNI dome for years being pronounced YUNEE Dome, I am sure when it was built it was meant to be U.N.I.'s Dome, someone please correct me or confirm.

[appstate38]

I don't know.... we just called it KBS when I was there. The Rock nickname is only a few years old I think.

[MaroonDoom]

EKU's Roy Kidd Stadium= "The Kidd"

[appfan2008]

that is what i was worried i would hear from someone...

[colorless raider]

The Kerrdome

[89Hen]

Delaware Stadium = The Tub after Tubby Raymond (field is named after him). xthumbsupx

[813Jag]

A.W. Mumford Stadium = "The Bluff" because our campus sits on Scott's Bluff, this name was created former coach Marino Casem. He said "it's tough on the bluff". Everybody else called it Mudford because we had a horrible field in the early 2000's.

[andy7171]

"The U" is Johnny Unitas Stadium's nickname. I don't like it.

[Walkon79]

I do this before a Griz does.

The Kitty Box

[jmt21]

If I remember correctly I believe that Mike Waddell, a former SID at ASU, came up with the nickname in 1999 or 2000. I say this because around that time we used the theme of "The Rock" for the schedule cards and posters. I think that year Darryl Skinner, Joe Best and a few other guys were on the poster and from then on "The Rock" has been around.

[Appaholic]

WaGriz = Double-Wide in the Big Sky

[FCS Go!]

WaGriz = Double-Wide in the Big Sky

There is a whole thread on this on eGriz. xlolx Most suggestions are, unfortunately, as classy as Apphole's.

Wa Griz doesn't need a nickname to scare other teams.

[ASUMountaineer]

xbawlingx How about "Home of the Terriers"?

[Hellgate60]

My brother calls washington-Griz stadium the Huckleberry patch

[ASUMountaineer]

I don't know when you graduated, but I have heard it called the rock since I was a freshman back in 1999.

[yosef1969]

I don't know when you graduated, but I have heard it called the rock since I was a freshman back in 1999.

Pretty sure David Jackson dubbed it the rock when he first began announcing, could be wrong but that's how I remember it anyway.

[AppinATL]

I got that beat! It was Conrad Stadium when I was there, and what we called "the Rock" was the town 8 miles away where we had to go to get beer!

[cmaxwellgsu]

Paulson is "Our House." It hasn't been this year, but we do have the two longest FCS home win streaks.

[Kiss My Apps]

The theme used that year was "Rock Solid"... resulting in the birth of "The Rock" nickname.

I graduated in 93. It was Conrad stadium my freshman year and they renamed it KBS in 89 I think.

[ASUG8]

Sounds right - I finished in '89 and it was Conrad until my Sr. yr.

[Uncle Rico's Clan]

My brother calls washington-Griz stadium the Huckleberry patch

I like this one, it sounds original.

[Hoyadestroya85]

5,000 + empty seats

[ASUMountaineer]

I think you're right, I believe it was 89.

[SuperJon]

Ours is Williams Stadium. We call it The Bill.

[Woof]

where did that come from anyway???

I have made it multiple choice for you:

a) Most occupants are "dumb as a _______"

12427

b) Place where football team conducted geology labs ("rocks for jocks")
12428

or c) Appy's stonehenge (my personal choice)

12426

[citdog]

General Johnson Hagood, CSA, Stadium is also known as


THE BONEYARD




until we found actual Confederate Soldiers buried underneath it

[neersnbeers]

I've heard about those days when you had to take Shulls Mill Rd to Blowing "Rock".

[skinny_uncle]

McAndrew Stadium at SIU is simply called The Mac by most local fans. Considering the state the 70 year old stadium is in, MacDump is starting to catch on. It is slated to be replaced in 2010. I still have not heard what they are going to call the new stadium.

[art vandelay]

UNH's cowell stadium, the crap hole.

[Grizaholic17]

xbawlingx How about "Home of the Terriers"?

xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx Touche! Touche! You can talk once you guys actually beat us in Wa/Griz :p :p :p

Wa/Griz doesn't have a set nickname. The Zoo is what I refer to it with some friends sometimes. I've heard it before too. It makes sense with MIssoula's nick name being Zoo Town.

Although "The Destroyer", "Boom Box", "The real 12th man", or "Better than yours" are widely accepted.

:p :p :p :p :p
:D :D :D :D :D

I remember that...the Cork 'n' Ale was the closest place you by beer (across the street from where Shops on the Parkway is now). xlolx

If half of what I hear about Wa Griz is true then "The Zoo" would be appropriate.

[89Hen]

Villanova Statium = The North Tub xthumbsupx

I just had to.

really? how long ago was that? that road is TERRIBLE... that sure would suck

[Don'tPlayW/Yosef]

I graduated in 85 and we had no beer in Boone. Plus my freshman year 321 was only 2 lanes and there were always DUI roadblocks on weekends.

well you know as soon as graduate they passed a law saying that local merchants can now sell liquor by the drink...

[buckp]

McNeese - The Hole! Yes, half of it is below ground level....xnodx

Yeah, hopefully we'll get another chance. Almost did in 2000. Since then I've want to play the Griz.

[jaxstatealum]

Paul Snow Stadium = "The Snow" xrolleyesx

[BestOfBreed]

Some people call Wofford's stadium (Gibbs Stadium) "The Dojo" but not many. It hasn't really caught on much.

[Big Dawg]

I do this before a Griz does.

The Kitty Box

The Kitty Box??? Really???xoopsx

[TxState_GO_CATS!]

Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium = Da Wack

[Grizaholic17]

McNeese - The Hole! Yes, half of it is below ground level....xnodx

http://www.katfans.com/facilities/cowboys.jpg

Do you mean half of it is below sea level? It doesn't look to be below ground very much. Wa/Griz is about 3/4 underground though.

[coover]

Ours is Williams Stadium. We call it The Bill.

I thought it was the "Fall Well".

[ASU88]

I got that beat! It was Conrad Stadium when I was there, and what we called "the Rock" was the town 8 miles away where we had to go to get beer!
I was there when it was Conrad. WE used to call it "Conrad Beach" because on nice days dozens of kids would be studying and soaking up the sun ON THE FIELD! Even saw food delivered out there!

Oh yeah and ... in case anyone forgot ... Finley Stadium in Chattanooga has a nickname:

Kidd Brewer West.

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

I do this before a Griz does.

The Kitty Box
hehe dammit.....:D


Wa-Griz does need a nickname, everyone knows where it is on game day, but a cool nick name would be good.

[McNeese75]

It is probably just as far or further below ground level than WG.

[bincitysioux]

North Dakota's Alerus Center is often referred to as "The Al".

[MaximumBobcat]

The Wack...stemming from Jim Wacker Field at Bobcat Stadium.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Fisher Field at Lafayette - "The Eleventh Tee."

Noted for its large but quintessentially polite, low-volume golf-clap crowds.

xwhistlex

[DFW HOYA]

You can't have a nickname until your field gets a permanent name first... xsmhx

[ASU Tailgaiteer]

I graduated in 93. It was Conrad stadium my freshman year and they renamed it KBS in 89 I think.


Ditto. (Graduated in 1993 as well)

They actually put up a fight to not have the name changed, but $$$ won out.

[Husky Alum]

The school likes to call Parsons Field, "Pretty Parsons". I guess those people are either blind or see the world through rose colored glasses.

Our students refer to Parsons as "Oh, THAT's where we play football"

Our opponents refer to it as "My high school field was bigger than this"

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

You can't have a nickname until your field gets a permanent name first... xsmhx

Or permanent stands with a permanent press box...

[MacThor]

Well it should be "the Web" but it ain't.

[WUTNDITWAA]

Ditto. (Graduated in 1993 as well)

I always wondered why it wasn't just named Conrad-Brewer.

[footballer23]

Can't forget about the Fabulous FargoDome (or FFD).

And I have a correction, the Alerus Center is either known as the "Hillarous" or "The Big Tin Can Up North."

[FargoBison]

Don't forget about "the tin shed."

In the past: "The Ice Castle"!

Lately: The non-domed UNI stadium xbawlingx
