Memorial Stadium

I chose Memorial Stadium as my place to view for this assignment. The stadium seems so calm without the thousands of people there for the big game. There is not a sound except for the few cars passing by. Since it is not a game day I’m not able to go in, but I can visualize what it would be like to be in the facility on a day such as this. There is no particular smell in the air just the feeling of greatness.
There are statues all over the sidewalks outside of previous greats to play at the University. They are legends for us to remember and to help us remember our tradition. Even it being empty inside and out it, I can feel the excitement surrounding the building. The feeling never leaves this area, not even in the winter, spring or summer.
I chose this place because it is relaxing to me. It is something I enjoy and is one of my passions. I can hear the crowd from the earlier days still cheering and shouting, but in my head. Even then it seems so real. The large “N” imprinted on every part of the stadium, standing proud for what it represents. When Memorial Stadium is empty it is more a visual phenomenon, but when the place is packed it’s all about what you hear.
Many amazing things happen at this facility and many people are proud to be a part of it. The structure is massive and is very intricate, even as a football stadium it has amazing things about it. The big screen in the stadium is something that and sports fan would marvel at. Years and years of greatness are packed into once structure like this. A place I would enjoy spending a lot more time at.
