Speaking of stadiums, the Steelers home will now be called Acrisure Stadium. Cue yinzer outrage.

Hearing Yinzers pronounce that will be classic.

That was a really neat feature. I wonder if they'll rebuild it.

From what I've heard they will not. Current president has been using an end zone tent and prefers to watch the game from the sideline. However, he's leaving next summer so things may change. Maybe there will be a Brandon Fusco Lodge in the future.

A home side like Bloomsburg would be awesome.

In other stadium news, the sky box at Slippery Rock is coming down...literally. The ground under the foundation slid so it's got to be torn down.

If only the whole ground opened up and swallowed The Evil. :-)

Literally fairly new restrooms on the visitors side next to the fairly new stands.

The visitor side is nicer than than the home side. I still prefer to sit on that side but you get roasted over there in early season games. A lot of IUP fans sit on that side. It's a bit less 'stuffy'. People actually cheer on that side unlike the funeral parlor across the field.

In reality, unless it's Cal or SRU at Miller, no other team travels aside from a handful of parents.

Okay that makes sense. Its been a few years since I was at Miller and I couldn't remember. I'm usually a 'go before you get there' kind of person.

I think the order of 4-5-6 is spot on. Edinboro has the second-largest away side after Rock and adds the benefit of separate away side parking, ticketing, and full service bathrooms. IUP has newer turf and a video board but its away side is pretty basic - are there bathrooms or anything else on that visitors side? I can't remember. Clarion has parking near the away side but its just moveable bleachers - no amenities.

I dunno. Doesn't look all that bad, relatively speaking.

That must have been recent renovations, because my recollections go back about 6-7 years ago, when they didn't have much of a press box that I could recall. When I was a freelancer, I was looking to cover a game at NDC, but was warned by their own SID staff that the press box facilities weren't that great or something along those lines. Now that I look at the pictures of Mueller Field off their own website it's, well, not that impressive. Cal High School has a better stadium than that.

Thanks. By full-service I was thinking they might have a bathroom attendant handing out paper towels in a kilt.

I've never seen a paper towel in a kilt. I'll have to check that out.

A standard bathroom - flush toilets, urinals, sinks, etc. rather than simply port-a-johns. I guess I could have just said standard bathroom :)

I've never been to a FB game at Edinboro. What's a full service bathroom?
