FBS Schools Most in Need of a New Home
With the plans in the works for a new University of Houston Stadium and Tulane University Stadium, what other FBS Schools are in dire need of a new home.

The 2 schools I think need a new home are Temple and Pitt. Both play in souless pro stadiums that just don't have that college football atmosphere. I miss the Cardiac Hill and expansive parking at the old Pitt Stadium. Temple could use a smaller field than the Linc, IMO.

No one needs a new stadium more than UAB. Not even close.

You can add Miami, USF and San Diego State to that list for the same reason.

I thought I read about a year back that, for the most part, all their football facilities suck?

You can throw Pittsburgh into that boat, then, too, although at least Heinz Field has some history.

They'll be back in 1-AA in 2014 most likely. Their stadium will then be appropriate.

IDK I think they will stay in 1-A. Mayb the Sun Belt or MAC as a football only school?

UAB has plans to build a new 27k stadium. Seems a bit small, since they have hit crowds in the 30-40k range recently.
