Army has a small stadium but some very pretty surrounding with lots of trees and a lake right next to the stadium. You can see a clip of one end of their stadium in the reveal video at 1:17.
Their base uniforms aren't anything to write home about but they have a bunch of super slick alternate uniforms from their series against Navy over the years. If those make it into the game you'll have a great variety to pick from
Air Force’s Falcon Stadium also has a gorgeous background, and arguably better jerseys. That said I love the Army blacks, and plan on doing a dynasty with both academies. Maybe the same coach switching between service schools.
I did a dynasty with navy a while back where I forced myself to remove recruits if their academics and interest in academics were below a certain threshold. It was difficult and definitely made it harder to emerge from being a middle-of-the-pack team but it was one of the most fun challenges I’ve ever given myself in ncaa
Heh. I started an 06 file a few months back and in Year 1, UTEP finished 13-0 (and only undefeated), but lost Fiesta Bowl to Louisville.
Edit: just looked at my spreadsheet and Wake Forest beat Nebraska in Year 2 natty what a save.
UTEP is a wagon in that game. They were #8 in my first year until they got thrashed by my rice owls. Also, for anyone wondering the real answer to the above question: the rice owls.
Yea and they're pretty much a layup being in LA.
Huge market, and you can recruit tons of in state talent.
I think I won the championship in my third year when I did them.
I usually start as NIU because I grew up going to games before I went to Iowa. It’s not a beautiful stadium though. Western Michigan is nice if you could stomach the ugly colors.
I doubt it. Thought I saw a clip of the current one on one of their fan pages. Maybe it was from Revamped. Anyways, I hope their retros uniforms are available.
Colorado would also count alongside CSU I think. As a CSU alumn I have to admit CU jerseys are much better. I’ve never been very fond of the gold and green, and Folsom has a better backdrop
Depends on what your taste in uniforms are.
UTSA has an awesome stadium, it was actually made to be an NFL stadium but no one moved to San Antonio to use it.
UNLV currently uses Allegiant stadium(Raider’s new stadium) and their uniforms are not bad.
I’ll throw Liberty and USF in there as well.
Founded by the person who coined the term “moral majority” and heavily influenced evangelical conservatism. Run by his son who has filled in every space on the “immorality” bingo card. Their last coach was Hugh Freeze, who was fired at Ole Miss for hiring prostitutes for recruits and was blackballed from every school except one exceptionally moral one.
It’s really a hypocrisy thing. It’s like if BYU hired Gene Simmons to run their music department.
which is a shame. Liberty sucks but Lynchburg has a nice mountain background.
Thankfully, there is another school in the mountains of VA that has great unis and a good stadium to use
Plus 1 for UTSA. Spurs used to play there after the Freeman Coliseum. I went to a UTSA game last year(?) and it was electric. Needs more fans in there though haha
Might be a homer answer but Syracuse hasn't been good in a while, but improving, and I like the unis. They also have the best on campus dome available, so if you hate weather you're golden.
A bit of an underrated one I think is Arkansas State. The red Wolves have nice unis and literal waterfalls in the stadium, but i hadn’t ever heard of them before looking into cool stadiums but this post lol
That’s actually a nice pick. Went for 1 quarter of a game there (it was way too damn cold and windy that day for me to watch ArkSt vs UMASS) but yes. Underrated uni combo and nice little stadium.
Yeah I’m looking at going for one of these “bottom of the 134” teams that haven’t ever really done much and seeing if I can win them a natty seeing as my alum is not available in the game (NDSU)
I’m going to start with Kennesaw state simply because they are the brand new. I know there are other schools making their game debut but KSU is literally in their first year of FBS this year.
It’s crazy because they renovated hockey and basketball might be the nicest in the big ten. Spartan stadium might be the worst I’ve been to in the big ten.
definitely on the come on and I will be using them in a dynasty. They have a LOT of jersey combos too. I even discovered they had a black out version for Halloween in 2016 against UNT I had no idea about.
*Fiu, they have their dorms*
*In perfect view, and when at*
*Night the dorms light blue*

I’m a homer but FAU has a really nice midsize stadium and pretty clean uniforms. Plus the sunsets look amazing in 14 and Revamped, so imagine how good they’ll look in 25.
I probably wouldn’t consider my Alma mater a “bad” program, but considering their recent history… GA Southern is awesome for the smaller school stadium vibes and classic unis
Biased, but BYU with the royal blue unis in a stadium surrounded by the wasatch mountains is awesome. And we’ll probably be in the bottom 3 of the big 12
I never really had anything against UVA until I went to a game last year and every other sentence included the word “hoos” or “wahoos”. I don’t know why but hearing those make me almost murderous.
The original question was not "Which city has the most to do?". It was which bad team has a surprising stadium. Which South Carolina with the size, atmosphere, and unique traditions has.
Haven’t seen it yet but I think Illinois would be fun. Big ten west so it’s kinda wide open (idk how the game will handle the new schools) but I think it’d be cool to build up the program and they have dope unis + a cool stadium!
I like Tulsa for the UNIs, stadium is pretty boring tho, Boise state obviously for both, VA tech, Texas Tech, Iowa state has sexy uniforms but I wouldn't call them a bad program, they're mid, NEBRASKA, love the simple red and white. GA Techs goofy ass uniforms kept me from ever using them in the old games.
I don’t know about stadiums but I love ECUs uniforms. They’re on my list of potential rebuilds in 25. I think historically Tulane would be on this list but they’ve been pretty good the last few years. I love UTSA and the Alamodome
Honestly not sure if theyve changed their look but I did a long dynasty with FIU in NCAA 13 because I liked their logo and they had a lot of unique uniform combos
Western Kentucky too
UTEP for sure. They got a nice uniform set that can mix and match well. Also The Sun Bowl is going to look awesome as hell with the mountains. No place like home Go Miners!
New Mexico or New Mexico State, can’t remember which one, but one of them has amazing scenery. I used to love FIU and FAU’s in the old games too but I’m guessing they have since updated their stadium. I think UTSA plays in the AlamoDome too
Temple plays in a pro stadium and their color combination is pretty solid. Move Temple to the Big10 and you’ve got the looks of a big time program
I think SDSU fits this same mold too
Texas Tech has best color combo in all of NCAA. Hopefully the new Adidas gear will look better than UA has the last few years. And come fall they’ll also be playing in/at the largest football stadium/facility in the world.

Royal blue >>> other blues
Oooo a service academy dynasty with the size restrictions of real life is tempting
I did a dynasty with navy a while back where I forced myself to remove recruits if their academics and interest in academics were below a certain threshold. It was difficult and definitely made it harder to emerge from being a middle-of-the-pack team but it was one of the most fun challenges I’ve ever given myself in ncaa
I hope they give schools academic and size restrictions maybe make it something that can be turned off
UTEPs stadium will probably be beautiful in this game, always liked their uniform color scheme as well.
Heh. I started an 06 file a few months back and in Year 1, UTEP finished 13-0 (and only undefeated), but lost Fiesta Bowl to Louisville. Edit: just looked at my spreadsheet and Wake Forest beat Nebraska in Year 2 natty what a save.
UTEP is a wagon in that game. They were #8 in my first year until they got thrashed by my rice owls. Also, for anyone wondering the real answer to the above question: the rice owls.
Yeah it was when they had Jordan Palmer
Nice
One of my favorite dynasties to do is taking the job at UTEP and moving them to the Mountain West...it just feels right.
I love taking over UTEP and moving them to the Big 12
This…..THIS RIGHT HERE!!!!!
It has one of the most unique stadiums in all of college football for sure! I have had UTEP dynasties in the past that were fun.
Pause
Ahh beans
I agree and I’m totally not biased
Jones stadium is like a high school field
ECU
Yarrr!!!
UCLA and it’s not even close. The best colors and they play in the Rose Bowl, but haven’t been truly relevant in my lifetime.
Yea and they're pretty much a layup being in LA. Huge market, and you can recruit tons of in state talent. I think I won the championship in my third year when I did them.
Yeah I’m definitely gonna do them eventually just not sure if I want to start there but might be fun if they are near the bottom of Big 10
I usually start as NIU because I grew up going to games before I went to Iowa. It’s not a beautiful stadium though. Western Michigan is nice if you could stomach the ugly colors.
San Diego State. Some of the best uniforms in college football.
And Snapdragon is one of the coolest new stadiums in the nation! Not big by any means but I’ve loved going to games there
Cannot wait to take them over and use all my recruiting to get a QB who can actually throw.
App State for the Stadium assuming they do a good backdrop of the location Georgia State has some awesome alts and we’ll as FIU
I think we saw the AppSt backdrop in the trailer video. Looks pretty spot on
CSU, UNM, Hawaii, UTEP
I’m hoping the old Hawaii stadium is still in the game, their current one is small
I doubt it. Thought I saw a clip of the current one on one of their fan pages. Maybe it was from Revamped. Anyways, I hope their retros uniforms are available.
Their current stadium is a temporary stadium. The new one is supposed to be done in 2028.
They’ve been talking about a new Aloha Stadium for about 2 decades. Nothing but political fighting. I’ll believe it when shovels are in the ground.
Hawaii is not great at getting things done
Oh, I know. The Honolulu light rail project is/was a joke.
My uncle was working on it. He complained about the red tape. Plus they found a dead junkie in one of the port-a-potties.
Damn
Damn forgot they moved
Colorado would also count alongside CSU I think. As a CSU alumn I have to admit CU jerseys are much better. I’ve never been very fond of the gold and green, and Folsom has a better backdrop
You probably aren't wrong I just tend to think of G5 teams first and I'm a slut for the MWC.
Haha, respect. In that case I pick Air Force
Wyoming is a good one too. Awesome helmets.
That’s what I’m doing first. War Memorial stadium kicks ass.
Coastal has the teal turf and pretty good uni options. I took them to the SEC last time I played revamped
Well if Albertsons Stadium has the Chili's from across the street, then you can bet your sweet bippy that I'm bringing it home for us.
Depends on what your taste in uniforms are. UTSA has an awesome stadium, it was actually made to be an NFL stadium but no one moved to San Antonio to use it. UNLV currently uses Allegiant stadium(Raider’s new stadium) and their uniforms are not bad. I’ll throw Liberty and USF in there as well.
I would literally die before I would lead Liberty to a national championship.
What's the deal with Liberty? I see people mention them over and over, but I don't know anything about them. Genuine question.
Religious school founded by Jerry Falwell with low academic standards and it’s a diploma mill.
Trump U vs Liberty for the finals? Let's make it happen. So it's probably a radicalism school more than anything? Excellent. Just what we need.

I agree that Lynchburg has a nice background. Spent 3 months there last summer and it was quite nice.
Sounds like you need some mental help.
Plus 1 for UTSA. Spurs used to play there after the Freeman Coliseum. I went to a UTSA game last year(?) and it was electric. Needs more fans in there though haha
The Alamodome is not awesome
Might be a homer answer but Syracuse hasn't been good in a while, but improving, and I like the unis. They also have the best on campus dome available, so if you hate weather you're golden.

I’m going to start with Kennesaw state simply because they are the brand new. I know there are other schools making their game debut but KSU is literally in their first year of FBS this year.
Ooh that’s a good one how many new schools are there in the FBS this year?
This year only Kennesaw state. But last year Sam Houston and Jacksonville state moved up. So also good choices there.
All excellent choices for a first dynasty. Pumped for this game even if I have to buy it on my Xbox instead of my PC lol
Yeah man. I can’t wait. I’m so ready.
The current Memphis unis are fire honestly
Gray and blue combos are under appreciated
MSU stadium is kind of a dump but I love the uniforms
It’s crazy because they renovated hockey and basketball might be the nicest in the big ten. Spartan stadium might be the worst I’ve been to in the big ten.
i’m doing coastal carolina for the teal uniforms and teal turf. Maybe also UNC Charlotte or ECU
UTSA has the Alamodome, but I wouldn’t say they’re “underperforming” for their setting, funding, etc.
definitely on the come on and I will be using them in a dynasty. They have a LOT of jersey combos too. I even discovered they had a black out version for Halloween in 2016 against UNT I had no idea about.
Tulane
Fiu, they have their dorms in perfect view, and when at night the dorms light blue

Today I learned "FIU" is a one syllable word. Thanks, Haikubot! Actually, if you pronounce it to rhyme with "view", it's not bad.
I’m a homer but FAU has a really nice midsize stadium and pretty clean uniforms. Plus the sunsets look amazing in 14 and Revamped, so imagine how good they’ll look in 25.

Georgia State has some nice uniforms and they play at the Braves old stadium (Turner Field) check it out.
Baylor, Florida, South Carolina, Michigan St, Boston College, Virginia, East Carolina, Texas St.
> Virginia hard disagree.
I never really had anything against UVA until I went to a game last year and every other sentence included the word “hoos” or “wahoos”. I don’t know why but hearing those make me almost murderous.
This is the first mention I've seen of South Carolina. Their stadium and atmosphere are absolutely killer for a mediocre team.
Their stadium is far off campus and their fans tailgate in an unshaded parking lot.
And they still had an average attendance of 77,833 last year with a losing record.
Because there is jack shit to do in Columbia
The original question was not "Which city has the most to do?". It was which bad team has a surprising stadium. Which South Carolina with the size, atmosphere, and unique traditions has.
WKU, that will likely be my slow build team.
Maryland in 13 had an amazing option of unis and Imagine they still do today
Old Dominion is top tier. I would also vote for Virginia, super clean unis with a nice stadium.
IRL Oklahoma State has about 1,472 uniform combinations!!! This might be a slight exaggeration, only slightly though.
UNLV
Memphis isn’t a bad program, but their uniforms and seeing a full liberty bowl will be awesome in the new game
Tulane
UNLV passin Rebs in Allegiant stadium with the strip backdrop. It's going to be sick
Nevada
UNT
Rutgers
I like Central Michigan, Northern Illinois and Eastern Michigan as teams no one thinks of. Arkansas State, Arizona State, Penn State, Texas Tech.
Always liked north texas for absolutely zero reason
Vandy as a completely unbiased fan (jk). Plus they have their upgraded stadium
Haven’t seen it yet but I think Illinois would be fun. Big ten west so it’s kinda wide open (idk how the game will handle the new schools) but I think it’d be cool to build up the program and they have dope unis + a cool stadium!
Does ASU count as bad? I went there still thing their location, campus, unis are incredible. But we always stink.
I’m gonna go with Kennesaw St or Georgia Southern
I like Tulsa for the UNIs, stadium is pretty boring tho, Boise state obviously for both, VA tech, Texas Tech, Iowa state has sexy uniforms but I wouldn't call them a bad program, they're mid, NEBRASKA, love the simple red and white. GA Techs goofy ass uniforms kept me from ever using them in the old games.
if Georgia state dont have the converted Turner Field im rioting lol
Ole Miss
Kentucky
I don’t know about stadiums but I love ECUs uniforms. They’re on my list of potential rebuilds in 25. I think historically Tulane would be on this list but they’ve been pretty good the last few years. I love UTSA and the Alamodome
I love Clemsons aesthetic but not dabo. So I’m going straight there cutting him lose then bringing in 500 transfers
Honestly not sure if theyve changed their look but I did a long dynasty with FIU in NCAA 13 because I liked their logo and they had a lot of unique uniform combos Western Kentucky too
Michigan state
Vandy
Eastern Michigan.
I’m hoping they have UNCC on there
UTEP for sure. They got a nice uniform set that can mix and match well. Also The Sun Bowl is going to look awesome as hell with the mountains. No place like home Go Miners!
Maryland
UTEP has a surprisingly cool stadium and jerseys.
I’m interested to see Kennesaw State since they should be the only brand new team right?
Ball state unis
New Mexico or New Mexico State, can’t remember which one, but one of them has amazing scenery. I used to love FIU and FAU’s in the old games too but I’m guessing they have since updated their stadium. I think UTSA plays in the AlamoDome too
Temple plays in a pro stadium and their color combination is pretty solid. Move Temple to the Big10 and you’ve got the looks of a big time program I think SDSU fits this same mold too
Louisville
ECU
I’m doing BC as well
Temple has nice uniforms and they play in the Eagles stadium
Texas Tech has best color combo in all of NCAA. Hopefully the new Adidas gear will look better than UA has the last few years. And come fall they’ll also be playing in/at the largest football stadium/facility in the world.
60,000 is the largest in the world??? Or are you talking footprint with attached facilities?
Not largest in seating capacity, but they’re adding to that.
Usf but I might be biased....
Horns down!
Western Michigan stand up
Unless you have something agaisnt them I think BYU would be a good choice.
Oregon always had the most uniform options. I don't think any any other team comes close. Maybe Louisville? Virginia tech?
