@Colter_Nuanez you mention in a recent pod that the Champion center is a gem of the FCS. And I've heard geiz fans bragging about it. I've never been inside either one. From the outside they are just square buildings. Nothing fancy. For those of us that have never neen inside can you tell us what makes the one so much the gem the other one isn't? The BAC was built after the CC so I would've assumed they were on equal footing, if not the BAC having "better" stuff as a result of being newer. So I'm just curious what each has different than the other.
I know you're taking some time off so this may not get answered until next week. Have a merry Christmas CN.

I've been in both. The difference reflects the philosophies of the two programs. Ours is a working person's space honoring team achievements. The CC is mostly dedicated to honoring individual accomplishments of their players and teams (mostly ancient history now.)

Ours is a functional building.
That one is a museum is how it’s been described.
Museum of ancient history at this date.

Isn't that what griz rely on is the past? Instead of looking to the future. That is why they are so irrelevant.

If you are curious about UMs facilities, here is a video of former Griz Kicker Adam Botkin touring them with Eli Gillman before the season this year... You are right. Looks like an old museum with a fresh coat of paint slapped on it...
Our facility has yet to be toured by one of these YouTube guys, but I remember Simeon Woodard did a couple of Vlogs last year leading up to the National Title game. That's the most I've seen on our BAC.

I put a bunch of pictures of the BAC up on BN during and after its construction. Go back and locate that thread.
