In the big east days i remember pitt vs templeat the vet. With obligatory. Shots of bill cosby
It really is a shame that Temple couldn’t capitalize on their success under Matt Rhule and get an on-campus stadium… they came pretty close.
I always pull for Temple to win (except aainst Pitt
of course). Unlike Pitt in Pitsburgh, Temple is a
total afterthought here in the Philly area (at least
in football). The local media here just accepts
Temple for what it is. The big difference is Temple
here is not criticized, lied about, or ridiculed by
media members like Cook, Madden, and a few more
that Pittsburghers have to endure.
As most know, this is PSU country here in eastern Pa.
ND, UVA, and a few others are accepted here. Pitt
athletics isn't even on the radar here. That's interesting
because Pitt is recognized academically, and recently
even more so now than before. All three universities
are "state related" universities. I always felt that
status should have all three in some sort of continuing
scheduling process, at least in football and basketball.
Home football games are played at a near empty stadium
that Temple shares with the Eagles. Philly and the suburbs
are Eagles country, College football is almost non existent.
Villanova and even nearby U of Delaware have more of a
following in football than does Temple. Let's see how they
do against SMU.

This gives me an opportunity to repeat my plan for Temple
Atlantic 10 football conference
Temple
UMass
UConn (football only)
Memphis
USF
FAU
Rhode Island (up from FCS)
Richmond (up from FCS)
Temple, Memphis, FAU, and USF join the A10 for basketball, which would be a way better conference than the American

It's actually called Subaru Stadium. It's in Chester, PA, on
the waterfront , Delaware River. If ever you cross over
the Commodore Barry Bridge to New Jersey, you can
see that it's next to the bridge, right of RT 95.
It's well out of Philly, a good 30+ plus minutes from the
Temple campus. You're right about the 18,500 seats as
maybe being "perfect for them." I'm certain they wouldn't
get too many fans (the few they have), traveling to
Chester, which is not exactly a "destination" city.
Cook and Co. have an inferiority complex that the writers and radio guys in Philly don't seem to have.
Here's a "for instance." If Temple became a national powerhouse
in football ( I know impossible, LOL) the media here would more
than likely be supportive. You guys are blessed with a media that
would be looking for dirt and negativity if Pitt attained the same
national powerhouse status. By the way, what's the name of that
other negative writer besides Cook and Madden? I think he's a
Pitt grad and is now retired. No doubt in my mind he also had an
agenda.
This sketch looks just a bit better than the Microsoft paint pic of a possible Pitt stadium. Too bad they couldn’t pull it off.It really is a shame that Temple couldn’t capitalize on their success under Matt Rhule and get an on-campus stadium… they came pretty close.
That rendering is accurate as to scale as well as depiction of the crowd size at a Temple home game played in any stadium.It really is a shame that Temple couldn’t capitalize on their success under Matt Rhule and get an on-campus stadium… they came pretty close.
My god this looks like a cat litter boxIt really is a shame that Temple couldn’t capitalize on their success under Matt Rhule and get an on-campus stadium… they came pretty close.
I’ll take Acusire/Heinz any day over that dump
Oh well, 55-0. Just another day in the life of
Temple football. Attendance, 11,000.
Yeah, I took a 5 minute look on tv and the stadium
looked empty. Annonced attendance vs REAL attendance.
No way there was more than 1000. I went through the crowd shots. In their defense, the Phillies were playing.
