Rice Stadium — Attraction in Houston

Tried to attend the Rice v Navy game yesterday, 3pm scheduled kickoff. It was raining, and apparently there was SHEET (NOT bolt) lightning about 10 minutes beforehand. The game was delayed. Rice made NO attempt to either inform or update the crowd as to when the game might start.

The only visible attempts to update are around the bathroom entrances: they have glued tiles onto the old...

The cameras are atrocious. Every time they show a replay on the screen, its from this blurry security camera behind the goalposts and the ball isnt even in the frame of view half the time. When they do have a camera guy directing the camera at players during action, there were at least 6 instances where the camera guy was just focusing in on receivers running routes and there wasnt a pass directed at them, so you couldnt even see the play. as for the rest of the stadium idk, the camera situation was...
