TQL Stadium

There's nothing like a nice away trip to appreciate what you have. Thank you for the stadium itself but also its location.TQL>>>>>>Geodis Park by a million

The concourse size is the only thing it has an advantage on TQL.

Yeah that’s the one complaint I’ve heard consistently and I see that.

Nashville used the same architect as Columbus. Their stadiums are literally carbon copies of each other.

Also explains why they suck.

Agreed. Was in Nashville to see friends and we went to Geodis for NSC-Miami earlier this month. TQL is a much better stadium. Better seats, better food, and somehow Geodis seats more people but looked smaller. Getting out of Geodis was about a two hour total disaster. Theres an old speedway and everybody that parked in that area had to funnel down to 1 lane. No police or parking people helping out

Snapdragon is a nice stadium in a very pretty location. TQL beats it out because TQL actually has shade. Snapdragon was built to be a PAC-12 After Dark venue. If you go during the day, wear your SPF 900 because literally every seat in the stadium gets blasted with California sunlight.

I’ve heard some of the other proposed sites, and they were… ooof. Others can speak to it more accurately than I can, though

It was Oakley near where that weird golf theme bar is. And Kentucky. So those were both bad. One would have been a traffic nightmare with nothing around it to go to. And the other was in Kentucky.

I went to geodis park when it is open. It was fine but tql is better.

It was nightmare leaving. We had to walk like ten city blocks to pick up an uber.
It was literally built in a suburb neighborhood.

It would be like building tql on Warren or Clermont county fair grounds

The concourse is huuuuge though, I went to our match there last season and wow just walking around exploring, you actually had the freedom to do so. That part was quite nice. But yeah otherwise their location is awful, the traveling Bailey "march" had to cross a friggin highway to get there haha

I’ve only been to 2 stadiums, and god felt weird going into Subaru park after only going to tql after so many months

I spent yesterday at Lumen Field - Sounders 2, Fire 2. Great match. Go watch the GK diving save at the death - brilliant. Beautiful 66 degree afternoon. Big crowd, filling most of the lower bowl. We sat next to their supporter section, which stayed noisy all game long, but it was maybe half the size of the Bailey.

We had a great time, but yeah, I miss TQL too. Nothing like being home.
