Talk:Jones AT&T Stadium

Name
Shouldn't the full name of the stadium appear in the intro paragraph and not in the history? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Almosthonest06 (talk • contribs) 23:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Because the facility's official name is now "Jones AT&T Stadium", that appears in the intro. The longer name appears in the History section since that's what it used to be know as. That's my thinking, at least but that might not be right. →Wordbuilder (talk) 01:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

North-south configuration
I have a question about the "true north-south configuration." First of all, what exactly does that mean? Second of all, I went to look at several stadiums in on Google maps, particularly in satellite view. Jones AT&T stadium is definitely very true north-south orientation. Memorial Stadium (University of Texas) and Kyle Field (A&M University) are visibly off from being in a true-north orientation. The stadium at Oklahoma State (Stillwater, OK) is almost in an east-west orientation. Gerald J. Ford Stadium (Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX) is also visibly off from being true north-south. But there are several other stadiums that appear to be in a true north-south orientation: 1. Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium (University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK) 2. Bill Snyder Football Stadium (Kansas State, Manhattatn, KS) 3. Memorial Stadium at the University of Kansas (Lawrence, KS) 4. Jack Trice Stadium at Iowa State University (Ames, IA) (not quite true-north in satellite view, but closer than SMU) 5. Folsom Stadium at the University of Colorado (Boulder, CO) 6. Memorial Stadium at the University of Nebraska (Lincoln, NB) ...and these are just Big 12 schools. (except Colorado & Nebraska, former Big 12 schools) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.253.122.1 (talk) 22:59, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know if there is a specific requirement regarding north-south configuration. I think it applies to all fields where the the end zones are either roughly or truly north and south. Most fields are set this way since it better keeps the sun out of players' faces, which is why some complain about the orientation of Oklahoma State's Boone Pickens Stadium. →Wordbuilder (talk) 16:04, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Image gallery
We need to focus on fleshing out the "Planning and funding subsection" under "History" in order to provide enough text to move the 1948 image to the article in an aesthetically-pleasing manner. Galleries are generally discouraged (see Image use policy). →Wordbuilder (talk) 14:29, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
