    Gies Memorial Stadium

    Think what we could have done with a whole new stadium. Every concern here would be addressed by a new stadium. Yes, I have a lot of affection for he old girl, but how many people keep a car for over 100,000 miles? This stadium has over 100 years on it. We need a smaller stadium, not bigger...

    BWI. College Park is on the north side of DC. You’ll be able to get tickets really cheap off seat geek, even midfield. UMd doesn’t care about football.
