ESPN2 College Football: USF VS UCF..and this is a new stadium?

S

Studio20

..built in the Hurricane Belt?

The minute either teams fans go nuts, the stadium starts shaking as do the ESPN2 Cameras.

Bright House bought the naming rights. Giving UCF's colors, it might be renamed "The House of Straw".

How do you design and build a stadium in this century that shakes like that?

Its almost unwatchable at times.
 
The stadium is all-aluminum, built on the cheap with minimal concrete. It;s stable, but it sure doesnt feel like it.

The stadium probably won't last very long. The people who raid recycling bins will steal parts of the stadium for recycling value.
 
In fairness I've seen other games like that. Of course they were played in my high school's stadium. In all seriousness I haven't seen a shaky camera like that since I watched a replay of a high school game that was locally broadcast here. My wife was walking by and said, "Why is it doing that?" and "Make it stop." during the UCF/USF game.

I hope this doesn't end up into an episode of "Modern Marvels: Engineering Disasters" on the History Channel. Seriously...if the entire stadium is shaking, there is some faulty engineering. I would not want to be within a half a mile of that stadium, let alone inside it.

ESPN did the best they could with their cameras. I suspect the cheapest bidder was the one who built it, and that was after the cheapest architects and designers worked on it.
