Parking is far and walking is necessary? So a lazy person wrote a review? The parking isn’t nearly as far as a lot of places I’ve been to. And the blurb said our building isn’t that bad now but the atmosphere is bad. What does the game day atmosphere have to do with the stadium?

While I don't know enough about other stadiums to confirm or gripe about the ranking, when you throw in a statement like "Parking is far and walking necessary" you just lose any credibility with me.
It even contradicts the prior statement about lack of attendance. I mean, how far away would you really have to park/walk if no one goes to the games?

Not to mention 3 times this year I have been walking through the parking lot and offered a ride by different student groups who will drive you anywhere on a golf cart.

I read some of the others. For Tulsa they wrote:
Admiring fans describe this stadium with phrases such as "great little football field" — which is telling.
"Nice stadium. Would be a 5 star experience if they could win," writes one Google reviewer.
How do these sentences qualify that stadium as one of the worst in college football?
I have no argument with Scheumann Stadium being on the list. It qualifies in pretty much every category. This article is crap.

Click bait.
Article does have some bad stadiums, sure. Many poorly maintained and by comparison we did not really belong with them except on basis of poor attendance. NOT due to stadium parking or walking...
Poor game day experience, attendance not exactly a revelation. Was it a surprise sparsely attended low level MAC games are not like most of FBS schools?
A hatchet job trolling to get reaction from somebody.

He may be comparing it to the walk from the Yorktown HS parking lot. I've walked much further at most D1 stadiums that I have visited. I liked the Northwestern review: “Concessions? Oh, they have anything you want to eat — as long as it’s a hot dog," writes one TripAdvisor reviewer.We could adopt that review.

Should be titled game day experience rating. If MAC teams filled stadiums and had a good game day experience they would be fun places to be, for example Ball State versus Western in the snow 2008! Same goes for basketball, full arena, regardless of size is fun and exciting.

Of all the stadiums I've been to the only one where you can park closer than BSU was EMU.

I've been to a lot of FBS stadiums, and the walk to Scheumann is easier than 99% of them.
Looks like they just stole some reviews off of Google and Yelp, and picked the teams with losing records. Garbage article for click bait.
If we're just talking about the actual stadium, I'd say Northwestern would top my list, which is a shame, because it has the potential to be a really cool, historic stadium if they'd do a full restoration. Liberty Bowl second. CMU is probably 3rd, but they're doing some renovations. If you want to include part-time college stadiums, Paul Brown Stadium in Cincy is by far the worst place as far as infrastructure. That place should be condemned. You'd think it was 50 years old, when it's only 18.

That's pretty funny. Can I complain about the $10 parking though?

Nothing free about the CVC donor parking. I don't mind making the donation. The money I donate goes to fund player scholarships.

My walk in Clemson and Virginia felt like I started in my own driveway.
