Hard to believe the ACC's "partner network" is working 'with' the ACC isnt' it? It is ALWAYS SEC first and take cheap shots at their competition.
Anyway, some interesting rankings about FSU facilities.

I'm disappointed that the most respected voice in college football would play along with some flunky that FSU's facilities are poor. Kirk Herbstreit also assumes Jimbo left because he misses coaching in "Big Games" and misses the rabid SEC fan base. This is just so bogus. FSU's fanbase is just as rabid as any in the SEC and we play in far bigger games than A&M could ever dream of. My God we won 3 ACC titles, Heisman, and a National Title in 5 seasons. A&M has done zero since joining the SEC outside of Johnny Football who turned into a punk and embarrassment. Our facilities are very good, but not over the top like A&M with all that unlimited oil $ they got. It took Andrea Adelson at his own network to debunk the perception that FSUs facilities were poor. Kirk Herbstreit has the ability to move FSU's perception very easily and as you know perception is reality. I'm really disappointed in Kirk Herbstreit and have lost a ton of respect for him over this.

Ranking the Top 25 facilities in college football 2016
7. Florida State
The Seminoles enjoyed one of the nicer updates in the ACC two years ago with their modernized look that included a locker room revamp, the introduction of retired player jerseys and the Bobby Bowden Wall. But wait until you see the players lounge, the primary reason FSU’s moved into the Top 10 in our 2016 facilities rankings.

Power Ranking Top 25 College Football Stadiums of 2016
18. Doak Campbell Stadium, Florida State
Its size has remained the same since adding 300 seats in 2003, but improvements are ongoing to make Doak Campbell Stadium as state-of-the-art as it was when first built for $250,000. That amount nowadays probably doesn't even cover the paint being used in an $85 million renovation that began last year.
New seats are replacing old bleachers, making for a more comfortable experience when Osceola rides Renegade onto the field and plants his spear into the turf to signal game time.
The largest venue in the ACC, Florida State has a distinct advantage at home. The Seminoles take a 21-game home win streak into the 2016 season.

10 best LOOKING stadiums in college football
Shocked an SEC article voted Doak #1, but props to em.
https://www.seccountry.com/sec/10-best-stadiums-in-college-football
"There are nicer stadiums, louder stadiums and even unique stadiums, but when it comes down to looks, what are the 10 best stadiums in college football? Let’s take a look."
Capacity: 82,300
Built: 1950
Last Renovation: 2003
There’s not a better looking stadium in the country than Florida State’s Doak Campbell Stadium. The entire thing is covered with bricks and gives it a castle-like look that is unique only to the Seminoles. Add in the awesome pregame festivities, and it’s hard to find a better stadium."

Guys, I stood in the end zone with Dabo Swinney last year after Clemson had begun its pregame walk thrus. He looked at the brand new massive Jumbotron opposite us and marveled at it. Called it the Jimbo-tron. So yeah really poor facilities at FSU.
Andrea Adelson Retweeted Hank Lee
Going to say this again. I was a student at Florida in the 1990s. There was a marked gap between what Florida had and what Florida State had -- in the Gators' favor. Jimbo Fisher flipped that on its head. Florida State has plenty and locked down the state.
Andrea Adelson Retweeted J.P. Gordon
The facilities are by far the best in the state and right behind Clemson in the ACC. ... He got everything he asked for to modernize and upgrade. ... And let's remember he signed Top 5 recruiting classes every year as a HC.
Andrea Adelson Retweeted Bryan Fischer
The administration helped Jimbo get: Indoor practice facility Updated + upgraded stadium Remodeled coaches offices, locker room, meeting space Current plans for a standalone football facility Also was 6th highest paid coach in the country But sure ..
My son had 26 offers and we visited 19 schools on unofficials before coming to FSU. Anyone that blames a lack of recruiting on our facilities hasn’t traveled much. Besides we weren’t coming to FSU to sit in a jacuzzi with PlayStation. A degree and a chance to be great meant more

Bobby Bowden would have won the ACC with a bag of footballs and six tires for conditioning
