Holding just over 29,000 fans, FAU Stadium is the crown-jewel achievement of former head coach Howard Schnellenberger.

Eastern Michigan
The Eagles get the nod here for a truly original football turf experience. Unlike the retina-shattering playing surface of Eastern Washington, the Eagles installed an eye-soothing grey turf prior to the 2014 season.
Maybe there's some magic in that FieldTurf surface as the 2016 EMU squad went 7-5 to make its first bowl appearance since 1987.
