Review

"I am proud to endorse this much needed compilation of Division I-A's great football stadiums. A splendid job..." -- Coach Vince Dooley, University of Georgia Athletic Director, September 1, 2002

There's no other book available that gives fans so much photography and insight, with a "snapshot" overview of each stadium. -- Paul Maguire, ESPN TV NFL Analyst

From the Publisher

Autumn's Cathedrals was a bold effort on the part of the authors. The Wolfes tirelessly researched the subject and made the commitment to produce the most colorful and interesting book on college football stadiums ever. We looked at the competition and decided to print on a premium paper that would highlight all 117 stadiums in full color glory. The choice of coffee-table sizing allowed the photos to be large enough to depict the grandeur of these bigger-than-life architectural wonders that hold up to 117,000 fans. Each venue received the same treatment and space, no matter how small or out-of-the-way the college.

We felt that this book would make a great gift for family members and friends who are college football fans. No matter what books a fan now owns, Autumn's Cathedrals will be a welcomed addition (probably the centerpiece) to a sports publication collection.(This is the most up-to-date book on college football stadiums)

Okay book, I would have preferred more photographs in the book. The book is an easy read, though I disagree with the rankings of some of the stadiums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Autumn's Cathedrals
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2006
WOW! Great book for sitting back and dreaming. The large photos, from a variety of viewpoints helped me to better visualize the layout and architecture of these grid-iron wonders. Some schools have grand stand shots, some have aerial, some have both full and empty shots. Most schools have several shots and some have old historic photos included. I don't know what the criticism from some of the early reviewers is based on. This book is apparently about stadiums--not fans, not teams, not stats. The authors did a splendid job of creating the most thorough book I've ever seen on the Division 1-A stadiums. The other books only show a few favorite schools or several schools with black and white pictures. This book is oversize and the color pictures go right to the edges of the pages. I have never seen such big pictures, I feel like I'm right there.

The only criticism I have is that Notre Dame is missing a very important past player--Joe Montana. However, being from a small, not so famous conference, I was elated to find a book that included my school, Nevada. All the other books only cover the big, major, popular ones. This is the only book that gave equal treatment of all of them. Thank you for such a thoughtfully executed book. When is the next edition coming out?

5.0 out of 5 stars Autumns"s cathedrals
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2006
As a college football fanatic, I am constantly searching for books on this subject. I am also fascinated by stadium architecture and trivial details. I steered away from this book because of previous reviews I had read. Then I saw a copy at a friend's house and read it. I was so surprised to find this book to be exactly what it claimed to be--A pictorial tour of college football stadiums. (Makes me think the negative comments were from readers who didn't read the words in the title --"Pictorial" and "Stadiums" etc.) There are many books already in existence on the teams, games, and schools, but none that give you a summary view of all the stadiums.

Thank you for producing such a wonderful undertaking--and also for keeping the text as short as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars We keep reading it over and over
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2005
5 stars all the way! Great job Wolfes. I've been waiting for something like this to come out. The color pictures are very inspiring, Although my school's stadium picture was not perfect quality, most were. The authors explained in the front of the book that they contacted all schools to send photography. Apparently some didn't and the smaller schools never get much photo coverage and exposure of their games. Overall, this book is read on a consistent basis in my home for that last two seasons. Several have been bought as gifts for friends.

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2003
This book was the biggest waste of money. All it did was show a picture and give some trivial facts about each stadium. Amazingly, the description of each stadium was almost identical. I guess all Division 1 stadiums must be the same!!! Anyway, a much better book about stadiums is Cathedrals of College Football, which actually has some meaningful text about each stadium.

The pictures are fairly average, but the writing is just awful. Every blurb about each stadium is exactly the same. Nothing about the architectural idiosyncracies of each hallowed ground.
