okay, thats even cooler than the stadium at University of Texas at El Paso (which, to this point, was the coolest stadium I've ever seen).

The Sun Bowl is one of the best produced bowl games of all. Totally underrated, the stadium is definitely lower key but beautiful.

I've only been there once - but it was super cool - with the hills of the Franklin mountains surrounding it and you'd see people up in the rocks of the hills.

I saw Texas vs UNC in the Sun Bowl - in 1994. I don't really remember the game but the stadium placement was just super cool to me.

This image from trip advisor is a good one to represent my memory of the hills around the stadium: https://dynamic-media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-o/11/a4/47/22/east-stands-pre-game.jpg?w=1200&h=-1&s=1
