The Wrigley game in 2010? Was so fricking stupid.

NW vs. Illinois it was like playground football make up the rules.

One end zone was so dinky they decided both teams could only score in one end zone so the entire game night was like OT rules and I think both teams just started at the 50.

Just a gimmick game. Almost as bad as that Nascar game, at least the people at Wrigley could see the action without telescopes.

They didn't start at the 50. They did swap the field on every offensive possession due to the low clearance between East end zone and the outfield wall. Defensive touchdowns could still be scored in the East end zone, but offensive plays (i.e. where you can expect the receiver to have to take a hit near the back of the end zone) took place facing West.

Only defending the game because of one unbreakable record: Mikel Leshoure - Most rushing yards in a single cardinal direction (330 yards).
