one open end.

oddly placed stands in that open end.

disproportionate upper decks.

and worst of all, that crappy 1970s method of putting the track around the football field. might as well be watching a NASCAR race.

It'll be one of the nicest stadiums you'll ever sit in.

maybe if I like looking at the water or mountains instead of the action. That is a long way from the other end of the field. Blech.

Be glad you're still vertical. Don't you own some binos?

UW has been talking about yanking out the track and making major renovations for years and can never get enough money together to do it

Damn man, maybe they'll have a track meet going at the same time, so you'll be close enough to see something.

I'm actually glad we ended up getting tickets from Washington. We're in section 47 but it's still closer to the field than where y'all will be.

Very few Stadiums are like Tiger Stadium. The design of TS is great in that it goes up more vertically than most other stadiums. This gives a little closer to the action and better sight lines.

Stadiums like at UTenn and Michigan are very low lieing and wide in comparison.

a good west coast host like yourself should trade me straight up so my little girl can see blood spurt when Montgomery rips Locker's head off.

If it's action we wanted we would be playing USC instead of Wash.

You're right though, I meant in terms of uniqueness.

This game could turn like the Arizona game of 2003. They'll be escorting the women and children out early.

In some parts of the stadium, yes...but have you ever sat in the north endzone? By the time you get half way up, you are getting pretty far from the field.

I see you've captured the same curvature of the earth that I see after drinking several vodka drinks before an LSU game.

Sec 6 is great, we are in forty something.

That track inside the stadium thing just sucks. I don't know any stadiums with that that don't look retarded and have expansion issues. Look at Texas.
