This reminds me of that TCU player the other night going head first into the wall against San Diego St. Bet they move those bleachers ASAP.

I'm not a fan of doing something gay and unnecessary to get attention for your football program. Wrigley Field is cute and all, but this just reeks of gayness.

wow...half the red zone pass plays can't even be executed. The goal post is mounted to the wall and the padding is painted with ivy. a friend of mine lives up there and says they shortened each yard an inch or two and that the end zones may not be a full 10 yards. don't throw back corner fades...i am surprised the schools, conference and ncaa are going for this. It is cool, but no way safe at the college level.

after iowa lost to northwestern this week, the luster came off of the iowa/ohio state game .. there's really nothing left for this week, so i guess they went for the novelty angle ...

doesn't notre dame play army at yankee stadium this week ? or is that later ?

Because the endzone went into the first base dugout.

Many claim that when the Bears played at Wrigley years ago, that the end zones were 8-9 yards deep and players claimed the field was short.
