Correct, it did not reach the NCAA football requirement of the wall paddling being 10 yards away from the endzone.

Yet, the Chicago Bears played at Wrigley until 1970. The Arizona Cardinals, which played in Chicago until the 1960s, played at Wrigley in the 1930s. If you remember Soldier Field in the 1970s, the bleachers used at the north end had been used by the Bears at Wrigley.

@@kentfrederick8929 probably a newer safety thing, that game was played in 2010

​@@kentfrederick8929the way they layed the field out in Wrigley when the Bears played there was awkward too, with one end zone going to the left-center wall, and the other end zone being partially cut off by a dugout. While no one fell into a dugout while playing (to my knowledge), I think Bronco Nigurski did end up running head first into the outfield wall, knocking himself silly.

i remember when that happened, they made the ruling on that the friday before that game

The only time tickey prices would be kinda justified

They've played soccer games in the infield trioval grass before. There's also enough room to put a football field in the same place. There's also a lot of room in the infield road course section between the east and west horseshoes, you could probably fit a football field there and put temp seating around it. Or they could put down turf where the battle at the beach used to take place down the superstretch, but I find that to be a more unlikely option.

Only played one there. The first one. The rest were at Qwest Field after it was completed.

Florida-Georgia has been played in Jacksonville 90 times.

Also, it's a treat for Georgia fans that live in southern GA that may not be willing to make the long drive to Athens nor a trip to Gainsville. Your premise and mine are why I support the Razorbacks continuing to play football games in Little Rock. Supports the economy for both LR and central AR and provides fans in central, southern, and eastern AR a short drive to see the Hogs.

Its really not

They billed that game as the most important game ever played until they realized how ridiculous that was with Tennessee in 2016 and Virginia Tech.

Cal also played a season at Oracle Park back in 2011 when Memorial Stadium in Berkeley was getting renovated

It absolutely is weird to play American college football in another continent The NFL does it to try and build a global empire and possibly expand there one day College football just does it for the sake of "lmao wouldnt it be cool if we played a game in Ireland" It's not the stadium itself that's "weird", it's the location. Though it's still pretty freaking weird if you've only ever seen football stadiums before Saying this as a fan of the Ireland games btw

still do it that way (dual posts, in the end zone) in rugby, and Canadian football still has its goal posts on the goal line. Many high school football fields in Canada use a hybrid soccer/rugby/football goal post as the field length is about the same (110 yards).

That right field wall is pretty weird. Maybe it was set up differently back then or something.

I am pretty sure that safety standards were vastly different back then.

@@StandStrong614 When the Bears played there the football field went from the first base side towards left field instead.

@@johnnewman7373The north end zone was only 8 yards deep and the goal posts were on the goal line

I remember that too I watch the game on TV that was awesome they could play more college football games and guaranteed rate field in my opinion

I'm surprised that's not hosted in Mile High Stadium in Denver.

​@@charleswebsterjr.6350The Army at Air Force game this year is at Mile High on 11/4.

I remember that I wasn't bad for football off of soccer

@dontedrake2316 I seen the soccer configuration. Not bad, good temporary while they were finishing Lumen/CenturyLink.

​@@DebitAdamsSightlines were actually great for Soccer and Football at Safeco. Seattle Bowl's mistake was leaving for Qwest Field. The novelty playing Football and Soccer at Safeco is what made those games fun. Moving the playing of those Seattle Bowl's to Qwest Field kinda became that game's downfall.

@@WONDERHOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I like unique venues for bowl games. I hope the Holiday Bowl stays at Petco Park.

And the south end zone ran into the 1st base dugout and wasn't even 10 yards. It was weird.

@@Edge21190It was the north end zone and it was only 8 yards deep

Safety standards were very different when the Chicago Bears played at Wrigley Field.

That wouldn't work Tracks too massive But theres a nascar track (all be it a bottom tier nascar sanctioned series) that has a football field built into it It is the former home of Wake Forest it's called Bowman Gray Stadium

​​​@@wolfgamingnetwork3542 "too massive" is not the problem. You're implying they would put it in the infield which isnt even possible because of the road course, sandtraps, buildings, dirt track, golf course, and grandstands, and access roads. They could simply paint yard lines and end zones on the backstretch grass and put seats down the backstretch asphalt and then boom you have a football field. The reason they dont do it is because there's a concrete wall on one side and they'd probably have to take it down to make room for the sideline.

Just like the Lions used to play at Tiger Stadium.

Until 2 games in 1973

@@michaelleroy9281 yes, that is true. Until 1976 when NY football Giants games moved from New Haven, CT to the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
