I thought it looked like crap from the pictures I saw on Twitter yesterday. I thought the mad scientists at Stanford could come up with a grass that lasts the whole year. Must be putting all their time into beating the roid tests.

It looks like a hybrid of Kentucky bluegrass and Sensimilla..

NDdomer2 · Nov 28, 2015

That's what I would imagine the steelers field looked like after Bane split it in half.

The old "home field advantage". Roncalli HS here in Indy used to have a similar field for years. The were known for running the ball 99 out of 100 times. Visitor bleachers were rickety and small. You always felt the could give way at anytime. That was their way of slowing the other team down and keeping the visitors fans quiet. Their winning percentage at home was crazy good. A few years ago the replaced the field with artificial turf and put in new bleachers. They've been about .500 since

If I remember right, USC had similar gripes about us in 2005.

I won't believe Stanford is a legit titan of a program until they get a real fan base.

TheOneWhoKnocks · Nov 28, 2015

Is that an actual pic of field today?

USC is a titan of a program and even they can't fill their stadium. Californians are too kewl for college football.

You say that as if sitting in stands when it's 40 and raining is fun. Plus, loads of schools have warm weather yet it's somehow uniquely detrimental to California and Miami.

I lived in Florida for the first three years of my adult post-college life. 80 degrees in October/November was my personal hell.

But if it's 40/rainy there are no other outside alternatives.

There are allllways those outside alternatives in LA and Miami.

I think another aspect is the "famous/social" angle. Being at some big-time club,restaurant, etc is more high profile socially than to say going to college game for those locales.

An ND game is ALWAYS the best thing happening Saturday in SB

I understand the point about the weather, but that doesn't explain the passion in Texas, Alabama, or Louisiana.

All I can think of is "FOOTBAW"!!!

There are alot of migrated folks in LA/Miami, maybe not so much in Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, etc

There's far more to enjoy on a typical Saturday in Miami or Cali than football, especially if your team isn't good.

Outside of Bama footbaw, what else is there to do around there?

It's not just podunk college towns and college sports though. California and Florida sports fans are shitty in general. Compare a Tampa Bay Rays or Oakland Raiders game to the Eagles or Red Sox. Are you going to tell me that's simply a product of there being nothing better to do in Boston or Philadelphia?

The problem with CA and FL is transplants. Everyone is from somewhere else and those fans take their loyalties with them rather than assimilate to the local teams. That's why the Rays end up looking like the visiting team when they host the Red Sox or Yankees.

No, but I think the different demographics play a role.

The opposite of the greens at Chambers Bay. Those greens had no length... they were just bare. Just awful.

Well color wise they look the same. Maybe if they grew then out it'd be the same
