Partially true statement. The seating wsa not reduced per se, but the new Yankee Stadium was a totally new building that was built across the street from the old one. Old Yankee Stadium had 80K seating capacity, New Yankee Stadium can hold 54K for football events.
Like Gamecock Jacque stated, I was referring to Kezar Stadium in San Francisco, not Yankee Stadium.

I'm glad we didn't make a crap bowl. At least Beamer has been able to focus on revamping our team from bottom up.

Well the Tigers didn’t look very good today.
I know at least one (and maybe both)of our new coaches were there for PSU. It’s interesting that the preseason #4 team and their preseason Heisman candidate could only score one touchdown. I’m sure the cold affected them, but Penn State played pretty well with their interim coach.

ACC in classic form. Haynes King, the greatest QB in Georgia tech's recent history, ends his career with an interception and a loss.

Partially true statement. Old Yankee stadium did hold 80,000+ until about 1927. Renovations over the years generally and gradually reduced the capacity until the big renovation in 1971 reduced it to about 54,000 (this was about the same time the Giants moved to the Meadowlands). Capacity remained around 54,000 - 57,000 until the stadium's final year in 2005.

That 1971 renovation took away the beautiful balustraded facade around the top of the upper deck. They might as well have razed the entire stadium when they did that, as far as I was concerned.

At home, nonetheless....
I think the home team isnt as advataged as Other Home games. The Conference brings the refs from the Visiting team. I do think the Booth Review is from the home team. But if you are an ACC ref, and get paid by the ACC and is dependent upon the ACC to be good, You may sway your judgement.

And the mirror image when we visit Pickens County.
