While everyone piles on Jwar... and it should be noted that he and I have been less than friendly,
Regardless of all of the rhetoric about studies and engineers, I can definitely say that the venue for what it's intended for is definitely well below it's hype.
Beautiful setting... yes.. let the little kids play in the goose crap
Beautiful lake
Beautiful neighborhood
Awesome school grounds...
Mayberry at its finest for sure....
Now take all of that away, and rate:
1. The Field ( burned out in August already)
2. The Stands. Smaller than average and a LAME press box
3. The Parking. (Good thing its Glen Ellyn and not A CPS venue
4. And disturbingly weird, the lack of end zone play clocks..
As a venue for post cards, and romance for recruiting, I give it an 11
As a football field. 4
Regardless of the whatever's... jwars position is correct in that if you can't fix it... move.
