I am also obsessed with the fact the football field is too far away from the stands ever since the field turf was put in. Can you push this one for me? I'd care more about the lame football team on the field than the viewing distance between you and them.

The reason why there is so much distance between the grandstands and the football field is because of the track that is going in at Brown Field, when it does finally get installed. I honestly feel that the turf should have waited for all of the fundraising money for the F.I.T.T. project to come in, so that the track and turf would have been installed at the same time. At this point, I doubt the track gets installed, so we just have to deal with the stands being further away from the field as we'd like them to be.

One bit of praise for the university. The current HOME page of the university website features the team "on a roll" and in first place. Believe it or not, the hoops team was rarely mentioned on the home page in the recent decade. Plenty of pub for art exhibits etc, but almost no mention of the one VU aspect that was known coast to coast for the last 12 years. Even on the week prior to NCAAs during the bid years. This is a good sign that marketing is getting better. I think the shield and the center court design are also excellent. We are one mascot costume away from really impressive work.
