**stealthyburrito** · 11-18-10, 04:31 PM

padded wall nismo.

**ZetaPsi808** · 11-18-10, 04:32 PM

yankee stadium is doing a similar thing, hosting an army-notre dame football game

**Brock Landers** · 11-18-10, 04:32 PM

padding...6 inches to the wall though, the field is orientated differently, for some reason, than it was when the bears played there...used to be vistors dugout, out to left field

**blackbeSSt** · 11-18-10, 04:36 PM

padding wont' help much if they are running full speed and looking back for the ball with no time to brace themselves

**Nismo** · 11-18-10, 05:07 PM

Good idea with the padding.

**antifoil** · 11-18-10, 06:45 PM

i would tell the qb i am not running that route if i am going to hit the wall

**jmush** · 11-18-10, 06:50 PM

should be a hell of a game.

**Deuce** · 11-18-10, 10:05 PM

Someone will get hurt. Bad move.

**big joe 1212** · 11-18-10, 10:06 PM

Can't wait to see the layout and see Army whip some ass!

They used to have the posts in the middle of the end zone! They are big boys they will be fine.

**harlee71** · 11-18-10, 10:21 PM

Yeah, that just doesn't look safe!

**Maverick11** · 11-18-10, 10:26 PM

Why are they playing the game there? Looks unsafe to me.

**gimme2dollars** · 11-18-10, 10:48 PM

I went to the Redwings vs Blackhawks game at Wrigley a few years ago. Cool experience, but a crappy venue for a hockey game.

to sell tickets, and it worked well

How will the punter punt if the ball is on the 1 yard line?

Very carefully.

What if he wants to take a safety. There is no where to go!

**Deuce** · 11-19-10, 01:35 PM

Only using one endzone now. That is fukking unreal. Don't even play there, waste of time.

Safety issue closes one end zone at Wrigley

The Big Ten announced that only one end zone will be used at Wrigley Field on Saturday for the Illinois-Northwestern game because of safety concerns.

Just heard that on ESPN

How stupid!

**IEDodgerFan** · 11-19-10, 02:45 PM

I've been a hole the last week or so, who's playing football at Wrigley Field?

**cadillac pete** · 11-19-10, 02:48 PM

Another stupid marketing gimick that is horrible just for the schools to make more $. And they wonder why these kids take $ themselves.

**dodger33** · 11-19-10, 03:09 PM

How many seats can wrigley hold. It can't be more than either teams home stadium right?

And this whole go one way thing really pisses me off what the fuk. Are they going to play in skirts and play soggy waffle at half time?

**pavyracer** · 11-19-10, 03:12 PM

Safety first gentlemen. We can't let these kids slam on the brick wall head first like freight trains.

**d2bets** · 11-19-10, 03:13 PM

NE winds 10-20mph

Anyone analyze this?

Offense should be all going west. If the wind is out of the east then I think that means east to west so the wind should be mostly at the back of the offense. Sound right? Basically from a baseball perspective the wind is blowing in. So it should blow across a little and at the back of the offense.

Probably not too much effect. Might help for some long FG's I suppose.

**Nismo** · 11-19-10, 04:23 PM

Gonna be a hoot. Cant wait.

Don't forget the Cubs' take at the gate. The only reason the Cubs president is pissed is he knows it could hurt his chances to do this again in the future and rake in more moolah while his team isn't generating any revenue.

**ehp6737** · 11-19-10, 04:33 PM

This game should only take about 6 hours

They're going to have to re-spot the ball and the teams on the other side of the field everytime there is a change of possession. (for the most part anyway depending on field position) wtf?

**Bluehorseshoe** · 11-19-10, 04:37 PM

In my best Seinfeld voice.... "Who are the geniuses who came up with this one??"

**RudyRuetigger** · 11-19-10, 06:27 PM

i need the odds on someone scoring in that endzone
