Teams In The Wrong Stadium

[pcgd]

I understand what you're saying, but a few thoughts:

1: You're zoomed so far out on Boise that of course it'll make a difference between the photos.

2. The fact that the Packers and Jets are wearing different color helmets and pants make them stuck out. Put Boise in orange or white helmets and pants and you have no argument.

I think the point that the Packers, Eagles and Jets aren't attempting to match the green grass exactly is enough to say they are completely different situations. There is a difference between having dark green with other uniform colors on different green surfaces and having the exact same blue color on the entire field and wearing it head to toe.

When the Parramatta Eels won their first National Rugby League title in 1981, their excited fans wrecked the Eels ground, Cumberland Oval, burning down the grandstand, ripping up the boundary fence and stealing anything that could be taken away.

A new stadium had to be built, so from 1982 until 1985 the Eels played their home games at Belmore Oval, the home ground of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, while the new Parramatta Stadium was being constructed. Here are brief highlights of the co-tenants meeting in Round 14 of the 1984 season:

Parramatta Stadium was built in time for the 1986 season, with the Eels playing their first home game there in Round 1 against St George:

The Chicago Rush played a few games at the BMO Harris Bank Center in Rockford, the same place that hosted the first Arena Football game in 1986.

The one year indoor football team The Chicago Knights played at the Victory Sports Complex in Loves Park, Illinois.

Why didn't they talk to MLB when they made the schedule?

[smith03]

The Argos didn't have access to skydome at the beginning of the CFL season due to the Pan-Am games, so they had to schedule a lot of home games late in the season

[kw11333]

Why didn't they talk to MLB when they made the schedule?

The CFL is having attendance problems in their 3 major markets. So I doubt their fanbase (which chooses to watch games at home) will care too much.

LOL at comparing professional photos to a :censored:ty picture taken (probably by a cameraphone) from a game on TV.

[M4One]

Why didn't they talk to MLB when they made the schedule?

It's because nobody expected the Blue Jays to be good this year. The game is being moved because of the potential for a playoff game if the AL East is tied. And, I'm guessing, for TV reasons, that game can't be moved. Same reason as why a Taylor Swift concert got moved in Houston. It would have conflicted with the playoffs.

Read the Argos only have about 5000 season ticket holders, so I doubt it would be a huge deal as there will be more fans in Ottawa.

Slippery Rock University (of Pennsylvania) has hosted a few "home" games at Michigan Stadium, the most recent against Mercyhurst. Read about the tradition here.

Can anyone explain this? 2 DII teams from PA that maybe draw 5K for a regular season game are playing in a 100K stadium in MIchigan?

This makes no sense to me...
