Actually I think the cooler secret of Sanford is there is a creek running underneath the field and you can actually walk all the way through the tunnel from the Tate side to the cemetery.

For the creek. I thought the culvert was pretty small. I've walked by it often enough.

Can you imagine how cool it would be if LSU sold those old dorms as game day condos... And how much money they'd make?

Aggies bury all previous mascots on stadium property. Not sure they are the only ones.

Georgia doesn't really give a damn about Uga. If they did, they'd build a scoreboard, so that those ashes could watch the game.

I lived in the the Tiger Stadium dorm in the 1986 fall semester. I didn't realize the players lived there too . Must have been on the other side. Players these days never would have even considered living in there as it was very bare. Hard concrete walls, no ac no private bathroom. But I'm glad I can say Tiger Stadium was literaly my home for a while.

Would be incredible.

I'm not even an LSU fan, but I would pay good money for that kind of tailgating/gameday experience.

The large amount of asbestos in them make it unfeasible to do much in the way of renovations without laying out more money than any developer could get out of it. At least that's what I hear.

Even if they're not dead. Time to retire? Bam! Buried alive. True story.

The skeletons are stored at Neyland Stadium in the offices of UT's forensic anthropology department. Shelf after shelf, box after box, each contain a complete human skeleton and there are a lot of them. "There are - in the football stadium there probably 5,000 skeletons," said Bass.

I read the other day that Tiger Stadium has no gate 13. Between gate 12 and 14 is where the visiting team enters.

No, there is a gate 13. And that is where the visitors enter.

So when players constantly get torn ACLs in Neyland, it's just the dead trying to get them to join them.
