Who's track is used for Olympic Trials every four years and NCAA championships quite often?

Certainly not the one at the Manure Pile, Huckleberry.

BTW, I never made a claim for Hornet Field to be included in this poll. Quit trolling, dude.

I have seen High School Stadiums in Ohio look better.

Wow...First of all I wasn't posting the pictures for your approval, just to give some different looks at the stadium. Ohio must have their football on a whole nother level...They have 22000+ facilities that sell out every game, and natural grass that is used in the soccer world cup that can take a foot of rain every hour for ten hours, two press boxes. Whatever, I'll take your word for it. Delaware is getting a complete renovation soon anyway, maybe then they can compete with the high schools in Ohio. I gotta make that trip out there to see a high school game then. If Delaware is say in the top 5 for FCS stadiums then going by what you said Ohio stadiums would be higher ranked and deserve to be in this competition if not win it all together. Just to research a little before I posted (so I don't sound like an idiot) I took a look at some of the HS stadiums in Ohio... http://www.freewebs.com/ohiostadiums/index.htm
They are nice stadiums, better than any HS stadium we have in DE but don't compare them to the University of Delaware. They are probably better than most of the FCS college stadiums because many play in small stadiums with pretty much nothing. I know those probably aren't the "best stadiums" in Ohio but whatever (google only gets you so far).

I do want to add that is my site he posted, and it hasn't been updated in about 5 years. There are renovated stadiums, larger stadiums, and some big ones I didn't even post. Final Results are about to be published!

We are just days away from launching a site just like that for the FCS.

Drop me a PM and I will give you a preview.

Relax dude, it was a joke. The US Track and Field Trials are held at Sac State for good reason, namely weather. But if anybody in Sactown is gonna take Hornet Football serious, you guys really need a field of your own, or at least, downsize your seating until you can fill the arena. As for our Manure Pile, I can't remember the last time the Hornets managed a win on it. (though, you'll probably tell me) They'll never get another chance though, as we now enter a new era of Aggie Football at a first class facility primarily paid for by UC Davis students.

Our last win in Davis? I couldn't tell you without looking it up, but it was probably during the O'Brien Administration. At least not any closer than when the immortal Angus McClure played for Sac. It certainly didn't happen during my years at Sac ('97-'99).

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
