[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 2951347, member: 28"] The thing that makes the Rose Bowl the Rose Bowl are the people and the pageantry, not the structures. Without a heaving mass of the most hard core fans in attendance to scream their lungs out, it's just a glorified scrimmage. The Rose Bowl is over a century old. The tunnels were built by dwarves. The bathrooms were unspeakable. As LVH points out, much of the "experience" is lost because Cali is shut down by the deranged lunatics that run the place. The players would move from chartered plane, to sterile bus, to anodyne hotel, to game, to airport, and home. Bang, boom, ding. A spectacle for TV and nothing else. JerryWorld, OTOH, is a dump. Sure, it's modern and glitzy and all, but it's seemingly constructed out of cheap plastic, and architecturally has all the grace and style of one of Saddam Hussein's palaces. The only saving grace in playing the match there is: Fans. Actual by-Ghod people screaming their lungs out and enjoying the ups and downs of a good game. [/QUOTE]
