You’re dealing with a stadium geek here….and I’ve done lots of research on the way tracks ruin football atmopheres…in college and high school. The current Stanford Stadium has never had a track…..as I said. As for Ohio Stadium, if it did, it was long ago removed as the seats in that place are extremely close to the bench areas.
The point is, not having a track around the field as a selling point for the Rose Bowl fan experience is an idea long long long past its sell by date.
I used to run laps in my youth for fitness.
I did it at my old high school track.
I did it at Stanford, Ohio State and Maryland.
While tracks are bad for football fans, they are good for the students who get to run laps there.
