Ohio stadium had a track until 2001.

“Beginning in 2000, the stadium was renovated and expanded in several phases, removing the track and adding additional seating, which raised the capacity to 101,568 by 2001. Since 2007, the capacity is listed at 102,329, though crowds above 105,000 are common. It is the largest stadium by capacity in the state of Ohio, the fourth largest football stadium in the United States, and the seventh largest non-racing stadium in the world. Ohio Stadium “

yes, all of the tracks are being systematically removed…most have been gone for years, and no stadium built anytime recently had one in the first place. Many never had them.

That was my point….the Rose Bowl’s uniquness in this regard is long past the sell by date.

Ironically, the only stadium to ever host a Rose Bowl besides the Rose Bowl…Duke Stadium (now Wade Stadium) DOES still have a track…but it’s due for removal after ‘14 season.
