Prices on the resale market of some tickets have dipped below the face values of $325 (for end zone seats) and $385 (yard lines), making it one of the cheapest championship games to attend.

As of 8:30 a.m. ET Monday, nearly 1,000 tickets to the game were selling below face value, according to TiqIQ, a ticket-market data provider.

Yes, Neyland is bigger, and Alabama’s is bigger….and most of the SEC stadia are close, as including Florida who plays FSU and then there’s Clemson and Florida States stadiums too, which are pretty close.

But the fact remains that the tracks have not been at Stanford or Ohio in a while….

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.

“What is an Auburn?”

Auburn, Indiana has a museum that features Auburn’s, Cord’s and Duisenberg’s. Auburn’s and Cord’s were built in Auburn. Duisenberg’s were built in Indianapolis. This museum has a lot more interest for sane people than the BS-BCS encounter in Pasadena.

And btw, is there a way for both teams to lose? That would gladden many hearts around the country.

"I am joking but my point is that they couldnt get two teams further from their fan base than these two. "

I was at the Mobile, Alabama airport last night picking up neighbors who were arriving from Portland, Oregon by-way-of Atlanta.
Anyway, as I was waiting I began talking to a guy who's flight had been cancelled (no details) and he complained that he would have to stay in Mobile for the night mostly due to all the Auburn and FSU fans who were 'mobbing' the Atlanta airport on their way to LA.
(Flights in the NE had already begun to be cancelled due to the weather by that time)
