Yeah, I grew up going to Stanford games. Loved that old stadium (”The Farm”). Stanford was generally so bad that usually every week, large sections of the 85,000-seat stadium were empty.

Then, under Bill Walsh, they completely tore down that wonderful old stadium and rebuild a smaller stadium, 50,000 seats. Right after that, Sanford become a perennial top 25/top 10 team and probably could have filled the old stadium. Sigh. These things happen.

I think this 2015 Stanford team may very well be their best ever.

You are probably right but I hardly recognize the new stadium and miss the casual, homey feeling of the old...
Not a Walsh fan but love the present coach...and his leadership shows....
