Most places don't put a track around the football field. Looks pretty "small time", if you know what I mean.

You need the grass in the middle so that the throwers have somewhere to practice.

I still hate the look of the endzones. The Diamond crap has always looked like crap to me.

Kansas fans aren't into their football team, so it's hard to fault the decision. It sure takes away from the experience of watching a game person though. No big deal.

Texas has a huge track stadium because they are filthy rich. Drake obviously has their event in a football stadium. This isn't some high school, the Kansas Relays are a very old, major college track event.

edit: also I don't understand how it "takes away from the experience of watching a football game". Why does the track matter? You sit down, see the track, get up, throw your beer away in disgust, and stomp away saying "I saw a track! My day is ruined, I'm going home!"

As a KU fan, I want to point out that I hate the track around the football field. I don’t value KS relays enough to take pride in our football stadium looking like a high school’s.

They aren't going away, and we can't just throw a few bleachers around a local high school track. It also seems really silly to me to build a huge Texas-like track stadium, only to watch it basically sit unused 362 days per year. This aversion to seeing a track around a football field, when the track is actually used for something meaningful, is completely illogical. Seeing grass or astroturf there makes you happy, but a track upsets you? What if they just covered the track up with a joker-hair-green loop of temporary astroturf after the relays are done? Why should that make a difference?
