The Quest for the Outfield


Sean has done a damn fine job chronicling the efforts of the Syracuse Orange to reach a bowl game - any bowl game. Whether it's the Quest for Toronto or the Quest for Beef, he's been meticulously tracking the progress of the Orange as they push towards a post-season berth.

SU is one win away from being bowl eligible, and should they achieve that mark, there's a good chance the team plays in Doug Marrone's home borough of the Bronx in the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl - played in the new Yankee Stadium. So while me might not have beef, we do have seats at the 50 yard line that are really far from the field and the potential for missed field goals to end up in monument park. Seems odd, but at this point, any bowl is a good bowl.

Via Deadspin and Twitter, the pic above is what the stadium looks like when it's set up for football. Army and Notre Dame will be playing there this Saturday.

Rush I was expecting a clip from 80s rockers "The Outfield"

"Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older"

I saw SU play Temple at the Vet a couple of times, it was kind of similar in that the midfield seats were WAAAY far from the action. The best seats were around the 20-yard line on either side.

The thing about seeing SU vs. Temple is you could sit wherever the hell you pleased.
