Seriously. Who would do that? Why did they move the traditional gridiron placement in the first place? For 48 years (1922-1970) the Chicago Bears played home games at Wrigley Field with the sideline running parallel to the Cubs dugout/3rd base line and the end zone in left field (shown below)...leaving at least some extra room beyond the end line. What genius came up with the new configuration? Report
