Saluki Stadium
The Beer Philosopher kindly provides a shot of Saluki Statium during tonight's first ever game in the new confines. Needless to say, it's not exactly burstin' at the seams.
Bear in mind, this photo was taken about 15 minutes before kick-off. Many tailgaters - and a lot of students - hadn't made it up to their seats yet. The attendance was actually a sell-out at 15,200+. Even the grassy area at the north end-zone filled up. An impressive sight.
