[NU Sports] The end zone

[Jonathan Hodges]

Thick padding has been added all along the wall (it's actually
painted/designed to look like ivy, but with an Allstate logo conveniently
placed) to try and prevent such situations.  But, it is indeed a tight fit,
and along about half of the east end zone there is just 6" clearance between
the back of the end zone and the wall.  It is an improvement over old Bears
games, when the field went north-south and a corner of the south end zone
was actually cut off by the dugout (which was covered, thankfully).

In any case, I doubt we'll see many running grabs in the back of that end
zone.
