JKrun, I believe Bucknell is the only PL school with a track that goes around the football stadium. Is that correct? Yes, you are correct. Most are stuck out in the middle of an empty field, which makes wind an issue. Army is the only one that has a true grandstand, but wind is still an issue there because it is right on the Hudson. We have, by far, the nicest track facility in the Patriot League (not that I'm biased). For the athletes, our track is great. To his credit, Coach Donner has taken full advantage of it by creating the Bison Outdoor Classic. This meet draws nearly a hundred teams, especially for the Friday or Saturday evening distance races. It's also a huge source of revenue for the program. I'm not sure where you would put a track west of 15. There's no way you could hold a meet like that with the track outside the stadium. To me, it would be like moving the track out of Franklin Field. |
