OT: Rutgers Mens Soccer wins the B1G

[RUnTeX]

What are you talking about. One of the best pitches and facilities in the country. That’s a crazy take.

And it debuted almost 30 years ago. The new scoreboard unveiled this year was a welcome upgrade. Thanks to a Rutgers Engineering alumnus for making the donation.

yurchak looks like a high school field...

Well that's not true at all. Yurcak is a well above average college soccer stadium. Also the grass is beautiful.

What’s up with the dirt mounds in the background?

Someone said there will be additional upgrade made in the off-season. Not sure what they are or if that is reality.

outstanding news and Yurcac field is awesome

Women's NCAA was $10 for adults and $5 for kids. I'd expect about the same for the men if we get a home game.

Some reasons to like Rutgers Metric Football if you follow RU Football.

Both teams only score about three points a game but in Soccer you often win with three points.
Both teams punt a lot. In soccer it's the Goalie punting.
Neither team's offense exhibits very effective use of their hands - in soccer it's not necessary!

I'll try to think of more...

It was awesome…. Reminded me when I was there in my youth with Lalas and watching Rob Johnson flip throw ins!!

You're wrong. I'm pretty funny. Why would I hurt myself?

Awesome memory - spent many a night in my childhood going to watch games at RU.

Yurcak is just fine as a venue - great pitch. Agree with poster above they need to move the cameras so it doesn’t look like the field is adjacent to a dirt lot in East Orange.

I think they are definitely building something over there.

If Rutgers happens to get a home game in the first round of the NCAA tourney, I would expect they'll charge for admission. Maybe something like $10.

Elite 8 women's game last November at Yurcak was paid entry. Win over Arkansas to advance to the Final 4 was well worth it.

This is correct all B1G games were free and the WSOC NCAA tourney were not free $5 or $10

Great job, Rutgers! Dominant performance!

I suspect that you will have a midweek home game, and probably on the road over the weekend...

Selection is tonight (Monday)

I suspect he's referring to the views on TV - NOT the actual stadium. The camera views were from the stands side showing the undeveloped side in the background on TV. I know the juice isn't worth the squeeze but RU would be served to move camera positions to the other side of the field.

They would have to move the press box as well, right?
To match the camera position.

Nah. The broadcasters can adjust.

But like I pointed out - the "juice isn't worth the squeeze".

I see what you did there.
