Saturday Shrines

My wife brought me a present tonight from Costco. A coffee table book called Saturday Shrines by the Sporting News. There is a forward by Keith Jackson. It has great pictures of college football stadiums from around the country. They feature the 40 best and have four pages devoted to the University of Oregon's Autzen Stadium. In part is states: "This place might lack the weighty history of Michigan Stadium or the sheer mass of Tennessee's Neyland stadium, but Autzen Stadium compensates with a megadose of volume..... A better and prettier plan is to park near campus and walk to the game. There's a nice path that winds through dense woods before crossing a 1/4 mile footbridge toward the stadium" It list 10 Magic Moment in the history of Autzen Stadium with # 2 being Kenny Wheaton's The Pick. The defeat of Michigan is #1. Lots of great color pictures. If you love college football it's great book to own. It even has a picture of a Duck on the cover. (may be a west coast edition as it only has Pac 10 schools on the cover.) For some reason Potato Salad stadium ( Oregon State's named for a Donor who owns a patato salad company) is not listed in the top 40
