Imagine the scene. The PA announcer queues the music. An explosion of smoke and fireworks precedes the bursting out of jacked-up, ravenous players, donned in school colors and ready for contact, onto a freshly painted football field. 68,000 similarly donned fans are aroused from their long winter slumber as they take to their feet to welcome their beloved football team back to the field with a series of shrieks, cries and wails that would make even the most rambunctious of kindergarteners blush.
It's not a pipe dream. In fact, this exact scene played out several times over the past weekend.
