The field is shoehorned between the third base dugout and the right field fence, leading to tight squeezes behind both end zones. Things grew so cozy on the east end that the goal posts behind it are attached to the fence instead of rising from a stanchion connected to the turf. Some have expressed concern over the layout of the field. Part of one end zone only has six inches of room between the back line and the ivy wall, with only light padding around it. The other end zone lies in front of the third base dugout protected by padding. NESN
If anyone has seen any video everyone and their mother no some kid is going down when Northwestern takes on Illinois. You basically fit a football field in where a football field doesn't belong. I don't know why the NCAA would risk liability to have a game here (maybe Cam Newton is behind this somehow). But this is a dumb idea and if a kid gets seriously injured there will be a lot of finger pointing.
