if you dont see many in real games why practice on them? you need to practice on surfaces you will play on a majority of the time..its makes sense to me..heck id like to see them practice at ATT more and let he players get a better feel for the turn but the peripheral of the stadiums at certain area s of the field so they have better comfort level then opponents at areas of the field lie the old hump at TX stadium that threw farve off most days,,

So there is kind of a little backstory to this Jazzie. So as you know, America cut this song back in the 70s and when they did, it was actually about a kid from Omaha standing on the side of the road, while his Dad changed a flat tire. Being from Omaha, he'd never ever seen the Ocean or just the whole California thing in his life. Imagine coming from Omaha, corn fields as far as the eye can see, cold winters that seem to last forever, little towns with not much to do and you see California? Well, that was it. That experience, lead to the song, Ventura Highway. In truth, there is no Ventura Highway, it's actually the Pacific Coast Highway that the song is written about but it was called Ventura Highway because the boy saw a sign that said "Ventura". It's actually the stretch of Highway between Vandenberg and Lompoc. That boy was Dewey Bunnell, who was the lead singer from America.
