Those trees are... trees, I guess. Huge trees. Real timber. None of this purpose grown stuff for the pulp mill. Not even Toledo has anything that big. According to Wikipedia, it is the highest Div 1 college football stadium (altitude 7,215ft).

Officially, Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium is 7,220 feet above mean sea level at the 50 yard line. They make no secret that the "War" is highest stadium in the US as the elevation is painted on both stands. There is even a sign in the visitor's lockerroom that says:

"Welcome to 7,220 feet above sea level. How's your oxgen?"

That's about the same elevation as Lake Tahoe, isn't it? Just the right altitude for a ski resort to start at. Man, do I love the mountains. All that fresh air! I've done Jackson Hole a few times. The skiing is as good as anywhere I've enjoyed in the northern hemisphere, and better than most. Wyoming's got the lot as far as I'm concerned.

You've apparently never been to Folsom Field in Boulder.
Hi-Oooh.

Wow, I hope I would never sit in the top row of that! By the time you got to your seat, it would be halftime, and talk about nosebleeds!

Two words for Coach Hillmann: hyperbaric chamber. I believe former Ohio State receiver Anthony Gonzales knows where you can get them cheap.

Duh... Missed that completely. In THAT respect, Boulder is probably four or five times "higher" than Laramie.
