Agreed. After Conduit, that was the weakest BCT field I've ever seen. Hopefully next year brings the return of the Turf being representative of its purse and card location.

Also, why the heck was the synthetic mile allowed to be called the dirt mile? That's like playing MNF games on Wednesdays and still calling it Monday Night Football.
