Fake News Department: Stanfurd Stadium - "new design"

I have to rate this on par with all the other "fake news" organizations - The Onion, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Fox News. This one from HULIQ.com


The 115-year old Cal-Stanford Football game has been apart [sic] of sports for at least the last 100 years. Now that is all going to change. Due to a radical new stadium design for the Stanford Stadium fans will no longer be able to go and watch the game.

Architect Hewey Johnson from Hewey Architects & More has come up with a jaw dropping design for the new Standford [sic] Stadium. The renovation will not only cost $90 million to do, but will cut out the audience seating completely.

“My idea was to cut out all the noise and the crowds and make the field more handicap accessible.” Hewey said. “What happens at football games where you have thousands of people? They drink and and eat and leave garbage all over the place. Well people have to pick all the garbage up. I’m simply helping the littering problem. “

Assistant athletic director Marty Tinker had this to say. “I’m not sure why we picked this design. I think the committee was clearly drunk or asleep when this brain fart came up for discussion.”

Cal fans are equally angry at this change. As many as 30,000 fans a year would go to this “Big Game” and now they will be shut out as well. Monday as many as 300 people took to the streets to march in protest of this stadium alteration but in the middle of the march it turned into a “I HATE BUSH” march.
