I love the Penn Relays but Franklin Field is an awful place to hold USTAF.
Penn Relays is great because of the crowd and because there are so many races going off one after another.
The crowd mostly consists of all of these competitors and their friends and family.
You're not going to get a good crowd there for USATF.
The track is odd shaped and has really 5 lanes.
Because the track goes to the brick wall, the view is bad for almost any seat.
The seats are uncomfortable.
The bathroom facilities are terrible.
Not a great area to do the warm-ups.
The quantity of people and the tradition makes the meet great.
Not great for a nationals meet, though.
