Burger Bowl
Burger Bowl is an athletic field on the West Campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology, at the intersection of Hemphill Avenue and Ferst Street. It is located behind the Fitten, Freeman, and Montag dorms.
The Burger Bowl is known for its characteristic lack of grass, the prevailing contents of the soil being a mixture of dirt, rocks, and urban debris. The elevated lips that give the green space its bowl-shape lead to the flooding in the field, puddles from heavy rains sometimes leaving the field in a marshy state. The mixture of water, rocks, and miscellaneous debris creates a gritty mud whose grating potential has earned the Bowl a nickname as "The House of Pain" by the home team and visiting competitors alike. In 2010, the bowl was renovated and was leveled, and new sod was laid down.
==History==
The bowl-shaped field picked up the "Burger" name during the 1970s, when Burger King opened a restaurant across Hemphill Avenue from the field.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/rugby/Team%20Info.htm )〕 The Burger King, which closed in the mid-1980s, was next to the site of former Georgia Governor Lester Maddox's Pickrick Cafeteria.
The Burger Bowl was used as a practice area for field events for the 1996 Olympic Games. Following the Olympics, the Atlanta Commission for the Olympic Games (ACOG) had 6 inches of sand placed over the field, and grass sowed in it. This slightly improved drainage of the field, but did nothing to improve grass cover, given the wear and tear it faced as a rugby practice field, with its attendant scrummaging, rucking and mauling.
