Proof that VT engineers are better than UVA engineers

During the game today between UVgay and GT it's pouring. While the fairies in the stands wearing suits and sundresses are quickly leaving the game to rush home for their cheese and wine parties the football game actually continues to be played. Raycom decided to show how hard it was raining by showing the following picture of the football field's drainage system.
In one of my classes recently we got tours of all the stadiums here in Blacksburg and the class was explained how complex the drainage system is at Lane Stadium allowing the team to play through games such as Miami this year and BC a few years ago with very little puddling or any problems. What does UVA use as a drainage system? They drain the water from the stands DIRECTLY ON THE FIELD!!!! How does this make any sense at all? I guess they sure don't want people's feet wet in the stands so they are going to get it out of there and right on the field.
