Cal Berkeley put a crooked line on its new football field, to show it sits on the Hayward Fault

To show its new football field is sitting on one big earthquake fault line — the Hayward Fault — UC Berkeley made a crooked line in the north end zone’s grass.

This is what it looks like up close:

Here’s what SBNation: California Golden Bears thinks about the unusual addition:

On one hand, the fault line isn’t too prominently sticking out, so you really have to look for it to find it. On the other, it’s probably best not to draw that too much attention to an active earthquake fault line that forced the university to enact millions in overdue athletic renovations and have left the athletic department mired in debt. Always compromises to be made in the football life.

Thanks, Sara!
