I think that was before Stanford imposed the ban on regularly scheduled games during Dead and Finals Weeks, and also before the rise of women's Thanksgiving tournaments - I remember Tennessee games being in that late November slot.
On soccer in the stadium - the reason it sticks in my mind (as a soccer guy) was that I recall seeing/hearing a story that the field would've only had to be about 3-5 yards wider or longer to accommodate international soccer, and remembering the absolutely amazingly wonderful 1994 World Cup game v. Brazil in the old setup. And that John A played a part in making sure that didn't happen.
