It might be interesting to note though, that it was one of the original stadiums in NCAA 2002. I think the gimmicky blue field might have allowed it to make the cut.

I think the blocking footwork attributes have to do with positioning and quickness. For example on a running play a lineman with high run blocking footwork is more likely to get between the ball carrier and the defender.

My theories:

IMPACT BLOCKING - Ability to block a defender after a running start, probably used mostly for fullbacks and on special teams.

RUN BLOCK STRENGH - Ability to push the defender off the line of scrimmage. Good for straight ahead running plays and short yardage.

RUN BLOCK FOOTWORK - Ability to get between the runner and the defender.

PASS BLOCK STRENGTH - Ability not to get pancaked or pushed into the QB by a bull rusher.

PASS BLOCK FOOTWORK - Ability to stay between the pass rusher and the QB.

My theory is that footwork keeps them from being pancaked. But you could be right, it makes sense if the footwork is great, an OL can readjust himself after a spin by the DL.

A little research has me convinced that this list is not comprehensive. Case in point-Arkansas is not on the list, but their stadium was in the build of the game shown at E3:

BYU's stadium was also confirmed, and they dont host any bowls. Something isnt right with the list.

Yeah I was thinking a team like Arkansas and the kind of stadium they had would be in it this year.

You guys might be right. The list may be off I wish EA would have just released an official list so we could know for sure.
