Snapdragon Stadium has a unique characteristic that's helping a local rugby team win games.

On Saturday night, the San Diego Legion beat Los Angeles 19-18 at Snapdragon Stadium. While the game was closer than expected, the result has become all to familiar to the rest of Major League Rugby:

Interestingly, rugby pitches are not like pro football fields that are all uniform in length and width. Rugby rules allow for variations in size. Snapdragon's pitch is bigger than most of their opponents by, in some cases, 17-hundred square feet and Haigh built the roster with that extra space in mind.
