Well, let's go to our friends, Wikipedia and Google.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011
2011 is...
...the UN's declared International Year of Forests, and International Year of Chemistry.
...the 10th anniversary of 9/11 (and yet, there are two towers on the game field THIS year)
...the 100th anniversary of the Indy 500
...the 150th anniversary of MIT
If anyone decides to actually heavily research events, be on the lookout for other 20th anniversaries
