Old School Fool Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 My computer is going Old School on me! Love Rollercoaster is playing on iTunes as I type this!Man, football really didn't look as bad back then as I thought. That's some pretty neat presentation they got going there.

DrBear Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Not only that - but I had forgotten that cheezy music...And note to youngsters - yes, that is Ron Jaworski of Monday Night Football quarterbacking for the Iggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my love for old-school just came from me watching NFL Films instead of cartoons when I was little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGivens87 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Amid all of the talk of ol' school football, anyone notice how much "darker" it was in that film? Stadium lighting back in the day was obviously inferior to the lighting systems they have at stadiums today. That Vikes game definitely has that "days of old" feeling to it, whereas today, all of the stadiums must maintain a certain minimum candlepower (sp?) to light the field (which I'm sure they had back then, but it's much greater today, I would assume). Reminds me of playing football in the backyard on a cold and overcast day. A large cheese pizza, just for me.New England's source for soccer newsAnd hey, I made it to ESPN!

Blue Falcon Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Thanks for posting that. Good times.I will never understand why teams like the Vikings give up an enormous home-field advantage by playing in a dome.Because the owners care more about fans filling the stadium than anything else...hard to fill a 75,000 seat stadium when it's freezing outside.

leedsunited Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 No, it isn't. God bless Green Bay. Wish the rest of the NFL towns felt the same way about their team and stadium... We wouldn't have insane Nike piping on the unis and soulless indoor mausoleums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Blame global warming.But if the Vikings can sell out that awful warehouse, why couldn't they sell out an open-air stadium?

Gothamite Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Granted, the Old Met was a much smaller park, but I have a feeling that the Vikings could fill an open-air stadium nowadays too.Not buying that as a serious argument.

Old School Fool Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Don't forget that the Colts are moving into Lucas Oil Field next year, so watching Colts home games won't be so crappy of a feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Don't forget that the Colts are moving into Lucas Oil Field next year, so watching Colts home games won't be so crappy of a feeling.Sadly, the Vikings arent anywhere close to getting that done, or started, or anything. Additionaly, the longer they delay, the more $$$$ is costs, which is the whole issue itself, so.... yeah. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Would love to see the Superdome replaced with this:The roof design is cool (Crescent City and all) and I presume the water there is the river, though if they want it to look real they need to color it mud brown. It would be great to have a landing like AT&T Park so fans could arrive from the Westbank via special ferries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I'd love to see them build that. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Saints, and they really have to get out of that awful park. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
