We would make the drive to the Colessium to watch most of the games. $1.25 for the cheap seats near the torch end of the stadium.!!!!
The city supported that team really well, especially during the playoffs which were many years in a row. (Minny and Dallas were usually the main foes)...Yes, Tarkenton and Staubach...I'm that old.
I got Merlin Olsons autograph on his rookie card, that sucker is worth a LOT of money.
Anyway, It didn't sound to me like he was dissing the fans that much, that stadium is cavernous and the seats are far from the field. I used to bring binoculars. Of course I was sitting higher than where birds fly. Back then you could bring small ice chests in. with anything in them !!!!

Tarkenton and Staubach? How about Roman Gabriel, John Brodie, Bart Starr, Sonny Jorgenson, and Norn Snead?
And here's a trivia tip: Bobby Wagner's alma mater is Utah State, but he is not the best football player to hail from there (at least not yet). Who is?
The answer is your autograph score: Merlin Olsen.

I knew that. Really.
NorthHawk wrote:The animosity started in the Grey Cup where Mosca cheap shotted RB Willie Fleming (from I think Oregon) and pretty much ended the BC Lions hopes of a win. They never let it go.

RiverDog wrote:No need for the "really". I believe you. IMO you'd be the ultimate challenge in a 60's NFL trivia quiz.
