Observations from the concert tonight... Vid and pics added

Its like explaining what an orgasm feels like to a 5 year old.

CowboyWay, that is a very puzzling and disturbing analogy. I know you didn't mean anything by it and you are swept away with enthusiasm but wow an excited human mind is something else, lol.

That was definitely an odd analogy. I'm sure he didnt mean anything either, but, dude, no, i DONT know what its like explaining an orgasm to a five year old.
Thanks for the pix though. Looks cool.

I already miss Texas Stadium.

I hear ya...speaking of which, when are they blowing that place up or have they?

 

[Hostile]

I think I had an accident.

Thanks for the report. That was great.

Looks like there were a lot of people there. What were the ticket prices and parking costs?

according to an article I read, there were 60,188 in attendance. Ticket prices are $137.50 for floor seats, $104.50 for the 100-level club seats, and $71.50 and $38.50 for the 200- and 300-level club seats, respectively.

For a concert that is unreal.

For a punter to hit the screen in a serious punt at a 45 degree trajectory, the punt would travel 106 yards. Know anyone can hit it from one endzone to the other with a little extra?

It's be hashed and rehashed, but it's almost impossible to hit it during normal game play.

Thanks for the insight...yep, you are right....that would be one hell of a punt.

Two more videos. I went to bed last night before they were finished uploading to youtube.

I already miss Texas Stadium.

Yeah, it's going to take me a while to get used to the news digs. Nothing will be the original house with the whole in the roof. To much tradition to just forget how special that place was.

I know what you mean. As exciting as it was last night, there was some sadness there too. Texas Stadium had character and a ton of tradition.

If there were only 60,000 in attendance, I'll eat my shoe. That place was PACKED. The radio stations there were reporting over 90,000.

 

[LandryFan]

That's a nice report, thanks!

I'm very encouraged to hear that the stadium seems to be a loud place (retaining crowd noise). This could be one of the most important features of the stadium ....

My thoughts, too, when I read that, Zero.

Just watch them when they hear the ice cream truck coming down the street. Same thing.

 

[Clove]

CowboyWay, excellent report letting us know the in's and out's of this thing in case we want to show up.

Good thing I don't drink though.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Great report, thanks for sharing.

That's not correct. Its 106 feet as the height of the board is 90 feet, not yards.

And actually, I think it is more like 127 feet. So, were talking about 42-43 yards at the 45 degree.

However, no punt travels at that straight line. Its an arc and that is how far a punt would have to travel on that 45 degree just to get to the board. In an ideal scenario, you'd have to double that distance to account for the punt coming back down. Ideally, the punt should spend equal time raising and falling.

So in reality, we're talking about 85 yards traveling along its diagonals, resulting in a punt of about 60 yards.

McBriar averages 45 yards for his career. That's total distance so cut that in half and you have the rising distance of his punt. Going with the 45 degree estimate, the height should be equal to the distance so his punts reach about 67.5 feet.

But.......there's more.

Punts aren't measured from the kick, they are measured from the LOS. How far back is a punter, 15 yards?

Add that in to McBriar's average and we're seeing a kick travel 60 yards.

I'm looking forward to pooch punts. I really don't know the angle of a punt but if a pooch makes that 45 degree into a 50 degree at the expense of 10 yards, the height of the ball is going to get really close. A punt registering 35 yards (traveling a total of 50) at 50 degrees will reach a height of 89.4 feet.

Maybe someone can check the math but I think that is how it breaks down.

Is it gonna hit the thing? I dunno but it wouldn't shock me at all to see it happen.

I bet you a punter could hit it if they tried

I bet the Rookie Norris could bring that beast down with one kick.

A round house at that :laugh2:
