Some of the posters here around my age can vouch for that Metropolitan stadium setting. Then Vikings coach Bud Grant stood on the sideline, just stared, no emotion, locked in on the game; (imagine a coach less emotional than Tom Landry). Word then was he didn't allow heaters on the Vikings bench, sideline, no matter how cold. Grant reasoned that it was a "distraction" to players.
Can you imagine that these days?? Not.
That sounds like an era I really would have liked.

But I probably would have grown up a Vikings fan had I been watching back then!

I can relate. It was a different age, different era, totally different culture then. Wooden bleachers and quarterbacks were fair game (for DEs, LBers to hit).
And, team owners were not celebrities.

Per the article:

"Here are the results of 111 NFL players voting on the toughest place to play. Some gave multiple answers, so their first choice was worth 2 points, the second worth 1 and third worth 0.5."

LMBO!

AT&T Stadium received two points. Okay. Let's see...

One player voted for AT&T as their first choice for toughest place to play. OR

Two players made AT&T their second choice for toughest place to play. OR

One player made AT&T their second choice, along with two additional players choosing the stadium as their third choice. OR

Four players made AT&T their third choice.



Not sure which scenario is more embarrassing. :facepalm:
What I want to know is who made AT&T their first choice, must be drug tested.

How about Tampa . When they score and the cannons go off you think your at the Barbary coast then you realize it’s just Baker Mayfield thank goodness .
