I grew up in the 60’s, 70’s, & 80’s, & watched lots of football. It occurs to me after seeing this, these things were what made it fun!<br>And everyone remembers Tom Dempsey, I think!

I remember walking across an old school astroturf field and being absolutely shocked how hard it was. It was just a rug over concrete.

I remember the old World Football League, where the goalposts were at the back of the end zone. The NFL adopted the change right after them.

Cleveland Stadium was one of the largest (80,000) so we wouldnt get the games on tv, while other stadiums like Pittsburg had much smaller stadiums.
