Nice pic.

The old ones are cool to see.

 

[PredUTor J]

That is cool!! I would love to see more old pics like this.

Someone should start a thread so that fans can post cool pics like this.

I wish I could zoom in a bit, and get a clear pic of the cars.

That appears to be a 1968 Chevy Caprice in the foreground.

I found a site awhile back that had the first stadium and pictures of it after every addition. Very cool.

the station wagon was the 70s SUV, and if you look close, you can see a couple of them.

Thanks for that link. That is just amazing to see how the stadium has developed over the years. Went from a dirt field to the 9th wonder of the world!! I love it!! :thumbsup:

Did anyone notice there was a track around the original field?

I saw those.They sure had some nice styling.

Judging from the vehicles,it looks like it was taken in the early 70's.I would love to see more of these kind of pics.

Thanks SOJ. I had that page book marked many moons ago,but lost it when my PC went down.That site has been up for several years it seems?

Imagine what the stadium will look like when our children/grandchildren grow up. Some new super stadium will probably be built by then.

hopefully a lot like this...

they're sinking something like $250 mil. into the renovations, so once that's done, I imagine it won't be changing much for a long time to come.
