I seem to remember during the '93 CONCACAF Gold cup we had actual bath tubs for people to all piss in. I think in the World Cup too, but I don't think I ever went during any of the games. come on dude, those seats were easier to bang than Kovalenko's mom. Plus they were fun, oh memories..
I was at the Cotton Bowl for the WC '94 matches, but can't remember how the bathrooms were. Actually, the only time I think I went into one was right before the opening kick-off when I got ash from the friggin' fireworks in my eye. I missed the first 15 minutes of the game trying to ease the searing pain. However, bathtubs in the bathrooms makes me long for the days of going to high school games at Farrington Field in Ft Worth. As recent as the early 90's the facilities there basically consisted of a wall to piss on. As a youngster I found it highly entertaining. I've always been easily amused, though. Also, I'm I the only one who thought the Cotton Bowl had the least amount of legroom possible under the laws of physics?
What's with you people and the Cotton Bowl seats? Sure the rows were a little close together for tall people and yeah, I ripped a pair of pants on a burr once, but jeez, I have no idea what the big deal is. Wait until you've spent 2 1/2 hours on a bleacher. You'll be wishing you had those awful Cotton Bowl seats. Remember, with these anticipated sellouts, there will be no leaning back and getting comfortable. You'll be bolt upright and elbow to elbow with your neighbor all game. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the team will have a chance to fill a stadium and possibly make some money, but the comfort level will be degraded.
Yeah, but if there's lots of people around, all you have to do is lean in any direction and you have your support!.. unless you grope, of course ;-)
I apologize for bringing this thread back to the top of the list - but my God THAT'S FUNNY!!!!!!! I'll chuckle all afternoon. Thanks, man.
I won't miss the food cause I never ate it.. I won't miss those stinky,nasty bathrooms..I won't miss walking 5 miles from the parking lot.i won't miss downtown traffic snarls when the hockey team is playing.Gee, I won't miss alot of things.Oh, and I won't miss the National team playing there. Cause they never do!!
I won't miss the impossibly small aisles. And the drive to Dallas (since I know live about ten minutes from the stadium!)
I actually enjoyed the drive to Downtown. I live 15 mins from the new Shitlake stadium and i live 30 mins from the Cotton Bowl. I thought it was cool to go downtown and see all the big buildings and all the clubs and such. I guess I'm just a city guy.
I won't miss the Shriners. They were holding a circus in Fair Park once and had there vehicles all over season ticket parking. Remember when they ratted on folks drinking in the parking lot after a game and the mounties showed up?
If you're hanging out in the Cotton Bowl parking lot after a Burn game, I would imagine that the Shriners would be the least of your concern.
In Fair Park is fine. Wouldn't be caught dead outside. Well maybe that's exactly how one would be caught.
The empty crappy seats. Plus the distance from the fans to the players on the field (atmosphere perspective).
It always seemed to me like the seats at the Cotton Bowl were pretty close to the action. One time a guy sitting near me threw a cup of beer at one of the linesman who had blown one too many calls, and it bounced off the turf right into his rear.
Just a little beer story...I don't know if anyone was at the Doubleheader back in 1996 where Hugo Sanchez scored the bicycle kick goal on San Jose. Well the first game was Mexico VS Bolivia for the U.S. Cup so there was an abbundance of Mexicans there. Needless to say they were happy about the Sanchez goal and all of them were throwing beer and if got all over me, but it was fun.
Legs not being almost snapped in half by the foldable type chairs that if you step too back on the seat, it shuts in on you and leaves nasty bruises. Uhh...that's what I heard anyway...I will miss the nachos though.
Are you kidding. I had the Nachos vs Shitcago and they were Shitcago quality, man stale as can be. Then again they did run out of Pepsi at half time so maybe it was just a bad staff.
