Thank goodness it’s turf. I think that would be really hard on grass

Artists impression of how it looks including the warm up pool

That's impressive, but this was amazing:

The Colosseum was filled with water to stage a full naval battle

Details are clearly visible.

Who ever heard of such a thing as a swimming pool in an NFL stadium?.......................Apparently not this writer.............

>>Been done before…

The Romans had sea battle re-enactments inside their flooded Colosseum.

They don't even do research anymore.

They don't even do research anymore.

Oh, old fashioned, eh? Research isn't necessary in a world with settled science.

“Oh, old fashioned, eh? “

I get your point...however, Absolutely I’m old fashioned and cherish the fact that I lived the 1st 40 years of my life before the digital age......so much better.

Which stadium had the dolphin?

[dfwgator]

The Orange Bowl, the first few years of the Miami Dolphins.

I’m thinking it’s not going to work.

Mark Spitz couldn’t parlay his medals into a career.

Summer Sanders did better, but I’m doubting that 70k would show up for Olympic swim trials.

Any opportunity to throw in a Stooges reference, I take, so you know how that is said about being old fashioned.

As much as I make my living in the tech world and I’m writing this on my phone, I share your feelings about the pre-digital age. I think a lot of the days when we’d put an album or cassette on the stereo in the living room, grab a cup of coffee, and spend a few hours in the newspaper and a magazine or two.
