Football at Wrigley Field

[SWC75]

Here's a good trivia question: what venue has hosted more NFL games than any other? It's Wrigley field, where the Bears played from the 1920's to the 1960's. What's interesting is that one end zone had to be truncated because that's where one of the dugouts was, (see to the right end zone at the top corner). The fade to the corner of that end zone was a no-go.


Also, we find at 0:43 that Red Barber was a "Swedish Announcer". At least I think that's what he said.

The intro shows us that in 1939, college football was far more popular than pro football. The read is an attempt to recruit college fans to the pro game, "post-graduate football".
