The stadium itself, sure. Comparatively, LES is like a really large high school stadium. But check out the view.

I have watched players from opposing teams literally stand in awe of the view as they exited the team bus. Smack aside, it's really a locale you should visit, if you haven't already. Grab an overly-weak beer, drink it BEFORE you enter the stadium, then enjoy a game in a gorgeous venue.

um steve young won 1 title despite having all world talent around him

droski

9/7/18 9:57am

Agreed. I think all record setting 6 TD passes that game were short

Randall Toomey
