Food for thought: Away team playing same stadium 2 weeks in

Post by spanky »

The Ravens played the Giants at MetLife Stadium last Sunday and they play the Jets at MetLife this Sunday. I wonder if this is the first time in NFL regular season history that a team plays in the same stadium as the visitor two weeks in a row.
Never argue with idiots. They will bring you down to their level, then overwhelm you with their experience.

I think the Saints played at a non-home site after Katrina. That would have been the home team, playing at the same non-home stadium consecutive weeks. Not sure I've seen the away team in the same stadium two weeks in a row...

Since it's the only city with multiple NFL loser teams playing there, it's quite likely.

What I wonder is whether this legislation will go anywhere ..

$149B annual estimated bookie spend.
Combine tax/fees on that with federal tax on pot.
That would cover a few new roads and bridges. :like

Wonder who is plying Congress/Senate with $$$ to keep other states from having legalized gambling.

Considering that there are over 1400 casinos now open in the USA.
Beware of fools & trolls here, they lurk everywhere.

IMHO .. Legalize and levy .. these days, it would make 'cents'.

A guy we know has run book for decades .. did well many years within the underground economy.
Although, from week to week in football season he'd drive either a Benz or a broke-down pickup :lol:
The FanDuel DraftKing phenomenon has significantly impacted his livelihood.
He's had to rethink his entire revenue strategy.

Mashantucket economy surge shows no sign of stopping.
Always amazed at the # of MA license plates in their parking lot.
Too bad Commonwealth missed the boat on that. :sad:
NH blew it as well. Lakes Region would've been perfect.

So it goes.

The New Orleans Pelicans (then Hornets) played in Oklahoma City after Katrina, not sure if this counts
