FOOTBALL: Polo Grounds in NYC

I'll admit that I enjoy watching football, but only my team; otherwise I could care less. And I'm a fair weather fan in that I have no qualms about leaving the room if they're losing. But my mind changed about the game once I watched Joe Montana play. There was just something very zen about watching him march the team down the field in a matter of minutes.

The location of this photo is unknown. In fact, other than it being a vintage snapshot, I have no idea where, when, or who are involved. I just found it fascinating to see an old game before big money took over. The sidelines are nearly empty. Shoot, the stands are nearly empty. There are no cameras dancing above the field on wires. There are no women dressed up like idiots prancing and jumping for a camera. There are no corporate loos emblazoned across your eyeballs. It's just a game.

UPDATE: Thanks to WJY from The New Found Photography for the information.

It's the Polo Grounds in New York City. You can tell from the apartment buildings in the background. The stadium was the home of both the baseball and football New York Giants, as well as Fordham and Army. The year before it was torn down it was the home of the New York Titans, latter renamed the New York Jets.
