INSIDE THE NFL But Where's The Swimming Pool? by Peter King Posted: Wed August 12, 1998
This season the Buccaneers and the Ravens move into new stadiums, giving the NFL a total of six facilities that have debuted in the last seven years. Docked behind the north end zone at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa is a 103-foot long, 78-foot tall replica of a pirate ship. After each Bucs touchdown, eight cannons will be fired, shooting confetti and miniature footballs into the stands. The stadium in Baltimore, which sits next to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, boasts the two largest permanent video screens in the world—100 feet high, 24 feet wide. Following 1 p.m. games, fans can stick around and watch the late-afternoon NFL games. For instance, if there are five late games, the one with the most appeal to Ravens fans will be carried on one screen, and the other four games will be shown simultaneously on the other, which will be divided into quadrants for this purpose.
