Blast From the Past II

I'm back again with more pics from the early 1970's, when I first became a Falcons fan. I found these snapshots in one of my Mom's picture albums, from a trip we took in 1971 to visit relatives who lived in Washington, Ga. Of course I started in on my Dad and Uncle to see if they could get Falcons tickets, because they were scheduled to play the St. Louis Cardinals while we were down there. My Uncle came through, and there we were.
Unfortunately, it wasn't such a good day for the Falcons- they lost 26-9 to a decent Cards team. The more things change, eh? Anyway, as you can see our seats weren't so great, so you'll just have to take my word that the likes of coach Norm Van Brocklin, Tommy Nobis and Harmon Wages are on the field or sidelines. Also, I think that's a nice shot of the now-demolished Fulton County Stadium.

Thanks for this.
Makes me wish I had been alive back then to see Fulton County Stadium.

At game 7 of the ‘92 NLCS. When Sid Bream outran Barry Bond’s weak ass throw home.
