Wish FTD finds these recordings and makes a CD out of it...

Elvis, Hulk Hogan, Andre THe Giant, Barry Sanders...that's a lot of legends for one building, eh?

[SoulKissin]

Yeah, I was there when Barry Sanders went over 2000 yards. The Lions are the only NFC team left who never made a Super Bowl appearance. Owned by the Ford Motor Company, the Lion's are the poster child of futility. The NFL should move the Lions to LA, not force the Jaguars.

[SoulKissin]

I'm thinking Col. Parker missed a trick here. He could have made alot more money by making it a closed circuit event like the Ali fights. The older I get the more I dislike the Col.

Charley Manos (Det News):

THAT RIGHT JOLLY OLD ELVIS IS COMING TO TOWN DEC. 31 Elvis Presley, in a telegram to Pontiac Stadium officials and to this column, expressed his gratitude to the Detroit area people for their overwhelming response to having Elvis live on New Year's Eve. "This is a tremendous honor" he  said. "I'm looking forward to being with you on New Year's Eve" About 90,000 are expected to pack the stadium on Dec. 31

Charley Manos (Det News) pt. 2:

Jerry Baron, stadium director of special events, smiled when he told me the news earlier. We both thought having "Fat Cat" Elvis on New Year's Eve was just a wild idea. But it worked. The possibility was first mentioned here.

[SoulKissin]

Charley Manos (Det News) pt. 3:

Readers were asked to send "We Want Presley" cards to Baron. Radio stations joined in to draw about 25,000 cards. Baron quickly told Elvis' manager, ol' Col. Tom Parker about the response. And contract talks began. Mail orders should be sent to Elvis, 1200 Featherstone, Pontiac, Mich. 48057. (Good luck.)

My Mom and Dad went to this concert. I remember wishing I'd been there when they told me Elvis split his pants. =)

[007REF]

Was there in the front row and will never forget it. Took my Mum for a Christmas present. Ran into the Memphis Mafia who were staying at our hotel. They invited us back to a party but we were exhausted; can't believe we gave it a miss! Rick (Australia)

@SoulKissin I remember that game, they lost a great defensive tackle that day.

Elvis was a hugh football fan, it's too bad they didn't have entertainment at half time like they do know.

Elvis would have jumped and would have Rocked that performance.
