Originally aired August 2023. Ray Delahanty (CityNerd) joins host Thomas Emerick to discuss Seattle vs. LA, Bo Jackson vs. Brian Bosworth, and how well certain sports venues fit their cities. We also delve into Seattle's long history of identity as a sort of a nice, passive city tucked away in the upper corner of the country that was always in the shadow of Los Angeles. The Seattle Seahawks and LA Raiders capture this on a Monday night in late 1987, and we unpack some of the related urban planning dynamics with those franchises over the years.This is Remember That Game, the podcast about sporting events that take you on a journey and chart the path of the zeitgeist.I'm your host Thomas Emerick, enjoy the show.Follow Remember That Game for the full archive: Apple Spotify "Remember That Game" in search wherever you get your podcasts More on the LA Raiders visiting the Seattle Seahawks to cap Week 12 in 1987: Raiders 37, Seahawks 14 (Pro Football Reference) The Land of Boz poster (Costacos Brothers via Sports Illustrated) CityNerd's Top NFL stadiums for transit (YouTube) Latest on-location vignette (YouTube) Channel on YouTube and Nebula Bo Jackson highlights (Raiders team website) Bo vs. The Boz (NFL Throwback game supercut) Cruisin' with the Tooz book cover (AbeBooks) For designer of Kingdome, its demise blows him away (The Seattle Times) HOSTRotoViz Contributor Thomas Emerick (@ThomasEmerick)GuestCityNerd creator Ray Delahanty (@Nerd4Cities)SPONSORSBetterHelp - This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
