That is some rich Minnesota Vikings
History right there. The younger generations barely know of Metropolitan stadium. I heard stories of my grandpa and my dad having season tickets in the 60s and 70s before the Metrodome was built. Very cold games!!!
I loved the old metrodome. You could still sneak in for free during half time at the smoking doors in the rear. yeah baby!
A lot of Vikings shows mention it (PurpleDaily, Kfan) that’s how I learned more about that stadium. I still think we should’ve gone with an outdoor stadium but the bank is incredible
Looks like the Met had a lot of history:
The Minneapolis Millers minor league baseball team was the original tenant from 1956 to 1960, but Metropolitan Stadium was best known as the home of the American League's Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL); both played at the "Met" for 21 seasons, from 1961 through 1981. The Minnesota Kicks of the North American Soccer League (NASL) also played there from 1976 to 1981.
I love the comment from Manning when they were talking about both teams being on the same sideline and how the Patriots wouldn't even had to have had filmed them! LOL
Epic
Ya I laughed extremely hard at the also lol 🤣
I don't get it. Why would they not have been filmed?
@@243wayne1 It would have been easier for the pats to spy on them if they were on the same sideline. They could hear and see them so they wouldn’t need to film them. A dig at the pats reputation for bending the rules (cheating)
@@billyv321 Ahhhh yes! Thank you! I forgot about the cheating BS! Hahaha! Now I can laugh with the rest of you!
"If the kid didn't want the ball, why did he have his hands in the air?" 😅
I was there the day they filmed this!! It was awesome seeing both of them there.
Manning”what’s wrong with you? You act like you’ve never seen a tommy Kramer fan before” 😂
Can you imagine walking trough the mall and saying is that Payton manning in a Vikings jersey
Ahmad only had one ligament in his knee. Bud Grant said, "That's all he needs." Rashad was one of the best.
I grew up watching Ahmad Rashaad on NBA Inside Stuff in the 90’s. What a time that was for basketball.
Fun fact...Peyton Manning lived in Minnesota in the mid 80's when his dad archie played for the Vikings.
But he doesn't care if the Mall of America bans him. 😄
No. He didn't.
Swayne yeah he did
I just googled it and yes he did in 1984
@@quest4adventure495 Never happened.
Peyton looks good in purple. That would have been awesome if he would have played for vikings
Should played for the Vikings not the Broncos
I live close to here and Im glad they kept some of the history, there is one of the chairs in there as well
Wow...I watched that game as a kid on NBC! I had two favorite WR'S growing up. Ahmad Rashad (which was my nickname given at school when we played during recess), and Fred Billetnikoff.
The hook and lateral that set up that play was also amazing
That's one of those plays that instantly burrowed itself deep into my long-term memory.
And it's what flashed through my mind in the 2017 season Divisional playoffs when Case Keenum connected with Stephon Diggs for the Minneapolis Miracle walkoff TD. We don't have a superb bowl victory YET, but we have a plethora of great teams, great seasons, great players and great plays.
NFL Football is a phenomenal spectator sport, the favorite of tens of millions of Americans.
This was the best Minnesota football content ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about today’s game
@@benjohnson7596 2nd best now
My dad took me to the old Met for games. Stayed at the Thunderbird hotel and walked across the parking lot. That place had a vibe all its own.
Total sidebar. My grandparents spent nearly every Friday in the 80s dancing at the Thunderbird. One night, there was a country act there. My grandparents were not big country fans, but they liked this guy. He even sat with them and asked them about being blind and how they learned to dance (They were blind from young ages). He told them his first album was coming out soon, and he was really excited.
His name was Garth Brooks.
@@MichaelMiller-tm2os Garth played the T-Bird?! Man, I thought that place was kind of run down in the 70’s but it was kind of a cool run down if you know what I mean. Great story!
70’s & 80’s receivers don’t get enough respect
I remember this! That game was a classic. That drive was a classic and much of it was forgotten.
I love it all. But that look of determination on Peyton's face while riding the escalator is a highlight.
I met Ahmad and got his autograph at a mall back in the 80s when I lived in MN. It was either Maplewood or Roseville? Nice guy.
When they are on the escalator going down looking all cool.. watched it 5 times, couldn't stop laughing.
I remember that day on 12/14/1980, NBC's Bryant Gumbel notified the viewers on live air, "The Minnesota Vikings win the NFC Central Division title." The final score was 28-23, when Tommy Kramer found Ahmad Rashad from 46-yards out. Ahmad Rashad had two TD's in that game. At halftime from the second game of a televised double header, NBC NFL 🏈 Live 80, Bryant Gumbel, played the clip for the viewers as Charlie Jones and Len Dawson were elated on the miraculous finish.
Had a fun time doing this. Look out for those mall goers 😉.
I'm just going to say it...
Rashad says everything we are thinking, everytime we jump on any water log ride!
"The Patriots being on the same sideline with us they wouldn't even need to film us." 🤣🤣🤣 Nice little man, Peyton.
It feels like it's been forever since we seen Rashad in something. Growing up he was everywhere to a point I assumed he was an NBA player before I looked him up and realized he was a Viking.
Fun fact Ahmad Rashad played for the 76''ers against the Timberwolves in the first pre season game ever at Target Center . Even hit a 3 pointer in the 4th qtr and I was there to see it .A legend for the Vikings that I saw play many times at the old Met but had a NBA show . I can't remember the name of the show
@@lesgobrandon9444 NBA Insude Stuff was the one that he had for a long time
@@chadhunt6374 thank you ! I had forgotten. I knew he had a NBA show just couldn't remember the name. Not really a roundball fan . All my kids wrestled . Lol
@@chadhunt6374oh man Inside Stuff was awesome growing up
I normally don't like shopping malls except for MOA. Now I found another reason to enjoy the cool vibe that's usually there
If you don't mind dodging bullets.
loved rashad on NBC sports back in the 90s, his voice is childhood
Aww. I would’ve liked to have seen how Peyton Manning liked the floor ride. Haha.
What a FANTASTIC video!! Two of the most charismatic players in NFL history. It's why both have been soooo successful talking into cameras after their great playing careers. Rashad one of my all-time favorite Vikings and Manning is probably my absolute favorite non-Viking player ever.
The dig at the Patriots had me laughing way too hard. I was not expecting such a great line! I grew up in the 80s in Minnesota and although never made it to the Met for football I did get to see a few North Star games next door at the met center. After the MOA was built it was always super cool to be able to stand at home plate and look over camp snoopy (that's how I will always remember it at least) and imagine the field.
I watched this game as a 10 year old boy viking fan, A Rashad was my hero...i jumped and screamed too. I even have the sports page from 1980 of this catch....its a great memory.
I work at pro image at the Mall. how have I not heard of this 😂😂😂😂
Ahmad is still one of my ATF Vikings.
i like how peyton throws shade at new england when talking about them not needing to record them cause they would be in the same sideline 😂
So happy I watched that game. Was only 4 or 5. My first sports miracle play I saw live.
That’s so awesome!!!!
To get Ahmad Rashad, the MN Vikings traded away "Benchwarmer" Bob Lutsema to the Seattle Seahawks. One of the best trades in MN Vikings history!
They had one really bad one... but I've blocked it from my memory
Them coming down the escalator is gonna be me and my Brother in bears jerseys in 20yrs 😆
Omg, I love the log chute ride so much!!! The lines are always packed though so sometimes you would have to wait like 30 mins to ride.
Lol, 30 mins is nothing
@@thefarmingnurse -It's everything.
This is absolutely amazing. Peyton looks good in purple! *Viking sigh*
This game reminds me of the kind of games the Vikes are winning this year and it was ironically against Cleveland’s cardiac kids! lol
Thanks Peyton and Ahmad, this is excellent and is too funny! I remember keeping my fingers crossed for the final 10-15 minutes of this game. Skol!
Mall of America looks fun!
It used to be, now it's not. I grew up next to the Mall when it opened and it was a fun and safe place to go, now people are getting shot there all the time
As a 9 year old boy ,the hail Mary catch by Rashad cemented my love for football and the vikes forever
Ahmad so deserved this ....thanks Payton.....good job buddy
greatness is in the joy of life!
The guy in the store looking at them 🤣
"What you've never seen a Kramer fan before"?
One of the most precious memories of my life was watching this game with my dad when I was 8. I went nuts when 28 caught that ball.
Didnt know Ahmad Rashad was an NFL player before. Growing up, thought he's only a full time commentator in NBA games, NBA JAM and Inside stuff or any NBA related shows and sitcoms. Wow.
Oregon Duck Legend
I didn't know that either but yes he was wr for Vikings
Before Minnesota and a name change
He was Bobby Moore and played on the Bills with OJ.
I suppose the one thing Ahmad Rashad wouldn’t want to reenact is his wedding to Phylicia Ayers Allen. The wedding party included Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson.
For Manning to call himself a Tommy Kramer fan...it warms this middle-aged Minnesota heart.
Imagine if Ahmad dropped the pass. He probably had to do the ride again lol.
I'm a 31 year Minnesota native viking fan and I never knew that nickelodeon univers had those plaques to commemorate the field that once was. So cool.
You mean "Camp Snoopy"
😁😁
My uncle's grew up in rural Minnesota... I remember watching games with them and feeling bad the Vikings were always behind... they said "wait til after half time Tommy is just sobering up for the 4th quarter"
❤interesting video to watch. very exciting. thanks for the composition of all of these great moments. ❤
Best episode ever; bias. Viking fan who still remembers this play.
just imagine if Peyton would’ve played for the Vikes
That was cool that you recreated that play and gave the hometown team some love. When I visited Mall of America, I was envisioning Staubach’s Hail Mary to Pearson.
Best one ever! Billy "White shoes" Johnson has now moved to second place doing the Funky Chicken.
Holy Minnesota nostalgia, Batman!!
I watched every second of that game❤️
2 class guys! 2 Exceptional players
Love this
I love it!
This man so GOATED!
Love it!
Payton is a National Treasure! Best thing I’ve ever seen at the Mall of America! Hilarious!
Awesomeness!!!💖😃
I love a middle aged man and a grampa in football jerseys coming down an escalator on a mission in the mall.
Watched that game, unbelievable. Peyton is hilarious! I’d love to have a couple beers with that guy.
That's awesome
Phenomenal.
Wish they'd bring his NBA show. Used to wake up early growing up just to watch it.
inside stuff! classic with him and willow bay
Part of my childhood was watching it on weekends! "My main man Michael"
Man I love Peyton manning lol
I have ridden that flume ride. It is a good one.
Great video.
Fun that you and Rashad called it The Flume. That was the log ride was called at Valleyfair.
The old Met was the venue for another legendary pass play. The game winning Hail Mary pass from Staubach to Pearson in the 1975 playoffs. Or to disgruntled Vikings fans, the Push Off play.
This was amazing!! 😂
A lot of younger people do not know that Ahmad Rashad play for the Vikings
Now THAT is the good life.
Was at that game. Think I was 12 or 13. We stayed till the end and glad we did.
Why does Ahmad look so much younger than Peyton when they are coming down the escalator?? 🤣🤣
cuz black don't crack
Havin' a BLAST!!! 😁
And love 💕 the AMUSEMENT 🎢 PARK IN THE BEAUTIFUL MALL OF AMERICA 🇺🇸 IN MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA 🇺🇸
This has to be one of the best moments of stars at the MoA. Well, I mean after the Trailer Park Boys were there.
This is excellent 😂
That dudes face when he saw Peyton Manning behind him is hilarious
Trifecta of Browns Sorrow: The Drive, The Fumble, The Miracle
Only positive for my vikings
Wow i was a huge Viking fan as a kid and been to the mall of America didn't know it was on the ground of the old met
I’ve been to moa plenty of times and never notice that 50 yard mark
Me either.
Used to work at the MOA!
GOOD GUYS AHMAD AND PEYTON ESPECIALLY AHMAD YOU ALWAYS COVER TYE NBA STORIES EVER SINCE I WAS A KID NICE GUY FROM PORTLAND OREGON 🇺🇸 NOT NYC
5:16 lmfao manning a fool
Ahmad Rashad, the Greatest Host of the Critically Acclaimed TV Show, "The Mole", of All Time
Payton looks good in purple!
❤
Don't worry, we have the fast pass. That means I get to throw fast passes." 🤣
"Historical reenactment "
Some forget he played football I loved inside stuff
hold up... is this the same place where the main character of mighty ducks and that one bash brother (or whatever they were called) went to after they got kicked of the team in the 3rd movie? kinda looks the same...
Yes
Was the other qb Brian Sipe for Cleveland? I used to really know all the players back in those days. I don’t hardly know anybody anymore. But look at how much fun it was then? All those people there in the weather. Nobody on phones. Players all padded up because they actually hit each other then. Different game. Different time. Both better.
Go vikings
what?? I nvr knew that he Played NFL Football??!?? Im today’s Years old then 😮
