This was delicious. Very well done. I have always been intrigued with this stadium and being from TN I have never been. I hope the City of Jackson restore it versus tearing it down to rubble.
Lots of great memories of going to games at the Vet. My dad was a big Bulldog back in the 70's/80's and we went to every game. And it was just as described: A huge party that attracted so many people from all over. The double-headers were incredible!
Solid documentary but it’s telling that it doesn’t mention that since 1978 Jackson State has led the FCS in attendance 16 times, which is twice as much as any other FCS school so JSU is doing its part despite being underfunded even when hitting the academic and athletic benchmarks for increased funding.
This was pretty interesting but I know it didn't improved race relations at all in Mississippi as implied in the video. To me racial relations changed very little since the 60s. For example, despite UM football team being predominately black for over two decades, there's still never been a black head coach there. What's even more disappointing was seeing black players play for Ole Miss while their fans were waving confederate flags ... just dark and scary .... they were so foolish and lost to do that. They should've went to a HBCU.
Solid history of this sports icon…. I had no idea.
Thank you for sharing.
Luv that HBCU’s are now carrying the legacy of this venue into its future!!!
Man what Jackson was and what this stadium was at one time wish we can get our capitol back there one day 😢

2021 JSU packed the Vet.
JSU, a sleeping giant has been awaken.
Southern Miss was loaded

So true so true so true. But our people will fall for anything and go and play for anything too.
Where are you from?
Nutsss how college football works MSU beat Alabama that year but lost to southern miss 42-14 lol
Why did Ole Miss start playing there? It’s very far from Oxford!
3:17 ..to 3:59...did you even watch the show?
Ole Miss didn't have a stadium. Ole Miss, Mississippi State & USM all played in Jackson.
