Off the top of your head, which is the only stadium/venue to have both a 99-yard run and also a 99-yard pass play both occur there?
No fair looking this up! But guesses are allowed.
It's actually not that difficult of a question, given the criteria.

The Metrodome also hosted a 109-yard return of a missed field goal, by Antonio Cromartie.

Not the same stadium, but of the 13 99-yard passing touchdown inj NFL history, only three pairs have been in the same city: Washington (Filchcok to Farkas, 1939, Griffith Stadium, and Plunkett to Branch, 1983, RFK Stadium), Chicago (Jurgensen to Allen, 1968, Wrigley Field, and Favre to Brooks, 1995, Soldier Field) and Cleveland (Izo to Mitchell, 1963, Municipal Stadium, and Garcia to Davis, 2004, Cleveland Browns Stadium).

Re: Trivia: 99-yard TD venues
I still want to collect the GB-CHIC game with Brooks scoring on a 99 yrd pass play. There was a guy in the stands who jumped out and caught an extra point at least 20 ft or more from the ground. I hope he wasnt too drunk but the ABC broadcast never confirmed if he was okay or not from the fall. They just kept showing the replay ...

Re: Trivia: 99-yard TD venues
I remember that ABC actually interviewed this guy who jumped out of the stands and caught the kick in mid-air on his way down. Amazingly, he was fine. Several years ago, I remember seeing the footage of this and the ensuing interview. It's gotta be somewhere.Brian wolf wrote:I still want to collect the GB-CHIC game with Brooks scoring on a 99 yrd pass play.
