    three feet.

    I didn't realize the official address of the Super Dome is 1500 Sugar Bowl Drive. Man, stadium address trivia this could be fun. Anyone want to guess what stadium sits at 3333 Al Davis Way? (I'm curious why that number now, should have gone with 1960 - the year the team was founded)

    I didn’t necessarily mean the stadium is below sea level, but I have heard at various times that a good portion of the city is.

    The Oakland Coliseum field was under sea level when the tide came in (or so the story goes) - never seemed to impact the A's.

    Since it’s Dave Winfield’s birthday, name the four teams in four professional sports leagues that drafted him?

    It was also under sea level when the toilets flushed, which did cause some problems.

    Padres and I think Vikings. Don’t know NBA and I assume fourth league is ABA. Not likely NHL and I don’t remember if there was another football league at the time. WFL maybe?

    Padres and Vikings are correct. And yes on those two leagues.

    I'll guess the Hawks and the Utah Stars.

    Two quarterbacks who won Super Bowls finished the regular season in the year they won the Super Bowl with nine TDs and 17 interceptions, the worst such ratios in history among winning SB quarterbacks. Who are they?

    Just a guess. Dilfer and Hostetler.
