Originally I thought there was no view of the field and it was just dumb, but now that I see the other pics...
That is one wacky yet genius idea.
Btw this is OT.
I think I've sat in that seat.
Go Cubbies! Haven't sat in that seat myself but I have been in a couple seats next to it before. Imagine if you had season tickets for that?
Why do you have to be that guy? Yes, we all know it is off topic. If you need something to be labeled off topic to determine that it is off topic, then I cannot help you. I’ll bet you really don’t care that “OT” is missing in the title thread.
Ironic, since you're only here to downvote.
seriously, if it's not pumpkin beer, he hates it
I didn't know that simply informing the OP to change their title to make it even more informative without going crazy or downvoting them because of it is frowned upon nowadays.
Obviously I really don't care and it's not a big deal, just trying to help others out. No snarkiness was intended.
Also, of course I don't need something to be labeled off-topic to know it is off topic, I just proved that to you by pointing out an OT thread was OT without it being labeled!
Just the hint of OCD in me talking and insisting on organization, that's all.
Moving on now...
lol from the first picture, I assumed those outside seats’ view was blocked by the stadium wall and thought “typical russians”
...so I’m not inclined to believe it is real until the dash cam videos start showing up on YouTube.
But yeah have it in Russia and Qatar.
No wonder their super advanced ICBM failed.
I'm told the new, even more superer advanceded "Twin Engine ICBM" (shown in flight in last picture) has some real potential.
Where’s the pic of the view from those seats?
In Mother Russia, question ask teacher.
The ratio of questions I receive to questions I ask are probably around 500:1.......
Logged in just to post a chuckle. I'm a high school math teacher myself, so I hold true to that ratio.
In Soviet Russia, party always finds you.
Every country has a city they make fun of. For example, in America, you make fun of Cleveland. In Russia, we make fun of Cleveland.
Russian ingenuity FTW
For how many blind-drunk Russkies fall over the side of these bleachers?
With wings tack-welded onto the sides.
Feel like we already had a thread about this...
But, really, this is genuinely a great idea. The seats are no worse than nosebleed seats anywhere else. And considering Qatar is building new stadiums with literal slave labor, killing people in the desert heat to build slapdash stadiums that will be used for exactly one event, Russia's solution is both creative and a welcomed variation from the norm of wasteful, one-off construction projects typically done for world events like this.
but Russian engineering never gets old (rusty, perhaps)
Fuck Russia and fuck Qatar. FIFA is corrupt and disgusting. Too late to take it away from Russia but let's steal Qatar's WC and host games in US and Canada. Final at the Big House.
I watched Red Sparrow last night. I am trying to think of a clever way to tie in this post with JLaw's Soviet-style bewbs.
Nope, can't say as I have thought of one.
Just, Russians, man.
You see Atomic Blond? I love that movie. Guess its more Germans though, although there is some KGB presence. I still gotta check out Red Sparrow.
It has nothing to do with Russia at all but I saw Sicario last night and it was awesome. Can't wait for the sequel.
Interesting idea, though I'm honestly more impressed this didn't end up getting locked for wading into political waters.
During the space race, the Americans spent over a million dollars to come up with a pen that could write in zero gravity.
The Russians . . . just used a pencil.
Which is not true.
it's a good story though
A pencil can break and then you've got graphite floating around.
Here's a better (true) story of really smart people doing a really stupid thing:
