What do think about a massive football game played on a battlefield ?
There was a cool commerical during the Philly / Minnesota game. It looked like football players running on an oversize football field. It got me thinking about a "football war game".
A lot of sports have a mini-version like 3 on 3 basketball. Well, how about going in other direction. Super size it!
What do you think about having a humongous football game on, say an old Civil War battlefield? Make it 500 on 500 players. Blue and gray. Pound some drums. Fill the field with smoke. Sh*t your pants! Have the endzones be a mile away from each other. Nonstop chaos; total mayhem. Running, jumping, handoffs, trick plays, passes, hits, tackles, the usual… only on a titanic scale.
Maybe there would be 50 footballs with separate battles going on.
When a tackle is made, the ball carrier and the tackler are considered "dead" and have to leave the battlefield until there’s a score kinda like in paintball.
Naturally, there would have to be all kinds of rules to make it work.
Run 50 cameras to try and get all the action on film.
Make it open to anybody with enough nuggets to suit up.
What do you think? Call it the Civil War Bowl.
wow dude, pretty good idea.
never would happen
but a good idea nonetheless
CHAOS!!
would be very boring and confusing to watch.
like a mix of soccer and baseball

Son, I love most sports, including football and I am a Civil war buff, but I dont think it is a good idea to mix the two since Civil War battlefields are hallowed(sacred) ground. Secondly, with all that chaos and confusion, it might remind you of the employee at Wal-Mart that got trampled to death on Black Friday. I commend you for having a good imagination, but I think we will leave this for the thrill seekers.
