When you combine these fact of the two eras, it's obvious that the players in 1965 were flying in more comfort than are the players of today.

Thanks for the info ...... I did not know that.

And that's crazy, about the room being lessened since 1965 ...... if anything, you would think that they would make the seats more roomier because Americans in general have gotten larger.


That said, I'm not sure that there is much that Jim Irsay could do about that, short of designing and building his own custom-made airplanes made specifically for his team to travel on.
