Big Game Programs

I don't remember the last time I bought a program at an athletic event. Why would I? Nowadays they've become completely generic with slick glossy photos that seem the same from one game to the next. Worse than that, they've become totally obsolete since most fans in the stands are just an iPhone click away from mountains of information about the teams and players on the field below.

Decades ago, however, not only were they essential for anyone closely following the game, they are also works of art. Here's a selection of Big Game programs over the past 115 years. If you're lucky enough to be going to the game today, do yourself a favor and pick up a program. Your grandchildren will appreciate it.
