Title: TDMMC March Madness - CULTURE - Terrible Towels vs. The Homerun Sculpture Post by: Phishfan on April 01, 2014, 11:29:50 am The Terrible Towel is a rally towel associated with the Pittsburgh Steelers, an American football team in the National Football League (NFL). Created in 1975 by then Steelers radio broadcaster Myron Cope, The Terrible Towel has spread in popularity; fans take their Towel to famous sites while on vacation. The Towel has been taken to the peak of Mount Everest, and even into space on the International Space Station. It is widely recognized as a symbol of the Steelers and the city of Pittsburgh
Home Run Feature: Center field has a home run feature akin to Citi Field's Home Run Apple but different in design and feel. The piece, designed by Red Grooms, is located behind the left center field wall, and visible during a game. It is between 65 feet (20 m) to 75 feet (23 m) tall, with bright pink, blue, aqua, and orange colors along with many moving parts. The art feature rises from a pool of Grooms-designed water and is dotted with clouds, flamingos, seagulls and palm trees. Marlins jump and laser lights shine for roughly 30 seconds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esWB4wUoPwQ I have a terrible towel at home, and I don't care about the Steelers. Title: Re: TDMMC March Madness - CULTURE - Terrible Towels vs. The Homerun Sculpture Post by: Phishfan on April 01, 2014, 12:13:22 pm ^^^ Do you use it for butt wiping?
Title: Re: TDMMC March Madness - CULTURE - Terrible Towels vs. The Homerun Sculpture Post by: Brian Fein on April 01, 2014, 12:23:30 pm No, its not soft enough for my butt. I use it to blow my nose in.

Even if the alternative wasn't a classic like the terrible towel, I'd vote for it over that eyesore. Title: Re: TDMMC March Madness - CULTURE - Terrible Towels vs. The Homerun Sculpture Post by: Dave Gray on April 01, 2014, 01:11:24 pm I have grown to like the audacity of the Marlin's structure, but it just can't win against something as iconic as the towel. I wish the structure was hidden below ground and only came out when called.

One of the greatest comments about that ridiculous thing in center field at Marlins Park: The original was two guys making out in the nude. The owner said "Needs to be gayer". -EDGECRUSHER Terrible towel in a landslide. |
