You made me smile Billy!  While I don’t recall details like you do, my 
childhood was filled with futuristic notions like this that didn’t seem like 
100% fantasy.  After all, we walked on the moon in 1969, almost 50 years ago. 

 

Thanks, from a wanna-be Green Ray Smacker!

There was a vintage Buck Rogers cartoon that featured futuristic football played

in the Solar System League.   The field was 1000 yards long, divided into

increments of 100 yards.  Amazing for the time (ca. early 1950s)  there

was instant video replay.  The "players" were gigantic robots with a

human in the "cockpit" directing the robot's movements.

Stadiums had seating for 250,000 fans.

 

The team from Mars was called the Green Ray Smackers !!!

 

 

Elon Musk, eat your heart out.

 

 

 

Ahhh, those were the days.....
