FYI if you watch the bonus features of the Replacements on DVD it explains that the NFL did not want to support a comedy about the 1987 strike. Almost no team in the NFL would allow the Filmmakers to use their stadium with the excecption of Baltimore. To paraphase what the Ravens owner said "Nobody in the league likes me anyway, so you can use my stadium to make your movie". It was about the 1987 Players strike and the Skins, but the names were changed to protect the not so innocent.
