Sure, artistic license and all that. But c'mon, as a depiction of OJ's most famous run, the artist took a lot of liberties. One of them, as the artist admitted to me, makes some sense artistically. Waldorf should do well on this.

where to fit 94k fans? where is the track? lights? this isn't Notre Dame stadium circa 1967 that had no permanent lights until 1997 how often does the wind blow from the south? just asking no hash marks end zone had gold diamonds, not solid gold song girls debuted in '67 just saying
The field is 50 yards, 6 players per side. But I get the painting is impressionist. But all the players bunched near the endzone is noticeable. Makes it look like the other great run OJ had that day: he ran through and over about 7 ucla defenders for a 13 yard TD.
1 california flag is above american flags. I mean, it is California but it's also 1967
2 Scoreboard says 2nd down 64 yards to go. They don't say that.
3. Scoreboard says 21-20 with OJ holding the ball. That would not have happened till the extra point.
4. The time is 10:30. Which means the game had to have started at about 7 am since the sky is still blue.
5. USC appears to only have 6 defensive players or 6 subs if teams played both ways.
6 Considering it was a 64 yard run, those are some awfully fast guys on both teams to all be down there as he crosses the goal line. Apparently the QB, the OL and everyone said "f my assignment, let's go chase him down the field" and all arrived in the camera shot about the same time.
7 Traveler is never on the field while they play just after the TD is scored. And frankly not sure when it changed but these days he's packed up and gone by the 4th quarter. He does his 1812 overture run and then goes home.
wrong endzone
cheerleaders/students on wrong side of field
bruins wore grey pants
no logo on side of SC helmet
no stripes on ucla jerseys
looks more like 7 on 7
1) OJ is holding a ball instead of a sharp blade
2) OJ is wearing Adidas
3) OJ is either twice as large as everyone or he snuck into a pop-warner game
4) God is not a Trojan
5) The fat dude with the Cossack mustache is not prowling the sidelines handing out 100 dollar bills to the players.
5A) USC Psycho is holding a save the whales edition vanity license plate
