I'd like to use this information in the 1985 map and would like to credit whoever compiled all of this. Years ago on RD I seen Yates working on this, I wonder if he's responsible? Terrific work and I greatly respect the effort.

Off the top of my head, it's from one of the earlier batch of heavily redacted Scarpa files.

Just curious: How many, if any, of these "Big City" Social Clubs actually had NFL owners as regulars that placed large bets on their own teams. They would also meet their BM on Tuesday nights a to either pay or collect their bet.

I would bet more then A handful , if I remember corrcnely the steelers (Rooney) and browns( McBride ) owners both had strong ties to gambling . And may of founded there teams with gambling money or at least got there start in gambling .
