A dump only begins to describe it, LOL. It was a mid-tier division 1 college stadium at best, plopped down in an old parking lot that was like the surface of the moon.

I went to a baseball game at Yankee Stadium in the late 80's.. It had history. That was the only thing going for it.

You didn't miss anything. Sightlines were horrid. It was dirty and nasty.

I saw a number of events in the Kingdome before it was torn down. But the one I wish i could have gone to (arrived just as they were tearing IT down) was Memorial Stadium here in Baltimore. Home of the Orioles, Colts, and for a couple years, the early Ravens.
