Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I remember that, I was out playing in a band that night and we all heard about what was going on from the TV in the bar! That was the last time they ever did that!!! What a stupid idea! I was at that old stadium hundreds of times with my Dad and then later with my kids! They do have dollar dog nights sometimes now (at a different stadium, Progressive Field) and all that does in plug up the toilets!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
