Notes-Tonight was 1 dollar beer night, and it more than was worth the price of admisson, and oh!! yes there was a ballgame going on at the same time. Well most of us noticed the game, I don't know but I would guess there were maybe 1700 or so students from the local college's who were just there for beer night
Thank You
