RiseAndGrind Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 File this under things I did not know. From Wikipedia: Three of the four highest attended NCAA men's soccer regular-season matches of all time were between St. Louis University and SIU Edwardsville at Busch Stadium in St. Louis (22,512 in 1980, 20,122 in 1973, and 15,000 in 1972).[17] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was still in high school, but I could also walk from my high school to the Arena, so I rarely missed a game. God, those days were fun.

almaman Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Was that the game where there was some coupon good for a Bill's soccer, basketball or hockey game and that was the last game that qualified? Sat right behind the net. Kills me they let the ice thing go. Think of how friggin' good we'd be these days if we could get the kid's to stay home with all the local talent in HS. BTW WTF is BUCK?

I don't know if that was the last eligible hockey game, but the date fits the bill. Those coupons, BTW, were absolutely brilliant. For five bucks apiece (when top-priced tix were $15, I think), you could turn them in day of the game and get the best remaining available seat. (You had to buy them in books, 10 or 20 I think). They'd be utterly perfect for today, which is why we don't have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
