Ah, yes, I lived down near Westshore and Gandy. Could be at the Old Sombrero in 15 minutes. Back in the days when they would put STP on the goal posts in anticipation of the first win. Before the Bucs, the University of Tampa had some great games. Solomon, Matuszak, Orndorff(aka Mr. Wonderful) Great times and good football. University of Tampa had NO problem booking home games in October and November.
And to get back on thread, the first Pro game I ever saw, my Dad took me to a game at old Griffith Stadium in DC. Lions/Redskins... heh, the Lions won.
