At the old stadium? I remember actual bleachers back then, that’s where we usually ended up since it was nearly free.

The new stadium is pretty great. I wish I had pics of the old one though, it had a weird charm to it. I remember almost every night at games in the 80’s there were drunken fights in the bleachers.

I saw many a game at the old field. I grew up in North Arlington.

I used to pay $7 dollars to sit in the outfield bleachers. It was real cheap.

It was so cheap everyone had lots of money left to get
really drunk. But lots of fun.

Remember the old stadium with the metal floors and how much noise we made at “Bat Night” with our Buddy Bell Bats?
