So much for precise memories. I thought it collapsed while I was in the state, 40 miles south, but instead it did in ‘81, ‘82 and ‘83. I’d left, but was still following MN news and misdated those memories.
My memories are clear but the dates are always a little foggy too, I find myself googling a lot to remember the dates of my memories.
It was the early ‘80s. I know because as a lifelong Los Angeles Rams fan I always dreaded going to the outdoor stadium in Minneapolis in January for the playoffs. When the Rams finally got a home game for the playoffs... mudslides (and a 5’9” QB in Pat Haden). We Rams fans are grateful that the Vikes moved indoors, our last playoff went much, much better. May we meet there again.
