I certainly didn't make as many shows there as you did John, but the neighborhood wasn't the best even back then. The neighbors didn't complain about the fireworks because they thought it was just regular gun fire.

I personally didn't have any problems either John. However, I have heard some of the stories from others that did. Even when the Indians played there, that area was not the best.

Your comment about mismanagement is right on. To bad since it could have been a real nice facility with some proper leadership.
