My 2 older brothers & I stood behind the seats near the locker room & I felt great excitement when some guy named Oscar Robertson ran by us. It was years later before I realized what a moment that was for an 8 yr old (or however old I was) <br /><br />I've only been to the Gardens a few times since then to see the Lippizaner horses & a couple of concerts. Thanks for the blast from the past.<br /><br />Love the mood you created on this post. But man, the crowd was thin! :)<br /><br />SophSophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-27249139459464206472011-01-17T12:34:31.208-05:002011-01-17T12:34:31.208-05:00Quim, I couldn't believe that not many people ...Quim, I couldn't believe that not many people came. Apparently it was much more crowded the night before. The one at USBA had a sparse crowd as well as far as I can tell from the photos from there. They do pack the house for roller derby and as much fun as that is to watch (especially when drinking), I still have no idea how the rules to those matches go. The sound on the sides is much better at the Gardens than in the "endzones." And I'm not sure how long they've had that Canadian flag, but yeah during the minor league hockey days a lot of Canadian teams came through there.<br /><br />5chw4r7z, I was curious to see how they were gonna do it too. I always remembered trucks coming to the Gardens, but apparently when Clear Channel sold off a bunch of the Monster Trucks they owned, a lot of these drivers split into independent circuits and that's why we get three separate tours a year. I don't think they had monster trucks at the Gardens until recently. <br /><br />THanks for the compliments, I have so much stuff backlogged that I should have a new update each week.Ronny Salernohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028420637930256541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-3234113027214460522011-01-17T11:40:07.650-05:002011-01-17T11:40:07.650-05:00I was wondering how they were going to fit monster...I was wondering how they were going to fit monster trucks in the gardens, I guess the answer is snugly.<br />I'm glad you have time to blog again, I love your pictures and snarky writing style.5chw4r7zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635910297238841220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812116909571848352.post-19614105241783897762011-01-17T09:02:39.503-05:002011-01-17T09:02:39.503-05:00LOL, there's nobody there!
I like the Gardens....LOL, there's nobody there!<br />I like the Gardens. I remember when I thought the place was huge.<br />Last time I was there was a Roller Derby last year. It was packed. The sound at the ends was completely worthless, tho. Like a Peanuts parent. Seemed better on the sides but there were no seats.<br />I guess the Canadian flag is a remnant of hockey days?Quimbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414025266566849822noreply@blogger.com
