I posted one of these photos a few years ago. I took all these pictures.
Kind of like my dad tells me stories about Mountaineer Field House... I sometimes hear stories on here about Old Mountaineer Field. I was lucky enough that my dad started taking me to games - just before the old stadium went away.
I saw 5 games from 1977 to 1979; Richmond and Temple in 1977... Richmond and Syracuse in 1978... and Tulane in 1979.
These photos are from the Richmond game in 1978 -- season opener -- we barely won. Single game ticket was $8, but I got a special student ticket for $3 (I think?). I didn't realize it though... but my seat (I was 12 years old) was in the metal bleachers in the endzone. My Dad's ticket was in the bowl end. I got 1 photo from his seat... the rest of the photos from my seat. The photo of the players mobbing each other was right after a touchdown was scored. I forget who caught it. Maybe Cedric Thomas?
