Andyroo Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I wonder if we can relocate the PA system at the Passaic Tech stadium to the stadium at Clifton. LOL The Passaic Tech system is excellent. The one at Clifton can be an adventure, shall we say. "'Tis a poor craftsman that blames his tools" (even though he's right).

Fran Haring Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 "'Tis a poor craftsman that blames his tools" Let me guess... you learned that in the one-room schoolhouse you attended in the early 1800s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn't even afford that one room. I learned to write by using charcoal on the back of a shovel - just like my classmate, Abe. We learned how to do that from the kid in the class ahead of us - some kid named Haring. And Laura Ingalls... Oy!!! Vat a hottie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been my great-great-great-great uncle, Jedidiah Haring. He ended up being a player in the early charcoal-grill business in the Midwest. His slogan was, "Want to grill an animal that's dead? Buy your charcoal straight from Jed." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navillus WP Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I can't decide between two "stadia" -- * Toronto's original CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) Stadium, along the shore of Lake Ontario. (hosted Shriners) * Dallas' Cotton Bowl (in Irving, actually) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabalumnidrummer Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) My earlier answers were based upon those venues that still exist. However that is not the only path this thread has followed. If you're talking "best stadium" as far as atmosphere or ambience, Roosevelt Stadium, site of The Dream, The Preview of Champions, The 1966 VFW Nationals and The 1963 World Open, and the 1972 DCA Championship wins, hands down, no comparison. But, as others have said, the field was usually pretty awful. Often, the field was more dirt than grass, dusty from baking in the hot summer sun (though a few years saw it as a 'mud bowl!'), and the grandstand had generally less-than-desirable customer 'creature comforts' (some would call it a dump!). Still, the number one fond memory of stadiums in which I marched and competed. The atmosphere was electric, whether we came in first or last. If you were never there as either spectator or competitor, you have no idea how special those Dream Contest afternoons were!
