I remember the night before this was to occur the news told us all to set our VCRs. Clearly, nobody had any clue that UA-cam was just a few years away.
I drove from Louisville to watch that as I used to work there in Concessions.. Those flashes are exactly what I saw on the Miami high-rise that came down. I believe that building was taken down
World Series Titles, Pennants, Superbowl teams, Hall of Fame players (for what's worth post-Crosley) only to be replaced by a tacky food court filled with bad and mediocre teams, where the game is secondary to promotions, advertising and of course...tons of junk food and $9 beers. Way to go humanity.
“Bad and mediocre”?! Have you seen the bengals! Made it to the made it to the afc championship back to back years, Super Bowl participants, and they are top of their division! And the reds have had many all stars in the new stadium. Riverfront had a lot of history but the teams now are better than a lot of people think.
When those charges went off, a piece of my childhood collapsed...
Mine too brother..
Same here.
I saw my first baseball game there in 1977.

Or the twin towers and building 7 as well
It's terribly sad that Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium got destroyed.

that usually has more to do with the teams and organizations than the stadiums.
