Reminds me that I went to Chicago on business I think it was 1989 for 2 weeks. Weekends were the only time we had a break from class and the Cubs were on a road trip - wanted to see a game at Wrigley Field. White Sox were in town so we went to Comisky Park. I believe they tore it down in 1990 to build a new stadium.
I remember the stadium was in a horrible neighborhood with the projects and all kinds of subsidized housing around. Cop cars looked EXACTLY like what was portrayed on Hill Street Blues - beat to hell, missing hub caps, etc....Scary wasn\'t a good enough description but once in the stadium is was really cool.
Young and naive from Oklahoma, I thought those guys wearing matching headbands must be a team going to a softball practice or something!
