We found our way to the Memorial Auditorium. Sitting and staring across the floor to the seats on the other side brought back a lot of warm memories. I could see where I always sat during the games. I could feel the heat and see and smell the smoke that use to fill the air. Yes, people smoked back then in Memorial Coliseum. I could feel the bodies pressing against me trying to jam in as many people as we could on the bench seats.
