Busch was one of those identi-kit round bowls with Astroturf that blighted baseball in the 1970s and 1980s, along with Three Rivers, Riverfront, and Veterans and, with a dome, the Astrodome itself. <br /><br />In all seriousness, MCS was the Stadium I grew up going to as a kid. It was never -- and could never be -- one of those multimedia experiences the way stadiums these days are. By 1991, the Stadium was showing its wear. It was built in the early 1950s for the Braves, so it was 40 years old by time you saw it. It was of a different era. <br /><br />And yes, you brought up 1982 which brought back bad memories for me. I attended Game 5 of that World Series. I still hate Willie McGee.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.com
