They're Tearing it Down Now


They ripped a hole in the side. That was the word on the street and the main reason I wanted to head down and check it out one last time.


The Stadium, seen from the pedestrian bridge. A nice walk back in October of 1984. How could we forget the memories!


I still can't figure out why I smiled ...


I tried to get into the park for one last picture. The security guards, they were secure. But, they didn't chase me away when I crawled UNDER the fence for a couple shots.


I stood up on the freeway bridge to get a shot IN the Stadium. Courtney did her best to make sure I didn't fall onto the freeway below!

I cannot figure out which song has the line, "They're tearing 'er down now but it's just as well ..." If you know the song, hit the comment line, please!

Rick -- That would be the song, "This is the Time," by Billy Joel, from his CD The Bridge. I think it was released around 1986.
