ReplyDeleteWent to many many games with my dad in the late 70's and through the 80's.We continued to go to games when the Diplomats ceased and Team USA of the NASCAR played at RFK. I remember going to the soccer bowl at RFK one year. My dad made scrapbooks for each year filled with our ticket stubs, articles from the Washington Post and pictures we took. These are prized possessions of mine and seeing your blog brought many great memories back. I also have the "Kick" programs from each of the home games and the poster that was given away when the Beach Boys played a concert after the game. I think that was Team USA though. Anyhow, love the blog, really nice job, R Morton
