How many of us attended the last game at Archbold? I’ll start it as #1

Didn’t know that Al Davis bought naming rights to the home locker room. I’ve never heard of him being connected with SU Football later in his life.

My fraternity brother came back bloodied with a large piece of the goal post after that final game. Wish I had pictures.

I have told the story before, but I almost got arrested the night before the final game. We told a pledge in my car to steal the “Welcome to Archbold Stadium-1914” sign. He got it too. But police came and pinned my car in as I was driving away and took the sign away. They read us the riot act but let us go. Lucky I wasn’t arrested I guess!!

Wasn’t like that was going to be used again? Should have let you take it

Some guy in our section brought a handsaw and cut out his wood bleacher seats.

It was the 70's.
