I'm only old enough to remember the "bad" Colts. I liked Curtis Dickey and Joe Washington. I remember that everyone expected great things out of Curtis Dickey. I'm not quite sure why he never lived up to expectations. I also remember the low attendance in the later years. Memorial Stadium was never a great place to see a game. I think a new stadium would have helped with the attendance, and helped keep the Colts in town.
My father had acquired tickets for this game, but we were unable to go when I became sick with a bug the night before. Oddly enough, the tickets happened to be in the very section where this plane crashed. Most of the fans had left the game before it ended, due to Pittsburgh's rout of the Colts- but my father and I never left a Colts game early, win or lose. Had I not gotten ill that night before, it remains to be see whether or not I would have lived to write this today but someone upstairs wass definitely looking out for me- that much I do know.
If anyone is Interested in OWNING a Piece of the wing w/light fixture(approximately 3 ft x 18 in)from the plane that crashed in to the Memorial Stadium on December 19th, 1976, please Contact me, Via Mzfrogeee@aol.com, with MEMORIAL STADIUM as the subject. I also have some old 128 Film Pictures of the plane being removed from the stadium that day by the big Yellow Whirlybird Helicopter, and also pictures of them loading it on the tow truck, and being taken away. For the right price, You can buy this part of the wing & Part of Memorial Stadium, and Baltimore Colts' History. Thank you.. Tammy
