For my old school peeps, I heard on the radio that today was the 21st anniversary of the beginning of the demolition of the Richfield Coliseum

It only stood for 25 years, only 20 for basketball and then vacant for 5. 1974-1999. 

I was lucky to see several games at Richfield with my parents in my teenage years.(Chones,Bingo,Campy,AC era). Nice place to watch a game but boy was that a long drive from Newark,Ohio.

Yes, two hours one way for you, while for me.....35 minutes. 

First game I saw there was my boy, all-time favorite Cav, Lloyd "World B" Free shooting his sweet ass rainbow jumper. Swear that thing would hit the rafters the arc on it was so high. Think they were playing Artis Gilmore, George Gervin and the Spurs.
