Your guide would like for everyone to share their memories of Cooper Stadium so we can remember it after they tear it down. I'll start:
In the mid 1980's I lived in a cheap apartment on W. Mound St. A cheap source of entertainment was Cooper Stadium and the Clippers just a mile or so down the street. I would ride the #3 Mound St. bus, pay (I think) just two bucks to get in, and have a great time. Dime a dog night was great (I was much younger and thinner then so I could blow a buck on dime-a-dogs. Now I'd have to stay within a quarter or so.)
Some nights there were promotions beforehand or fireworks after, and the view of downtown was great. I just can't imagine why this has to be torn down for something new.
What are your memories of Cooper Stadium? Submit them and I'll add your memories here.
