re: For the Old Timers. What was it like living in Tiger Stadium?

I moved into North Stadium 4th floor in August of 1975. A first semester freshman, I had a flimsy imitation steamer trunk with all my belongings in the back of a green Ford Pinto. Also had a box fan. Roomed with a stranger from Bogalousa. A kid from Malaysia majoring in “sugar engineering” was next door. He had stereo speakers bigger than he was, and blared “Strawberry Fields” over and over for days at a time. Game days it was like living in a bass drum but I got to look down on Mike’s habitat. Pot smoke was ubiquitous. I made a 1.5 gpa that semester.
