Wife was manager on duty at the then-Hilton that weekend. We always stayed at the hotel when it was her weekend. We got a call from the front desk in the wee hours that water was pouring through the ceiling fixtures in the lobby at TD's lounge.

Members of the football team had set off the sprinklers on the 2nd floor. And they were being arrogant pricks about it. Except for the kid whose dad paid for the rooms.

It was papered over.

Yeah, I remember.

I was at the game and it was so bizarre with the fog.Would lose the ball on passes and punts.
I also represented one of the players that stuck a lit packet of matches under a sprinkler head to see if it would go off.It did!And then the hotel had trouble turning it off so it did more damage than it should have.
