Saw Billy Cannon play for the Oilers.


Very cool, that must’ve been the hook to have the game in S La. What was attendance like ?

If I remember correctly the stadium (City Park stadium) was about 1/3 full. We had lower level seats on the Oilers side and Cannon came over to the fence to greet his family.
