Is it The Patio Lounge or was it a sound stage?

Edit:
Watched it a little more, realize the bar is way too big to be the Patio Lounge.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Pastime, does it have that giant brick, arched entrance, like in the movie?

As an alternative, the Greys’ alma mater was changed to Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge, where two weeks of filming began on 7 Nov 1987. Production notes in AMPAS library files state that during this time, Hackford shot footage of the LSU pregame and halftime activities at Tiger Stadium, which were used to provide atmosphere for scenes featuring Quaid. The opening pep rally scene was shot in front of the State Capitol Building, with 1,500 students appearing as background actors. After a holiday break, production resumed 26 Jan 1988, on locations including the Country Club of Louisiana; a bankrupt restaurant; the deserted Capitol House Hotel, which stood in for the Greys’ Washington, D.C. apartment; the Charbonnet and Nottoway plantations; and a suburban home in St. Francisville, LA. The wedding night scene was filmed at a private lakeside residence, while the historic Spanish Town neighborhood served as the setting for the race between Gavin and “Narvel Blue.”
Following extensive research at NFL (National Football League) Films in Mount Laurel, NJ, Hackford spent two weeks rehearsing the professional football sequences with players who were hired to reenact several difficult and historic plays. The games were staged at Baton Rouge’s Southern University and the War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, AK, and shot using the “tough, gritty texture” of 16mm film to provide a visual match to the NFL footage in the Denver Broncos sequences. According to the 2 May 1988 issue of Time magazine, Quaid broke his collarbone during one of the plays, and footage of the injury can be seen in the final film.

still have my hollywood paycheck stub from being an extra on that movie.

it was like $15/hr which was insane considering i was rocking $3.35/hr at TCBY at the time.

i remember freezing our arse off at university high's football stadium while they were trying to set up a scene. we all went & hid inside under the bleachers.

So many of those in BR in the late 80's, we thought about having a Bankrupt Restaurant Festival.

i need to go back & look it up. it was less than $1,000 for sure; they weren't shooting scenes where we were needed that often. i need to take a pic of the stub. it was like 'the atmospheric group' or some shite.

i remember my dad being so proud of those check stubs. my dad valued nothing more than seeing his kids make money.

i remember the director getting pissed during one scene and getting on a bullhorn and saying "STOP HIGH FIVING EACH OTHER. THERE WERE NO HIGH FIVES IN THE 1950s!"

Supposedly some chick gave Quaid a BJ up the stairs at The Chimes

I know a guy who knew a guy etc who claimed to be hiding in the bushes when Jessica Lange shot her nude scene by the campfire

Also know a guy who was an extra in the football crowd scenes, but that's not very interesting so who cares

Same place as Vince Sotile's, right? Not to be confused with Vince's (you may need a scorecard to follow along). I went to Vince Sotile's a couple of times. Never went to Vince's, even though I lived about a quarter mile away. Hung out at the minimart, but never ate at the restaurant. We couldn't afford it....
