[QUOTE="Illinir1, post: 2010391, member: 4270"] You would have loved the Mike White era 80's. The stadium, the tailgate lots, even the whole town was full of orange and blue on game days. The stadium absolutely rocked and sounded like a jet engine at field level. Here are the years of the Top-10 Largest Memorial Stadium crowds (with attendance for #1 and #10): #1. 1984 (Mizzou) 78,297 #2-#7 All 1985 #8 1983 #9 & #10 1984 (Minnesota) 76,056. For the 1983 thru 1986 seasons there were 23 Memorial Stadium sellouts with the smallest attendance of those being the last game of 1986 with 70,568. "The Eighties Belong to the Illini" was an accurate slogan. This upcoming season will be my 43rd consecutive as a seaon ticket holder. I'm still attending with the hope of one day re-experiencing the atmophere of the mid-80's. [/QUOTE]
