Many Tribe fans know of League Park, a cozy baseball venue nestled in an east-side neighborhood dating back to the late 1800s. It was land-locked amid properties that were not for sale; this had not been a problem during the heyday of the streetcar. With the boom of the privately owned automobile in the early part of the 20th Century, however, the lack of parking areas became a logistical nightmare during Indians games. The 27,000 capacity limited attendance on some days, as well.
I am not going to sit here and pretend that the 1970s were better than any other decade in our history. The United States’ Cold War with the Soviets carried the implied threat of a nuclear strike. The war in Viet Nam was a confusing, polarizing mess. Civil unrest and failed leadership both resulted from, and contributed to, public discord.
Nottingham, England and Capital FM Arena are home to the latest UFC fight card this afternoon and there is a great local flavor on tap for all of us here is Cleveland. Stipe Miocic is a young heavyweight contender from our own backyard and is the main event on what should be a fantastic fight card. The event will air live at 4pm n Fuel TV.
Another fight card from the Ultimate Fighting Championship has come and gone and another event that I feel was a real let down. UFC 150 had the makings of a great card and it was just okay. Hopefully this isn’t the way I feel every time after I watch a pay per view. When the three main fights don’t deliver like you would think, you might walk away with a bitter taste in your mouth.
Tonight in Denver, UFC 150 takes place and the fans watching in the Mile High State and on pay per view are in for a real treat.
