If I remember correctly we needed that win to secure a playoff spot, so it was especially sweet.
...Talkin' about the Sombrero, my college room mate was from Tampa... While attending school over in Daytona, we would go over to catch games once in a while... He used to work at the mall next door, and still had his I.D., so we could park for free and walk over. And his brother worked concessions at the stadium, so we'd go in with them in the morning, then just ditch the crowd.... The place was never full, so it wasn't an issue... Add to the fact that they only counted the glasses sold, not the amount of beer, so we'd buy the first one then his brother would give us free refills for the rest of the game!.... Did you know that after 6 or 8 refills, those paper cups would just disentigrate?!...
Fla, I also attended a Steeler game in Tampa back in '98... But unfortunately we lost 16-3... It was a dreadful day, game-wise, but at least the price was right!.....
