Howdy!
So when my family and I were eating and talking at the table for Thanksgiving today, my dad told a story about how when he went to the 1985 game against Texas on Thanksgiving, the seating capacity was so full, they had to set out seats on the track. He was one of the students at the time seated on the track and after the game, some Houston newspaper had published an article with a picture of the seating, and said you could see him and his friends in the background.
I was hoping I could track down the article and possibly print it out and frame it for him. I have tried searching on Houston Chronicle, Newspapers.com, and the Library of Congress for any newspaper articles with the picture. I have found some articles about the game, and even some very old/crude pictures, but none showing the seating on the track.
Would anyone know where else I could look? I understand that unless this came from a major newspaper, one that's still running today, I probably won't find it. But I figured I would take a shot at asking for help.
Does anyone know what else I can do?
Thank-you and Happy Thanksgiving.
