When you could go to a Mets game at Shea and buy a general admission upper deck ticket and sit in the mezzanine, because they would literally close the entire upper deck due to a low fan turnout.

From the mid-'70s to the early '80s, I can recall going to many midweek afternoon games, and there were frequently, if not usually, no more than 3,000 people in the stands. Those were the days when, on TV, you could hear conversations between the vendors and the fans. The place was so dead, it was unreal.

I can still hear the PA announcer: "Now batting, the leftfielder, No. 5, Steve Henderson"

Anyone remember romper room? I used to love that show!
