Nick Kranz: My first exposure to Memorial Stadium (that I'm aware of/remember) was the 1994 Big Game. I was only nine at the time, and I honestly recall very little about the actual on-field action, except that the Bears won (24-23, as it turns out) and that it was a tense affair throughout. My main memories surround the emotion and culture of the event - experiences that stoked a fandom that has burned ever since.
The spectacle of the event blew me away. I remember wading through a sea of shoulder-to-shoulder fans clad only in red or blue in the walkways around Old Memorial trying to cram their way through ancient old tunnels.
