I agree on withholding the answers...heck, we've got 2 weeks to muddle through. I won't cheat and research them because I'm too lazy.
Scary confluence of randomness...last night, I get a call that my buddy's mom passed away...the guy who played on that Cross team in '69. I probably haven't seen him more than 3 times in the last 7 years. Wow !
You plugged in upstairs, campy ?

Yes, it does. Very good, bummer.
So does that mean the first night game was actually played against Air Force? Or did you post the wrong picture?
The key to your dilemma, little muffin, will be found by examining the opponent in the photograph. That will unlock the door of understanding.

WANG IS THE WINNER. He is missing one detail. John "The Sheik" Brazilian (now a Boston lawyer) was scheduled to pitch in the 1967 CWS in Omaha. The night before the game he slept next to the AC and woke up stiff, and was ineffective. BC lost.
FOR HIS PRIZE, Wang gets this beautiful full color picture of the first night game at Alumni Stadium, vs, Tulane in September, 1972, What a great prize, huh?
Andy Buni and AMDG should have won, but they couldn't "put it all together" the way Wang did. Wang is like a gull, swooping in. Honestly, Wang, did you know a single answer on this quiz? GREAT WORK!!!

NotoriousOrange {l Wrote}:I will pull a Campion and protest this win. This link http://gonu.com/football/090831-huskies ... rday.shtml clearly states that " The Northeastern Huskies ........................... Boston College has won all four previous meetings, which have all taken place in Chestnut Hill. The first three games came at old Alumni Stadium in the 1930s, including the 1938 game that was BC’s first-ever night game on campus.
All the right answers are upstream in this post and I would like to claim first place

"The roots of Alumni Stadium and on-campus football at Boston College date back to 1915, when the original Alumni Stadium was dedicated. The facility was located on middle campus on the site of today's campus green. "

Your contest is a flawed as 81's - My quote is from the official Atletic site of Boston College Eagles and your question made no mention of the current facility just "Alumni Stadium"
