My brother and I used to get the company seats in that era for every pre-season game (nobody else wanted those tickets).We used to enjoy going to see the young guys and prospects play, and it was also fun because the players who weren't playing (usually half the regulars) would walk around the concourse with the public, so we would actually walk right up to them to converse and get autographs. Even players travelling with the opposing teams would just be walking around. This was possible due to the fact that only 3,000 to 5,000 fans would attend.
