Lew,
My feelings on the ramp mirror those previous eloquent postings by Mr. Redwine on the subject. The feelings and emotions that are stirred when thinking of my walks down the ramp still can give me goose bumps. It was an awesome experience to walk down that ramp with my teammates, huddle at the bottom of the ramp and then burst out onto the field to the cheers from the crowd.
I remember during my Senior year when we got the "new" lighting for the Bowl (the lighting on the poles located at the top of the Bowl were installed in 1965. Prior to then the lighting was located on telephone poles located on the field next to the walls of the bowl). The new lighting was hyped to be 5 times brighter than the old lighting and what a thrill it was to run out onto the field from the ramp into that new bright lights and the support of the Mustang fans, the fabulous band playing Peruna and the cheers from the cheerleaders.
