The Braves had decent support. I used to go to games for $4 and a coupon on the milk cartons. Some nights were UB student discounts. The Knox brothers (Sabres) controlled the AUD calendar and froze the Braves out of Friday and Saturday nights. Then John Y Brown pulled his voodoo.
Before the 3 point line; MacAdoo, Randy Smith, Gar Heard, Ernie "no" D, Jim McMillian etc, etc, etc.
I know I'm an old fart but have tried to explain to the Curry/LeBron generation that back in the day you could score 130+ points and lose a game. ?
