Section 213 (mezzanine), front row. Also had a pass to the stadium club. I remember meeting Pele, Werner Roth, Dennis Stuart, Franz Beckenbauer, Bobby Smith and Carlos Alberto, among others. Met Henry Kissinger once after a match. I was only 9 at the time, so I didn't have the urge to slug him.

Every time they won you'd hear "Nobody Does It Better" over the PA.
And who could forget those awful cheerleaders ... The Cosmos Cheers ... blech!

Remember the 35 yard line? I think it was introduced specifically for Giorgio Chinaglia so he didn't need to run as much.

Ahhh, those were the days.
