Tobacco Bowl football game

  • chriswho said:
    certainly looks like U of R's football stadium today, but I have no idea if that is what it really is...
  • richmondgrocery said:
    Indeed, it is City Stadium, now called University of Richmond Stadium. The Tobacco Bowl football game was part of the National Tobacco Festival, which was held in Richmond every fall from the 1940's to the 1980's. The football game was a pretty good one from time to time - eventually it got to be University of Richmond vs. someone else like Virginia Tech, but good regional teams played in the game from time to time and it was even host for the annual UVA-Tech game. It was not a postseason event. The Festival also had a big parade as well as a Grand Marshal for the whole festival. In the old days, that usually meant a pretty decent celebrity because of all of the cigarette advertising and sponsorship on radio and TV. For example, the 1948 Grand Marshal was Frank Sinatra. It was a very big deal back in the day.

    Correction - it appears that Sinatra was the Grand Marshal for 1949. The game was played between University of Richmond and Virginia Military Institute. Richmond won 27-14.

  • Harry Angstrom said:
    Link to Wikipedia article about Baden-Baden. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baden-Baden Is this the "New Castle"? or the "Old Castle"?

  • Alice C said:
    de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Stolzenfels is a german article about the castle. Perhaps you could adapt the tags?
  • runlama said:
    I added some tags but I can't delete the wrong tags: it's neither Karlsruhe nor Baden-Baden, Schwarzwald, Black Forest etc. ... even though it is written on the negative!

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Castles and fortresses from above, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
