If it wasn’t for the worldwide web, the particulars of a festival-style rock concert I attended in 1970 would be forever lost to memory. Before searching out the concert, I remembered only three things: it was held in San Jose, Calif., in an outdoor sports stadium; that The Ike and Tina Turner Revue headlined the show; and that the show was general admission. Though I had arrived early and had “front row” seats, I could not remember any of the other bands on the bill.
I remembered that Ike and Tina headlined because they played last and absolutely brought down the house. The recollection of their barn-burner set led me to the Revue’s touring record, which revealed that the show I attended had been called the All-College Music Festival, held on May 16, 1970, at San Jose State University’s Spartan Field now named CEFCU (Citizens First Equity Credit Union) Stadium.
New ROCORI Athletic Field to be Named Blattner Stadium
COLD SPRING – ROCORI’s new athletic field has been given a new name.
The ROCORI School Board is expected to approve naming the new artificial turf field Blattner Stadium during their Monday night meeting.
“Karen and David Blattner and Angel and Henry Blattner have accepted the opportunity to name the facility Blattner Stadium, home of Spartan Field and William J. Virant Memorial Pavilion,” writes the ROCORI Spartan Booster Club in a memo. “This will be an extraordinary facility for ROCORI student athletes, ROCORI’s entire K-12 student body and the local community.”
