I shot a Dolphins Titans game in Nashville. I'll never forgot it for
two reasons: One, it was a Sunday night game and it rained like hell
through part of the game.
The other reason was the trip back connecting through Chicago the next
day. The date of the game was Sept 10, 2001.
Great stadium..that's for sure.
