Watched part of The Buddy Holly Story yesterday myself.
Huh, I never made the connection
The group was flying into Hector Field in Fargo, ND.
The performance was to be held at the now torn down
National Guard Armory in Moorhead, Minnesota.
The armory held many events, including a college dance in the fall of 1967 which I attended. One of the colleges in Moorhead, Concordia College did not permit dances on its campus so their students came to these dances which included students from Moorhead State College, now Minnesota State Univesity Moorhea, and NDSU (North Dakota State University).
As you may know Buddy Holly’s replacement for the concert was Moorhead resident Bobby Vee.
