Eddie Van Halen's death brought out the expected tributes on social media, but it also brought back a lot of memories for local Van Halen fans, who had seen the band numerous times at Wings Stadium.
Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo is the home ice for the K-Wings, concerts, once a venue for the legendary Toughman fights but for one magical weekend in the mid 1980s, Wings Stadium hosted the most epic 80s weekend you could imagine.
Doing my end-of-the-year computer clean up - found a couple of pictures from when my son, Jack, and I went to see the K-Wings. Hanging with a couple of his buddies: Slappy & Scraps. Always a good time at Wings Stadium!
