Did Fouts always have lights?

Not sure, but here is a story for you about Fouts lights. In the mid eighties we had a night game scheduled with NE La ( I think), and at the previous home game ( night game ) there were big time problems with the lights. Anyway, we made it tjrpugh that game OK, but discovered that the lights were shot. We asked for funding from the administration to fix the lights so as to finish out the season with NE La at home at night. THEY REFUSED to pay for the repairs for the lights and made us move the game at the last minute to an afternoon game. Let's all thank the powers that be that we are beyond the Hurley administration and that we sorta survived it.

Did Fouts always have lights?

Yes. The very first game at Fouts was at night.
