Scott Magness shared this photo of his Dad's championship ring. B. Don Magness (FW Director of Public Events from 1965-89) met with Bob Lindley in the foyer at Will Rogers most nights to give us our comp tickets. B. Don was a charismatic and friendly man with a big cigar.

Texans fan Ron Page has this Neil Nicholson jersey! Nicholson, a New Brunswick native, played 51 games as defenseman for the FW Wings, 326 games for the Texans, 41 NHL games with the Seals and Islanders, and (gasp!) 18 games with the Dallas Blackhawks.

Texans fan Bren Kay still has this Texans jersey with Colorado Rockies stripes!

Anybody out there have photos that you took at the Texans or Wings games at Will Rogers or the Convention Center? We'd love to see and share them!
