IWS-I think that topic needs it own thread. Needless to say that was a very tough time. A lot of my friends had just got contracts to play at Dania but I also knew a lot of the striking players that were on the picket line. There were only entrances on two sides of Dania and the strikers had it well covered. It was possible to park in the condos on the east side of the fronton then jump the fence but then you would risk your car being towed. The strikers were also lining the entrances with nails and throwing acid substances on the vehicles.

In Miami the strikers were confined to an area on the south side of the fronton so it wasn't as tough on the cars but people still got an earful went they tried to enter the fronton.
