We were likely at the same show. I saw Buffet several times there in the 90s. Starwood was a great venue.

We were likely at the same show. I saw Buffet several times there in the 90s. Starwood was a great venue. It would have been the spring of 1993, because it was after mine, and Todd Helton's freshman year of college. I say that, because I had gotten us seats in the very last row of seats at Starwood. Of course Starwood was better from the lawn. But anyway, after coming back from the concession stand, there were three girls in our seats. It was me and two of my boys. We had taken a cab to Starwood. I got to talking it up with these gals, and they were from the University of Kentucky. Other than being Wildcash fans, they were nice looking. I got to chatting it up, putting the moves on them, and as was the case back in those days, told them my name was different from my real name. "Hey, my name is TODD". I got to carrying on with them, and talked us a ride back to the hotel. I thought, at the time, that would be a WIN/WIN situation for us boys. Take some gals back with us, and get them to drive. Well, we got the ride back to the hotel. I got to telling them to look for me next year, when we play in Lexington. I'm #3 and I play 1st base. Well, true to form, my boys wound up pissing them off BEFORE we got back to the hotel. When we got there, the girls told me "Todd, we're leaving. You are really sweet, and HONEST, but your friends are jerks. We think we could trust you, but can't trust your friends" If I ever see Helton again, I'll have to ask him if he ever got some weird gals from Kentucky yelling at him, at the games.
