C's owner Walter Brown called Rochester owner Les Harrison with a proposition. He said, ‘Listen, Les. I’m the president of the Ice Capades. If you lay off Russell at Number 1,pick the date and I’ll throw the Ice Capades in your building for 2 weeks.’ This was Red’s genius working overtime. He knew that in the off-season back then, a lot of those big arenas sat empty. Having the Ice Capades in your building for 2 weeks was like having the Harlem Globetrotters: guaranteed sellouts! Harrison bit.

The circus back then would sign contacts in advance to play in some towns. The circus had shows in other towns like the Old Boston Garden for years and teams like the Celtics would go on a road trip while the circus was in town(they still do). The Celtics and Bruins are on road trips while the circus is in town. How did Red Auerbach acquire Bill Russell?

Thank you for the piece on Mikan. Our family lived kiddie corner from George, Pat
and their children (oh and their boxer, Bones). I mention this because it was a very
big deal when Edward R Murrow came to do person to person at the Mikan home.
In those days, late '50's, they ran cables about the size of sewer pipes!
I keep searching hoping someone has archived a video of the visit with Murrow
on Person to Person.

Rest in peace.

Great Video but George was a star in late 1940's and Mid 1950's. Also Bob Petit and Paul Arizin were great players in the 1950's
