via "closed circuit tv".

Syria Mosque was a concert hall. Closed circuit tv featured no advertisements - you could hear the play by play announcer and the color commentator talking during the breaks.

I also saw the 1974 Notre Dame vs Pitt game at the same venue, same closed circuit tv broadcast. That was the game where ND held Tony Dorsett to 61 yards while they rammed fullback Wayne Bullock down Pitt's throat, especially in the last 8 minutes of the 4th quarter when ND drove 55 yards for the winning TD. Carry after carry went to Bullock and Pitt couldn't stop Wayne The Train. He ran for 124 yards in that game. One of the beauties of this was that the Syria Mosque was located in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh which is the Pitt campus. Plenty of disappointed and whining Pitt fans there that day. It was quite enjoyable for me, though.
