I even got stopped by a guy about 7 foot tall at the door, but my friend said I was with him. So, I said "I thought you said this was legal; it is, he said"
When they brought out the first two boys, a guy behind us stood up and yelled; "I got $20 on the red": from across the room another guy answered, I'll take it.
Then my friend turned to me and said: "that's the part that's not legal."
There was heavy gambling on every chicken fight; all the bets were vocal from across the room or back and forth in the stands.
Today, the fights themselves are illegal (I know that is another sick bird). Don't know where I would begin to look for another chicken fight today.
