Leon, thanks for posting, it reminded me of a story my mother told me when I was younger.
My mother was active in sponsoring Cambodian and Laotian refugees in the mid 1970's to the 80's and we were living in Seattle at the time and thus most of the people she sponsored ended up there. Anyways, after the stadium was no longer in use and before they demolished it in 1979, apparently, several of the refugees she had sponsored had let her in on a secret that they were growing poppy plants in the old stadium to supplement their income.
