Feelings of Nostalgia Surface as Patroons Return to Albany
The Albany Patroons are back, but they will never duplicate the popularity they had back in the mid 80’s. That was a special time when the Patroons were the top local sports story. But now with popularity of Siena and UAlbany men’s basketball, that won’t be the case the second time around.

If they put a good product on the court, fans will show up at the Washington Avenue Armory to watch.
