We moved to Ann Arbor in 1980 so my husband could go to med school there, and I enrolled in grad school. It was an Olympic year and someone showed up as we were waiting for my Latin class to start and said, "Did you see that weird sport they had on the Olympics last night?" Everyone else chimed in about it. They were all wonderfully amused by this strange, obscure sport they'd never heard of, kind of like hockey, but it was played outside on grass and you were only allowed to use one side of the stick! Having played field hockey from a tender age, I couldn't believe that they didn't have a clue about the sport! I knew I was back home when we got back to Vermont for my husband's internship and residency, and the high school girls' (and college womens') field hockey scores were listed on screen during the nightly news as God intended. ;)
