Pat, I'm forwarding to the person who asked about this. Your answer makes sense. Maybe they just called it the "Football Drive-in" as kids. Thanks!

From an old article (2002), I found it by using the cached copy, the archives require either registration or payment, I didn't go there. "Nostalgia is encouraged here, particularly if there's a little mystery attached to it. For example: There's a huge faded sign for a drive-in burger joint becalmed in the back lot of Lyndale Garden Center, at 64th and Lyndale in Richfield. One of you knows where it comes from. One of you had your first kiss at that drive-in; one of you remembers spilling pop down the speakers of your father's new car while goggling up at the neon hamburger. "The Backfence wanders through many yards -- one of them has to belong to a former carhop, a short-order chef for whom the sign meant another night of hot, greasy work. Or perhaps you just want to bemoan the lack of good drive-ins."
