Ad for cancelled show at the Cole Field Hose, University of Maryland, Sept. 20, 1970:

In 1970, a fraternity on campus invested $7,000 to bring Led Zeppelin to the Cole Field House. The show was cancelled after university officials said it violated university rules of only five major concert programs being held in Cole Field House per year and also cited concerns over the logistics of the concert.

Very interesting and previously unknown! Come to find out Cole Field House capacity at the time was about 12,000 so it certainly was a suitable venue. Seems the fraternity would have made a fair amount of profit on their $7,000 investment had university officials allowed it.
