Rut,
Yer gaining weight ?
Mom's cookin' ?

There was around 2400 people standing room only. One of the biggest crowds they ever had from what I understand. Last year there were around 4500 people in the other team's gym. I have not seen crowds like that at many games period let alone any one gender outside of playoff games.

Peace

I have gained a little weight over the last few years. It seems like it is a little muscle other than fat. I am trying to get a little more cut. It is not working right now. ;)

Peace

You were the white guy, right? :)

The only one. :D

Peace

HA...you know what they say...Ya'll look alike! :D

Looks like a fun game Rut, glad you had a good time officiating that one....That was a big crowd, but not for HS round my parts here in Central Indiana...Chrysler Arena in New Castle, IN seats close to 9K IIRC....

Try 122,000 for a HS football game in Chicago.

What game had a 122,000 during a HS game? They do not even hold that many in any college football stadium in America or any college stadium for that matter.

Peace

Maybe he meant 122,000 midgets.

It was at Soldier Field. Soldier Field also has the record for largest attendance for a college football game.

I found a link

That being said, these are unofficial numbers. And considering the size of Solder field, I think that was a pretty hefty estimate.

Peace

Ye of little faith............ numbers have ranged up to 132,000.

Old Soldier Field was completely different than what you see today or 50 years ago for that matter.


MISCELLANEOUS

Largest attendance--120,000 (est.), Austin High (26) Chicago, vs. Leo High (0), Chicago, 1937, Soldiers Field.

Just because they claim it, does not mean I believe it. Where were the fans sitting, on the 50 yard line?

Peace

Sigh......... here's a link for you, to get an idea of the cozy crowd they could hold back in the day, this was from I believe the Army/Navy 1926 game which had a smaller crowd. And I'm not going to count hats for so you can justify the crowd.

I only counted 84,317. Could be a few in the can but not 38 thousand of 'em.
