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.

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.

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?

Boo, Boo, Boo! What about the Tiernan Center in Richmond? That gym will hold around 8000 rocking Red Devil fans and it is a nicer gym than in New Castle. I think we have also had better teams historically than New Castle. Take away Steve Alford and I don't know else they produced.

BTW, we used to have indoor track meets in our gym - to include pole vaulting!

Go. Red Devils!! The Tiernan Center was my first introdction to Indiana basketball mania. I was astounded to go to a high school game with a bigger crowd than some Blazer games.
