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.

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.

Notice that everyone use to wear hats to games? Along with shirts, ties, etc.? Including the wimmen?

Now they paint their bellies and wear cheeseheads.

It's called "evolution".

That was several years ago. You need to account for inflation. In today's terms, it's 120,000

Rumor has it this was your first outdoor game.............

For the technically challenged, I couldn't do a cut and paste on the photo, what am I missing?

Click on "QUOTE" on the post showing the picture.

At the front of the url, you will see [img]. At the back of the url, you'll see [/img]. That's all that you have to do with a link to a picture.





That's how we can post pictures of ourselves too.
