Since It's Notre Dame Week - 1969

[The Wasp]

Great memories from a bygone era. Grant Field, November - 1969

 

[Wrecked]

Wait, are those stands full?

 

[JoeCakeEater]

Take a look at that yellow... FML

 

[The Wasp]

Official attendance was 41,101. Notre Dame was #9 that year. TV was a rarity in those days, only one game per week. ABC televised it which probably contributed to the less than capacity. Two weeks later we beat Georgia at Grant Field 6-0. Attendance was full - 60,106.

Attendance to the UGAg game might be 60k, with 59k being dwag fans.

Wait, is The Wreck the wrong shade of gold?

Back when men were men and didn't give a öööö about what shade of yellow was what.

 

[GoBees]

All 3 female students were cheerleaders. Nice.

Shouldn’t we expect a “Tech Fan” to be actually know the current capacity of Bobby Dodd?

I've had season tix for 4 decades - I have no idea what the capacity of BDS is - it changes every five minutes and its not really a metric I'm focused on since it rarely comes into play as they say.

Too many years ago now to be sure, but I tend to remember that the stadium was packed. Wasn't that the first of the two fish-throwing games? The first one was pretty funny, but the second one devolved into bottle throwing too, in addition to fish.

And there was NO BLUE !!!

It’s been 55k for almost 20 years.

Yeah… it’s 55k, but it was roughly 41k back then and they got 60k in there…

Agnes Scott, where by and large the girls are bi and large.

 

[midatlantech]

Nope, my sister is the one on the far side I believe, engineering at Tech. When she enrolled at Tech she was told she was upping the female population by 1%.

The south stands were there so capacity was considered 60,000, but likely 55,000.

 

[thegtstunner08]

ND came in here in 2006 and we had to be at 60+. There was nowhere to sit!
