That one year we had people standing on the home side as well. Was told close to 7,000 showed up for that one year. That means we would have to double the stadium size to fit everyone in a seat. That means over 3,000 people stood up. Â Good luck to the Lions !! Edited October 27, 2022 by player73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the stands had a lot of people touching knees . I know that it took 10-15 minutes to get from one side of the stands to the other. Franklin also had a seating area by the concession stands back then as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact the capacity of both Cameron and Franklin is 3,671 for total seating. About the same seating numbers.......with your total accounting for 60% standing room compared to Yoe  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't like the view stay home and listen to it 99% of the time there is no seating issues at Yoe Field or Franklin. It's just when these types of games come along every 3 to 5 years. It adds to the drama and excitement. Hope there's no lightning. Would like to we see a good crisp game on both sides, but I'm doubtful in this weather.

Hope Rhoades had our Yoemen practicing with a wet ball on a wet field, and he brings an extra set of jerseys to change into at halftime.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
