I found this to be an interesting clip that I caught last night on the socials.
90 degrees in October, the new Sanford Stadium, Yale donating receipts to pay off the loan for it, and tickets at $3 (roughly $60 today) made for a sold out stadium dedication for what many of us consider to be the Vatican of College Football today. Classic.
Just glad Vernon “Catfish” Smith couldn’t hit the portal and that the fans didn’t have to pay a service fee or use a third-party vendor for the event.
Here’s the complete video if you’re interested:
Those were the days.
90 degrees in October of 1929? That’s like global warming, oh wait…..
It would be great to have Yale come to Sanford in 2029, but I don’t think the NCAA will allow it because the Ivy League doesn’t give athletic scholarships
Have my grandfather’s ticket framed in mint condition.
That’s pretty cool.
Can someone post the link to the complete documentary here? I don’t have Twix so I can’t see the comments there.
Thanks!
I updated it to include the full video in the post. Enjoy!
No parking problems! That would be perfect. What a difference from today. Oh well,💰💰💰💰💰💰
