band box


It was small by today's standards, but at 70k (before the first deck took it to 84k), it was still in the ten or twelve largest on-campus stadiums at the time.

Band box is a bit of a stretch.

It was 60,210 until 1987 with only a lower bowl. That was the time period I was talking about. The first deck brought it to 70K (1988) and the 2nd deck in 1998 (along with the first jumbotron) brought it to 84K.
