Was your dad a letter winner?? Who was he? What sport?One more of them during homecoming outside their home. View attachment 70877
I was noticing the last one. With the cars parked next to the bleachers. I was wondering how much you had to contribute to get one of those spaces? Probably $100/year maybe?
Acoustimac: My dad graduated Vet Med 1954 and my mother was a grad school chemist in Ames Lab also...Small world...Lived in Pammel where I'm sure I was conceived....MUCH simpler times. Thanks for sharing
Along with our energy consumption and environmental impact. Since the 80's the average home size has doubled. Funny, cause I never recall being short on space back then.Great photo to use when people complain our standards of living have not improved since the 1950s or the 1960s -- people used to pack themselves into sardine cans like that. Our modern housing stock is so much more spacious than that.
Mostly first come, first served for parking in those days, I believe. And folks did not tailgate like we think of it now is my understanding of things.Compelling question.
Inflation-adjusted would be about $950 today --- does that sound like it'd align with a similar spot today? (Also would have to take into account relative size of stadium and surrounding area). ... I have no grasp of even tailgate rental rates in current times, so I'm curious if someone could estimate.
Awesome pics. I agree with other posts, photos are in excellent shape and it's cool to have color photos from that era, when B&W was so much more common. When I look at the game photo I can almost feel like I'm at the stadium.
What was capacity of Clyde Williams at the time?
