Check out the press box. I don't know if I'd stand on that thing :lol: :

It looks like somebody planted a houseboat on top of the stadium.

I haven't seen any pictures of the stadium during this time period. Any idea who we are playing?

Some of those people STILL have season tickets!
And still aren't cheering!

My grandfather got four season tickets when the stadium looked like that ('56, I believe). He's been gone a few years now, but I still sit in those seats every game!

One of my customers has had season tickets since the mid late 50's. Actually he (William "Bill" Johnson) played '55-'57 and is in the Tennessee sports hall of fame

Great picture; I was looking for the jumbotron and it appears to be a 1953 Motorola. You have to look closely to see it, lol.
