The attendance was 48,236. I believe a lot of people did ‘attend’ the game but opted to stay in the warmer areas and drink. I know a good number of my section was never in there seats, but were in the Stadium. Years ago, I thought Michie’s capacity was in the low 40K’s, but #150 has to be the largest crowd Lehigh as ever played before. Lehigh played in Orlando’s Citrus Bowl for the 1979 I-AA Championship against Eastern Kentucky which sat, then, over 50,000….but only 6,000 showed up. So that might go down as the game played before the most empty seats.
