Franklin Field
33rd and South Streets
Franklin Field is the oldest two-tiered stadium in the country with a seating capacity of approximately 52,000. The Penn Relays, the oldest organized relay competition in the United States (it began in 1895), is held every year in April. The Relays bring together the best track and field athletes from high schools and colleges worldwide. Parents may remember when the field was the home of the Army-Navy football game and the Philadelphia Eagles. The first televised football game was also played here in 1940.
