NSO 2007 > Life at Penn > Franklin Field 
Franklin Field is the oldest two-tiered stadium in the country, with a seating capacity of 52,598. Originally opened in 1895 for the first running of the Penn Relays, the stadium was rebuilt 72 years ago. It has been the site of the nation's first scoreboard, the first football radio broadcast, the first football telecast, and Vince Lombardi's only NFL playoff loss. The field has also been the home of the Philadelphia Eagles.
