Stadium Capacity Will Be Materially Increased

The wooden stands which will be complete within a week will more than double the seating capacity of the Stadium. The large north stand will seat-over 12,000 people, while the seats along the track are the hold 6,000. The wooden stands along the promenade have capacity of 8.500, and those placed in the upper row of exits hold 500. This together with the 22,000 which the Stadium normally holds, brings the total number of available seats to more than 47,000.
