Game Day Crowd at Cox Stadium, 1963

Fans fill the midsection of the bleachers at San Francisco State College’s Cox Stadium as the Gators face their opponent on a clear afternoon in 1963. Players wearing numbers 49 and 69 move into formation near midfield, while the sideline team and cheer section watch closely. The steep rows of concrete seating and tall eucalyptus trees beyond the stands create a familiar backdrop for campus football in the early 1960s, when student and community enthusiasm filled the stadium on autumn weekends.
