Why track Franklin Field attendance?
If your stub says Franklin Field, that is this Penn campus stadium — it still stands and still hosts college football. Eagles nights here run September 28, 1958 through December 20, 1970. Shibe Park was the earlier Eagles home. Veterans Stadium was the next bowl, not a rename of this field. Log those nights on the Philadelphia Eagles game tracker; this page is the Franklin Field the stub names.
An Eagles stub from Franklin Field is not a Veterans Stadium night and not a Shibe Park ticket. Ticket Timeline helps you pin each 1958–1970 game you attended here to the real matchup and roster. The stadium is still there.
- Log Eagles home games you personally attended in this building—1958 through 1970 in Ticket Timeline's data.
- Keep Shibe Park tickets on that earlier Eagles home—nights there end December 14, 1957.
- Keep Veterans Stadium tickets on that later South Philadelphia bowl—nights there start September 26, 1971.
- Count those games toward your wider NFL venue progress.
- Import old stubs, spreadsheets, or Gmail confirmations instead of retyping every date.
