Each section is divided into aisles A, B, and C, with seats in the first aisle at the bottom of the stands and aisles B and C next to each other at the top. The 70,000-capacity stadium has 67 rows, of which the first 25 are in section...
...matter what the subject, Old Iron-bottom was not as nimble as he used to be. In the past, he could always cover up his defeats in his false-premise logic and steal the headlines by explosive charges of warmongering.
