Biggest crowd at Taylor in 1975 was for Penn (19,000) NOT Lafayette (17,300). This is the only documented time I found where Lafayette was not the highest attended home game.

Lehigh beat then longstanding rival Rutgers 34-20 at Taylor but only 11,500 attended. My guess is weather contributed to the small figure?

I believe that was the first time Penn visited Taylor. IIRC the goalposts came down! Not sure Rutgers was at Taylor, but pretty sure they were in 1976. Close game and Mark Weaver from Salisbury dropped a sure TD that may have won the game. Long time ago so memory s bit sketchy.........
