I'm curious to see the turnout tonight for the Clovis West-Clovis East football game, matching No. 1 vs. No. 2 and in ideal weather conditions.

I covered the record turnout for Lamonica Stadium, the 1985 Central Section Division I (then Yosemite Division) championship, when Clovis West culminated a 13-0 season by defeating Clovis 21-9. More than 10,000 fans attended. Some are convinced the number was closer to 12,000.

All I remember is it was shoulder-to-shoulder in the aisles, basically precluding the possibility of a quick trip to the snackbar or, more importantly, where you go when you have to go.
