From the reviews
…It's like a Track and Field family reunion
Historic arena that hosts football, track, Penn Relays, and graduation. We attended two graduation ceremonies recently and it was well-staffed, orderly, very spacious to sit privately, had nice facilities, offered refreshments. No cans or bottles allowed, steps are steep so wear comfortable shoes.
…One of the best venues in world for track and field!
If you love track and love history, there are few better places to visit than Franklin Field. The setting and structure itself are authentic and charming.
