Title	After the rains; view East; Armory to right; 110.000 attendance day; rainbow
Identifier	spl_wl_exp_00330
Description	Crowds at Century 21 Exposition (Seattle World's Fair): “World’s Fair attendance, like a flaming skyrocket, zoomed to a new record yesterday. By 10 o’clock, the total was 114,104. The old mark was 106,860, set September 15. The fair’s new admissions policy--$1 after 6 o’clock instead of the regular $2--was credited with pulling in the evening crowd.” (Stanton H. Patty, Seattle Times, October 7, 1962.) Highest attendance day for entire Fair was Oct. 20, 1962: 128,721 . Memorial Stadium, on left, was designed by George Stoddard and built in 1948 in memory of former Seattle high-school students killed in World War II. Owned by the Seattle School District, it was leased to the Century 21 Exposition for the Seattle World’s Fair. The Fair’s opening ceremonies and many large events were held there. The Food Circus, on right, was constructed in 1938 as the Washington National Guard Armory (Architects: Floyd A. Naramore and Arrigo M. Young) and was transformed into the Food Circus for the Century 21 Exposition (Architects: Durham, Anderson, and Freed).
