My grandfather, Bill Briggs, was the first scoreboard operator in what is now Paul Brown Tiger Stadium in Massillon. Dad just told me that there is a new photo book out about Massillon with a photo and blurb about him so I can't wait to see it. Below is a nine minute video about Massillon made in 1958. They say that the Tigers drew more people than 90 percent of the nation's colleges. I remember growing up when we we always drew the 4th largest crowd in Ohio behind the Bengals, Browns and Buckeyes.
