Inscription reads; "Robinson vs. Georgetown football game at Robinson, IL, Armistice Day, 1922" (i.e., November 11th, subsequently known as Veterans Day). Do you know the outcome of this game, or any of the players or attendees? There seems to be a hot air baloon being filled at the back edge of the parking lot on the right, attracting a considerable crowd, and a VIP viewing stand on the right sideline.
