From the book Prints Over Hamilton -
The traditional Labour Day game between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Toronto Argonauts has always been a crowd pleaser, but on Sept. 6, 1971, the game attracted an Ivor Wynne Stadium record crowd as 34,553 fans watched the game from every nook and cranny of the stadium.
With the huge crowd anticipated, a Spectator photographer took to the air to capture the scene from a low-flying aircraft. It was a good day for Hamilton all round as the Tiger-Cat faithful went home happy with a 30-17 victory.
