Negative. Black and white negative bearing a panoramic composite of fours photos of University of Detroit Stadium, filled with spectators during the 1934 Thanksgiving football game between the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears (which the Bears won 19-16), as viewed from its southwest corner, facing northeast. A marching band has taken the field in one segment. In another, a group of kilted bag pipers and drummers are performing. A costumed Lion mascot stands along the sideline on the west side of the field. Six Mile Road runs across the background. A caption printed into the image reads:
