UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BOWL vintage photo Cal Berkeley Memorial Stadium c1927 For Sale

California Memorial Stadium is an outdoor football stadium on the campus of the University of California in Berkeley. Commonly known as Memorial Stadium, it is the home field for the University of California Golden Bears of the Pacific-12 Conference. The venue opened in 1923 and currently seats around 63,000 fans for football, making it Northern California\'s largest football-only stadium in terms of seating capacity. The playing field runs NW-SE, at an elevation of 410 feet (125 m) above sea level, and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 27, 2006.

Memorial Stadium was funded from public contributions, as a memorial to Californians who lost their lives in World War I (1917–18). The chair of the architectural committee was John Galen Howard, the university\'s chief architect, and his influence is evident in the stadium\'s neoclassical motif. In addition to its unique architecture, the stadium\'s position at the foot of the Berkeley hills provides top row spectators with panoramic views of San Francisco Bay and west side viewers with views of the Berkeley Hills and Strawberry Canyon. This has earned it a reputation as one of the most scenic venues in college football.

Traditionally, during all football games and especially during the Big Game against Stanford, the hill overlooking the eastern side of Memorial Stadium attracts spectators hoping to watch a game for free, earning the nickname \"Tightwad photograph of Cal Berkeley\'s historic stadium published in a book over 90 years ago!
