About Stanford Stadium
Stanford Stadium
Located just a quick jaunt south of San Francisco and located smack dab on the campus of the university that gives it its name, Stanford Stadium is one of the oldest and most notable outdoor sports stadiums in the nation. It’s been the site of countless NCAA football games, professional soccer matches, and even a few NFL games here and there. Here’s what makes this venue so great.
The History of Stanford Stadium
Stanford Stadium was first erected in 1921. That’s right — nearly a century ago. That puts it up there with some of the oldest venues in the US still in use today! It replaced Stanford Field, where the college used to hold its football and rugby games, and at the time it had a massive 60,000-seat capacity.
The venue would continue to grow over the years, and by 1935 it had a whopping 93,000-seat capacity. Stanford Stadium would continue to get upgrades to its infrastructure until 2005 when a major renovation project saw the venue torn down to its skeleton and rebuilt as a modern stadium from the ground up. This cut the capacity down to around 50,000 but also completely modernized to a 21st-century venue any football fan can be proud of.
What Makes Stanford Stadium Events So Special?
Stanford Stadium combines two things: a massive proud sports history and a brand-new, cutting edge, venue where there are no bad seats. These two elements together make any game at this outdoor stadium one for the record books!
