Description




Opened in the fall of 1923, the stadium is modeled after the Colosseum in Rome and stands as an enduring symbol of the University of California campus. Designed by architect John Galen Howard with co-designers G.F. Buckingham and E.E. Carpenter, the venue features a wall of pine trees to the east alongside panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay Area and three bridges to the west. Spectators find easy viewing from all angles, though visitor feedback notes that the amenities and concessions are average while premium VIP areas can feel overcrowded.
