The Opening of Harvard Stadium and a New Type of Football Venue


Listen Later

In a time when football was a brutal, almost barbaric spectacle, a new era dawned. A place where the game would be redefined, where legends would be born. Harvard Stadium was constructed to last, and it changed the field venues and stadium designs that had been around prior.

Timothy Brown of FootballArchaeology.com joins us to share the history of the opening of Harvard Stadium and its impact on the game.
