HISTORY

This football stadium , built in 1923, is home to the University of California Golden Bears . The University of California announced a fundraising campaign in 1921 to fund a new stadium in Berkeley.

Varun

Plan to reach hours in advance on a big game day . Traffic on the roads near the stadium is very heavy (google maps lies). Also, getting into the stadium and getting to your seat will take very long.

ESPN

This stadium underwent a serious $321 million renovation in 2011. Bear fans now have a new press box , wider concourses, and more concession stands.

Arrive early, stay for halftime, and stick around for post-game to see the band. The Cal Band is one of the best college marching bands out there.

Jon B.

Fun college football venue. Can be a bit tricky to navigate because the concourse does not wrap completely around the stadium (it’s built into a hill ).

Lizz C.

On game day , get there early to watch the marching band 's pregame show! Also a great view of the bay if you can get into the press box
