Harvard Stadium

Harvard Stadium features a horseshoe design with concrete walls rising 62 feet high and containing over 30,000 seats within its classical architecture structure.

The stadium opened on November 14, 1903, becoming the first large-scale reinforced concrete structure in North America and establishing a model for future sports facilities.

This National Historic Landmark serves as home field for Harvard University football games and maintains strong connections with student athletics and community events.

Located at 79 North Harvard Street, the stadium offers free admission to Harvard students for all varsity athletic competitions throughout the academic year.

The structure influenced American football rules in 1906 when its rigid concrete walls prevented field widening, leading to the introduction of forward passing.
