Stanford Stadium, Football stadium in Stanford, United States
Stanford Stadium features a rectangular design with 43 rows of seating around the sides and a playing surface situated 29 feet below ground level.
Originally constructed in 1921 with wooden bleachers and 60,000 seats, the stadium underwent complete reconstruction in 2006, resulting in a modern 50,424-seat facility.
The stadium hosted Super Bowl XIX in 1985, where the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins, marking a rare instance of hosting without NFL affiliation.
The facility provides wheelchair accessibility in both upper and lower bowls, with elevators near Gates 4 and 5 and designated parking in the Varsity Lot.
During the Cold War in 1962, the stadium hosted a USA-USSR track meet that concluded with athletes from both nations walking arm-in-arm around the track.
