California Memorial Stadium
California Memorial Stadium, University football stadium in Berkeley, United States
Memorial Stadium features a neoclassical design with rows of arched windows and columns along its western facade at the University of California campus.
Built in 1923, architect John Galen Howard designed this structure to honor California students who died during World War I.
The stadium generates strong community bonds through college football games, particularly during matches between California Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinals.
With a capacity of 62,467 seats and direct access from Piedmont Avenue, the stadium underwent a $321 million renovation to enhance seismic safety.
From the top seats, visitors can see San Francisco Bay, while spectators gather on Tightwad Hill above the eastern section for free game viewing.
