Yale Bowl, Football stadium in New Haven, United States.
The Yale Bowl features a deep concrete structure with 30 entrance tunnels and a playing field positioned 27 feet below ground level.
The stadium opened in November 1914 as the largest enclosed sports facility in the United States, with an initial capacity of 70,896 spectators.
The Walter Camp Memorial Gateway leads to the stadium, commemorating Yale's first football coach who established fundamental rules of American football.
Current seating arrangements accommodate 61,446 people, with access through multiple concrete tunnels distributed around the circular structure.
The excavated soil from the playing field construction created the elevated embankments where concrete seats form a continuous ring around the field.
