Memorial Stadium
 Berkeley, CA

Located near the Berkeley Hills and the San Francisco Bay, Memorial Stadium is one of the most beautiful stadiums in the nation. Discussion of building a new stadium for the University of California at Berkeley Golden Bears began as early as 1920. Designed by John G. Howard, a new stadium was built and constructed in 1923. The $1.43 million facility was named in honor of the men who served in World War I.

Known as the “Big Game”, the first game at Memorial Stadium was on November 24, 1923 when the Golden Bears battled Stanford. The stadium had a capacity of just over 72,000 when it opened. There has been very little expansion at Memorial Stadium over the years. Expansions in the 1960s and 1980s brought Memorial Stadium to its current capacity of 75,662. Astroturf was installed prior to the 1981 season, but removed before the 1995 season, when natural grass was added. Today, a one tier grandstand circles the entire gridiron. In 2003, the grass field was replaced with Monentum Turf, a material similar to Fieldturf.In addition to seeing the game, fans at Memorial Stadium can enjoy scenic views of the nearby San Francisco Bay at the Berkeley Hills. In January 2010, the university approved a $321 million retrofit and renovation project that addresses existing seismic safety issues, while updating the stadium with new amenities including a club level, pressbox and concession areas. The project will begin after the final game of the 2010 season and be completed by the 2012 season. All 2011 home games will be played in San Francisco at AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants (MLB).
