Yale Bowl

The Yale Bowl is one of the oldest College Football stadiums in the United States and has an incredible history behind it. It was built in 1914 and was the inspiration for The Coliseum in Los Angeles and Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. I had the pleasure of visiting the Yale Bowl when I was in high school and it was truly remarkable. It was designed to mirror the neogothic design of the Yale campus and some of the stone was treated with acid to look like it was aged more than it actually was. Yale Bowl even hosted the New York Giants in the 70s while their stadium was being renovated. I think it really is amazing that after more than 100 years, Yale still plays their home football games here.
