CALIFORNIA MEMORIAL STADIUM

California Memorial Stadium is an outdoor football stadium on the campus of the University of California in Berkeley. Commonly known as Memorial Stadium, it is the home field for the University of California Golden Bears of the Pacific-10 Conference. The venue opened in 1923 and currently seats 71,799 fans, making it northern California's largest football stadium in terms of seating capacity. The stadium was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on November 27, 2006.

Memorial Stadium was funded from public contributions, as a memorial to Californians who lost their lives in World War I (1917–18). The chair of the architectural committee was John Galen Howard, the university's chief architect, and his influence is evident in the stadium's neoclassical motif. In addition to its unique architecture, the stadium's position at the foot of the Berkeley hills provides top row spectators with panoramic views of San Francisco Bay and west side viewers with views of the Berkeley Hills and Strawberry Canyon.

This has earned it a reputation as one of the most scenic venues in college football.
Memorial Stadium does not have a running track, so the stands descend right down to the football field (the lowest central seating views on the west side can be blocked by the standing visiting team reserve members). The playing field runs NW-SE, at an elevation of 410 feet (125 m) above sea level.
Traditionally, during most football games and especially during the Big Game against Stanford, the hill overlooking the eastern side of Memorial Stadium attracts spectators hoping to watch a game for free, earning the nickname "Tightwad Hill."

The university claims that Memorial Stadium is valued at $593 million based on the construction costs of a replacement stadium. The city of Berkeley claims that the stadium's true value does not exceed $110 million.

Cal Cruises To Win Over Rice



Picture: Vereen breaks a tackle after catching a pass to break free for a 21 yard gain.

The Golden Bears started off the season on the right foot today as they took on the Rice Owls this afternoon at the Memorial Stadium. They went onto win their home and season opener in a one sided affair.

Early on things did not look good for the Bears, they had a very disappointing start to the game. Their defense just couldn't get the stop on third down when it was needed, and let Halfback Sam McGuffie explode for a 69 yard run after missing numerous tackles. After the first things were knotted up at 7-7.

After the first quarter things would turn one-sided fast, it took awhile for the offense and defense to warm-up but once they did they were virtually unstopabble, doing all the right things each time they were on the field.

Shane Vereen To Miss Time

It looked like Shane Vereen was just about ready to take over at the running back position this season, after being a back-up runningback in favor of Javhid Best for the first season of his career. However an Abdominal Strain will keep Shane Vereen from playing the next three weeks. Vereen will miss only 2 games against Colorado and Washington St, due to the Golden Bears having a eek 3 bye. Vereen will return just in time to take on Pac-10 Rivals the USC Trojans.
