- 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 Ten 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.
- Das California Memorial Stadium ist ein Stadion in Berkeley, Kalifornien, auf dem Campus der University of California, Berkeley. Es wurde 1923 eröffnet und dient hauptsächlich als Austragungsort für die Football-Spiele des NCAA-Teams California Golden Bears, das in der Pacific Ten Conference spielt. Am 27. November 2006 wurde das Stadion in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Das Memorial Stadium wurde durch private Zuwendungen finanziert, im Andenken an die Kalifornier, die ihr Leben im Ersten Weltkrieg verloren haben. Die Zuschauerkapazität betrug bei der Eröffnung 80.000 und wurde zuletzt 2001 nach Arbeiten auf 71.799 reduziert. Die Rekordzuschauerzahl wurde 1947 mit 83.000 Zuschauern gegen ein Team der Navy erzielt. Die Lage in den Hügeln von Berkeley bietet den Zuschauern in den obersten Reihen einen Panoramablick auf die San Francisco Bay. Bereits von 1981 bis 1994 und wieder seit 2003 wird im Memorial Stadium auf Kunstrasen gespielt. Traditionellerweise wird beim jährlichen Derby gegen den Rivalen von Stanford, genannt Big Game, auch der Hügel hinter dem Stadion, der Tightwad Hill, als Zuschauerfläche benutzt, um sich das Spiel kostenlos anzusehen.
