Harvard Stadium

Harvard Stadium is a U-shaped football stadium in the Allston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, in the United States. Built in 1903, the stadium seats 30,323. The stadium seated up to 57,166 in the past, as permanent steel stands (completing a straight-sided oval) were installed in the north end of the stadium in 1929. They were torn down after the 1951 season due to deterioration and reduced attendance. Afterwards, there were smaller temporary steel bleachers across the open end of the stadium until the building of the Murr Center (which is topped by the new scoreboard) in 1998.

Famous quotes containing the words harvard and/or stadium:

    And the Harvard students in the brick
    hallowed houses studied Sappho in cement rooms.
    And this Sappho danced on the grass
    and danced and danced and danced.
    It was a death dance.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    In their eyes I have seen
    the pin men of madness in marathon trim
    race round the track of the stadium pupil.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
