| | Harvard Stadium at 100 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27) |
 | | The Stadium was never fuller or noisier than it was 35 years ago when both teams were unbeaten and Harvard ``won,'' 29-29, with 16 points in the final 42 seconds. |
 | | Harvard, which played the first football game in 1874 (the earlier Princeton-Rutgers contest was modified soccer), had used fields on the Cambridge side of the river, north of the Yard, before moving to Soldiers Field's expansive, if mucky, acreage on the Allston side of the river. |
 | | Thus was born football's golden age, with the Stadium, Yale Bowl, and the Rose Bowl (the country's three landmarked stadia) as its showpieces. |
