	Berkeley Observed :: Memorial Stadium Controversy
		The four architects were prominent graduates of U.C. Berkeley’s School of Architecture and included: William G. Corlett (class of 1910), Henry H. Gutterson (class of 1905), Walter T. Steilberg (class of 1910), and Walter H. Ratcliff (class of 1903).
		The building of Memorial Stadium was an enormous undertaking that began in November of 1922 and was rapidly completed by November of 1923.
		Neighbors feared that the stadium would be used for events other than university football games and events such as graduations, but were assured by Robert Gordon Sproul that the stadium would be used only for school-related activities—which proved to be the case for many decades thereafter.

	Berkeley Landmarks :: Whither California Memorial Stadium?
		The California Memorial Stadium (John Galen Howard, 1921) is a 72,662-seat giant perched on the mouth of Strawberry Canyon, at the base of the Berkeley hills.
		Those who might complain that Memorial Stadium stands at a disadvantage to other Pac-10 stadiums such as Stanford Stadium and Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (which, we understand, are served by 10,000 and 8,200 on-site parking spaces, respectively), are ignoring the added attractions that give Berkeley’s Game Days a sense of tradition and gaiety.
		Now that the stadium is due for a seismic retrofit, many fear that pressures exerted by the sports entertainment industry might cause the university to lose sight of its mission, traditions, and fast-disappearing bucolic setting.
