Event

Step inside a century of Cal history with a guided tour of California Memorial Stadium. Opened just in time for the legendary 1923 Big Game, the stadium roared to life before 73,000 fans as Cal shut out Stanford, 9–0. Built as a living memorial, it honors students, alumni, and Californians who lost their lives in World War I. From storied rivalries to solemn remembrance, discover the powerful history, architecture and moments that make this stadium more than a field of play. Join us for a free behind-the-scenes tour and experience the place and history for yourself.
