Stanford Stadium is a historic and scenic sports venue located on the campus of Stanford University in Stanford, California. Opened in 1921, the stadium has long been associated with collegiate athletic excellence and is best known as the home of the Stanford Cardinal football team. Set against the backdrop of the Santa Cruz Mountains and Stanford’s iconic architecture, it offers one of the most picturesque settings in American college sports. The stadium has a seating capacity of approximately 50,000 spectators following major renovations completed in 2006. These upgrades modernized the venue with improved sightlines, wider concourses, enhanced seating comfort, and updated facilities while preserving its traditional open-bowl design. The result is a relaxed yet engaging game-day atmosphere that reflects Stanford’s distinctive campus culture.
