Stadium Central

While the opening of Cardinals Stadium in Glendale, AZ has been the talk of the stadium world, another new football stadium is about to open in Palo Alto, CA. Stanford University will debut the new Stanford Stadium on Saturday September 16 in a game vs. the Naval Academy. The new stadium drops capacity for Stanford football games from approximately 85,000 to 50,000. From the pictures and images, the new stadium looks to be a much more intimate setting for a game and should allow the Stanford fans a much closer view of the action. The red seats are a nice touch in providing a coherent color scheme, especially when seats are empty. The columns under the scoreboard above the endzones are a unique feature that create an immediate connection between the stadium and the rest of the Stanford campus.
