Stanford Cardinal Football

The Stanford Cardinal Football team plays games at Stanford Stadium which was originally built in 1921, demolished and rebuilt in 2006, and has a seating capacity of 50,000. The team first started tackling opponents back in 1892 and currently plays Division I ball in the Pac-12 Conference. Cardinal games are usually extremely competitive affairs as the team has fielded teams that have won multiple conference championships and national titles. Some notable Cardinal players include Jim Plunkett, John Elway, John Lynch, Andrew Luck, Derek Hall, and Alex Smith. Cardinal tickets are never easy to secure as thousands of students and alumni regularly pack Stanford stadium regardless of how well the team is playing.
