Harvard Stadium, the concrete-and-brick bowl in Allston, is the setting here, and the panorama captures the crowd spilling out after a football game rather than the action on the field. Harvard built the stadium in 1903 as the first large-scale reinforced concrete football stadium in the country, and it became a model for other college venues. Images like this one show how these post-game exits drew thousands of spectators onto the streets and trolley lines of the surrounding neighborhood, offering a window onto early twentieth-century campus life and the popularity of college football in New England.
