The Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut, takes its name from its round, open bowl of seats. Yale opened it in 1914, and its plan became a model for later college and professional stadiums. This glass negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the files of a New York news photo service that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no date, so the exact day of the exposure is unknown, though the subject fits that period of growing football crowds.
