Harvard Stadium in Allston opened in 1903 as one of the first large concrete-and-steel football stadiums in the country, and this panoramic view records a 1911 meeting with Yale that ended in a 0-0 tie. The horseshoe-shaped bowl was built to hold big crowds for the rivalry, and the wide frame shows how the seating rose steeply around the field. Scoreless games between the two schools were not unusual in this period, when football was still developing its rules and its passing game.
