Infos

Ever wonder where your favourite college football team played its games before moving into its current palace? Or what kinds of facilities they played in over the years? Or if they ever played a game in a baseball park or fairgrounds? Answers to all these questions and more can be found in ""Pastures to Palaces: The Playing Grounds of College Football"".

---

College football teams today play for tens of thousands of fans in palatial stadiums that rival those of pro teams. But most started out in humbler venues, from baseball parks to fairgrounds to cow pastures. This comprehensive guide traces the long and diverse history of playing grounds for more than 1000 varsity football schools, including bowl-eligible teams, as well as those in other divisions (FCS, D2, D3, NAIA).
