@ianfrostbeavs Right. I'm referring to doing an "Orange Out" or something to that effect. Fairly recent phenomena at stadiums.

.@ianfrostbeavs Yep, didn't have enough characters haha.

Don't think OSU did #WearOrange in 1953 when Reser Stadium opened. Should be great atmosphere tonight for #STANvsOSU

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

#BOISEvsUVA tonight at 8:00 on @ESPN. Here, @UVa_Football's Scott Stadium shown shortly after completion in 1931.

@ekinn3 Not sure how I misremembered that considering I just graduated from undergrad and grad school from OSU haha. Good catch.

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

@ekinn3 Nah, it's College Avenue.

Fielding Yost admires Michigan Stadium before it opened in 1927. @BYUfootball vs. @umichfootball Saturday at 12 EST.

From 1898-1921, Ohio State played at Ohio Field, located at Woodruff and College Ave. (via @BuckeyeHistory).

Amazing view of @GatorZoneFB's Ben Hill Griffin Stadium that shows just how close Florida fans are to the field.

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

Perhaps most historic stadium in CFB is @uscfootball's Coliseum, shown here two years before hosting 1932 Olympics.

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

Fantastic photo of @LSUfball's historic and deafening Tiger Stadium (i.e., "Death Valley") from 1956.

ICYMI: this photo captures why @FootballAU fans call Auburn, Alabama “The Loveliest Village On The Plains."

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

Love this "America Needs Farmers" card stunt at @HawkeyeFootball Kinnick Stadium (2012).

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

Great look at @FSU_Football's Doak Campbell Stadium during its inaugural season (1950). Capacity was just 15,000.

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

.@BadgerFootball's Camp Randall as it looked from 1915-24. Did they do "Jump Around" on the wooden bleachers?

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

Great gameday picture of @OhioState's campus from the 1930s. Old University Hall intact and Thompson just 4 stories.

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

Great pic of @PennStateFball's Beaver Stadium at its original site (c. 1940) before it was moved to its current site.

[Football Cathedrals @NCAACathedrals]

Also need to cc in my last tweet: @davebiddle, @SteveHelwagen, @11W, @Landgrant33, @TIM_MAYsports.
