Harvard Stadium

I walked here to check it, but could not experience a game. It's honestly a cool place, but you'd love your stadium to be more modern. You're in Massachusetts and I can't imagine what it's like to spend 3 hours sitting in those cement seats on a bad weather day.

Great seating anywhere in the stadium. Plenty of food. Service and staff are very friendly and provide excellent customer service. Sometimes, they offer giveaways so be in the look out. The people in the crowd are cordial. No one seems to use their assigned seats, so don't be concerned if you need to sit somewhere else. The jumbotron is very good. The restrooms are decent, not great, not terrible. The train gets you to Harvard Square, and it is a 10 minute walk from there. It is better to use the train instead of driving. There is plenty of food nearby if you want a meal before or after the game. They could use a sound system for their band.

Open to the public to work out, the stairs are famous for stair climbers and they are very hard to do. But they’re not the only way to work out here. You can also run around the track and there’s also a field next-door. Lots of street parking on the side

Steps that will make you cry and legs feeling like jello next day

Gorgeous stadium perfect for incline workouts

Nice old fashion stadium. You just should walk here from Harvard Square or Harvard yard. Some places to shelter during very cold game days, but could have more dedicated space for this. I really recommend visiting Harvard athletes facilities. Rocks field ring soccer fields and the an others more

Very bare bones ncaa experience. We went to 'the game'. The stadium itself is pretty bare without much to write about. No seats, you sit on concrete. Not many female washrooms. The food options are limited. Great atmosphere for the yale vs harvard game and amazing tailgating outside the venue pregame. I would definitely recommend attending the tailgate. However in the future would watch the game at a bar after going to the tailgate.

Very iconic colloseum stadium. The seats are made out of cement, and there isn't any shade. Make sure to bring a stadium seat, umbrella, and water to drink.

As an alumnus, I have been attending games in the stadium for at least 30 years. But I've stopped because it just isn't worth it anymore. The people now are really obnoxious and rude. The food has also gone downhill. But, if you like a stadium filled with self-consumed assholes this is the place.

No tour to Harvard University is complete without stopping by the football stadium. Better yet if your lucky enough to attend a game there. What's really cool is that the stadium is left unlocked. Anyone 24/7 can walk in the Roman coliseum type structure and walk on the turf field. A bit disappointing that it was not a grass field, but oh well. There are some renovations going on over the Summer. To me it looks it's age. The scoreboard is modest. A bit of background. The Harvard Stadium turned 116 years old this year. It has the distinction of being the oldest permanent concrete structure in intercollegiate sports. For more than a century it stands proud as the "aristocrat of American sports amphitheaters". As one writer described it. Their first game was against Dartmouth in 1903. Get a photo op on the field and experience the history of Harvard Football. It's a darn cool place to say you have visited.

Great old classic football stadium that is a replica of an actual Roman stadium - and those dang Romans knew how to build for crowd noise and fun. Not super comfy, but every concrete bench (seat) is a great view. Highly advise checking out a game or concert here. Acoustics are great, tailgating is allowed, fun place all around. ps: saying all this and I'm no Harvard fan

This stadium is honestly sooo nice there's a sick skate park right next door except you're only allowed to use it if you're absolutely nasty at skateboarding aka you can do the Shelly Smelly and the Tak Tak. The turf is unfortunately closed right now but if you sneak in during golden owa it's hella dope but if ya do... WATCH YA WEAVE !!!! HOW U PULL UP ?

I come here to run the stairs. It's the best workout in boston. The height of the stairs makes you work for it. Make sure you get those knees high. Watch out going down the stairs. It could get tricky when your legs get tired. This is a special place. It's a little haven for fitness. People all around come and test themselves on these stairs. There are people who sprint up and people to take is stair by stair. It's a great workout either way. Most times you end up making a friend out of the other runners. They will understand the pain you are going through.

The first stadium in America, and she set the standards. Forward pass invented, supposedly, by Teddy Roosevelt. Great take if you love football. Every seat is wonderful. Lots of things to buy, eat and drink during game day. Parking: park for ten bucks at H B School. Season ticket holder since '00.

Very Classica university Stadium? No! You don't find too many nations teams with this kind of stadiums also universities with such stadiums that have a long history. Definitely worth a trip to watch a lacrosse game or a football game. The food was surprisingly good. Parking is a big tough but what do you expect from a university on an old campus

This place is heartbreaking. "Heartbreaking" doesn't mean "disappointing" here. It is not disappointing. It's literally heartbreaking if you sprint up the bleacher. And that's the beauty of this place. I cannot get any exercise anywhere else like at this place. It's easy to count laps because you just have to look at the section number of bleacher. (There are 39 sections). If your jogging seems becoming easier, you might want to try this place. This place gives you perfect anaerobic/lactic acid threshold exercise. Also I'd love to have a MMA fight in this place. I think it'd be soooo gladiatorial...

I grew up not far from Harvard Stadium. I used hear the cheers when their football team or when the Patriots played. I used to park cars in a lot before games and Joe Kapp was the first Patriot name I heard. This is a must do when touring Cambridge. Walk down JFK Street and over the bridge. Hopefully it is open to explore under the seats. If a runner the stairs are a great alternative to the roads. Also take a walk thru the Business School across the Street. Walk along close to the Charles River and and you get the feeling you are back in time.

Bare bones, but a good place to watch a game. At some point I'm going to get out there and run the steps. That should be fun in a painful sort of way.

A true American classic and an underappreciated gem. The legendary architect Charles McKim designed it, in addition to Soldier's Field in Chicago, and it is a National Historic Landmark. While lights have recently been added and the first-ever night game was held on Saturday, September 22, 2007 against Brown University, the Stadium retains a decidedly old school look and feel, with no fancy luxury boxes or even seatbacks.

Something about Harvard Stadium makes me feel like I should be watching a football game in the '30s, complete with leather helmets, cigar-smoking coaches, and players in full-on sweaters with ridiculously large single letters across the front. Maybe it's the fact that the place was modeled after the Coliseum and the horseshoe-shape lends a definite "you are in a stadium, but definitely also on or near a campus" feel. Or, perhaps, it's the fact that the concrete riser seating arrangement, while a charming throwback to the days of Prohibition, is a bit of an awkward setup, or the fact that they didn't account for ample, convenient parking during the Hoover administration. Bottom line: It's a neat place to watch a game, but you've got to sacrifice some modern conveniences to truly appreciate the atmosphere.

The quality of play might not be what someone who grew up watching the LSU Tigers could expect, but it's a fun venue anyway. Definitely worth attending a game at least twice. But are they still charging 12 bucks for the GAME? Or maybe more now....

OLDER THAN DIRT. But, there is a history here. It can get mighty crowded for THE GAME - Harvard versus Yale. Otherwise, it's never THAT crowded. Try to do the stairs - then try to walk the next day. They are steep. The bathrooms are ancient. I was at the Dartmouth game on Saturday and the food was awful - but this place still gets five stars for the history!

I've recently started walking the benches/steps here. Typically I start at section 1 (and I'm nowhere near to finishing the whole megillah--yowch!) but when the gates are locked on the eastern side I start at the opposite end (section 37??). When it's sunny, the sun hits the opposite end sooner, since in Boston the sun tends to rise in the east. You can tell that it's the more popular side... I mean of course you can, because there's always more people over there... but even if you were the only one there you could tell too, because there's... shall we say regular occurrences of forensic evidence of human over-exertion, particularly at the tops of the sections. I'm mildly ashamed that I've never seen a game here even though I grew up maybe three miles away and have lived two miles away for eight years. I will. Soon. I promise. But I'm glad in a way that I came and worked out here first because it's clued me into the fact that at my age I really need to invest in a stadium cushion before I sit here for an extended period. Hey, when you get to a certain age, comfort becomes job one, and there's nothing terribly wrong with that.

This is NOT a comfortable stadium for fans. You are literally sitting on a numbered "spot" on a slab of concrete. But, the sight lines are excellent and I suppose, for as old as it is, it passes. As for concessions, they are limited and pricey. If you don't like Bud or Bud Light, they can't help you much. The other choices are Mich Ultra or Bud Light Lime. Not great. The food is standard at standard stadium prices. Maybe time to spend some of those millions though and upgrade the seating area for the fans...

TERRIBLE !! F!!- this stadium is falling down around itself, i'm sure Harvard realizes that 40,000 just squeezed in there for the Yale game - i'm surprised it didnt burst into tears and just give up and collapse.

For a 100+ year old college stadium, this place is gorgeous. Great place to see a football game or Boston breakers match. I can't wait to come back

We've come here every few years for the Harvard-Yale game. The stadium is huge, seats are cold and concrete but it's a very historic location. There are plenty of areas for the tailgating as well which makes for a very lively environment. Many memories at this place and hope that it stays for a long time.

Walked around and looked at the field. Lots of history here. Harvard History.

a beautiful stadium with very old world look. the inside facilities are kind of gross (namely, the bathrooms and "locker room" areas) but i'm still a fan of this place because the field/stadium area is so nice.
