The Golden Bears are the official team of the University of California, Berkeley. The Cal football team plays its home games at picturesque California Memorial Stadium. Built to honor Berkeley alumni, students, and other Californians who died in World War I, and modeled after the Colosseum in Rome, Cal's Memorial Stadium was named one of the 40 best college football stadiums by the Sporting News. The Cal Golden Bears football team has produced two of the oddest and most memorable plays in college football: Roy "Wrong Way" Riegels' fumble recovery and run toward the Cal goal line in the 1929 Rose Bowl, and The Play in the 1982 Cal-Stanford game with the winning kickoff return after five laterals.
