by Patricia L. CookThis Tidbits tackles some football stadiums where

history was made. Looking only at college stadi-ums, let’s kick back and learn!

• Three of the oldest college football stadiums in the nation are in the northeast, where the oldest institutions of higher learning in this country exist.

• The University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field is considered by the NCAA (National Col-legiate Athletic Association) to be the oldest football stadium. Built in 1895, it originally cost $100,000. Rebuilt in 1922, it became the nation’s first two-tiered stadium. Franklin Field was the location of the nation’s first scoreboard in 1895, first football radio broadcast in 1922, and first telecast in 1939.

• The horseshoe-shaped Harvard Stadium is

Caught Reading Tidbits!

RYAN CHERVENAK of Greeley was CAUGHT READ-ING TIDBITS at Roma Restaurant on West 10th!

Tidbits of Greeley & West Weld CountyPage 2 To advertise call 970.475.4829claimed on Harvard’s website to be the nation’s oldest stadium. Built in 1903, recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the stadium was the world’s first “massive reinforced concrete structure.”

• The first bowl-shaped stadium was the Yale Bowl, opened at Yale University in 1914. When it opened it was the largest stadium in the world since construction of the Roman Coliseum in 80 AD. It is one of four National Historic Land-marks on Yale’s campus.

• Another historic stadium dating back to 1913 is Bobby Dodd Stadium at Georgia Tech’s Grant Field. It is the oldest continuously-used on-campus college football site in the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly Division I-A). The game has been played at the downtown Atlanta site since 1905. The stadium was the site of the most lopsided game in football history. Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland College 222-0 in 1916!

• A west coast college football venue listed on the National Historic Landmark, but not as old as Yale or Harvard, is the Los Angeles Memo-rial Coliseum. Home field for the University of Southern California (USC), this is the only stadium in the world that has hosted the Ol-ympics twice. It has also hosted the Super Bowl and the World Series.

• Another California field, Stanford Stadium, made a lot of history in its 84-year life span. In spite of this, it was decided that the best thing for the school, players and fans was to replace the stadium. A new structure opened in 2006. One of the biggest complaints about the old Stanford Stadium was inadequate restroom facilities. The restrooms were enlarged but overall the new sta-dium was made smaller. The old stadium, built in 1921, had a seating capacity of 86,000, and held as many as 94,000. The new stadium is built for a crowd of 50,000.

• Of the big events held at the old Stanford stadi-um, two standouts were: when Herbert Hoover, a Stanford grad and former football manager, accepted the Republican nomination for presi-dent in 1928; and a track meet between the U.S. and the USSR (Soviet Union) in 1962, during the “Cold War,” when political tensions were high. The attendance over two days was 153,000 to watch the friendly competition.

• American football has a history dating back to the late 1800s, emerging from the European game of rugby. Player and coach at Yale Univer-sity, Walter Camp, is the “Father of American Football,” recognized for instituting the early rules of the game.

• “The Birthplace of Intercollegiate Football,” Rutgers University in New Jersey, held the first inter-collegiate football game in 1869. Rutgers defeated Princeton by two goals. Those players didn’t play in a stadium, but on a field on College Avenue in New Brunswick with a few fans there

to see what the game was about. Today, Rutgers has a beautiful stadium that seats 52,454 fans.

• Today, many stadiums are named after corporate sponsors who provide funds for the rights to advertise themselves. One of those is the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University. Built in 1980, it is the only domed stadium in the Northeast. Even though named for Carrier, an air conditioning company, the dome isn’t air conditioned!

• The air is thinner (less oxygen) in higher el-evations and breathing can be difficult in high energy contests like football. War Memorial Stadium at the University of Wyoming has the highest elevation of any Division I university at 7,770 feet (M?). Western State College in Gunni-son, Colorado is even higher with an elevation of 7750 feet. (M?) Falcon Stadium, the home field for the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, another high elevation stadium, at 6621 feet (2018 m) above sea level, is flying high.

• The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, has a unique tradition for its games: a skydiver lands on the field at Michie

Stadium holding the football to start the games. • Many college and uni-versity teams have other traditions observed in their home stadiums. Some involve songs mu-sic, some a motto, and many involve mascots.• When the Tennessee Volunteers and their 100,000 or so fans sing “Rocky Top” in Neyland Stadium, it is a chorus

that you will hear in your sleep for a few nights afterward!

• “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” a song re-corded by John Denver in 1971 has been the theme song for West Virginia University since 1972. Denver sang the song at the opening of the “new” Mountaineer Field in 1980. The words and music were written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and Denver, and at the time none of the trio had actually been to the state.

• A stadium that has received more attention in recent years for its high level college playing is known for having the only blue turf in football. Boise State’s Bronco Field’s turf is also called the “smurf turf ” for the cartoon Smurfs.

• Aloha Stadium, the home stadium for the Uni-versity of Hawaii, is owned by the state of Ha-waii, and hosts many events other than football. The Aloha Stadium Swapmeet & Marketplace, held every week on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays should be on every visitor’s itinerary.

• Many people refer to the “big house” as prison or jail. However, in football “The Big House” is the largest stadium in the country, home of University of Michigan football, with a capacity of 109,901. One of the “big” stories about this stadium is that when it was under construc-tion in 1926, an underground spring and moist, quicksand-like soil swallowed a crane! It is still there, under the stadium!

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:CARLSBAD CAVERNS

A cool place to go on a hot day is underground. One of the “coolest,” (as in really amazing!) is Carlsbad Caverns National Park in Carlsbad, New Mexico. The temperature underground at Carlsbad Caverns is 56°F (13° C) all the time.

• Jim White is given credit for being the first “ex-plorer” of the caverns in 1898. He was a cowboy who began to explore the caves as a teenager. He descended 60 feet (18.3 m) into the caverns using a handmade wire ladder. He tried to con-vince locals that the area was special for more than a decade.

• Jim was the guide for numerous people to see the caverns, including Robert Holley from the General Land Office, who surveyed and mapped the area and Ray V. Davis, who photographed the Scenic Rooms and Big Room. Davis’ photos appeared in the New York Times in 1923 and stimulated much interest in the underground wonders. On October 25, 1923, Carlsbad Cave National Monument was established. Congress designated it as a national park in 1930.

• Beneath the canyons, rocky slopes, and land of many cacti, grasses, shrubs and occasional trees, of the southern New Mexico landscape, there are more than 117 known caves that are part of Carlsbad Caverns. The caves were formed by the work of sulfuric acid, not water, dissolving much of the limestone rock of the area.

• For the first couple of years, a guano (originally used for hauling bat dung) bucket was used for entrance into the Caverns.

• In 1925, a staircase from the natural entrance to the Bat Cave was installed with funds donated from the Carlsbad, New Mexico Chamber of Commerce. It was only a matter of time before many tourists wanted to descend into the cav-erns to explore.

• There are many “rooms” inside the caverns with different formations abounding. Scientists call them “speleothems.” The carrot-like formations hanging down from the ceiling are called stalac-tites. Stalagmites are the forms that come from the bottom, reaching up. There are also won-drous formations called columns, popcorn, soda straws, draperies and helictites.

• From mid-April to mid-October there are thou-sands of bats that call Carlsbad Caverns home and rangers give “bat flight” talks each evening. It is estimated that approximately 400,000 Brazil-ian, more commonly called Mexican, bats “hang” around the caves and fly out each evening to eat tons of bugs. In spite all you have heard and seen in movies and books, bats do not attack people. When the bats re-enter in the mornings, they can be seen diving from all directions at speeds that reach 25 miles per hour (40 km/h) or more! 970-352-8895970-352-8895 1525 8th Avenue - Greeley

Loveland Ford’s Prep Player of the Week!

Trent Sieg - tight end for the Eaton Reds

On a night that felt more like the tip of win-ter rather than mid-fall, the Eaton Reds looked to keep their undefeated streak going as the Valley Vikings journeyed from Gilcrest hoping to pull off the unlikely upset.

The Eaton Reds have scored a combined 102 points in their last two games so it was no sur-prise when Coach Mondt and the Reds didn’t panic when they found them-selves down 14-0 early in the 1st quarter.

After two quick scor-ing drives by the Val-ley Vikings, the Reds shifted into high gear and never looked back. Even though Austin Ekeler and Britton Abbot continued to do their part offensively later in the game, it was the big tight end, Trent Sieg that helped shift the momentum in the Reds favor. Two touchdown

catches, one fumble recovery on defense and a handful of big receptions downfield earned

Trent Sieg this week’s Loveland Ford Player of the Week.

On Friday, Sept. 12 KFKA travels back to Eaton for what looks to be the biggest game of the season for the Reds and the Platte Valley Broncos. The Broncos have only lost one game this sea-son and that was to the undefeated Kent Denver Sun Devils. The winner of this will likely run the table in the 2A Patriot league so don’t miss it!

Find out more about this game, the games to come and the entire

world of NOCO and na-tional sports on Agfinity’s Sports Day; weekdays, 11a-1p on 1310 KFKA.

Did you hear about the guy who went into a bar to watch the UCLA-USC game last year, and had a little dog with him? The

bartender told him he needed to take the dog out-side, but the guy told him that the dog was a huge football fan. Every time UCLA scored a touch-down, the dog would bark, wag his tail and run around excitedly.At the end of the game, when UCLA had won, the dog did a back flip!

The bartender was amazed. “That’s great,” he said. “But what does he do if USC wins?” The guy said, “I don’t know. The dog’s only 7 years old!

Football Rules from Various Political Structures

SOCIALIST FOOTBALL: After you score, the state takes half your points and redistributes them to the opposing team.COMMUNIST FOOTBALL: After you score, the state takes away all your points and gives you back what the Central Bureau of Points designates as appropriate (according to your needs).FASCIST FOOTBALL: After you score, the state takes away all your points and sells them back to you.NAZI FOOTBALL: After you score, the state takes

away all your points and shoots your team.BUREAUCRATIC FOOTBALL: After you score, a tax of 80% will be imposed on the points. 10% of your points will be given to the scoring disadvan-taged, 10% of the points will be given to the oppos-ing team as an incentive “not to score,” while 60% of the points will be used by the state for adminis-tration.CAPITALIST FOOTBALL: The Super Bowl -- Winner Take All==================================I • I hear the three most popular sports in Texas are professional football, college football and high school football.• A true college football fan is one who can sit in the front row at the 50 yard line and ask, “What cheerleaders?”• What do you call a Cleveland Browns player with a Super Bowl Ring?

• It was inventor Thomas Edison who made the following sage observation: “We don’t know a millionth of 1 percent about anything.”

• Those who study such things say that chew-ing gum will reduce your recall ability by 10 percent.

• As ostrich can run just as fast as a racehorse.• In 1972, an extraordinary birth occurred. On

July 22 of that year, a woman in Rome gave birth a whopping 15 babies -- five boys and 10 girls. The siblings were quindecaplets, though, obviously, that term doesn’t see much use.

• You probably know that J. Edgar Hoover was the first director of the FBI, helping to found the bureau in 1935 and serving until his death in 1972. You might not realize, though, that in his career he never made an arrest or even personally conducted an investigation.

• It’s been reported that the last words of famed composer Ludwig van Beethoven were “Friends, applaud; the comedy is over.”

• The Rubik’s Cube, that ubiquitous 1980s toy, was invented by a mathematician in Hungary to help teach math to his students. The de-vice was first marketed as a toy in Hungary -- where one in five citizens owned one -- then was brought to the U.S., from whence it be-came an international sensation. The success of his cube made Erno Rubik the first self-made millionaire in a communist country.

• The next time you’re visiting Washington, D.C., keep in mind that in our nation’s capital, it is illegal to throw a bull in any way.

• A queen honeybee can live for up to seven years.

• On a per capita basis, Switzerland consumes more chocolate than any other country. No. 2 and No. 3 are Norway and Great Britain, respectively.

Are you a good lover?Being a good lover doesn’t mean you’re an ex-

pert in the bedroom; it means you’re an expert at relationships. To find out if you’re a good lover, take the following test. Circle the appropriate answer to each question: Y=Yes, NW = Needs Work.

1. I am patient when things aren’t going my way. I don’t blow up often. I’m steady and reli-able. Y – NW

2. I am kind to others. I like to do little things to please others, and I don’t expect any-thing in return. Y – NW

3. I am pretty much content with whom I am and what I have. I don’t envy the possessions or achievements of others. Y – NW

4. I am modest. Some of what I have is better than what others have, however, I do not boast about it. Y – NW

5. I am humble. I am not pompous and self-righteous. Y – NW

6. I am able to honor others. When some-one is more successful than I am, I can be happy for them and let them know. Y – NW

7. I am thoughtful for others. It is easy for me to give compliments. Y – NW

8. I am gentle and respectful to others. Y – NW

9. It is easy for me to forgive others when they hurt me. Y – NW


“Kick in the Pants” is a series of columns that will appear over the next six months. A compilation of the series will be made available toward the end of the series. Dr. Ross is the publisher of Tidbits of Greeley. Dr. Ross is also the Voice of Tidbits Radio on 1310KFKA Every Saturday Noon - 1pm. To contact him email: [email protected]

10. I am good at encouraging others. Y – NW

11. I am able to overlook the mistakes of others. I don’t have a little private book some-where so I can keep a record of the bad things people do to me. Y – NW

12. I love the truth and hate evil. Y – NW13. I protect the people I love. Y – NW14. I am a trusting person. Y – NW15. I am a hopeful person. Y – NW16. I am able to persevere even when my re-

lationships are making radical changes for whatever reasons. Y – NW

17. It is easy for me to share my feelings. Y – NW

18. It is easy for me to say, “I love you.” Y – NW

19. I am open to sug-gestions on how to improve myself and my relationships. Y – NW

So, how’d you do? Plenty of Ys or were there more NWs than you wanted? Did you notice the test had nothing to do with your mate, your children or your parents? It had to do with you. Here’s why: your ability to love does not depend on the lovability of others, it depends solely upon you.

Your “Kick in the Pants” for this week is this: Learn to love. Success and real happiness in life begins with the way you love others. It is one of the most important building blocks in all of life. Why? Because in every situation – love never fails!

Learn to Love

• On Oct. 13, 1775, the Con-tinental Con-gress authorizes construction and administration

of the first American naval force. Esek Hopkins was appointed the first commander-in-chief of the Continental Navy. His first fleet consisted of seven ships: two 24-gun frigates, two 14-gun brigs and three schooners.• On Oct. 12, 1786, a lovesick

Thomas Jefferson composes the first of many romantic letters to a married woman named Maria Cosway. In 1789, his letters grew less frequent. She continued to write to him and vented her frustration at his growing aloofness. After her husband died, Cosway moved to a village in Italy to open a convent school for girls.

• On Oct. 11, 1793, the death toll from a yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia hits 100. By the time it ended, 5,000 people were dead. A vac-cine prevents yellow fever in much of the world, though 20,000 people still die every year from the disease.

• On Oct. 14, 1944, German Gen. Erwin Rommel, nicknamed “the Desert Fox,” is given the option

of facing a public trial for treason, as a co-conspirator in the plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, or taking cyanide. He chose the latter. The German government gave Rom-mel a state funeral. His death was attributed to war wounds.• On Oct. 8, 1956, New York Yankees right-hander Don Larsen pitches the first no-hitter in the history of the World Series. Even

better, it was a perfect game -- that is, there were no runs, no hits and no errors, and no batter reached first base.

• On Oct. 10, 1985, the hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro reaches a dramatic climax when U.S. Navy F-14 fighters intercept an Egyptian airliner attempting to fly the Palestin-ian hijackers to freedom. On Oct. 7, four heavily armed terrorists had hijacked the Achille Lauro and 320 crewmembers and 80 passengers.

• On Oct. 9, 1992, a 28-pound bowling-ball-sized meteorite lands on an orange 1980 Chevy Mali-bu in Peekskill, N.Y. Scientists have determined that it came from the inner edge of the main asteroid belt in space, between Jupiter and Mars.
