00:03The Rose Bowl, 1922

00:06Built to replace Pasadena's smaller tournament park, the Rose Bowl opened with Cal shutting out USC 12 to nothing.

00:14It's hosted some of the sport's biggest moments ever since.

00:18First Bank Stadium, 1922

00:20Replacing Old Dudley Field, Vanderbilt's new 20,000-seat home was a show of Southeastern Conference strength at the time.

00:27Today, it's the smallest stadium in the conference at 41,000 seats.

00:33Ohio Stadium, 1922

00:36The Horseshoe opened to 25,000 fans, but its christening game drew over 72,000 for a matchup against Michigan.

00:44Now, it's one of the largest stadiums in the world.

00:48Stanford Stadium, 1921

00:50Unveiled during the big game against Cal, it originally seeded 60,000.

00:55Renovations have trimmed it to about 50,500, but the history remains huge.

01:02Nayland Stadium, 1921

01:04Once just a single 3,200-seat grandstand, Nayland now roars with over 101,000 Volunteers fans on game day.

01:13David Booth, Kansas Memorial Stadium, 1921

01:17Built to honor World War I soldiers, it opened with a Jayhawks win over Kansas State.

01:23Renovations will soon set its capacity at about 40,000.

01:27Husky Stadium, 1920

01:29First known as University of Washington Stadium, it began with 30,000 seats and has grown to host more than 70,000.

01:37Boone Pickens Stadium, 1919

01:40Oklahoma A&M moved its field here in 1919, adding seating a year later.

01:47Its east-west layout still challenges players with the sun.

01:51Camp Randall Stadium, 1917

01:53Built on the grounds of a Civil War training camp, it's grown from 12,000 seats to over 76,000.

01:59Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, 1915

02:03Started with federal funding and 24,000 seats, it's expanded to over 64,000.
