HISTORY OF FOOTBALL AT YANKEE STADIUM

To call it a baseball stadium is acknowledging only a small part of its history. Yankee Stadium is a cultural icon whose legacy is as rich as its character and whose history is as striking as its iconic frieze. It is a living museum, resurrecting memories of the past while continuing to serve as a stage for present and future events.

Dating back to Syracuse’s 3-0 victory over Pittsburgh on October 20, 1923, the original Yankee Stadium hosted 185 collegiate football games, and served as the home of the New York Giants from 1956 to 1973. Notable games include:

The NFL Championship Game on Dec. 28, 1958, between the New York Giants and Baltimore Colts was the first NFL game to go into sudden death overtime. The Colts won, 23-17, in what is widely regarded as “The Greatest Game Ever Played.” A national television audience saw Colts receiver Raymond Berry catch 12 passes (a championship game record) for 178 yards and a score in a game that signaled the beginning of the NFL’s surge in popularity.

George “The Gipper” Gipp was a first-team All-American at Notre Dame before dying at the age of 25 of streptococcal throat infection just days after leading Notre Dame to a win over Northwestern in 1920. While in his hospital bed he received a visit from Coach Knute Rockne. At halftime of a scoreless game against Army on Nov. 10, 1928, Rockne urged his squad to win it for Gipp, inspiring the Irish to a 12-6 win at Yankee Stadium.

Guard Jerry Kramer’s three field goals led the Packers to a 16-7 win over the Giants in what proved to be Yankee Stadium’s final NFL Championship Game on December 30, 1962. A crowd of 64,892 attended a game played in 13-degree temperatures with 40 mile per hour winds.

Second-ranked Notre Dame and top-ranked Army played perhaps the most thrilling contest of their historic rivalry on November 9, 1946, at Yankee Stadium, a 0-0 tie made legendary by John Lujack’s well-chronicled saving tackle of Cadet star running back Doc Blanchard late in the game.

HISTORY OF FOOTBALL AT YANKEE STADIUM

REIGNIT ING GRIDIRON GREATNESS NOVEMBER 20 , 2010

The first game held in the current Yankee Stadium marked the intersection of rich traditions at a historic address, as Notre Dame hosted Army on November 20, 2010, in the schools’ 50th meeting.

“It’s an honor and a pleasure that the tradition will be brought across the street to this brand new facility that we’re very proud of,” said Yankees managing general partner/co-chairperson Hal Steinbrenner.

1947 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Johnny Lujack served as the honorary captain for Notre Dame, while 1958 Heisman winner Pete Dawkins represented Army in the same role.

The Fighting Irish compiled 369 yards of total offense in a 27-3 rout of the Black Knights. Freshman Tommy Rees, who had the privilege of using Derek Jeter’s locker, threw for 214 yards in his second career start.

54,251 fans were on hand to witness the return of college football in the Bronx, which currently holds the record for the largest crowd at the 8-year-old ballpark. “Well, New York is a lot of things,” Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly said following the game. “And what it was tonight was a college football town.”

EMOTIONAL REUNIONNOVEMBER 12 , 2011

The visiting Scarlet Knights’ 27-12 victory in front of 30,028 fans was an important one to their postseason aspirations, but their long-awaited return to Yankee Stadium will be remembered as much for the emotional scene prior to kickoff.

The game was the first meeting between Rutgers and Army since Oct. 16, 2010, when RU’s Eric LeGrand suffered a severe spinal injury while tackling Army’s Malcolm Brown on a kickoff return at the new Meadowlands (now MetLife) Stadium. The two young men’s lives became forever linked from that day forward as they helped each other recover from the collision, which left LeGrand paralyzed and Brown wracked with guilt.

Living testaments to the power of positive thinking, LeGrand, with the aid of a motorized wheelchair, and Brown met at midfield for opening coin toss. Flashing his ever-present smile, LeGrand later told reporters that he felt like strapping on a helmet at that moment and heading out for kickoff.

“It’s been a rough year, but it’s probably been the best year of my life because of how many people I have been able to touch,” LeGrand said. “Just imagine if I was negative throughout this whole thing. Nobody would know who I was; nobody would be inspired by my whole story.”

Rutgers junior wide receiver Mohamed Sanu said he was “a little teary-eyed” and “very emotional” seeing his former teammate on the field. With Yankees manager Joe Girardi looking on from the sideline, Sanu responded with a record performance in which he hauled in 13 passes for 129 yards. Sanu’s 94 receptions on the season topped Kenny Britt’s school record of 87, set in 2008, as well as Larry Fitzgerald’s Big East record of 92, set in 2003.

Yet with Rutgers — predicted to finish last in the Big East in a preseason media poll — creeping closer to first place, Sanu said he would trade his records in a heartbeat for a shot at a conference crown.

RU’s seventh win of the season did not come easy. Larry Dixon’s 2-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter brought the Black Knights to within one, 13-12. But the potential game-tying point-after attempt failed, and Rutgers extended its lead after Jordan Thomas returned a blocked punt 32 yards for a touchdown with 6:36 remaining. Jawan Jamison capped off the scoring with a 56-yard touchdown run with under two minutes to go, sealing the Scarlet Knights’ victory.

ARMY v s . UCONNNOVEMBER 8 , 2014

The Army Black Knights have played more games at Yankee Stadium than any other active college football program, beginning with a 27-0 victory over Notre Dame in 1925 and stretching all the way to a 35-21 triumph over Connecticut on Nov. 8, 2014. The most recent contest marked Army’s third appearance at the new Stadium since it opened in 2009.

Down 28-14 with 4:22 to go in the fourth quarter, UConn drove 68 yards on eight plays to the end zone to cut the Army lead to seven. The Huskies recovered the ensuing onside kick and reached the Black Knights’ 6-yard line when Chris Carnegie intercepted his second pass of the game and returned it 99 yards for a touchdown.

“We’re going to enjoy it — standing out there singing ‘New York, New York’ with Frank Sinatra,” said Army head coach Jeff Monken.

Army held the ball for more than 34 minutes and rushed for 327 yards, led by quarterback Angel Santiago’s 97 yards and two touchdowns.

Despite the defeat, UConn head coach Bob Diaco said the experience was still a positive one.

“It was an incredible lesson for our team to play in this spectacular venue and this incredible game against one of the most prestigious football programs that ever played football,” he said.

LAFAYETTE v s . LEHIGHNOVEMBER 22 , 2014

The Lehigh-Lafayette football game is always a highlight of the Patriot League schedule, but in 2014, the two schools ramped up the excitement even higher. To celebrate their 150th meeting, the Mountain Hawks and Leopards squared off at Yankee Stadium on November 22, 2014, with Lafayette rolling to a 27-7 victory in front of a sellout crowd.

“This had to be the biggest event for both schools,” Lafayette head coach Frank Tavani said. “To have the opportunity to get on the national stage and have people understand that college’s most-played rivalry is Lafayette-Lehigh — and there’s not a better college football game year in, year out — this is where you needed to be today.”

Ross Scheuerman ran for 304 yards and three touchdowns on 45 carries for Lafayette, establishing a new school record. It was an absolutely dominant performance on the ground; in the first half alone, Scheuerman racked up 209 yards.

Scheuerman’s heroics were the biggest on-field story, but the historic matchup was a thrill for everyone involved.

“I told our kids before the game that they were going to have a great memory just by being here and having an opportunity to play in Yankee Stadium,” said Lehigh head coach Andy Coen. “Unfortunately we didn’t get the win, but these guys are going to be able to tell their grandkids about this.”

HOLY CROSS vs. FORDHAMNOVEMBER 12 , 2016

In their first game at Yankee Stadium in 70 years, the Fordham Rams ruled the gridiron, defeating Holy Cross, 54-14, in the 31st Ram-Crusader Cup on Nov. 12, 2016.

Fordham’s fast-paced attack was too much for the Crusaders defense to handle. In a flurry of air and ground assaults, the Rams built a 40-7 lead by the end of the first half.

Rams quarterback Kevin Anderson and running back Chase Edmonds were the catalysts in the scoring barrage, helping lead the Fordham offense to 608 total yards. Anderson passed for 426 yards and three touchdowns, while Edmonds found the end zone four times on the ground, picking up 119 yards along the way. His third touchdown of the contest was also the 58th of his career, a new Patriot League record for the junior.

Although Crusaders quarterback Geoff Wade had a good game from the pocket — 307 yards passing and one touchdown — Holy Cross struggled throughout. The Crusaders ran for minus-5 yards on 19 attempts and picked up just 11 first downs in the game.

In the history of the Cup, which began being played annually in 1990, Fordham leads the series, 16-15, and the Rams have won the last five meetings. But in the all-time matchups between the two schools, which dates back to 1902, Holy Cross holds a slight edge, 27–25–2.

GAME ON On Sept. 30, 2009, dozens of newspaper reporters and television crews filled the press conference room on the basement level of Yankee Stadium. Yankees managing general partner/co-chairperson Hal Steinbrenner was set to make a major announcement, one that had nothing to do with the baseball team in pursuit of its 27th world championship.

Flanked by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., Yankees president Randy Levine, Yankees COO Lonn Trost and a host of other dignitaries, Steinbrenner stepped up to the podium and addressed the assembled media.

“This is a great day for New York City and the Bronx as we bring a premier college football bowl game to Yankee Stadium,” he said.

The announcement that the Big 12 and the Big East would be facing off at Yankee Stadium caused an immediate stir. The Yankees had made it well known that it was their intention to host a wide variety of events at their newly constructed home. But the formation of a brand-new bowl game, to be played in the Bronx? Few saw that coming.

“Over the last several years, we’ve targeted events that might seem unconventional to New York City, like the Country Music [Association] Awards or NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Champions Week,” Mayor Bloomberg said. “This will give us a chance to introduce New York City to thousands of new visitors, including college students and football fans from the South, East and Midwest.”

The excitement grew over the ensuing months as more details emerged. On March 9, 2010, officials unveiled the game name — the New Era Pinstripe Bowl — and revealed that it would be televised nationally on ESPN. And, on April 22, the NCAA Football Issues Committee granted an unprecedented four-year license, the first time the committee licensed a bowl on a four-year cycle instead of the traditional yearly basis.

“We could not be more excited about bringing this premier college football bowl game to Yankee Stadium and the Bronx,” Levine said. “The pageantry and tradition of college football belongs in Yankee Stadium and New York City.”

NEW ERA PINSTRIPE BOWL HISTORY

2010THRILLER IN THE CHILLER

When the New York Yankees conceived the current Yankee Stadium, they envisioned it not only as the grandest stage in baseball, but as a venue hosting a wide spectrum of special events, such as concerts, boxing matches, international soccer exhibitions and college football games.

The latter came to fruition in a big way with the inaugural New Era Pinstripe Bowl on December 30, 2010, which saw Syracuse defeat Kansas State in a thrilling 36-34 finish. The game marked the first bowl game in the Northeast since 1981. Despite freezing temperatures and the aftermath of the sixth-worst blizzard in New York City’s recorded history, which dumped nearly 2 feet of snow on the Big Apple earlier in the week, there was no lack of enthusiasm from the 38,274 fans on hand.

Despite a passionate audience, the most inner pride may have been felt by Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone. Having grown up in the Bronx, the lifelong Yankees fan was overwhelmed after capturing the 2010 New Era Pinstripe Bowl George M. Steinbrenner Trophy, saying, “There was a moment out there tonight where I truly almost did break down and go to my knees. It truly is a dream come true for me.”

Running back Delone Carter was named MVP after rumbling for a career-high 198 yards and two touchdowns in his final collegiate game.

2011 SCARLET NIGHT

From the exciting action on the field to the 38,328 fans that passed through the turnstiles to the incredible week of events leading up to it, Rutgers’ 27-13 victory over Iowa State in the second annual New Era Pinstripe Bowl proved that this game is here to stay.

“The whole idea of this experience is to show the student-athletes and everybody from these great universities what New York City is about and what Yankee Stadium is about,” said Yankees president Randy Levine. “They will tell their kids and grandkids, ‘We played at Yankee Stadium.’”

Rutgers trailed 6-0 after one quarter, but redshirt freshman running back Jawan Jamison, the eventual winner of the 2011 New Era Pinstripe Bowl David C. Koch MVP Trophy, scored two second-quarter touchdowns as the Scarlet Knights took a 17-6 lead into halftime. A 20-yard touchdown run by Iowa State running back Jeff Woody brought ISU to within a score, 20-13, in the fourth, but Rutgers responded with its biggest play of the game, an 86-yard touchdown strike from Chas Dodd to Brandon Coleman that sealed the victory.

2012 ORANGE CRUSH

Prior to the 2012 New Era Pinstripe Bowl, Syracuse head coach Doug Marrone sat in the press conference room at Yankee Stadium and told the assembled media why he felt the game was so important. “To the right of us here is the (George M.) Steinbrenner Trophy,” the Bronx native said. “That’s why both teams are here, and that’s what we’re playing for.”

Marrone got his wish on Dec. 29, when his Syracuse Orange defeated the West Virginia Mountaineers, 38-14. Despite a winter storm, Syracuse piled up 369 yards on the ground en route to its second New Era Pinstripe Bowl title in three years.

“You know, it’s special,” Marrone said. “Winning the second one, this has been a special place for all of us. It’s always been a special place for me.” MVP: RB PRINCE-TYSON GULLEY

2013 IRISH COME TO NEW YORK CITY

Two historic football programs, two hearty fan bases, an iconic venue and even some sunny weather all converged to create the perfect recipe for Yankee Stadium’s fourth annual New Era Pinstripe Bowl. A record 47,122 fans — the first sellout in the game’s history — saw Notre Dame pull away late for a 29-16 victory over Rutgers. In addition, 4.8 million viewers tuned in to watch the game on ESPN. The final “all-in” national rating of 3.2 ranked third among the 23 bowl games player prior to New Year’s Day, and 11th overall.

On the 55th anniversary of “The Greatest Game Ever Played”— the Baltimore Colts’ overtime victory against the New York Giants at Yankee Stadium for the 1958 NFL championship — Notre Dame improved to 17-6-3 all time in the Bronx.

“The New Era Pinstripe Bowl has been a phenomenal success, both for the city and for the Yankees and the universities,” said Yankees president Randy Levine following the game. “We’ve had record sponsorship sales, record marketing agreements. This game has been a complete, 100 percent outstanding success.”

DECEMBER 27 , 2014

Beginning in 2014, the New Era Pinstripe Bowl aligned with one team from the Atlantic Coast Conference and one team from the Big Ten Conference. The New York Yankees and the New Era Pinstripe Bowl agreed to a six-year affiliation with the ACC and an eight-year affiliation with the Big Ten. The conferences will be represented in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl through 2019 and 2021, respectively, and have a significant branding presence in Yankee Stadium during the regular baseball season.

“The addition of the ACC to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, along with the Big Ten, will provide an annual matchup of some of college football’s top-tier programs,” said Yankees managing general partner/co-chairperson Hal Steinbrenner.

The partnership between the Yankees and the two conferences surely would have pleased late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who was a staunch supporter of college football.

“This will be a great opportunity for our fans and alums to connect in the media capital of the world and with one of the most storied and successful franchises in sports,” said ACC commissioner John Swofford.

Big Ten commissioner James E. Delany said the agreement to participate in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl was a natural fit. “By agreeing to an eight-year partnership, it increases the likelihood that most of the Big Ten schools will have the opportunity to participate in the game,” Delany said, “while giving our coaches, student-athletes, administrators and fans the opportunity to experience the nation’s biggest metropolis and an iconic setting like Yankee Stadium.”

2014 FICKEN’S “WALK-OFF” PAT ENDS OVERTIME THRILLER

Three months after Derek Jeter’s game-winning hit in his final Yankee Stadium at-bat, Sam Ficken delivered a walk-off of his own in the 2014 New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

Penn State’s senior placekicker — a team captain who dressed in Jeter’s locker — booted an extra point in overtime that iced a 31-30 victory over Boston College and sent the Nittany Lions and their rabid white-and-navy-clad fans into an utter frenzy.

“It was a football stadium tonight, and an awesome one,” Penn State head coach James Franklin said. “We loved it.”

After the kick sailed through the uprights and into the netting in front of Monument Park, Ficken and his delirious teammates sprinted across the field, leaping onto the roof of the Yankees dugout to celebrate with Nittany Lions rooters before taking a victory lap around the warning track in right field.

“That was pretty sweet,” said All-American senior linebacker Mike Hull. “A bunch of guys before the game said that if we won, they were going to do that. So I guess that was their way of celebrating.”

The sellout marked the first installment of the Big Ten-ACC New Era Pinstripe Bowl matchup that is slated to run through at least 2019, and drew the largest crowd (49,012) in the bowl’s five-year history.

2015BLUE DEVILS END

BOWL DROUGHT WITH MEMORABLE OVERTIME WIN

For Duke’s seniors, the 2015 New Era Pinstripe Bowl was their final chance to make history. They made sure to seize the opportunity.

Duke was outgained 389-163 through the air but made a number of big plays on special teams, including Shaun Wilson’s 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, to fend off Indiana 44-41 in overtime in the sixth annual New Era Pinstripe Bowl. It was Duke’s first bowl victory since the 1961 Cotton Bowl.

“I’m excited for our program and what we accomplished as a team,” said Duke quarterback Thomas Sirk, who shared co-MVP honors with Wilson. “I feel like I’m on top of the world, and this team is on top of the world.”

For the second straight year, Yankee Stadium hosted an ACC-Big Ten matchup that required overtime to decide a victor. The 37,218 fans in attendance witnessed the second-most exciting game of the 2015-16 bowl season according to CBSsports.com.

After Duke senior kicker Ross Martin booted the go-ahead field goal in overtime, Indiana kicker Griffin Oakes attempted a game-tying 38-yarder on the ensuing possession. His kick sailed over the top of the right upright and was ruled wide, giving the Blue Devils the victory after bowl losses in each of the three previous seasons.

“It was just a phenomenal venue,” said Martin. “That was an awesome way to end my career here.”

2016 PURPLE REIGNS SUPREME AS

WILDCATS STAVE OFF PANTHERS

With George Steinbrenner listed among its former coaches and Joe Girardi one of its most notable alumni, Northwestern felt right at home in Yankee Stadium, topping 23rd-ranked Pittsburgh, 31-24, in the seventh annual New Era Pinstripe Bowl.

The significance of the venue was not lost on Wildcats running back Justin Jackson, who joked afterward about using the same urinals that Derek Jeter once used.

“It was pretty surreal,” said Jackson, who took home the David C. Koch MVP Trophy after rumbling for 224 yards and three scores. “Great players have went through here. It’s just cool to be in the home locker room and to get a win in Yankee Stadium.”

To hoist the George M. Steinbrenner III Championship Trophy, Northwestern had to overcome a potent Panthers offense that scored 76 points in its regular season finale and knocked off eventual national champion Clemson on Nov. 12. Losing star running back James Conner, who missed the second half after suffering a blow to the head, hurt Pitt’s chances, but the Panthers nonetheless found themselves holding on to a 24-21 fourth-quarter lead before Northwestern scored 10 unanswered points and Kyle Queiro made a late interception to seal the victory.

“[I’ve] been to a lot of bowl games — there’s something special about being in New York City for the holidays,” said Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald. “We’re honored to be the New Era Pinstripe Bowl champions and send our seniors out the right way.”
