Harvard Stadium was the first permanent stadium for American intercollegiate athletics. When colleges were discussing how to make the game of football less bloody, Harvard Stadium's permanence ensured that the field would not be widened so as to spread out the game and lessen the danger. Instead, the forward pass was legalized. The stadium was also the first massive reinforced concrete structure in the world. Indeed, many were sure at the time of construction that the stadium would not survive the winter. It has survived over a hundred winters so far.
