History
Named for Colonel George C. Edwards, one of the "Twelve Apostles" from Cal's first graduating class of 1873, who became a math professor the following year and remained at Berkeley for the next four decades. The 22,000 seat stadium is home field for Cal's soccer and track and field teams, and has witnessed dozens of world and American records, including history's first 15 foot pole vault. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
