The prestigious Stanford University (or simply Stanford), is a prominent private university which is situated nearly 37 miles southeast of San Francisco which is a part of Santa Clara County. Being adjacent to the famous city of Palo Alto, Stanford is located at the heart of the famous Silicon Valley in both geographically and even historically. Situated on a sprawling campus, the University is known to offer, in addition to its famed undergraduate college, numerous schools of engineering, law, along with various disciples like medicine, education, earth sciences, business and humanities and sciences. The Stanford University was founded by the famous railroad magnate and California Governor the charismatic Leland Stanford along with his wife, Jane Stanford.

It was named in honor of Leland Stanford, Jr., who died as a teenager. Apart from being a leader in education the University also boasts of some of the best athletic teams of the country. The athletic teams at the famed Stanford University are usually referred to as the Stanford Cardinal. The Stanford Cardinal is a prominent force in the NCAA Division and can easily be listed as having one of the best lineups. Many would argue that they are going to make a huge impact this season. So if you wish to catch the Cardinals in action; do remember to book your tickets online in advance.

During an 1891 Big Game win over Cal, the striking cardinal color was impulsively picked as the primary color to represent the Stanford's athletic teams. During the decade of the 70s, a number of good alternatives were suggested for representing the school mascot but they did not caught on to imagination of the authorities. In the year 1981, school President Donald Kennedy finally decided to accept Stanford Cardinal once for all as the official (also the exclusive) symbol for Stanford's different athletic teams. The splendid Stanford Stadium originally built in 1921 and is definitely among the nation’s highly treasured football stadiums. It is also the home to Stanford Cardinal football. Quite notably Stanford has a long and distinguished football history and has successfully produced 17 high quality first-round NFL draft picks. The highly skilled John Elway is possibly the most famous Stanford football alum besides the likes of John Brodie, Jim Plunkett and the talented James Lofton. Stanford current home schedule is expected to include several big games and the season is exciting to say the least.

The Standard Cardinals are looking forward to great new season, their fans expect the very best from them and the ticket sales of their matches are skyrocketing. So do get your tickets early and bring along your friends to enjoy some exciting games.
