7 College Stadiums That Are Secretly Built on Historic Battlegrounds

The College of William & Mary's Zable Stadium

Zable Stadium at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, is situated in a region rich with Revolutionary War history. The college itself served as a hospital for both American and British troops during the war, and the surrounding area saw several skirmishes. The Siege of Yorktown, the war's final major battle, took place just miles away. This proximity to such a crucial historical event imbues the stadium with a sense of historical gravity, linking the college's athletic pursuits with the broader narrative of America's struggle for independence and the birth of a new nation.
