'Big Game' Between Cal and Stanford Rescheduled as Wildfires Continue to Affect Air Quality
Due to poor air quality in the Bay Area, the 121st Big Game between Cal and Stanford has been rescheduled for Saturday, Dec. 1 at California Memorial Stadium, the team announced. The rivals were slated to play Saturday, Nov. 17 in Berkeley. The rescheduled game will kickoff at 9 a.m. ET.
"While we would have preferred to play the Big Game on its scheduled date, once we realized that air quality would likely not return to acceptable levels, we made the decision to postpone for the health and safety of our student-athletes, coaches, gameday staff, students, band and spirit groups, alumni and fans," Cal athletic director Jim Knowlton said in a statement.
