Even after the emergence of the professional National Football League (NFL), college football remained extremely popular throughout the U.S. 
Although the college game has a much larger margin for talent than its pro counterpart, the sheer number of fans following major colleges provides a financial equalizer for the game, with Division I programs  the highest level  playing in huge stadiums, six of which have seating capacity exceeding 100,000. In many cases, college stadiums employ bench-style seating, as opposed to individual seats with backs and arm rests. This allows them to seat more fans in a given amount of space than the typical professional stadium, which tends to have more features and comforts for fans. (Only two stadiums owned by U.S. colleges or universities  Papa John's Cardinal Stadium at the University of Louisville and FAU Stadium at Florida Atlantic University  consist entirely of chairback seating.), Oregon State University (OSU) is a coeducational, public research university in the northwest United States, located in Corvallis, Oregon. The university offers more than 200 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree programs and has the largest total enrollment in Oregon. More than 230,000 people have graduated from OSU since its founding. The Carnegie Foundation designates Oregon State University as a "Community Engagement" university and classifies it as a doctoral university with a "Highest research activity" status along with another 114 top U.S. academic institutions., Seating capacity is the number of people who can be seated in a specific space, in terms of both the physical space available, and limitations set by law. Seating capacity can be used in the description of anything ranging from an automobile that seats two to a stadium that seats hundreds of thousands of people. The largest sporting venue in the world, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, has a permanent seating capacity for more than 235,000 people and infield seating that raises capacity to an approximate 400,000., The Oregon State Beavers football team represents Oregon State University in NCAA Division I FBS college football.

Opened 105 years ago in 1910 , Bell Field had a seating capacity of 21,000 at its peak and was named after J.R.N. `` Doc '' Bell , an early supporter of the college and its athletic teams . With a conventional north - south orientation , its low - profile seating was mostly covered in a horseshoe configuration , opening to the north , at an elevation of 230 feet ( 70 m ) above sea level . After Parker Stadium opened , most of the seating was removed , but it hosted the school 's track and field program on a cinder track until March 1974 , after which it was torn down . It was located directly west of the baseball field ( today 's Goss Stadium at Coleman Field ) and parallel to its first base line . The Dixon Recreation Center , opened in 1976 , occupies the site . A natural grass field for football was first installed at Bell Field in 1937 ; the surface was previously a mixture of dirt and sawdust . That field surface was not unique in the Northwest in the Pacific Coast Conference : Hayward Field in Eugene , Multnomah Stadium in Portland , and Husky Stadium in Seattle made similar transitions to natural grass in this period of time . In the early 1950s , Oregon State played most of its home football games at Multnomah Stadium in Portland . The final varsity game at Bell Field was the only game on campus in 1952 , a 27 -- 6 homecoming loss to conference foe Idaho on November 15 , with an approximate attendance of 8,000 . The Beavers sole win in the Pacific Coast Conference that season was in the Civil War game in Portland . The only game in 1953 in Corvallis was the opener for Parker Stadium in November ., In the United States, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is a geographical region with a relatively high population density at its core and close economic ties throughout the area. Such regions are neither legally incorporated as a city or town would be, nor are they legal administrative divisions like counties or separate entities such as states. As such, the precise definition of any given metropolitan area can vary with the source. A typical metropolitan area is centered on a single large city that wields substantial influence over the region (e.g., Chicago or Atlanta). However, some metropolitan areas contain more than one large city with no single municipality holding a substantially dominant position (e.g., DallasFort Worth metroplex, Norfolk-Virginia Beach (Hampton Roads), RiversideSan Bernardino (Inland Empire) or MinneapolisSaint Paul)., A county seat is an administrative center, seat of government, or capital city of a county or civil parish. The term is used in the United States, Canada, Romania, China and Taiwan. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, county towns have a similar function., Subject: bell field, Relation: operator, Options: (A) atlanta (B) canada (C) florida atlantic university (D) gary (E) indianapolis (F) oregon state university (G) portland (H) southern (I) united kingdom (J) university of louisville (K) university of utah
