RICE
Nestled on 300 acres in the shadow
of the world's largest medical complex and just moments away from the thriving heart of
downtown Houston, Rice University is a beacon of educational excellence. The Rice
Institute opened on September 23, 1912 with 77 beginning students and a dozen faculty.
Rice Stadium has been the scene of
many exciting moments in the football histories of Rice, the city of Houston and the
National Football League.On Jan. 13, 1974, Rice Stadium was the site of Super Bowl VIII,
in which the Miami Dolphins defeated the Minnesota Vikings 24-7. The stadium seats 70,000
fans, a tribute to a university with an overall enrollment of 4,320.
Rice fans start rooting at an early
age.
Sammy the Owl.
The "Spirit Line" has
been a long time tradition where fans can come join in the festivities as the Rice Owls
run onto the field.
