Here’s a question for you:
What do emojis, the U.S. military and the Women’s National Soccer Team have in common?
Answer: All three have been featured at halftime shows during the annual California Clasico at Stanford.
Since 2012, Stanford Stadium has been host to one epic #BeatLA matchup each year. The highly anticipated Clasicos at the Cardinal’s home have become known for their record turnouts, dramatic on-field moments, and memorable halftime shows.
As you would expect from a battle between two eternal rivals, the players pour their blood, sweat and tears every time they take the pitch to contest the Clasico, but there are others who sacrifice that and so much more for a bigger cause.
