Notable Bowl Games:
The Boston College Eagles are one of the most storied programs in college football. BC's program has a rich history of success that started back in 1893. Boston College games are played in their on-campus Alumni Stadium, which is an electric place to see a college football game. Over the course of their history BC's two major rivals have been Holy Cross and Notre Dame. Boston College's series with Holy Cross ended in 1986 when Holy Cross changed leagues and cancelled the series. But "The Holy War" between BC and Notre Dame lives each, as their two Catholic universities battle it out for bragging rights. The rivalry is especially fierce because Boston College and Notre Dame are the only two Catholic universities in the country that play Division I-A football.
Boston College plays their home games at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Alumni Stadium is a historic venue that has hosted BC home games since 1957. The capacity at Alumni Stadium for a Boston College football game is approximately 44,500 people. And you can bet that more than 40,000 of those fans will be screaming for the Eagles.
Boston College has played in the Atlantic Division of the ACC Conference since 2005. Prior to that BC was a member of the Big East Conference, but they moved to the ACC along with the University of Miami. BC's most famous football alumni is quarterback Doug Flutie. Flutie played at Boston College from 1981 to 1984 and won the Heisman Trophy in his final year. He's most known for the Hail Mary touchdown he completed in 1984 to beat Bernie Kosar and the Miami Hurricanes. That pass is one of the greatest in college football history, and the kind of play that typifies BC football.
