Columbia maintains a football team as an excuse to remain in the very relevant athletic conference known as the Ivy League. The team plays its home games at the beautiful, bucolic, bilateral, urbane, multicultural, eleemosynary, yet still iconoclastic Lawrence A. Wein Stadium at Baker Field on 218th in the Inwood section of Manhattan. Columbia has a storied football history. One time, the team lost a record 44 games in a row. In 1968, possibly in an effort to bolster fan enthusiasm, the the players beat up on some hippies outside of Low Library. Heavily recruited football players sometimes come back to speak at Columbia College Class Day.
The football team is currently coached by Norries Wilson.
