Be in 'The Play'

BERKELEY - On November 20, 1982, within the confines of California Memorial Stadium, thousands of Cal fans witnessed one of the most historic plays in all of sports history, simply known as 'The Play' as Cal defeated Stanford 25-20 in the Big Game. The final kickoff play consisted of a 57-yard return and featured five laterals ... and the Stanford Band.

Now Cal fans can be a part of the history and share the experience with friends at Beintheplay.com.

Fans are encouraged to upload a photo and see themselves cheering the Golden Bears onto victory during 'The Play.' Fans can also upload a friend's photo onto the Stanford Band member who was on the receiving end of Kevin Moen's touchdown celebration.
