East-West Shrine Game, Robertson Stadium: In Europe, they call soccer “football”. Here, we call it soccer, and Houston’s team plays at Robertson Stadium. But this is American football at Robertson. That’s clear, right? If you’re not quite ready to let the college season end, here’s your last chance to catch a game until next August. This is the nation’s oldest college football All-Star game.
