The Columbia Lions football program is the intercollegiate American football team for Columbia University located in the U.S. state of New York. The team competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and are members of the Ivy League. Columbia played in what is generally regarded as the fourth college football game in November 1870. The team plays its home games at the 17,000 seat Wien Stadium in Manhattan, New York. The Lions are coached by Pete Mangurian.
History
The beginning (1870-1900)
Sometime in early November 1870 - while November 12th is most cited, others claim November 5 or 11th - Columbia's intercollegiate football journey began with a short trip to New Brunswick, NJ to play Rutgers. Perhaps befitting the team that would one day own the NCAA Division 1 record for futility, they lost 3-6 in the first college football game between schools from different states.
