Cal vs. Hawaii
Where: ANZ Stadium, Sydney
When: 9 p.m. Friday
TV/Radio: ESPN, Sirius XM Channel 84
But for the Cal football team, its trip to Australia for the College Football Sydney Cup has been relatively smooth sailing.
And now, the Bears are ready to open their season on a global stage, bringing some American collegiate spirit Down Under. A crowd of 60,000 is expected at ANZ Stadium when Cal kicks off against Hawaii on Friday night — Saturday afternoon, Sydney time — in the host country’s first college football game in nearly 30 years.
“You don’t want to play in front of 15 people, you want to play in front of 15 million people,” said Cal quarterback Davis Webb. “So I’m excited for the venue, I’m excited to embrace the culture that is here and see how the fans react to touchdowns and big plays....
“I don’t think they know where Berkeley, California, is, but they know what college football is. And every time we have our sweats on walking around the city, they’re always saying, ‘Good luck on Saturday’ or ‘We’ll be there,’ or ‘Really excited you guys are here.’”
