Football Opponents Over Time

This map shows the locations of every opponent Carleton has faced since 1924. Every 5 years, new points are added to the map based on the year that Carleton first played that school. The time slider can auto advance, but it can also be paused and moved forward or backward as desired. Clicking on a point shows the school’s name, the number of times Carleton has played against that school, the dates of the first and last games played against that team, and the latitude and longitude coordinates of the school.

This map shows how the majority of Carleton’s opponents are from the midwest, especially in the earlier years of the program’s history. As time goes on, you can see how schools continue to be added to Carleton’s growing list of opponents. As time goes on, there are also more schools that are located farther away from Carleton that begin to populate the map. For example, Carleton played Pomona-Pitzer, a team based in California, in 2023. Who knows who we will play next year!
