The first American collegiate game of football was played in 1869 in New Brunswick, New Jersey by Rutgers College and Princeton University. Rutgers won this game. From that point on American football has become a billion dollar collegiate and professional sport. This not to be confused by the world's game of football which is called soccer in America.
