There are many ways that different universities, media outlets and fans are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first college football game. The anniversary of the Rutgers-Princeton game in 1869 has been a focal point of the 2019 season.

One farm is celebrating the anniversary in a very unique fashion. Von Thun Farms in New Jersey has dedicated a corn maze to the celebration of the 150th year of college football, comlete with Rutgers and Princeton helmet designs.

Below is an image of the corn maze, which is six acres, shared by NJ Parenting on Twitter:

The farm is located less than 10 miles from both the Rutgers and Princeton campuses. With its unique location, it decided to do something special for the anniversary.

“Since our farm is less than 10 miles from both Rutgers and Princeton Universities, it seemed fitting for our 2019 corn maze to honor the two institutions that started this American tradition,” Timothy Von Thun told NJ.com.

Along with attempting to navigate their way through the maze, patrons will also have their college football knowledge tested with a series of questions throughout the maze.
