Oneida Football Club Monument

The Oneida Football Club Monument, sometimes called Football Tablet, is a monument made by Joseph Coletti; which was installed on the Boston Common, in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

[2][3] The team, made up of students of Boston's elite preparatory schools, played on Boston Common from 1862 to 1865, during which time they reportedly never lost a game or even gave up a single point.

[4][5] The marble table was donated by seven members of the Oneida Football Club and installed in 1925.

[6][4] The monument was unveiled on Saturday November 21, 1925, and was attended by the six surviving members of the team including its founder and captain Gerritt Smith Miller.

[4] It was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!"
