The colleges and universities on the East Coast tend to have longer legacies than others, which is perhaps why they also
feature some of the top sports rivalries. The football matchup between Yale and Harvard is simply known as The Game. The
2010 Game featured a win by Harvard, continuing their winning streak, but it could be anyone's game in 2011.
Harvard and Yale have one of the longest histories in NCAA
football. The history of The Game rivalry dates all the way back to 1875. Even though the series has gone on for well
over a century, it has remained close over the years. The bragging rights that come with winning The Game keep the rivalry
exciting every season.
The Harvard Crimson and the Yale Bulldogs both play at two of the most storied stadiums in NCAA football. Harvard's home
is Harvard Stadium, which has been the home of the Crimson since 1903. The Bulldogs play at the Yale Bowl, which has been opened since 1914. Both provide amazing atmosphere
for the Yale v Harvard rivalry.
Once you have experienced your first The Game rivalry, you will understand why both Harvard fans and Yale fans make a point
of clearing their schedules to be a part of this game. The fan passion at this game is one of the reasons that fans come back
year after year. Because of this, make sure to book your sports
tickets early for The Game.
