"The Game" 2018 Sold Out After four days

[Go Green]

Per several outlets, the Harvard-Yale game in November (being played at Fenway Park) sold out a mere four days after tickets were made available.

Impressive.

Wow. Considering that the popularity of Ivy football has a whole has gone down over the past few decades...

Planning a trip to New Haven this Fall to catch Mercer @ Yale. Should we be expecting a similar sellout of all 62,246 seats at the Yale Bowl?

No. Assuming good weather, I'd place the over/under for that game's attendance at 12,000.

Have fun!!!

Go Green is right. Sorry to burst your bubble. However, I'll take the over assuming good weather. Regardless of attendance, it will still be a great day game atmosphere. Looking forward to welcoming Mercer to New Haven. Don't forget to visit Pepe's or Sally's for the best pizza in the country. If you like beer go to The Hops Company in nearby Derby, Ct. It's a beer garden and just a 10 minute drive from the Yale Bowl.

I wouldn't worry too much about tickets being available. 10K if the weather is nice, 2k if it rains.

What would you guess you get for a crowd when Maine plays you guys on 9/29? Maine should bring a decent crowd as we have a large percentage of players from the NY/NJ area as well as a lot if alumni in the area. Also no start time for the game would you guess a 1pm kickoff as well?

That game is slated to be "Youth Day" which usually draws in the low to mid teens. Plus it will be the first home game of the year. If the weather is good I think 15,000. I will say start time will definitely be 1:00.

15k is a long shot. Possible if Maine really travels well, but probably too early in the season. Fair weather Yale fans will want to see what kind of a team Yale has before showing up for games. Good weather = 10-12k. I hope Son of Eli is right and I'm wrong.

Did you know that Maine was the 2nd opponent ever to play in the Bowl. The first game in the Bowl was against Harvard to end the 1914 season. The second game in the Bowl was against Maine to open the 1915 season.
