Description:

Football fans everywhere are indebted to Yale coach Walter Camp for his 1879 codifying of American football as we know and love it today. Yale's Bulldogs play against other Ivy League teams from September to November, and, in alternate years, the renowned Harvard-Yale game attracts audiences and fans from afar. This is a big sporting event in New Haven and if you have the chance to catch a game, it is well worth it. Tailgate parties start the festivities prior to the match, so grab a picnic lunch and party in the parking lot before the big event. Games are played at Yale Bowl on Derby Avenue.

Ivy football in a classic stadium

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/20/05

The classic beauty of Yale Bowl makes a visit to a home Yale game worthwhile no matter what the outcome. It was built in 1914 and currently accomodates 64,000 fans. Yale University has a long football history--many of the rules of modern football--including the forward pass--were drawn up by Yale's Walter Camp early last century. Yale will never be a football factory, but it has sent a number of top-notch players to the NFL over the years, including tight end Eric Johnson who plays for the San Francisco 49ers.
