Latest Marquee Matchup Arrives

You can basically count the number of big Harvard sporting events on one hand, so when a highly anticipated game comes around, Harvard students jump on the opportunity to celebrate.

Tonight's men’s lacrosse game against Duke is one such event. As the No. 14 Crimson is getting ready to take on the No. 7 Blue Devils at 7 p.m., plenty of supporters will be getting ready to celebrate in the area surrounding Harvard Stadium.

There will be a large tailgate with free Redbones BBQ and Coca-Cola products for all of the Crimson fans, as well as quite a few smaller tailgates being put together by various groups on campus.

The current figurehead of Harvard sports enthusiasm, senior football player Cheng Ho, has been a huge part in spreading the word about tomorrow’s game. Ho helped to organize the Crimson crowd in hugely successful events at several of Harvard’s biggest basketball games this winter.

While Harvard’s policy about tailgating still holds strong (“Beer kegs and items that promote the rapid consumption of alcohol are not permitted at any University athletic function or event” and “grills using charcoal are prohibited within the athletic complex”), we have a feeling the Crimson crowd will still find a way to have a pretty good time.
