Subject: Re: Clarification... Author: Ivy wanna be [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:08:32 09/24/25 Wed In reply to: Go Green 's message, "Clarification..." on 05:12:27 09/24/25 Wed I’ve been going to these games since 1967, the numbers weren’t inflated, Yale had a great following. People would come from all parts of Connecticut and New York. Yale had an easy inviting aura . If you wanted to go tailgate, you got a rubber stamp. To come back in. You could bring in your own food subs, pizza, binoculars. Now if you leave no entry. I hear it all the time, this isn’t fun to watch a game because of the restrictions. That Chun has implemented. Yale is lucky if they have 2,000 to 5,000 on good day . Instead of the 7,000 to 12,000 per Beckett’s era. That is FACT.!! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Author: Eli1143770312 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:17:02 09/24/25 Wed I’m responsible for this conversation veering off into a Beckett v Chun conversation (among Yalies, presumably). While I bristle at the notion of looking back to some golden age under Beckett (although things picked up at the tail end of his tenure), I’m not carrying water for Chun either. I’ve attended Yale football games back to the pre-Cozza era and it is 100% correct that football attendance has dropped steadily for 50+ years. Part of that is outside of the control of any administrator, but Yale does virtually nothing in terms of promotion to sell tickets and then it makes the experience at the Bowl unpleasant. Others have mentioned the ridiculous policy of blocking reentry if you return to your car. They also prevent any food or drinks from being brought in although they post signs saying otherwise. And Yale completely mismanages parking for the only time there is a big crowd, for Harvard biannually. I bought tickets from Harvard last year for The Game in Boston and have gotten on the Crimson promotion distribution list ever since. They appear to be doing quite a good job; I’ll be interested to see if Harvard attendance picks up as a result. I wish Yale would try to learn some lessons from the “Team from the North.”
