    In response to HARVARDDADGRAD

  • HARVARDDADGRAD Said:
Remove Penn and you're likely to draw 3,000 at the Palestra for the final. Remove Princeton as well and you could be down to 2,500. I think the Harvard-Yale playoff was an anomaly due to the rivalry, the competitiveness of the two teams, and Yale's historical failure to get to the tournament. I had no trouble getting tix for the Harvard vs Princeton playoff at Yale (2,800 capacity).




Maybe you're right. But the reality is that the 2015 H-Y game did, in fact, draw just fine.

My own gut is that H-Y would draw comparably if they reached the tournament game in Ivy Madness. A Harvard v. Yale game seems to be more of a social event than any other matchup in the league.

And before I hear protests from the Ps, how well would a Penn-Princeton game draw in Boston?
