Fans enjoy Cambridge Football Day
Harvard welcomed many football-loving residents of Cambridge on Saturday (Oct. 17) to its annual Cambridge Football Day, with free food and tickets to the Harvard-Lafayette game for all community members who attended.
From the “Fan Zone” to the game itself, it was a fine opportunity to enjoy a day of football, and although the Crimson suffered a tough 35-18 loss to Lafayette, their Cambridge fans rooted them on and made the most of a day in the sun. More than 7,000 fans came out to the Harvard Stadium to show their support.
