Dates Win in New Seating Program

Harvard Stadium: Girls & Boys Together

Women will get their first chance to view a Harvard Stadium football game from the 50 yard line on October 2, when the Crimson meets Columbia. Previously, Harvard men who wanted to bring dates had to turn in their single tickets in the cheering sections (sections 33 and 34) for a pair of tickets either in section 35, 36, or 37 or in the colonnade (now marked for overflow freshmen and graduate students). This year, for the first time, Harvard undergraduates, with or without female companions, will be seated according to their academic class. The above diagram is HAA director William J. Bingham's best guess as to how the new seating plan will work out. If any one class takes up less space than anticipated, however, the lower classes will move up accordingly. The top part of the stands, marked on the map for overflow Freshmen and graduate students, is the colonnade, where large pillars block off sections of the field. Bingham said that unlucky Freshmen might be able to get better seats on the opposition's side of the field for the less popular games such as Brown and Holy Cross.
