Harvard promoters wanted to ensure that students at The Game had a fun event to attend because Yale hosted tons of parties at last year's Game, according to Michael Cornish '03, one of the student promoters.

"If people are coming, they may as well have fun," Cornish said.

Avalon will charge a reduced admission of $10 to those on a special Harvard-Yale guest list. More than 600 students have signed up on the website list, www.clubinboston.com.

For those staying on campus tonight, the Undergraduate Council is sponsoring a DJ spin-off in Lowell Dining Hall featuring a Harvard DJ, Cameron D. Kirby '02, and a Yale DJ. The event, which will be held from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m., costs $5 at the door.

On game day, tailgate parties will flood the athletic fields, parking lots, and Harvard Business School.

Most undergraduate tailgate parties will be in the business school area, while alumni functions will be closer to the field.

The Undergraduate Council will serve free food at its tailgate, courtesy of Harvard Dining Services, but will not serve alcohol, according to James Cornell Coleman '02.
