1. What’s at stake: The Bulldogs have already clinched at least a share of their 15th Ivy League title. Awin and Yale earns its seventh outright title, and first outright title since 1980. A Harvard win would allow Dartmouth and Co- lumbia (both 7-2, 4-2) the opportunity to share the title. Dartmouth plays host to Princeton and Columbia hosts Brown. Yale has not shared the Ivy title with multiple teams in 48 years. This is the 30th time The Game has had Ivy League title implications for at least one of the two teams. Harvard is 16-12-1 in those contests.

2. No home advantage: Yale leads the overall series with Harvard 66-59 with eight ties, yet the Crimson have a 31-30 advantage at Yale Bowl. The teams have tied three times at the Bowl. Yale has not defeated Harvard at the Bowl since 1999, when Joe Walland found Eric Johnson for a spectacular catch with 29 seconds left to lead the Bulldogs to a 24-21 victory.

3. Parking at Bowl sold out: All parking passes in the lots around the Bowl are sold out. There is no general admission parking available at the Bowl Saturday. Parking is available downtown at the Crown Street (Max. daily rate of $13) and Temple Street (Max. daily rate of $16) garages.

4. Shuttle buses: Free shuttle buses will bring fans from downtown New Haven to Yale Avenue at the Yale Bowl starting at 8 a.m.. Buses will run during and after the game from Yale Avenue to three downtown locations. The Blue Line, which will begin running at 10 a.m., is located at the corner of Chapel and College streets, adjacent to Old Campus and the New Haven Green. The White Line is located at Payne Whitney Gymnasium. The Eli Line is located at York and Chapel streets. Both the White and Elie lines begin running at 8 a.m. After the game, all lines will drop off at the corner of York and Chapel streets.. 5. Firsts: The Game is responsible for many original events: Yale performed the first on-side kick against Harvard in 1881; Harvard’s flying wedge was first seen in the 1892 contest; the first game in the Bowl was the 1914 meeting; the first crowd at an American sporting event over 80,000 was the 1920 game at the Bowl; and the first triple OT Ivy game happened in 2005 at Yale.
