The games held at Harvard Stadium (even years) are generally always sold out, with stadium capacity at 30,898. In odd years, The Game is played at the Yale Bowl, which has a significantly larger capacity of 64,269. The usual crowd is over 50,000, but tickets are always available. This season, with both teams playing well and possibly undefeated in league play coming into The Game, there's the possibility of a sell-out at the Yale Bowl.
