Harvard and Yale hold the oldest football rivalry. "The Game" was first played in 1875.
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.

Okay, I might be completely biased because I go to Yale, but from what I hear it's sometimes very miserable at Harvard. Their newspaper even wrote in article conceding defeat in that area. The general population at Yale is in love with Yale, and Yalies, and college life. I don't regret the decision one bit. ANOTHER GOOD ANSWER They are both fantastic schools. I want to go to Yale for my bachelor's degree and the go to Harvard Medical School.

Harvard and Yale are both good on a lot of things so go by what you find out.
