Princeton Tigers Football Game

If you like watching college football live, then one of the great entertainment values in the Princeton New Jersey area is to go and see a Princeton University Tigers football game.  As an Ivy League team, Princeton plays the other Ivies during its regular season including Brown, Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale and Columbia.  Powers field at Princeton Stadium is where you can see all of the action during the regular season on Saturday afternoons.  Ticket prices for the 2008 season were $7, but with a coupon you could get these reduced to $4 per ticket.  That’s about the same as what the local high schools charge to see a game.
 
Princeton Stadium is a great venue to see a college football game because it’s not too big, and it’s not too small, it’s just the right size.  Since Princeton Stadium does not have a track running around the outside of Powers field, spectators can see the action right up close from the lower level seats that surround the field.  There are concession stands where you can get a non-alcoholic drink, a hot dog, or a warm pretzel.  Alcoholic beverages are not permitted inside the stadium.  However, if you get to the game a couple of hours early, you can have a tailgate party and enjoy the food and beverage of your choice in the parking lots.
 
If this video you’ll see Princeton vs Dartmouth in the final home game of the 2008 season.  This game featured a couple of historic events, including Jordan Culbreath reaching the Tiger’s 8th 1,000 yard rushing season in the 140 year history of Princeton football; and with a 28-10 victory, Princeton also tied it’s all time record with Dartmouth.  Posted 11/24/08.
