Lafayette–Lehigh at Yankee Stadium in 2014

LAFAYETTE will host the 150th meeting of college football’s most-played rivalry at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 22, 2014.

“This important milestone for the most-played football rivalry in the country will be celebrated at our nation’s most iconic sports facility,” President Daniel H. Weiss said. “Our fans deserve nothing less, and our student-athletes will remember this day for the rest of their lives.”

Begun in 1884, Lafayette- Lehigh is not only the nation’s most-played rivalry. It has been played every year since 1897 without interruption, reaching 116 consecutive years in 2012, the longest streak for any rivalry in college football.

The approximate capacity of the stadium for the game will be 36,000 with access to the venue permitted two hours before kickoff, which will be set for mid-afternoon. Travel packages that include transportation to and from the Lehigh Valley, hotels, and in-stadium tailgating will be announced at a later date.
