Because the stadium has new lights (and new astroturf), tonight was the very first home game in Harvard's 134 years of football that was played after dark. That's coming from Joe, the nice older man who sat next to me, who also took a great deal of time to explain things like "downs" and what those silly upside-down exclamation points are for. We got there late and stayed just past the half-time show (kooky bands playing fun songs and running around like goofballs!). The whole thing was surreal... Fun, to be sitting in that grand stadium-- pillars all around the top, a view from our nose-bleed seats of the lit-from-below steeples and domes of Harvard's campus, the pretty pretty people in the new stadium lights and gorgeous evening air-- and to be hanging out with super nice people, Anna and Kevin. (After the game, we ate yum veggie food at Club Passim, listened to the folkish singer's show through the glass wall there, and then took a little time to boogie in the concert room after the paying audience left.)
