Though Harvard didn’t defeat Yale through the a hundred and fortieth version of The Recreation on Saturday, the Crimson claimed a share of the Ivy League title alongside Columbia and Dartmouth. It’s going to now flip its focus to the FCS Playoffs after enjoying its remaining sport of the season on the most historic stadium in school soccer.
Watching giant soccer gamers disappear into an absurdly small locker room tunnel at Harvard Stadium won’t ever not be humorous!
The stadium, situated within the Allston neighborhood of Boston, was in-built 1903 and later designated as a Nationwide Historic Landmark in 1987 because the oldest everlasting concrete construction in the USA devoted to school sports activities. Its use of bolstered concrete was a pioneering breakthrough in building on the time.
On account of its standing as a landmark, the college is not going to make any modifications to the school soccer (and soccer!) stadium. The way it was constructed greater than 120 years in the past is how will probably be ceaselessly.
That features the hilariously small locker room tunnel. The “door” is manner too small. Gamers should crouch down at any time when they wish to enter the sector of play or head again into the locker room, each single time. They appear to be they’re getting into by way of a portal to a special dimension.
Harvard Stadium’s design (1903) froze what had been debated dimensions of an American soccer area… it is also so outdated it requires gamers to duck as they enter the tunnel: #HarvardYale #TheGame pic.twitter.com/9pZB3cF7SV

The unusually small tunnel entrance creates a site visitors jam at any time when both group enters or exits the sector of play. It’s by no means not humorous.

Saturday was not the exception to the hilarity. We often get to see gamers leaving the sector on the tv broadcast. Not often will we get to see it from the opposite angle, which is perhaps even funnier.
