Just have Cornell play Columbia at Madison Square Garden.

I hate title ties.  Has anybody gone back and resolved all the ties with a decent tie breaker, or is it up to me?

(Whaddya wanna bet when it's done we lose all 3 titles?)

We won the head-to-head with Penn in 1988 and lost it with Dartmouth in 1990.  The other one was before my time.

Lost to Dartmouth in 1971 on national television.  Dartmouth's loss was to Columbia.

All I am saying is from a Cornell football fan perspective and logistics with so many of our wonderful alumni living in the NYC metro area, we need to try something different.   I have been attending the Cornell vs. Columbia game in NYC over the past few years (each of the every other year) and it's a fun game with a pretty good Cornell crowd.   It really has the atmosphere of a home game for Cornell, especially given we have two campuses in the Big Apple.  

Would you rather attend this game in Ithaca or NYC?   I don't even live in NYC but I think the game is a lot more fun in the city and it's a great venue for Big Red football fans.

Hey, Ithaca and Cortland State have drawn 40k+ twice in NYC

Yes down 17-0 at halftime.  Per Local Motion's idea I would agree that Cornell-Columbia is an excellent opportunity for an alumni/student engagement and ideally if they got Ivy League approval to play the game on same day as Red Hot hockey every 4 years or so.

That's some upside down table in 1971. Cornell and Dartmouth first, Columbia !?! Third.  Times change

They should have played every game in Philadelphia because there's more alumni there and it's 10 degrees warmer in November. Or something.

Well, we should just build a domed stadium near Cornell Tech and play there permanently, right?

By this reasoning, the logical place for our games is Taipei.

Hey, with a domed stadium in NYC, maybe those two NJ teams that still keep NY in their names would return.
