High Noon

Multi-Sport Field
It will be a while before most Dartmouth game times are announced but thanks to a Georgetown release we know that the Big Green and Hoyas are slated for a NOON Sept. 19 kickoff at Multi-Sport Field, a converted intramural field.

The facility, listed as having 2,400 seats, had a record 3,500 for a game against Brown in 2005.

Georgetown drew 2,502 for last year's game against Harvard and 2,262 for a game against Brown. The Hoyas finished 3-8 last year, defeating Brown, 17-3, and falling to Harvard, 34-3.

Here's the "detailed" seating chart for Multi-Sport Field ;-)


A look at all the Ivy League and Dartmouth opponent schedules doesn't turn up any other game times but pencil in Dartmouth's home opener against Sacred Heart as a night game. That will be the first game played in front of the rebuilt home grandstand.
KARE television in Minnesota has a STORY about a Kickstarter campaign launched by Connor Cosgrove and his brother Clint, who spent a little time on the Dartmouth football staff. (BIO)  ComfPort is described on its Kickstarter site as, "Clothing With A Cause - Making Cancer Comfortable. Connor Cosgrove was a University of Minnesota football player when he was diagnosed with cancer.
The New York Times has a STORY that comments on the difference between Jeff Immelt, chief executive of General Electric, and predecessor Jack Welch. From the story:
In style and temperament, Mr. Immelt and Mr. Welch are remarkable contrasts. Mr. Immelt, a 6-foot-4 former football lineman at Dartmouth, is an informal man whose outward manner is easygoing. Mr. Welch, a 5-foot-7 dynamo, is a coiled spring given to rapid-fire speech.
Immelt '78, played on the offensive line at Dartmouth.
