Yale 2016 schedule
Two of the five TV contests are Friday night league games. On Oct. 21, the first true night game at Yale Bowl takes place with Penn in town for an NBC Sports Network broadcast. The Blue hosted Harvard last November in a 2:30 game that featured darkness in the second half and a spectacularly lit Bowl.

Re: Yale 2016 schedule
When Yale entertains Pennsylvania at home on the night of October 21st, it will mark two departures from the storied history of the Yale Bowl.
The more publicized departure is that it will be the first game in that concrete saucer to be played exclusively at night. Kick-off will be at 7 PM to accommodate an Ivy League TV package. Last year, for the same reason, the Harvard game had a late afternoon start, and by the time the sun set, around 4:40, portable lights took over illuminating the field.
In addition, there is another unique aspect to when this game will be played.
The date of October 21, 2016, comes out on a Friday, hardly a day for a Yale Bowl contest to take place. In fact, only once before (excluding a few freshman games) have the Bulldogs competed on the Bowl’s turf on a Friday. That covers a period of 102 years.

Re: Yale 2016 schedule
Just for fun, I went to the Yale ticket website. I was curious about season ticket prices. $80 for reserved season tickets!!!! $80!!!! That is unbelievably awesome!
I would've gone Ivy but I couldn't get a Whataburger.
