Worth Noting: Friday's game at Fenway is a Brown home game. It's also the last time Dartmouth will play Brown in Week 9 of the season. Starting next year Dartmouth and Brown will close out the season against each other.
Worth Noting II: The Dartmouth-Brown game is one of two games the Big Green freshmen and sophomores will play in a major league ballpark. On Nov. 9, 2019 Dartmouth will play Princeton at Yankee Stadium. Dartmouth will be the home team in that game.
