Green Alert Take: While Dartmouth home attendance declined significantly since 1970 (when both Harvard and Yale were road games drawing a 35,000 and 60,820 respectively), it has remained stable since 1995.
Green Alert Take II: Most Ivy League football facilities are way too large.
Green Alert Take III: Sacred Heart's average was inflated significantly by the record 5,569 when the Pioneers played Dartmouth on family day. Attendance for the other four games averaged 2,452.
