Brown University kicks off football season

Brown University is set to kickoff their football season this Saturday at their first home game. Ivy league rival Harvard is coming to town to face the Bears.

Scott Cordishi joins the Rhode Show and says there is a lot more to look forward to than just another game.

The Rhode Show: What can fans expect to see this weekend?

Scott Cordishi: Last time these two teams met in Providence, it was the largest sporting event of the year in Rhode Island. More than 17 thousand fans visited the east side. Its become an annual tradition now for the third year in a row for Brown to bring in temporary lights to the stadium, it changes the atmosphere of the stadium and has the feel of a big time college football game.

The Rhode Show: Along with the lights there is another new addition to the stadium, tell us about that.

Scott Cordishi: Brown has put up a state-of-the-art video board. It's the largest in the Ivy League.

The Rhode Show: Its been a transition year with Brown introducing a new president, but what changes have been made to the athletic department?

Scott Cordishi: There is a new athletic director, new basketball coach, and renovated facilities.

The Rhode Show: Kick off is set for 4:30 on Saturday between Brown and Harvard, are there still seats?

Scott Cordishi: Yes, there are tickets still available through the website or day of the game at the stadium.
