Lehigh has worked with Lafayette and the New York Yankees to create a number of affordable options for all fans to attend this historic game. A large demand is expected for this historic event and all Lehigh friends and family are encouraged to attend.

It's incredibly exciting to be playing the 150th Lehigh-Lafayette game at Yankee Stadium, said Lehigh head coach Andy Coen. There are always expectations to that game, really right from the beginning of the season. It's really an event, not necessarily just a game. It'll be certainly very special playing the game in Yankee Stadium and everything that will go on around that game. It will be exciting for the students, the alumni, the fans and the players on both teams. It's going to be an exciting year, without a doubt.

The Lehigh-Lafayette game is being played at a neutral site for just the second time, and the first since 1891. Lafayette will be the designated home team. Tickets purchased through Lafayette will be on the first base/right field side of Yankee Stadium. Tickets purchased through Lehigh will be on the third base/left field side of the stadium. Tickets will also be available directly through the Yankees, sprinkled in both Lehigh and Lafayette sections. Please note that fees may be higher if purchased through The New York Yankees/Ticketmaster compared to those purchased through Lehigh.
