Experience the Rivalry -Â A Storied Tradition
Â
 "I was thinking, through my father, my grandfathers, my brothers and myself, and my three daughters, that we probably have seen most of the games…" --  Bob Bevan '60
Â
Bob Bevan '60 says the Lehigh-Lafayette Game is the most important day of the year for his family. After all, his grandfather likely cheered on the team at the very first Lehigh-Lafayette game in 1896. Harry Levine '56 remembers sneaking onto Lafayette's campus the night before the game – and facing the consequences of his hijinks. Amanda and Steve Greenblatt '89 recall the pride – and the competition – that went with winning a piece of the goalpost.Â
