[quote=Anonymous]Have a daughter at Lafayette, and we as parents have been to two football games. Lehigh game was a great event...full stadium with tailgating and the campuses have extra energy those weekends because of the rivalry...clever banners hung by students ridiculing the other side, more parties, etc. 
The second game was over a Family Weekend, and was a bit lackluster. For all home games, I believe, the school sponsors a block party event and there is tailgating, but on a small scale. And the interest from students in all the games beside Lehigh is fairly low per our daughter. 
We reside in SEC country and are avid college football fans. There just is no way at a LAC to replicate the gameday weekends (plural) like you find at the power conferences. And it's not just about the size of the crowds or stadiums, it's about the relative lower interest in the games.
Lafayette-Lehigh is very cool, but obviously comes just once a year.

This aside, it's worth mentioning that she has been happy with her academic environment.[/quote]
