...team squashed Brown, 15-49, a few minutes after the Crimson women dumped the Bruins, 24-31, both teams are undefeated. Women's Couch Dennis Cochrane-Fikes was pleased with his team's showing, as Harvard's first five finishers crossed the lines in a 62-second span.

While athletic department officials--as well as most of the facilities' users--count those two structures as well-schemed successes, neither project was without problems. Contractors worked throughout last summer to install enough seating to span the length of the 100-yard field, then scrambled to erect seats in the enclosed end of the stadium in time for The Game.
