So... the solution is Denver in February... I wonder if they have an indoor facility. The Ivies will be highly competitive with each other this year if recruiting classes are any measure.

Interesting. The league's game order has been the same since about 2007 I think.

My guess is that the change in the Ivy schedule has nothing to do with weather.
Rather...the ADs made the decision for multiple reasons, none of which are really "showstoppers" in my mind.
The changes for Cornell are Princeton (last game to first) and Dartmouth. Harvard moves back two weeks.
In the case of Princeton, perhaps alumni...or coaches, did not want this critical rivalry to be the last game of the regular season every year.

Cornell plays at Penn on Saturday March 30th then plays Syracuse 3 days later at home. I wonder if Syracuse has a game the same weekend as Cornell at Penn. I haven't seen a complete Syracuse schedule yet.

Monster Trucks are coming to the JMA Wireless Dome on April 6th (Sat).

Syracuse historically has played Cornell with a week or so of rest before the game. I hope that changes....

It seems to me that this is a very early release of the schedule. Am I mistaken?

One more thing. I guess we are about to join the "good losses" camp for NCAA bid criteria.

Denver in February has something that Ithaca rarely has: sunshine! Even if it snows, the snow melts in 15 minutes and the sun and low humidity keep you comfortable. The team does have to prepare for playing at altitude, however, but Coach Howley can help with that.

Looking forward to that Friday scrimmage versus the Terps.

I heard the game was moved to Saturday, Oct 21. Best check if planning to attend.

Of course, the game is at Cornell.

"The indoor field will accommodate NCAA men’s and women’s lacrosse competitions;"

Better late than never - at least compared to other Ivies and elite lax competition.
Except --- this "ain't" no bubble. Rather, with 120 yards of playing field length + seating, it definitely looks like the real deal.
A long way from practicing in the polo barns. Or early early mornings in sub-freezing weather at the Kopf.
I'm sure underclassmen on the current roster feel it can't happen soon enough.
