Division I college football in New York City is rare, and Fordham's Homecoming is the one Saturday the Rose Hill campus fully turns out for it. The Rams host Long Island's Stony Brook at Jack Coffey Field, a compact campus stadium within walking distance of Arthur Avenue, with alumni, students and families filling the stands. If you want a real game-day afternoon without leaving the city, pair this with lunch in Little Italy of the Bronx.
What to expect
Tailgates and reunions across campus before kickoff, then a compact stadium with close-to-the-field seating and a student section. Games run about three hours, and the neighborhood's Arthur Avenue restaurants are a short walk away afterward.
Good to know
