Homecoming 2010, to be held on Saturday, October 23, will feature the Lions taking on Ivy League rival Dartmouth in the afternoon football game at Baker Athletics Complex. Prior to the game, there will be a gourmet barbecue buffet lunch under the Big Tent and family fun at the Columbia Homecoming Carnival, featuring face painting, balloon making, magic, games, prizes and interactive activities for fans of all ages.

The tent opens for lunch and mingling with alumni, parents, students and friends at 11 a.m. Kickoff at Robert K. Kraft Field is at 1:30 p.m.

Lunch tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children under 12 if purchased online by Thursday, October 21: www.college.columbia.edu/alumni/homecoming. Lunch tickets also are available on site: $22 for adults and $12 for children. Each lunch ticket includes an all-you-can-eat barbecue buffet lunch, soft drinks and admittance to the Columbia Homecoming Carnival. Beer, wine and cocktails will be available at an additional cost. There also will be limited cash-and-carry items.

To purchase football tickets, which are separate from lunch tickets, call 888-LIONS-11 or purchase online: www.gocolumbialions.com/tickets. Premium chairback seats are $25; reserved bench seats are $15.

There are several options for getting to Baker Athletics Complex. Shuttle buses from the Morningside campus will be available beginning at 11 a.m. and will return immediately following the game, running between the Broadway gates and the northwest corner of West 218th Street and Broadway. Log on to www.gocolumbialions.com prior to the game for updated information.

Fans also may use mass transit. By subway, take the 1 train to 215th Street or the A train to 207th Street and walk north to West 218th Street and Broadway. By bus, the M100, Bx20 and Bx7 stop nearby. By Metro-North Railroad, the Marble Hill station is located on the north shore of Spuyten Duyvil, just across the Broadway Bridge from Baker Athletics Complex. Due to ongoing construction on the 1 and A train lines, it is imperative that attendees log on to www.mta.info or call 718-330-1234 prior to the game for up-to-date construction information and service advisories.

On-site preferred parking at Baker Athletics Complex is available as a benefit only to those making qualifying gifts to Columbia football. Single-game parking passes are not available. Fans arriving by vehicle without on-site preferred parking passes will be directed to public parking facilities.
