On Friday, October 28 with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m., Jesuit and Holy Cross will mark the 100th anniversary of the two schools’ longstanding football rivalry. Begun in 1922, the matchup between the Blue Jays and the Tigers has continued in an unbroken chain for a century with the so-called “100th meeting” taking place a few years ago. The game is set to take place just 2 days following the exact anniversary of the originally game, which took place on October 26, 1922. This year’s festivities are sponsored by b1Bank.

This year, the tailgate will take place on the track field just to the north of Tad Gormley Stadium providing significantly more space to tailgaters and fans for pregame festivities. With thousands each year in attendance of the game and the tailgate, fans should observe the following policies.

The team behind Crescent City Sports is producing a live broadcast of this evening’s Jesuit-Holy Cross game for the 11^th consecutive year. Tonight’s game is streaming live at CrescentCitySports.com. In addition to the live broadcast, YurView will also re-air the game at 7 p.m. Tuesday, November 1, on Cox Communications channel 4, and an archived version of the stream will also be available on the CCS website
