Every other year, the Harvard-Yale football game takes place. The parking lots are full of people. Westville residents even lend their front lawns for parking. But what happens to the Yale Bowl during the rest of the year?

It largely remains empty, but crows tend to run laps and congregate in large numbers in sections 32 and 25.
