ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Cornell men's soccer team is setting out to break the Berman Field attendance record on Saturday when the Big Red plays host to Yale in a 7 p.m. contest on the Cornell campus. The Big Red's contest will follow the women's soccer game against the Bulldogs, which begins at 4 p.m. in a full evening of soccer at Berman Field.

The first 200 Cornell students in attendance starting at 6:30 p.m. will receive a special Break The Berman Record t-shirt, while all other fans in attendance will receive a Cornell Big Red drawstring backpack. All kids aged 14 and under who are wearing red will be admitted free of charge.

Tickets for the men's soccer game can be purchased online at www.CornellBigRedTickets.com or in person at the Cornell Athletic Ticket Office during office hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Tickets may also be purchased at the gate the night of the game. Adult tickets are $6, while seniors are $5 and Cornell staff and children aged five through high-school age are $4 apiece.

The existing Berman Field attendance record is 876, set on Oct. 20, 2001, when the Big Red battled Brown to a 1-1 draw. Cornell has had three crowds in excess of 800 since the field first began serving as the home to the Cornell men's and women's soccer teams in the 1997 season.
