![]() Once referred to by Sports Illustrated as "the biggest little game in the nation," the Cortaca Jug was played in 2019 before a Division III- record crowd of 45,161 fans at MetLife Stadium, with Ithaca prevailing, 32-20. After meeting up with friend and Ithaca football captain Dick Carmean, the two painted the jug blue, gold, red and white in honor of both schools’ colors. The Cortaca Jug was first introduced to the Cortland-Ithaca football rivalry in 1959, when Cortland football captain Tom Decker ’61 stopped at a yard sale and purchased a $2 jug from a local farmer, thinking it could be used as a trophy for the annual game between the two teams. Ithaca will be the home team for the contest. ![]() The 63rd edition of the game will mark the first time Yankee Stadium will host an all-New York State college football game since Syracuse defeated Army, 27-15, on Nov. All tickets will be delivered digitally, and mobile phone presentation will be the only method of entry accepted. Subject to availability, fans can choose to sit on the SUNY Cortland Red Dragons side of the stadium (third base/left field), or the Ithaca College Bombers side of the stadium (first base/right field).
