The 2025 Holy Cross Crusaders vs. Georgetown Hoyas football game scheduled for Nov. 22 has been moved to Fenway Park, per a Thursday release.
“What an exciting opportunity for our student-athletes, staff and the entire Crusader community to experience Holy Cross football at the most iconic venue in all of sports. We are excited to work with Fenway Park Events to welcome families, fans and friends from both schools to create a once-in-a-lifetime memory,” said Kit Hughes, Holy Cross Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics, in the release. “Fenway Park is synonymous with rich history and tradition, home to one of the best teams and some of the best moments in professional sports history, and we are thrilled for the chance for our student-athletes to play in such a unique environment.”
This will be the Crusaders’ 22nd football game played at Fenway and the first since 1956.
“It is an incredible opportunity for our program to be able to play at historic Fenway Park,” said Holy Cross football head coach Dan Curran. “Our student-athletes, alumni, and the entire Holy Cross community are so excited to take on Georgetown University in what should be an amazing environment.”
The schools are part of the Patriot League in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The November matchup will be the 38th all-time between the sides.
“Our players, coaches, staff and alumni are extremely excited to compete at one of the country’s most iconic stadiums,” said Georgetown head coach Rob Sgarlata. “I am excited to play in front of the Hoya faithful in this incredible environment against Holy Cross.”
FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
Fan of CFB games being played at Boston historical Fenway Park.
Hope you do not mind me talking about Baseball because my dream next year is to see Chicago Cubs become first National team to play on Patriots Day & My suggestion would be Cubs have an Eastern trip to play in Philadelphia vs Phillies April 17th, 18th & 19th & then head to Boston to play vs Red Sox April 20th, 21th & 22nd. all in 2026.
correction: first National League team.
So sick of college football games being moved off campus. FCS teams only have five home games a season. Why take one of those games away and play it 50 miles away in a decrepit baseball stadium with terrible sightlines against a terrible opponent? Few people care about Holy Cross football in Boston, and 90% of Boston doesn’t even know Georgetown has a football team. Enough with forcing these gimmick games in baseball stadiums.
A game at fenway would draw more interest than a having played in Worcester. Georgetown also has a very healthy alumni base in Boston despite the team’s limited prowess.
I am a Fan of Campus games except for Power 4 OOC games & my disadvantage there will be visiting fans than home team fans that’s unfair & that why neutral site games are better to have for both fans bases even in FCS level & having it at Fenway Park in Boston would help CFB fans in Boston.
This game is on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, so most of the students won’t even be on campus anyway. This is a good idea.
