Harvard University Friday rejected a request by the Boston Breakers to play their 1984 home United States Football League games in Harvard Stadium.
Athletic Director John P. Reardon Jr. cited a commitment to host 1984 Olympic soccer competition and the “huge” Harvard and neighborhood sports programs in rejecting the request from Breakers President Robert Caporale. The USFL team uses Boston University's Nickerson Field for home games.
The facility, which sits next to Boston University dormitories, was expanded to hold 20,000, although attendance figures are the lowest in the 12-team league.
Story-(UPI)
