The Yale–Princeton series is the nation's second-longest by games played, surpassed only by [[The Rivalry (Lafayette–Lehigh)|"The Rivalry"]] between [[Lehigh Mountain Hawks football|Lehigh]] and [[Lafayette Leopards football|Lafayette]], which began later in 1884 but included two or three games in each of 17 early seasons.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lehighsports.com/info/history/lehigh-lafayette.aspx|title=The Rivalry: Lehigh vs. Lafayette|work=LehigSports.com|access-date=April 25, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130421004247/http://www.lehighsports.com/info/history/lehigh-lafayette.aspx|archive-date=April 21, 2013}}</ref> For the first three decades of the Yale-Princeton rivalry, the two played their season-ending game at a neutral site, usually New York City, and with one exception (1890: Harvard), the winner of the game also won at least a share of the [[College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS|national championship]] that year, covering the period 1869 through 1903.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/16/sports/college-football-a-woeful-yale-loses-to-princeton.html|title=A Woeful Yale Loses To Princeton|last=Wallace|first=William N.|date=November 16, 1997|work=The New York Times|access-date=April 25, 2013|archive-date=May 12, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512050849/http://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/16/sports/college-football-a-woeful-yale-loses-to-princeton.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://collegefootball.about.com/od/nationalchampions/a/champions-list.htm|title=College Football National Champions: The Complete List|last=Hyland|first=Tim|work=About.com|access-date=April 25, 2013|archive-date=April 25, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130425110419/http://collegefootball.about.com/od/nationalchampions/a/champions-list.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> This phenomenon of a finale contest at a neutral site for the national title created a social occasion for the society elite of the metropolitan area akin to a [[Super Bowl]] in the era prior to the establishment of the [[National Football League|NFL]] in 1920.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.openculture.com/2012/02/princeton_v_yale_1903_the_oldest_college_football_game_on_film.html|title=Princeton v.
