Football Practice Returns to South Lawn

Columbia football's new head coach Al Bagnoli wants to have his players in the spotlight on campus where their classmates and friends can see them. His new approach picks up on an old idea from Columbia’s past:  holding pre-game ‘walk-through’ practices on South Field, where the Lions played their games on Morningside Heights until Baker Field was built in the 1920s. He’s also opened up his first season to the documentarians of WNYC public radio, which is following Columbia football in an insightful 10-part podcast series called The Season. Come out and watch the practice starting at 3:00 p.m. today as the Lions prepare for Saturday’s game against Georgetown. Learn more about Columbia football here.
