In the past we have loved going to home Yale games at the wonderful Yale Bowl here in New Haven and always asked at the gate to the parking lot who are the "notables" attending (usually some Senators or Reps or Cabinet folk) and the Bowl guards are aware of their presence. One of the Obama daughters was at one Harvard-Yale game and Paul McCartney was once there when we were (he had a grandson who was at Yale at the time). Alas, we didn't see them! It's a fun fact that a POTUS cannot attend as he/she could not be adequately protected.
