Spring Fling headliner Ben Harper is not scheduled to arrive until 5 p.m. Sunday, but Old Campus will be teeming with thousands of inebriated, sun-seeking Yalies well before then.
This year, the Spring Fling fun goes up on Old Campus at 11:30 a.m. Unlike in previous years, Yale IDs will not be required for admission. The event is open to students, community members and alumni lingering on campus after the Tercentennial celebration.
A hired security force will check for alcohol at all Old Campus gates.
