The teams have played each other every year since 1952 with UMass holding a 43-27-3 advantage. UNH captured the 2008 game, 52-21; UMass won the 2009 thriller, 23-17; and the Wildcats beat the Minutemen last year, 39-13.

UMass has advanced to the NCAA championship three times since 2003 (2003, 2006 and 2007) while UNH has been selected to play in the NCAA championship each of the past seven seasons (2004-2010), the longest active streak in the nation.

In addition to serving as the home of the three-time Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots and the New England Revolution of the MLS, Gillette Stadium has hosted a wide variety of sports events since opening in 2002, including the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships, FIFA World Cup qualifiers and high school football Super Bowls.
