Just a quick note to remind you that the
Men’s NCAA Lacrosse Championships are being held at
Gillette Stadium again this year. Over
Memorial Day Weekend the schedule is as follows:
Saturday May 26
th, 2012 Division 1 Semifinals 2 Games
Sunday May 27
th, 2012 Division 2 & 3 Finals 2 Games
Monday May 28
th, 2012 Division 1 Final 1 Game
Tickets can be purchased online by going to
www.gillettestadiumlacrosse.com. Here you will find out game times and other information regarding the weekend’s events. Ticket prices include parking. This is a great opportunity to see the best college teams in the country play. Folks who attended the 2008 and 2009 events set new NCAA Lacrosse attendance records and a good time was had by all!
For those of you following the
Women’s NCAA Lacrosse teams you can attend their finals at
Stony Brook University at Stony Brook, Long Island, NY on the same weekend. The US Lacrosse regional U19 games will also be held at Stony Brook that same weekend so there will be plenty of lacrosse to enjoy. Tickets for the Women’s NCAA can be found by going to NCAA.com. If you’re planning to attend the Long Island event you should make arrangements soon. It gets difficult to book hotel rooms as you get closer to the event. We attended the Women’s Finals last year and out hotel was about 40 minutes away. To get to Long Island take the Bridgeport, CT to Port Jefferson, NY ferry and Stony Brook is just a few miles from Port Jefferson.
Whether you follow the men’s game or the women’s game Memorial Weekend lacrosse is always a great time. I hope to see you at Gillette this year.
