NCAA returns to non-NFL stadiums for lacrosse’s Championship Weekend

The NCAA had a pretty big announcement yesterday. The 2021 and 2022 NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Championship will be held at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn. The last time Championship Weekend was not held in an NFL stadium was in 2002, when it took place at Rutgers picking up a two-day attendance total of 42,829 fans.

In 2019 Rentschler Field and Shuart Stadium (Hofstra) will host the quarterfinals while Championship Weekend will be played at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. The 2020 quarterfinals will be at Shuart Stadium and Brown Stadium with Championship Weekend again being played in Philadelphia.
