INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- For the second time in four years, the University of Delaware's Delaware Stadium will serve as host to the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Tournament Quarterfinals.
The NCAA announced Tuesday that Delaware's 22,000-seat lacrosse and football venue will serve as the host site for the quarterfinals in May, 2017. Delaware hosted the NCAA Men's Quarterfinals in 2014 and also hosted the NCAA Division I Championship Game in 1984, the first-ever NCAA Final Four in 1986, and NCAA first round games in 2002.
The NCAA also announced Tuesday that Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., will be the site of the 2017 and 2018 Division I semifinals and final, in addition to the Divisions II and III national championship games. These championships will represent the fourth and fifth time that the home of the NFL's New England Patriots has hosted the event. The championships also took place there in 2008, 2009 and 2012. Harvard University will serve as the host school.
The 2008 Division I men's lacrosse title game at Gillette Stadium set a record for highest championship game attendance when 48,970 fans attended.
The 2017 Division I men's lacrosse quarterfinals will be split between the University of Delaware and James M. Shuart Stadium in Hempstead, N.Y., on the campus of Hofstra University. In 2018, two quarterfinals games will be held again at Hofstra, while the other quarterfinals matchups will be at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Hofstra has previously hosted the quarterfinal round eight times, most recently in 2014, while Navy has hosted five times previously, including in 2015.
