Holy Cross (Patriot) will be playing in the first annual Metropolitan Lacrosse Classic at the NY Mets' Citi Field:
The New York Mets today announced they will host the first-ever NCAA Division I lacrosse games at Citi Field in 2013. The inaugural Metropolitan Lacrosse Classic will feature the University of Michigan playing Colgate University, and the College of the Holy Cross battling the United States Naval Academy on Sunday, March 17 at Citi Field.
"When the Mets contacted me to see if we were interested and willing to move our home game, I didn't have to think long," said Holy Cross Athletic Director Richard M. Regan, Jr. "You might say that I agreed to it in a "New York minute". It's great opportunity to play on a very big stage. I think it will be a great day for the entire Holy Cross family - our players, staff, parents and alumni."
Faceoff for the Michigan-Colgate game is at 1:05 p.m. followed by the Holy Cross-Navy match at approximately 4:05 p.m. Both contests will be played rain or shine. ESPNU is expected to telecast the Michigan-Colgate game with ESPN3 carrying the Holy Cross-Navy contest.
FYI: Michigan will be at Fairfield on March 14.
