I am confident that ESPN is rooting for ND, MD, Hopkins, and Syracuse to reach the Final Four. That would likely set attendance and ratings records.faircornell wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 9:59 pm This weekend will feature four games with some of the most storied programs in the sport. Both venues are squarely located in longstanding "hotbed" locations. Both the Hofstra stadium in Hempstead and the Towson stadium hold approximately 11,000 people. I wonder if they might be sold out, or close to sold out. Certainly great lacrosse games are on the schedules.

The nightmare for ESPN would be a GT, Duke, UVA, Denver Final.

The tournament has not seen attendance reach the 50,000 level since 2007-08. It's been about 30,000 for the semis for about 10-15 years now. I could be wrong, but I doubt we see attendance levels above 35,000 no matter who plays.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 10:12 pmI am confident that ESPN is rooting for ND, MD, Hopkins, and Syracuse to reach the Final Four.

lots of pickup games when it's at m&t near the stadium. the linc, 10stone can probably advise, the lots aren't as homey. getting a twig on carry on might mean a fiddle stick, and those are generally the best sticks for the pickup games anyway.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 9:14 am I’m taking son as a Xmas gift but for now. He asked me if they ever have any pickup games around the stadium. I told him he could “pick up those expensive tickets I bought for him and hand them to the person at the entrance.
I bought championship game tickets a while back and they were cheaper for better seats than I got for the semis when buying a few days ago.
We’re flying up sunless I bought him something up there probably not gonna have a stick. But maybe. Bigger question is will the Ben Franklin science museum be a shitshow on Sunday?wgdsr wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 10:32 amlots of pickup games when it's at m&t near the stadium. the linc, 10stone can probably advise, the lots aren't as homey. getting a twig on carry on might mean a fiddle stick, and those are generally the best sticks for the pickup games anyway.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Wed May 15, 2024 9:14 am I’m taking son as a Xmas gift but for now.

Chairback seats are sold out.
General admission concrete bench seats are still available as is parking.
Parking is $20 before game and $30 on gameday at stadium.
If you want to park in one of the lots, you'll have to pay. Lot 5 was $20 and Lot 8 was $30 when I got tickets yesterday. Not sure how much the garages around costyouthathletics wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2024 10:01 am Planning on going Sunday to Towson. Anyone recall if you need to purchase a parking lot pass as well....I seem to recall most of the parking was free over the years?
