Alumni Game Reminder - November 7th

~Alumni Game Reminder~

Just a reminder that the 2010 UConn Lacrosse Alumni game will be held at 2pm on November 7th at Depot Field (directions http://uconnmenslacrosse.blogspot.com/1999/04/facilitiesdirections.html). This summer Depot Field underwent a significant renovation and the field looks great. Please try your best to arrive on time. There's no rain in the forecast and it looks like we'll have low 50's weather.  Alumni are invited to attend an informal post game gathering at Teds for drinks and food (I am sure some of us will also be at Teds before the game).  The team would like all alumni to know that if someone needs a place to crash at all this weekend feel free to contact mason.banwell@uconn.edu for accommodations.

~2011 ESPNU Warrior Classic Announced~

As I am sure many of you are aware last year ESPN hosted a lacrosse doubleheader at UConn's football field Renstchler Field.  We were able to secure ticket discounts for UConn Lacrosse Alumni and held a tailgate pregame.  Overall the events attendance was good, but could have been better in my opinion if the start time wasn't so early (11:00am) and had teams with more name recognition.  This years event should be much improved as the start times are 4pm and 7pm for Hofstra vs. UMass and Syracuse vs. Rutgers respectively.  I'll again work with AEG to secure some sort of ticket deal.  More info to come early spring.
