As expected, Towson University will host the 2010 NCAA Division I women's lacrosse championship for the third year in a row, bringing both the men's and women's NCAA tournament finals to Baltimore next year. The women's games will take place at Johnny Unitas Stadium on May 28 and 30, while the men's final four returns to M&T Bank Stadium on May 29 and 31.
It's the first time both championships will be held in the same vicinity at the same time. It creates the opportunity for numerous lacrosse intensive activities for fans, families, and friends of all participating teams.
This year's Division I women's championship, which saw Northwestern defeat North Carolina, drew 14,064 to Unitas Stadium for the three games, a semifinals record for women's game in the United States.
Baltimore hosted the men's final four in 2003, 2004 and 2007 and set attendance records in each of those years. The announced 51,719 who showed up to watch the Division I men's semifinals in 2007 are still a single-day record for the tournament.
