 PPL Park and Drexel University prepare to host NCAA Quarterfinals

PPL Park and Drexel University have teamed up to host the 2012 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals on May 20. It will be both the first time the quarterfinals have been held in Philadelphia, and the first time that PPL Park has hosted an NCAA event. In 2013, Drexel will also serve as host school when the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships return to Lincoln Financial Field.

"PPL Park has drawn great reviews as a world-class soccer stadium and now we will show that it's also a world-class venue for lacrosse,” said Nick Sakiewicz, Philadelphia Union CEO & Operating Partner. “We are proud to have earned the confidence and respect of the NCAA and, in partnership with Drexel University, are honored to showcase our venue by bringing one of the NCAA's signature events to Chester and the Greater Philadelphia region.”
