Stevenson Home Openers at Unitas Stadium
from press releases
OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Due the massive amounts of
snow that remain on the Bermuda grass game field at Stevenson's
Caves Athletics Complex, the home openers for the men's and women's
lacrosse scheduled for this Saturday, February 27 have been moved
to Towson University's Unitas Stadium.
The women's game versus Ursinus will begin at 4:30 p.m., followed
by the men's game against Kean at 7:00 p.m.
As a result of the change in venue, there will be free admission
for Saturday's games, but there will not be any concessions.
However, live stats and video of both games will still be available
at

Although the game field was covered with tarps and despite the hard
work of Assistant Director of Facilities and Field Technician Tom
Russ, the back-to-back blizzards that hit the Mid-Atlantic Region
two weeks ago have left large amounts of snow that still covers the
team bench areas and most of the spectator areas.
In addition, there is a Winter Storm Watch in effect for the Owings
Mills area for Wednesday and Thursday for another winter storm that
is forecasted to dump five or more inches of snow over the next two
days.
The 11,000-plus seat Johnny Unitas Stadium boasts a FieldTurf
surface and ranks as the third-largest facility of its kind in the
Metropolitan Baltimore Area behind M&T Bank Stadium and Oriole
Park at Camden Yards. It is named after legendary NFL Baltimore
Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas.
In addition to being the home of the Towson football, men and
women's Lacrosse and women's track and field teams, the stadium has
also hosted games in the NCAA Division I lacrosse championships,
having served as the host of the NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse
Championships since 2008.
