Philadelphia and Drexel University will host the 2013 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships at Lincoln Financial Field May 25-27. This will be the third time overall and first since 2006 that Philadelphia will have hosted the championships.

Baltimore hosting in 2014 will mark the sixth time the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships have been played in the city, serving previously as the championship site in 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2010.

“Philadelphia and Baltimore have first-class facilities with outstanding staffs and local organizing committees that have proven their championship hosting capabilities,” said Dermot Coll, chair of the Division I Men's Lacrosse Committee and associate director of athletics at the U.S. Air Force Academy. “The student-athletes have had great championship experiences in both places, and we expect outstanding events yet again in 2013 and 2014.”
