Artificial turf for the lax tournament. Also: Seats 3,500 -- could that be a problem? Although Cornell at Princeton only drew 2,011 fans Saturday at a 4,000-seat stadium that has been filled in earlier years.

Stevenson-Pincince Field, named after longtime men's soccer and men's lacrosse coach Cliff Stevenson and longtime women's soccer and softball coach Phil Pincince, is home to the Brown soccer and lacrosse teams.

Stevenson-Pincince Field has a capacity of 3,500 spectators and has hosted many events throughout the years, including several NCAA tournament games in both soccer and lacrosse.

In February 2020, Brown completed the Center for Lacrosse and Soccer. The new structure includes coaches offices, player locker rooms, a video/media space, press box, permanent grandstands, concessions, and a function space.

going into the game Princ was #2 in rpi so the win helped

Harv/BU lost so that helped.

I think Its 100% we are in with a win and almost 100% with a loss.

brown/cornell/prin/yale are all in..

what do they do with Penn who has a crazy high rpi and didnt make the IVY tourney and Harvard probably falls out even if they have a top 15 RPI

Contrary to some of the scenarios posted here and on fanlax, Penn is the 4-seed over Harvard.  Fooled me, too.

Yep.  

Cornell v Yale at 6 PM Friday

Brown v Penn at 8 PM

'Supposed to rain Friday evening in Providence. Be prepared!

Cornell weather?

Much prefer an artificial field. A muddy track can be a leveler, and I think we're a better team than Yale.

I saw Yale live at field level vs Harvard.  They a they are BIG.  And fast. Superior coaching, defense always where they're supposed to be.  Sorry man.  You're dreaming. We could win, But no bet from me.

Cornell already beat them once. They can certainly do it again. Yale is big and physical. In the last game, they simply ran over Cornell players two or three times. But lacrosse rewards physical strength only to a point (and maybe more so on a muddy game). Small and quick can also score a lot of goals. Jeff Teat is not a large player, and he is one of the best ever to play.

Ivy League 2022 Lacrosse Tournament
#2 (seed) Cornell vs. #3 Yale 6 pm EDT Friday 5/6
#1 Brown vs. #4 Penn 8:30
Championship, Sunday 12 noon (no consolation game)
At Brown, Stevenson-Pincince Field (Erickson Athletic Complex, 235 Hope St, Providence, RI 02906), capacity 3,500
ESPN-U and apparently ESPN+.

Predictions:

Ivy League
Winner: Cornell
The Ivy League has been an extremely fun and competitive conference to watch this year whether they are playing in or out of conference. Despite Cornell's most recent two goal [sic] skid, they are extremely well rounded and talented across the field. This Cornell team is not unfamiliar with success and should have the leadership to bounce back from these late season hiccups and win the conference tournament.
Underdog: Brown
[Late season wins bring] confidence along with an anchor [more like a form-fitting plug, if you've seen Theriault, 5-foot-7, 210 pounds, in profile –ed] in the net .. exactly what is needed to propel Brown to a lacrosse conference tournament championship this year. https://laxallstars.com/2022-ncaa-lacrosse-conference-tournament/

Brown's lacrosse stadium has an artificial turf surface. There is no rain forecasted for Friday anyway, according to the latest weather report.

Weather.com is still showing Friday chances of rain = 15% day, 24% night.

I bought my tickets today. GA: $15.00 Friday only, $20.00 Friday & Sunday. I used electronic ticketing to print out my tickets for both days. (No waiting in line for will-call.)

I would like to assume that buying tickets guarantees seats, but the link at BrownBears.com, which Bill Howard posted, shows a seemingly SRO crowd by a fence. So, maybe the 3,500 seat figure is not the full capacity.

Fortunately, our game is the early one, and Brown's is late. It may be a safe assumption that many local fans won't show up for the early, dinnertime game.

My own plan is to go to the Providence Place Mall downtown, pick up some M-Day presents and an early dinner in the food court, and then head over to S-P Field around 5:30.

Beware: the parking lot there is not nearly big enough for a capacity crowd. On-street parking nearby is free, if you can find a spot.

I worry that Cornell's new athletic facilities (non-hockey/football/basketball) out Game Farm Road / Pine Tree Road way will have limited parking capacity so as to encourage parents and fans to park remotely (as if Pine Tree Road is not) then take a slow shuttle to the game.

The Cornell master plan offers this insight:

Opportunities to achieve connections to and from the central campus exist at the macro and micro level and should be embodied in the Game Farm Road organizational framework.

Actually, deep in the plan there's language showing parking plans for 524 cars. So maybe that works.
