Do you expect this to change much in the near future, say the next 10-20 years?

yeah. if they fixed the schedule to play in better times.. i get the idea to be done by memorial.  buy you could move it back 2-3 weeks as well. been to a ton of games over the years but i dont recall as many really bad weather games but 30-40 yrs ago.  longer season causes  these issues.

I'm not set up right this second to look it up myself. Are there any other outdoor spring sports that play home regular season games/matches/meets in February?

I think just women's lacrosse. Softball and baseball typically play all their February games on the road.

Not being into lacrosse history nearly as much as hockey history, when/why did this change? Nothing wrong with hanging around campus into June, that's for sure.

Whatever we do, we should still make sure it's 35 degrees and freezing rain when we play Syracuse at home.

If it's Ithaca between October and May it will be.

Speaking of Teagle Hall, I didn't realize until a couple of weeks ago how Walter Teagle the source of his fortune and his role in WWII.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_C._Teagle  If anyone in Cornell's history deserves to be cancelled, he must be near the top of the list.

Incredible. If he did that today he'd be pardoned by President DeSantis.

Teagle is in such bad shape that the swimming and diving teams had several home meets at Ithaca College's pool. https://cornellsun.com/2022/03/28/a-deep-dive-into-the-state-of-cornells-pools/

Right up there with anti-Semite and educational misogynist Goldwin Smith.  Smith told AD White that admitting women would cause Cornell to "sink at once from the rank of a University to that of an Oberlin or a high school" and that all "hopes of future greatness" would be lost by admitting women.

Cornell's big machers (maybe bad phrasing, okay) of the early to mid-20th century as financial supporters and as trustees were in some cases men worldly in their dislikes, of Blacks, Jews, foreigners in general, Jews (just in case I forgot), of women if it meant taking Cornell space away from men, and people to the left of Kenneth Keating and Jacob Javits (NYS GOP senators 1950s-1980). All covered in Cornell: A History, 1940-2015 by Glenn C. Altschuler and Isaac Kramnick. Much of Cornell's support and standing as trustees went to men of industry until circa 1960, when Wall Street money moved in. An outlier was Cornell's biggest donor, Chuck Feeney Hotel '56, he of the duty-free shops.
