The Big City Classic, presented by Inside Lacrosse, places some of the elite names in lacrosse on the big stage of Giants Stadium, with New York City providing a unique backdrop. In so doing, IL has ensured that lacrosse will be added to the impressive list of major sporting events that Giants Stadium has hosted. These include but are not limited to NFL regular season and playoff games, World Cup Soccer, college football bowl games and regular season games and major American soccer events, including men's and women's national team games.

The six lacrosse teams involved are worthy of the big stage. North Carolina, Virginia, Syracuse, Princeton, Hofstra and Delaware have advanced to the NCAA Semifinals a combined 67 times. They have won 24 NCAA championships, including the one Syracuse claimed last season.

Delaware, coming off an 11-9 win over Hartford Saturday, continues action this Friday when the Hens travel to Albany for a 4 p.m. game against the Great Danes in New York.
