Ok, first the NCAA botched this whole thing last nite by redoing the draw because of some upset "old guard" teams. However, after calling my friend at Princeton who is the head of Athletic Communications, the game is officially at 52' field. The NCAA screwed up and had the early games not on the campus sites originally.

They rebuilt 52' field and it now seats 3k, but they can squeeze more in. If you guys have the opportunity (i have a final unfortunately) this is an awesome weekend trip.

Princeton, for those who haven't been, is a small quaint community. Palmer square is a nice little shopping area (Dane Pound...your wife would love it) with nice little old school pubs and restaurants. The school is absolutely gorgeous, and there is plenty for the kids to do around there. Carnegie lake is where the crew team bases it self, and its a goregous public access lake right behind campus.

It's about a 3 1/2 (w/ traffic) trip from Albany. I would expect a ton of the parents to be at this game since its 45 min from NYC. The best way to go from UA to beat traffic is to head down the thruway, but get off through NJ (not NY-WESTCHESTER ROUTE)and head down Rt. 17 through Paramus, which hooks up to I-80 which leads you to the NJ Turnpike or if there is traffic...ROUTE 1 and 9 (thats what its called). It's an easy straight shot!!! Princeton is right off RT 1 and 9 and there are a ton of quality hotels and motels that are reasonably priced and about 10 minutes from campus.

GO DANES!
