Duke University Lacrosse Coach Praises New Mitchel Athletic Complex Field
Duke University lacrosse coach John Danowski recently told Newsday that the new lacrosse field at the Mitchel Athletic Complex in Uniondale is the “best public venue around.” The artificial turf field, installed in 2007, is located in Mitchel Stadium and is also designed for use by football and soccer teams.
Danowski, the former coach at Hofstra University, was at Mitchel Stadium for a game with Dartmouth University on March 29. Duke, which sports one of the top lacrosse programs at the college level, defeated Dartmouth in that game, 16-9, in front of 6,500 fans.
Other college lacrosse teams that have played on the new field include Cornell University, Navy and Nassau Community College. The Long Island Lizards, of Major League Lacrosse, are scheduled to play at Mitchel on May 17, 2008.
