The post-renovation Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium is the finest lacrosse venue in the world. The Bilderback-Moore Navy Lacrosse Hall of Fame takes visitors through the rich, 100-year history of Navy lacrosse. The playing surface, sightlines, comfortable seating, media accommodations, and sheer size of the stadium make it ideal for hosting NCAA men's lacrosse quarterfinal games. Of the 25 largest regular-season crowds in NCAA men's lacrosse history, eight were in Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The site also played host to the 2005 Women's Lacrosse World Cup and the 2005 NCAA Women's Lacrosse Championship. Professional lacrosse has gained a foothold in Annapolis as well, with the Washington Bayhawks moving to the stadium last year. Major League Lacrosse played its championship in Annapolis in 2009, and will continue to do so through 2011.
