...first time since 1993, the Harvard women’s lacrosse team faced the University of Virgina. But the No. 9 Cavaliers’ (9-5, 2-3 ACC) first trip to Harvard Stadium yesterday didn’t quite go the way the Crimson (4-7, 1-2 Ivy) wanted.

"These kinds of symbols have to stop," he told Radio Netherlands Worldwide. In 2007, Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel warned that minarets shouldn't be "ostentatiously higher than church steeples...
...fans it's a more intimate, authentic soccer experience when you're closer to the field, instead of in cavernous environment," says Antonucci. "Plus, it doesn't cost as much to operate and staff a smaller facility." For example, in the WUSA the Washington Freedom played in RFK Stadium, the former home of the Washington Redskins and their 50,000 crazed fans.
