Officials at Georgetown and Holy Cross announced that the Nov. 22 game between the schools has been moved to Fenway Park in Boston.
Holy Cross has not played at the park since 1956, while Georgetown last played there in its memorable match with #5 Boston College in 1940 before 35,000 in attendance.
"Our players, coaches, staff and alumni are extremely excited to compete at one of the country's most iconic stadiums," said head coach Rob Sgarlata. "I am excited to play in front of the Hoya faithful in this incredible environment against Holy Cross."
"We are excited to work with Fenway Park Events to welcome families, fans and friends from both schools to create a once-in-a-lifetime memory," said Holy Cross athletics vice president Kit Hughes. "Fenway Park is synonymous with rich history and tradition, home to one of the best teams and some of the best moments in professional sports history, and we are thrilled for the chance for our student-athletes to play in such a unique environment."
This is Georgetown's first visit to Boston since it defeated Boston State (now UMass-Boston) 7-6 to open the 1973 season. Holy Cross' last game at Fenway took place in a 7-0 season finale over Boston College before the Eagles moved to Alumni Stadium on-campus.
