FIELD LOCATION
The LOTD Tournament will be held at the CROSSROADS RUGBY FIELD in Madison, just one mile off of I-90 and near the intersection of Hwy. 12/18 East and Cty. Hwy. AB. See Directions here - http://www.wwrfc.com/directions.htm - it is located just behind the Crossroads Inn Tavern. We have moved the field location from Yahara Rugby Field due to flooding.
PLEASE NOTE: There are NO DOGS allowed at the Crossroads Rugby Field. Also, please park in the parking lot. No parking is allowed on the road.
HOTELS
Click here for searching for hotels in Madison. Best locations are either off of I-90/94 and Hwy. 151 (East Washington Ave.) which is just four miles up the interstate from our field and within easier driving distance of downtown activities. Do not choose hotels on Madison's west side or downtown, as these will either be more expensive or farther away.
ATHLETIC TRAINER
An athletic trainer will be available for your taping and injury needs at the field.
PICNIC, GRILLING & FUNDRAISING FOR VISITORS
Visiting players are encouraged to picnic and grill out all day at the field. You may also sell any of your home club's fundraising merchandise to other players. There will be water, fruit, etc., for purchase at the main tournament tent, but you should plan to provide your own food during the day. A Grocery store and several restaurants are within easy driving distance as well.
