The first round of the single-elimination tournament was played on May 12 and May 13 at the home field of the top-seeded team. The quarterfinals were held on May 19 and May 20 on two separate neutral fields: the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland, and Princeton University Stadium in Princeton, New Jersey. The tournament culminated with the championship weekend, which included the Division II and Division III championships, semifinals and finals held on Memorial Day weekend at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. The championship game was played in in front of a record crowd of 48,443 fans.cite web |url=http://www.laxpower.com/common/NCAA-Attendance.php |title=Attendance Figures for the NCAA Men's Championships |accessdate=2008-06-25 |author= |date= |work= |publisher=LaxPower.com]
