We usually play on the IM Field, if it's open and available. If it's not available, which sometimes is the case due to maintenance or whatever, we move to Drake Stadium, which is directly adjacent to the IM Field. If both spaces are unavailable, then we move to the upper part of campus, and play on the fields in between the library and Royce Hall.
