For the tenth time since 1997, Hofstra has been selected to serve as host for the NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Quarterfinals. The University was named as one of the two sites for the 2018 Quarterfinals, with Fairfield University serving as the other site. Hofstra will host the quarterfinals each year through 2022.

Shuart Stadium, which seats more than 13,000, is the largest outdoor sports complex on Long Island. Opened in 1963, it has served as the site for NCAA Championships, New York State High School Championships, world championships and professional contests.

Shuart Stadium has been an important venue in NCAA Lacrosse history as it served as the site of the first-ever NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse Championship game in 1971, which saw Cornell post a 12-6 victory over Maryland. Since then the stadium has hosted first round NCAA Tournament games in 1973, 1993 and 2006, and NCAA Quarterfinals in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2011, 2014 and 2017.

The four largest crowds in James M. Shuart Stadium history occurred during the hosting of the NCAA Lacrosse Quarterfinals. A stadium record of 13,519, the largest-ever lacrosse crowd on Long Island, watched the 2014 NCAA Quarterfinals at Hofstra. 13,447 spectators were in attendance for the 2011 NCAA Quarterfinals, while a crowd of 12,292, a then-NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championship Quarterfinal record, witnessed the 1999 NCAA Quarterfinals. In 2001, 10,510 fans attended the quarterfinals at Hofstra.
