Stanford has imposed the entrance fee, but is actually quite reasonable given what it includes:
* T-shirt
* Weekend parties and drinks at all parties, breakfasts and lunches
* Field & facility reservation fees
Without a doubt, this weekend will be one of your best memories at Haas (ask anyone who went last year!) and is well worth the money.
Partners are welcome to register too!
* REGISTER BY APRIL 7th before prices increase to $70!
Where do I stay - hotel information
The best way to enjoy Sports Weekend is to truly make a weekend out of it and stay down on the peninsula. There will be plenty of drinking festivities each night so having a hotel might be the best way to put a smile on your face at the end of the night.
* Rooms have been reserved at the Sheraton Palo Alto
* The rate is $129 per night
* The group rate is valid for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights
