PPL Park

[edit]

This is being advertised as meeting on a neutral field, and is, because PPL Park is not currently Villanova's home stadium. West Virginia is playing James Madison at RFK in Washington DC, and although West Virginia is the home team, it is certainly a neutral field. From the Delaware News Journal - "Villanova and Delaware will renew their football rivalry Nov. 19 at 18,000-seat PPL Park in Chester, Pa., the first time the teams will meet on a neutral field."

Based on the quote you provided, I have reverted my recent edit so that the template once again indicates this game is on a neutral site. Even though UD's press release calls PPL Park an "off-campus site" where "The Wildcats will host their first-ever game at the home of the Philadelphia Union," and Villanova's press release quotes the Philadelphia Union CEO as stating: "We are honored to be building a long term relationship with such a world class university and are very excited about our partnership and the future," I don't think either of those statements trumps your reasoning.
