Not sure if there's any interest in lacrosse, but the Shamrox have their first season beginning in January at the new Sears Centre. I am going to check it out, tickets are pretty reasonable.

I never really watched lacrosse. I knew some people at my school who are obsessed with it though.

You knew, or know? Lol jk

It depends on the state, like Iowa, we don't even have Lacrosse as an athletic state sport.

Lacrosse has always intrested me, I've watched a few games on ESPN U.

Don't get me wrong, it interests me too, very physical, but not close to basketball, or football interest.

Yea, I meant "know"

But seeing as I never watched it, I really don't know how physical it is, but I know it's pretty big in highschools.

It's pretty physical. It's like hockey on grass......I think in professional lacrosse the goalie gets decked out in gear that gives him protection like a tank. I am looking forward to checking it out. Plus they've got a cool name. :D

I wouldn't be surprised to see it on tv soon. They said it's the fastest growing sport in North America.
