What is the atmosphere like at UA Lacrosse games?? Or even lacrosse games in general?? I have never been to one before, but considering we have a top 25 team in the nation, no better time to see what it's all about than now I suppose

If the weather's anywhere near decent, it's a good time. In lax a goal gets scored on average every 2-3 minutes, and unlike soccer you can have the quick strike/home run play, so you have to keep paying attention. A lot of high schools bring teams to watch, and there are a lot of ex-players you should try to sit near to get rules interpretations.

 

Even at the women's lax game today the crowd was OK, Giffy leading the cheers - there with Aronhalt, Allen, Raffa and maybe others. (Women beat New Hampshire 16-15 in OT, after we led 10-0 after 25 min. and UNH scored 5 goals in the last 5 min. of the first half). (I'll have to read the rules sometime, other than the ball and sticks it's a completely different game from men's)
