Re: PLL Catch All

Well that’s my point. Whatever the Peacock is. Kids watch espn. Or regular tv.
Somehow PLL needs to get on mainstream channels.

Have to assume in-person attendance is down based on the eyeball test. Other than Homewood, few fans in attendance to be seen (son and I went to Gillette for week one ftw), but some of that has to do with covid I assume. I think PLL measures its success by clicks, eyeballs on tv etc., which translates to marketing revenue. I assume that is trending well. After all, some big dog VC investors bought into a new venture round just prior to the season.
Going on 8 weeks. Certainly hope all is well, and that they are just being very wise and keeping him out. I wonder if the PLL advised him to not return this year?kramerica.inc wrote: ↑Wed Jun 09, 2021 1:03 pm Any word on how Michael Sowers is doing after taking this hit to the back of the head?

The graphic in the quoted tweet does mention they've sold more tickets YTD than in 2019, and has other interesting numbers about growth on peacock and NBCSN
Indeed.....they have a looooong way to go. IMO, the PLL simply does not translate well on television for some reason. Maybe it is the way they structured the rules and pace of play, the time in between goals, the lack of true PxP's (not a knock on the current crews)maybe it just needs some tweaking like with Joe B does in Hockey or when he and Pete or Mark do a B1G lax game.DQKing wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 6:33 amAttendance being higher doesn't doesn't pass the eyeball test in my opinion.ALaudico7 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 12:36 pm https://twitter.com/Chris_Jast/status/1 ... 7336554499

Smaller stadiums this go round and it still looks dismal even with all the free ticket giveaways.
Oldest son and I attended week 1 Sunday at Gillette. Oldest and youngest son (former and current college players) and I attended Albany this past Sunday. It is a great product to watch live. Sons really enjoy it too. I generally watch all other games on tv or 'puter (I'm a bit of a lax junky as you can see from posting here at 8:42 on a Monday night). Much like I feel about the college game, I don't really care about its acceptance at large, I just want to have a game to watch.youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 8:03 pmIndeed.....they have a looooong way to go.

Maybe the PLL should be a Fall sport and games would be prior to NFL kickoff....an opening act if you will, gain more traction...fans. Summertime is just too tough to fill any stadium in the US, unless you are baseball, and even they are having a tough time these days. Amazing how there is so little going on, and yet tv time is challenging. I suppose Peacock has some revenue stream for them.
There isn’t an “Atlanta team.” You’ve got it right, that it’s a traveling weekend of games.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 12:57 pm Anyone care to explain how the PLL works? My kids are interested, spent 20 min navigating the website but can’t tell which team is the Atlanta one. They are way too née to care about college names and into jerseys so this matters if I’m going to spend the money.
Is there a 2022 schedule. Looks like they host weekend round Robin tourneys in the coyotes involved. Does that mean the teams don’t hve any actual city affiliation?
We may all love college lacrosse but I think this “I the individual am a brand” nonsense of how this league is constructed is both late to the party and I’ll conceived. Hopefully someone can explain and this is not how it’s built out.
Perfect thanks - appreciate the download. We will probably go when they come to town but I wasn't prepared to explain it to my son based on what I could tell. Definitely root for Aslanian. Think there's 1-2 others in the PLL from Hobart could be wrong. But at least I can now explain it to my kids who, at 7 & 9, root for the "local" teams in general. And Hobart of course though they've yet to see a live game in Geneva but have run on Boswell with one of the former football Assistant coaches (Art Garvey). Hoping for a trip next spring and fall but it's a lot from Atlanta.DeepPocket wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 2:53 pmThere isn’t an “Atlanta team.” You’ve got it right, that it’s a traveling weekend of games.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 12:57 pm Anyone care to explain how the PLL works?

As far as the “individual being the brand,” I don’t see it as that. Some players who have developed a name for themselves are marketed accordingly.
It seemed, when the league first formed, that the teams were designed to have certain things to give them each an individual identity. Whether it be style of play, or a high number of players from a specific school etc.. As the years have gone, with trades and everything, those identities have faded a bit IMHO. And that’s fine, you’re a Hobart guy right? Find a team with a Hobart guy and root for them (Aslanian is on Whipsnakes). Find a team with a guy you hate, or from a college you hate, and root against them.
I find it entertaining, and am glad lacrosse is on my television more. (Whether or not it’s exactly as I would’ve done it)
No problem. I found myself in the same spot with my kids. I wanted them to get into it, but I myself couldn’t figure out who was “our” team when they asked. Found a guy from my school on a team and it was a done deal. My kids have been to enough York games where they themselves were able to feel a connection to the PLL team.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 5:00 pm
