i'm a RU fan and i'm not a fan of them playing in the big stadium. looks bad visually when watching on TV or online. never been to a maryland game but i'm sure it's a similar experience. i liked when RU played at Yurcak more - more lacrosse specific venues are more appealing. PSU, OSU, JHU, UM all have smaller, more visually appealing settings.LaxAllStars wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 8:01 am Playing games in large empty football stadiums….

As has been often restated here, they'd need a much larger stadium than the ones you mention. Maryland lacrosse averaged about 3.5k a game last year, but in the past for games against Hopkins and other rivalries, I've seen crowds of 15k. None of those newer & smaller facilities could fit the normal Maryland attendance, let alone the rivalry attendance - Panzer (PSU) sits 1.3k, OSU's is 2.1k, U-M is 2.0k. Not even close. Even Homewood won't work, even though it has 8.5k capacity, that's half of what's needed. Rutgers could do it - their 2023 attendance was 1.8k fyi.Njlaxx11 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 8:42 ami'm a RU fan and i'm not a fan of them playing in the big stadium. looks bad visually when watching on TV or online. never been to a maryland game but i'm sure it's a similar experience. i liked when RU played at Yurcak more - more lacrosse specific venues are more appealing.

i figured the attendance for maryland games would be high - didn't think it was that high! they might be the only team that should stay in the stadium then.PulpExposure wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 10:49 amAs has been often restated here, they'd need a much larger stadium than the ones you mention.

They'd need a new, large lacrosse stadium and that seems to be an expensive nice to have for a non-revenue sport and not a need to have. Even though it'd be real nice to have.
Good job calling those two out! Cuse was 1st in attendance at 4.2k a game in 2023, UVA was 2nd at 3.47k, Maryland was 3rd at 3.45k.Njlaxx11 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 11:33 ami figured the attendance for maryland games would be high - didn't think it was that high! they might be the only team that should stay in the stadium then.PulpExposure wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 10:49 amAs has been often restated here, they'd need a much larger stadium than the ones you mention.

Now that he can't troll about Tillman using stall ball anymore or him using the iPad, this is his new line. But just wait until everybody else chimes in if he doesn't shake Kevin Conry's hand long enough this year after their game in Ann Arbor endsWheels wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2023 10:29 pm I've got a plan, guys! Let's just ask Steve Biscotti to chip in $70M to build a lacrosse stadium. Come on, Steve. It's not that big of an ask. Sell your yacht and send the proceeds to College Park. Easy-peasy!
We'll then let Quint design it so he won't have anything to complain about after. He can even tell Maryland where to put the cameras so the angles are just right. Then he can work the journalism school to train the college students on how to be better broadcasters on the BTN+ streams.
Surely, then Quint would be happy and stop trolling Terps' fans. Surely....right?!
Credit to the Lax Allstar corporate poster for popping in to drop that link and the quote. Well done. Well done, indeed.
