Quite a class. If Lacrosse doesn’t work out, a few of them might have future in football.

We were never really in that game. Seems like Lars hasn’t settled on goalie or #1 middie line yet. The only upside is our D got a ton of work in that game as the Spiders had the ball on O much of the game with a slow deliberate offense to boot.

Does lax fill up the stadiums for these things these days? Only one I went to was way back in 1998 and Rutgers stadium still had plenty of elbow room. And that’s in a tourist hot spot like New Brunswick.

If its UVa v Maryland or Georgetown I could definitely see a pretty large crowd

Last two seasons they were getting 30-32k for the semis and finals at Lincoln Financial Field in Philly.

Feels like there should be enormous pressure on Lars & co to put together a team that will get there. Would be a massive crowd

Yeah attendance looks like it has declined. I saw us win the natty in 2006 but seeing now that was a bit of attendance at its peak.

In 1998, I think I saw about 17k on Wikipedia. Seems like maybe the sport had really big growth between mid 90s and late 2000s or so.
1999- 24k
2000- 23k
Yada yada — seems like it blew up in mid/late 2000s and then came back down to earth pre COVID and esp post COVID
I feel like in the mid-2010’s we saw some additional parity and schools from outside the mid-Atlantic start to compete on the national stage.
I wonder if that watered down the attendance and excitement. More than likely it’s just fan attendance is slipping across the board…rising prices, television, etc.
