RyanMcD29 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Ehh, not surprising really to hear. The Titans and the New Jersey and Long Island MLL teams really don't do that well here, and it's such a lacrosse hotbed too. But that's probably where the problem comes from, with all the high school field lacrosse programs and then the huge number of college teams around here, it pretty much dilutes the market, plus field lacrosse is much more popular than box in the area Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well, at least the Orlando Titans (assuming they keep their current identity) should endear themselves to all the University of Florida alums in the area with their color scheme. Other Florida-based Division I schools, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Is box lacrosse played much at all in the USA? I know field lacrosse is very popular in the Northeast, but I don't know of any box lacrosse infrastructure in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer15 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Does anybody know the attendance figures for that "Florida Cup" game the Rock played against the Titans?

Viper Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Does anybody know the attendance figures for that "Florida Cup" game the Rock played against the Titans?It was 5,733, which is actually pretty impressive considering that it took place right around the same time as the Orange Bowl, the BCS title game and a Dolphins home playoff game.

Viper Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Bumped, as the move finally became official today.On the team's new Web site, notice that they have also tweaked the primary logo, replacing the Empire State Building-shaped spike at the top with a more generic-looking spike.

WJMorris3 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Maybe the Wings are the next to move? They've never been good, nor supported well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Maybe the Wings are the next to move? They've never been good, nor supported well.Well, if the NLL Insider forums are any indication there does seem to be a fan revolt brewing in Philly, over their ticket price restructuring for 2010. (Apparently they're closing the upper deck of Wachovia Center and jacking up ticket prices in most of the lower bowl.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB61 Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Maybe the Wings are the next to move? They've never been good, nor supported well.Um, Will?The Wings have won the most championships in league history, they're the only team to be around in their original form for all twenty-three seasons of EPBLL/MILL/NLL play, they're continuously at or near the top of the attendance figures, and they're probably the best drawing of all of the "minor" clubs in the area.Unless the fans stay away in droves this year, I can't see the Wings going anywhere.
