The Biggest Stage in Sports

As we know the Super Bowl just passed yesterday. This once a year game is undoubtedly the biggest sporting event of the year for any sport. People are glued to their TV's or desperately trying to get tickets or looking for somewhere to watch this event. Men's College lacrosse is similar in a few ways. Little do many people know College lacrosse is a pretty big deal, at least here on the east it is. The NCAA tournament for lacrosse is all out excitement from the time it starts all the way down to the National Championship game. All three collegiate levels of the sport receive the same excitement, there is no drop of between divisions. Last year, the Final Four and National Championship Game were held in Philadelphia,PA. The turnout was amazing, vendors from every nearby business were present and thousands upon thousands of people. Now the Super Bowl is one day, the crowds for the tournament lasted an entire weekend. I even struck out trying to get tickets to one of the games. If lacrosse keeps growing as it is now, one day it may be the biggest stage in sports.
