Orlando Titans Pro Lacrosse Game
Apparently Orlando got a professional lacrosse team in 2009. Somehow I stumbled upon this information a couple months ago and decided to attend a game as one of my "new experiences". What is lacrosse? I didn't really know much about the sport other than it was a bunch of guys running around with stick attempting to score points by throwing the ball into the other team's goal. Or something like that. So I recruited two girlfriends and we were off to check it out. Last night the Orlando Titans played the Calgary Roughnecks (who makes these names up!??!), and bowed down in defeat with a final score of 13-6. Despite the loss, we had fun. The fan base was scarce... maybe because they are so new? But I was surprised to see quite a few people tailgating before the game in the parking lot. College or Pro Football games this is a normal part of the experience, but a lacrosse game?! I guess so. Anyway, it was interesting to say the least. Sparse crowds (lower level only open in arena, and not even half of that was filled), food and drink options were minimal (at best) and there were visitors from Start Wars (Darth Vadar anyone?). Interesting to say the least. Not sure I'd go back again.. especially considering in the 3rd period all three of us had our blackberries out and were tapping away. ADD anyone?!
Game Time!
Me, Jasmine and Bhartie watching the game
Even Darth Vadar and his Star Wars friends are apparently lacrosse fans!
