The 2012 National Lacrosse League season begins on Sunday. The league will field nine teams this year (with Boston folding last season) each playing 16 games. The Eastern Division consists of the Philadelphia Wings, Rochester Rattles, Buffalo Bandits, and Toronto Rock. The Western Division has the Colorado Mammoth, Washington Stealth, Edmonton Rush, Calgary Roughnecks, and Minnesota Swarm. This year every team except the one with the league's worst record will make the playoffs.

The launched a new website this year and landed a national TV contract on CBS Sports Network:
http://www.nll.com/
http://www.nll.com/news_article/show/127474?referrer_id=389123

In addition, all games are streamed live for free online:
http://new.livestream.com/nll

The Colorado Mammoth's first game is January 14. They will be retiring the jersey of Brian Langtry before the game. Langtry is the franchise's best and most recognizable player and he's spent his whole career here (his rookie year being the first year the Mammoth existed), so it'll be a big game. I'll be at that one for sure.

The Mammoth's game and TV schedule is here:
http://coloradomammoth.com/2012-schedule

The Calgary Roughnecks opened the season last night in Toronto against the defending champion Rock. Calgary got the road win in front of over 10,000 fans, 12-9. The rest of the league opens the season this Saturday.

The Mammoth play the Swarm at the same time as the Broncos/Patriots game, so I guess I will have to miss that one. Or maybe bring a portable TV into the arena with me.

Yeah, I don't care how interesting you find Lacrosse, nothing must stand in the way of playoff football when your team is involved.

No, I'm going to the lacrosse game. I bought six tickets (months ago as the game is now sold out) and this is the night they retire the best player in franchise history's jersey.

I'll bring a radio to keep up with the Broncos but I am not missing the Mammoth. I'm a much bigger football fan than lacrosse fan but I'd much rather be at a live event than watch my team (probably but hopefully not) get smashed on TV.

Now I'm wondering what the chances are that my portable digital TV will get good enough reception in the arena to watch the game.

I'm really hoping that the fans turn out for this game. It was sold out, so hopefully everyone doesn't just stay home. Langtry deserves a packed house for his jersey retirement.

They are now going to do the jersey retirement directly before face off, which means I will at least get to watch some of the Broncos game before ai have to scrotum snort to the arena.

What a game. Mammoth won 20-14. The jersey retirement was awesome. So glad I was there to see it in person.

Jon Grant Jr had an 11 point night and I got to see at least three fucking ridiculous goals.

Langtry's retirement speech was pretty funny... seems like a cool dude. I caught a replay of the game and it seemed like a good one to go to.

If you have never been to a box lacrosse game you have no room to speak.


Also, you like soccer. Which means you also pee sitting down and drink gay, unpronounceable variations of coffee.

The announced attendance was about 14,600. It looked closer to 11-12,000, but it was still a lot better crowd than I expected considering this is a Broncos town and the team was in the second round.
