Mark Burdett says it's time to turn up the heat.
The president of the Chesapeake Bayhawks has been beating the drums for his Major League Lacrosse franchise's proposal to build a 10,000-seat stadium and 20-field lacrosse complex on the grounds of the former Crownsville Hospital Center in Anne Arundel County.
The Bayhawks, who have been an MLL member since the league's inception in 2001, currently play at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, and the new development project is a chance, Burdett said, for the county he grew up in and still lives in to keep its only professional sports team, while addressing a critical need for recreational fields.
