The upstart Premiere Lacrosse League had its first big-time fan showing last weekend when reportedly 16,701 people were in attendance at Homewood Field of Johns Hopkins University during the course of three games.
June 22 marked the most important night for the league thus far, however, when a sellout crowd of about 10,000 fans packed the stadium to watch a night game between the Whipsnakes LC and Atlas LC. The teams are filled with former Maryland and Hopkins players, respectively.
Hopkins lacrosse icon, Atlas midfielder and PLL co-founder Paul Rabil views the weekend as an example of what the league could be if it continues on its current growth trajectory.
