As a huge lacrosse fan, I’ve been following this tournament. We are very fortunate to have BOTH Holmans (father & son), Manny, and Ghitelman on our staff. They’re fantastic players, coaches, and recruiters. And seeing as how they’re all on the same team, it’s easy to root for the Archers.
That said, I wonder how much longer the PLL plans on being some “traveling circus” group. Since they’re aiming to one-up the MLL with better compensation packages, they’ll ultimately have to settle down in a city. My current assumption is that rather than establishing a team in a city first, they’re looking to establish a fanbase before they set down roots, to determine which cities would be the most ripe for planting. In MLL, the Philadelphia Barrage were actually transplants from Bridgeport, CT, where they’d played their first 3 seasons prior to moving. PHL then proceeded to win back-to-back national championships in ’06 and ’07…
…and then moved…to nowhere in particular, as they were seeking another Home base. Philadelphia finally resurrected our shuttered team in 2020. Perhaps the PLL is looking to avoid the expense of all the moving.
