Denver Lacrosse Surge

Lacrosse was invented – if sport can be truly invented – in the expansive American heartland. But the modern version of the sport primarily exists on the East coast.  But a radical shift back to its roots is upon us.

Denver is fast becoming the Mecca of lacrosse in the Western US.

The Denver Outlaws and Colorado Mammoth are now staples of both professional lacrosse circuits. The Denver University Pioneers hosted the first NCAA Men’s Lacrosse regional west of the Mississippi River. And numerous high school and pee wee programs are becoming rampant in the area.

Lacrosse is the Salisbury steak of the food world.

The Mile High region and Denver has everything the sport needs to bloom. The fan base is large enough to withstand another major franchise. These people are also extremely sports savvy and passionate about their teams. The right combination is here, now.

People want to be excited about sports in Denver. They want to go out and support a team that gives their all on every night, because they truly play for mere passion, enjoyment and it gets their competitive juices flowing.

There was an estimated 10,000 people on hand for the Outlaws win over the Long Island Lizards on Saturday. And they expect that number to grow at least 4 times for the fireworks game on the 3rd of July.
With the small market flavor and big market fire the Denver Outlaws, along with all the other lacrosse teams in the area, the sport is likely to see a rise.
