That is striking to see with the visuals. I hope you share more of these in the future (Syracuse based of course)! Personally, I don't mind having the season start so early, that just means we get to watch lacrosse that much sooner. As a Syracuse fan it seems extra beneficial since a lot schools seem to want to play in the weather controlled Dome early in the season, so less road games for the Orange.

For the "good of the game" though it does seem silly to have the season start so early - watching crowds at Homewood in 30 degree weather does not look enjoyable.  Plus, most casual fans are most likely still focused on college basketball.  There is not a lot of coverage of lacrosse in general, but it seems to start with a whimper when the season starts in early Feb.

The best way to fix all this, to me, seems to involve moving the Final Four back past Memorial Day.  More games in better weather seems like a good thing to me, and you will get more fans in the seats.  But given the history and the tradition of the sport, this seems unlikely to happen.  I'm not sure what the answer is.
