Gillette would be happy to have a tenant in there.  They host low attendance events, because it's better than being vacant.  SU lacrosse played an NCAA quarterfinal game there - not well attended; MD played boring slowdown and won 5-3.  It's also a comfortable place for fans; pro tip: you can get tickets in the club seats section for games like this.

SU lacrosse also won 2 Natty's in that building.  SU fans helped set the NCAA all-time attendance record for the NCAA Lax semis in 2008 (48,970).

SU would have more fans at a game in Gillette than UMass.  And the attendance will be higher than McGuirk's capacity.  If they play in Amherst, you'll have a good view, [B]if you can get a ticket[/B].  It's [SIZE=1]small[/SIZE].

I saw SU lax play in McGuirk twice since the mid-1990s.  Really nice for lacrosse.  I was also at the BC FB game in Sullivan/Schaefer stadium.  Another stellar game by Doug Flutie put them on top in a competitive game.  Two years earlier, Flutie led them to a late come-from-behind win over SU in Alumni Stadium.  Shades of what was to come in Miami 2 years later.
