Do they have the field mics away from the ND bench like they do for Petro?
Not sure but never understood why the ACC didn't invite Johns Hopkins as an associate member.Do they have the field mics away from the ND bench like they do for Petro?
Notre Dame has an enormous following? For college lacrosse? Have they ever even finished in the top ten in the country in attendance?
IIRC, the Twerps had the B1G ask them first.Not sure but never understood why the ACC didn't invite Johns Hopkins as an associate member.
Arlotta doesn't have the capacity as most other big programs but they fill up and draw well for their location. They have stands behind the bench and then a hill across that fills up with students and others.Notre Dame has an enormous following? For college lacrosse?

Might be so...but JHU made a ton of sense right after Maryland announced it was bolting.IIRC, the Twerps had the B1G ask them first.
Agreed...they draw decent to very good for big games in passable weather.Arlotta doesn't have the capacity as most other big programs but they fill up and draw well for their location. They have stands behind the bench and then a hill across that fills up with students and others.
It looks like SU/JHU won't make ESPNU this year. Hopefully it will be ESPN2.Wouldn't read to much into this, SU is usually on ESPNU 3+ times a year as well and probably will be again this year. The ND Game, JHU and UVA are probably locks with Duke and the UNC game not far behind. Maybe even an outside shot at SU/Albany but I wouldn't count on that one.

That game has been televised for at least a decade, Id be shocked if it wasn't on TV.
It was ESPN3 last yearThat game has been televised for at least a decade, Id be shocked if it wasn't on TV.
That was half-assed. All kinds of conjecture and assumptions. Why not wait until all the information is out before crowning ND the king of anything other than South Bend?
Arlotta has 2500 seats. The biggest crowd they have ever had there is 4522. Syracuse averages more than their biggest crowd ever most years.Arlotta doesn't have the capacity as most other big programs but they fill up and draw well for their location.

You're, of course, right. Arlotta is the smallest. The Dome is obviously the biggest; Fetzer Field (UNC) and Koskinen Stadium ( uke) both have had total crowds of 7,000; and Klockner Stadium has had an 8,000 total. The ND site says the max is 4,500.Arlotta has 2500 seats. The biggest crowd they have ever had there is 4522. Syracuse averages more than their biggest crowd ever most years.
Good idea to have such a small facility for a program with so few fans.

Perhaps even more to do with the state of Hopkins lax.This story has more to do about the state of Syracuse lax than ND lax.
That sounds true. I just remember when Syracuse Lax was the equivalent of Bama football or Kentucky basketball. I guess those days are over.Perhaps even more to do with the state of Hopkins lax.
Looking at preseason polls: FO - #5 Denver, #6 ND, #9 Syracuse, #11 JHU
The article sounds like another Hopkins' fan whining. He doesn't know for sure that JHU-Syracuse won't be broadcast.
It's nice to talk about stadium attendance, and many will be in the dome for the JHU game, but here we are talking about nationwide TV appeal. Notre Dame has a large TV appeal. Lax equipment seems like a major advertiser on these games; kids in CO, CA, TX, ... need equipment too.
Notre Dame definitely gets a lot of favoritism, and that is why many of us can't stand them. Nothin' new.
I think the TV audience for college lacrosse is different than the one for college football. People watch college lacrosse games because they love lacrosse. Syracuse is, with the possible exception of Hopkins, the biggest name in college lacrosse. Notre Dame is not in the top 5, probably not in the top 10.Perhaps even more to do with the state of Hopkins lax.
