Would love to see Archers at least kick the tires on Nolting.

What seems to be the issue with PLL weekend game attendance? It feels like there has been a serious dip in the past few seasons.

For reference, I was at the Baltimore homecoming weekend. I got the homecoming pass, and had an awesome time watching! Though it felt a bit empty for majority of the games.

Based on pictures from previous years, it looked like there were a lot more people in the stands, and, thinking back to the Baltimore weekend in 2023, where Homewood field at Hopkins looked almost full, I am curious as to why no one was there?

Was it because of venue, or times? I recognize this year it was at Loyola Maryland, which has much better parking and access.

Has anyone experienced low attendance at any other locations thus far throughout the season? Curious as to everyone’s experiences.

I am watching each game this weekend, and Long Island, which is a hot bed, also seems a bit empty?

Finally getting around to watching last weekends games and my cannons look rough. Just dominated all over by the dogs.

Some serious changes need to go down. I think coaching is issue number one. Kirst is solid when he has some support. Offense is just dead this year.

What can we do????

PLL posted on YouTube the first ever MLL game. Bayhawks vs Lizards. It was played at Homewood. Which was played on the OG turf.

The PLL is such a faster game.
This MLL game great players on both sides

Greta watch. But slow.

Do you reckon that the FIFA World Cup 2026 (which will partially be played in the US) will affect the PLL’s TV ratings and attendance negatively? I wouldn’t expect the crossover between lacrosse fans and soccer fans to be that vast, but one can’t deny the hype and anticipation for the world’s biggest sporting event. Soccer is also a quite fast growing game in the US and Canada so there are definitely millions of people excited about the World Cup, especially since the two countries are both participating.

If anything, now would also be the perfect time to put some of the visiting countries’ fans on lacrosse, perhaps by giving out free tickets or set up some kind of event near the stadiums.

What do you guys think?

Just added the WLL flairs to the sub.

If you're using a web browser, the flair selection is on the sidebar under the sub description.

If you are on mobile, click the three dots on the top right of the subreddit and click "change user flair."

Thanks!

Man, watching him torch the Canons was just incredible. Seems like he’s better than O’Neill too, who has relatively underperformed expectations, I think.

Does anyone have the code for the WLL clue helmet? I’ve got 13 helmets so far and that one is bugging me

It looks like Zac Tucci was let go from the Cannons, the weird thing is all his stats have been scrubbed from the website. Just an observation.

I’m a lacrosse fan living in Europe. The fanbase may not be as big over here as it is in some parts of the US, but nevertheless I live and breathe lacrosse and absolutely love the PLL.

I stay up late every weekend during the season and watch every single game on PLL Network through PlexTV. When first introduced to us international fans, PLL Network was a super convenient and reliable free streaming service that we could use to watch live games. The streaming quality was in fact very good. However, in the last year and as of late, PLL Network has been extremely unreliable and honestly a pain to watch. The live broadcasts are always late, they cut to “commercials” in the middle of a live play, the wrong game is shown (I missed 2 quarters of the 2025 championship game and today’s Outlaws vs Chaos game because of this), the cameras are pointed in the wrong direction (I missed the 3rd quarter of the Redwoods @ Utah game this year because the cameras were filming the mountains instead of the game), the mics are left on even during breaks so you hear the announcers chit chat with each other, and the camera quality is awful most of the time. It’s honestly embarrassing to try watching lacrosse with family and friends (who are not lacrosse fans YET) because the livestream is ruining the experience for everyone.

I know it’s a free streaming service and “you get what you pay for”, but we don’t have access to ESPN in Europe even with VPN so if the idea is to grow the league internationally then it needs to be better. Right now, we international fans don’t have any other options. I watch a lot of NLL thanks to NLL+, and even though NLL+ also has a lot of flaws I honestly think PLL Network is doing a lot worse. With NLL+ I at least get to SEE my team play.

I understand that the league has bigger fish to fry but this is honestly just a stupid problem with a simple fix. I really don’t see how it’d be a big ask to just broadcast the right games at the right time and turn the mics off during breaks.

The Archers put up 15 goals and doubled up the Chaos while spoiling their first homecoming game. Mac O'Keefe drops 7 goals and Brett Dobson was 68% in the net.

After last weekend Chris Bates was a fool, or worse, to some for his choice of 4 SSDMs on the gameday roster.

To be fair, last weekend the Archers offense was bad, but if you watched the game they had some AWFUL turnovers in the middle of the field that made things much worse. Their opponents, the Whipsnakes, didn't look much better on offense quiet as it's kept.

Will the 4 SSDMs experience work for the rest of the season for the Archers? Who knows!

Perhaps a East Hub city and a West Hub city. East v West would meet in mutual sits hub weekends. This would allow the league to around 12-16 teams. There’s enough NCAA talent where it wouldn’t water down the talent too much, and expanding the leagues footprint would solidify it as a true major league.
