In reply to: Any insight into why ND plays in Dallas? posted by doozie
I look forward to seeing them play and gaining a better appreciation for the game. It will be interesting to see what kind of a crowd attends. Probably some ND fans and area lacrosse junkies (if there are many) - hard to compete with football down here.
We had pretty good representation. I was surprised by how many Georgetown fans there were.
My favorite part was watching a young girl who plays soccer locally and her family chatting with the parents of one of the Stanford women. It really seemed to make the young girl's day.
They are trying to grow the game. UVa played in San Francisco during Fall Practice a couple of years ago. The ACC tournament was held at Disney World one year. This year we are scheduled to play Cornell in Costa Mesa, CA on March 11.
i think that has informally become an every other year thing
Against Georgetown in Atlanta (also the site of last year's ACC Tournament) and Maryland in Costa Mesa, CA. ND also played in Costa Mesa against Denver in 2014. When we were in the Big East, we played in the Meadowlands against Syracuse in 2013 and St. John's in 2012. And in 2011, we opened with a win over Duke at the Jaguars' stadium in Jacksonville.
