Major League Lacrosse announces 2007 schedule
January 9, 2007 - Major League Lacrosse (MLL) News Release
Boston, MA (January 9, 2007) - Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, today announced the schedule for its seventh season of outstanding action, according to MLL Commissioner David Gross. Each MLL team will play 12 games with Boston and Washington opening the season on May 12th in the nation's capitol.
"The 2006 season was our most exciting one yet as we set numerous attendance records and we expect to build on that in 2007," said Gross. "We think some of the new rivalries that began developing in 2006 will really rise this season. Particularly in the Western Conference where teams play each other three times. Last year San Francisco did not become the fourth team to qualify for Championship Weekend until they overcame a fourth quarter eight-goal deficit to beat Chicago 16-15 in OT. We expect the same competitiveness from all of our teams in 2007."
MLL will debut its 2007 season in Washington D.C. as the Boston Cannons travel to take on the Bayhawks for the first MLL action in D.C. The second week of the season there will be four games. The top game could be in Chicago where the Machine hosts Los Angeles at Toyota Park, the Machine's new home.
The third week of the season the Rochester Rattlers and Long Island Lizards make their 2007 debuts. New Jersey will play in Los Angeles for the first time while San Francisco will be making its first pilgrimage to Philadelphia.
The Warrior Major League Challenge and MLL Draft will occur after week three (May 30th). Other schedule highlights include Chicago at Denver on the fourth of July. The Outlaws set the MLL attendance record last year (15,981) when they played on July 1st. This year's game will again be followed by fireworks. There will be two games played on July 5th before MLL takes the weekend off for the All Star Game on July 8th.
The MLL Championship Weekend will conclude the 2007 season on the weekend of August 25th-27th.
