The National Lacrosse League is North America's professional indoor lacrosse league, featuring the best lacrosse players in the world. The Swarm is currently in its second season of play in NLL and plays in the East Division along with the Buffalo Bandits, Philadelphia Wings, Rochester Knighthawks and defending champion Toronto Rock. Professional indoor lacrosse combines the physical play of hockey with the high scoring, fast pace and play-making style of basketball. Indoor lacrosse is played inside the confines of an ice hockey rink, with glass and rink boards intact. The two teams combine to score a total of 25 goals in the average NLL game.

Minnesota Swarm home regular season single game tickets are available in all price categories and range from $12.00 to $27.00 per game. 4-game LAX Pax's are also available and start at $44.00. For more information on becoming a Minnesota Swarm season ticket holder please call (888) MN-SWARM.
