SAINT PAUL, Minn. - The National Lacrosse League's (NLL) Minnesota Swarm today announced its contest on Sunday, March 27 against the Buffalo Bandits on Treasure Island Field at Xcel Energy Center will air LIVE on national television on VERSUS.

The game's start time has been moved to 1 p.m. CST in order to accommodate a national television audience.

"We're extremely excited that the National Lacrosse League has selected Minnesota for a live, nationally televised game on VERSUS," Swarm Owner John Arlotta said. "This not only gives us an opportunity to showcase the Minnesota Swarm professional lacrosse franchise, but is also a great chance for the community to demonstrate the explosive growth of lacrosse in Minnesota."
