The live Hangout will feature two interactive sessions with Merrill, one 10-minute segment prior to the start of the game and another at halftime, as part of the game's live broadcast on YouTube via The Lacrosse Network. Fans are encouraged to submit questions for Merrill through social media outlets such as Google+, Facebook, Twitter (using the #AskBrodie hashtag), and YouTube.
