Nobody cares about lacrosse. I'm sure its a game that is fun for you and you enjoy playing it... but nobody else cares. Adding lacrosse would hurt Title IX compliance, take money away from existing athletic programs that already have limited budgets, and nobody would care about lacrosse anyway. Season ticket package for lacrosse?!?!?! You would have to beg people to go to the games for FREE! Its a no brainer that lacrosse never becomes a varsity sport at Fordham. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: Lax 's message, "That's just plain wrong. We have sports that nobody ever goes to see such as baseball and really, few care about. Squash, Tennis, Rowing are all just going through the motions. A football-lacrosse season ticket package would work. A berth in tournament would be possible within 3 years. Our athletic department, sans football is moribound. We have losing records in conference in EVERY sport so far this year. That screams for a change to made ASAP." on 09:19:18 01/22/05 Sat

Go to a baseball game, they dont even charge admission, because NOBODY cares. Baseball is killing us with Title IX ,. Lose baseball gain lacrosse. I guess that selling out the Meadowlands for Lax playoffs every year is a fluke? You are clueless. (NT) Lax 11:13:31 01/22/05 Sat

Selling out the Meadowlands?!?!?! You're on glue! (NT) -- Hahahahahahahaha, 11:16:46 01/22/05 Sat

Syracuse averaged 36,573 last year and numbers were comparable for other local teams. Get a clue, do some research then sit in stands with 5 other fat guys and watch Fordham baseball while the coach milks us for another year on disability. (NT) -- Lax, 11:40:46 01/22/05 Sat

Syracuse averaged about 5,000 a game last year, not 36,573. That was there total attendance for the season. Get YOUR facts straight before you post. And that is the national championship school drawing that. And Fordham could get ranked nationally in that sport... you're right... cuz there are only like 50 friggin programs in the country! Reason = nobody cares about lacrosse (and unless you're from the Northeast, you don't even know what lacrosse is.... so there is no such thing as NATIONAL exposure for lacrosse). (NT) -- why am I even discussing such a stupid game?, 18:26:37 01/22/05 Sat

actually, Syracuse averaged 4500 a game as national champions (NT) -- I stand corrected, 18:34:09 01/22/05 Sat

http://www.laxpower.com/common/NCAA-Attendance.php Get some facts before sitting at a baseball game with no fans. (NT) -- Lax, 11:44:07 01/22/05 Sat

Wow, those are great baseball attendance figures 56 fans a game, 56!!!!!!!!!!! Does that include the homeless on Southern Blvd?? (NT) -- Lax, 13:45:57 01/22/05 Sat

Not sellout numbers at Meadowlands, not even close. But granted... more than I thought. But lacrosse at Fordham would not draw any more people than baseball currently does. (NT) -- Former Lacrosse Player, 18:12:52 01/22/05 Sat
