    So he's suggesting that this fantasy MLS soccer team try to get pimply face morons who like loud bad music blaring while watching sports as their fans? Well I guess they must have the greatest number in Toronto as NLL crowds in the other Canadian cities are bad and dropping off quickly.

    What are the other Canadian Lacrosse teams called? Also, are there any American NLL teams?

    The official website is at:

    This is also an "extreme" style league. That is they play bad music while the game is being played and basically do anything to drown out the fans.

    I don't know how Toronto draws what they do (winning probably helps) but every other Canadian team (and some of the Americans) are hurting at the gate. Vancouver players have already missed a paycheque this season and last Friday night had to resort to a scummy promotion to try to draw fans.

    Yes last Friday night was "bustier" night. Women were asked to show up in red, black, or white bustiers. The sluttiest dressed women with their hooters popping out would win prizes. This resulted in the smallest crowd of the season, of less than 5000 (although they announced 7000+). Which I suppose one could surmise that the lacrosse fans in Vancouver are not the hormonally charged ones that the promotion was aiming for. Either that or many fans wives and girlfriends wouldn't let them attend!

    The one thing Toronto has comapred to other cities is deep pockets. The Rock are owned by MLE.

    Can't see them surviving if MLE pulls out.

    Sounds a lot like when the Drillers did the same thing. At least in that case it wasn't overkill.
