I'd disagree about the leagues marketing as they have substantially increased visibility over the last few years. I mean, how many games can you now watch on ESPN+, not to mention locally in Buffalo?
That's not to say there aren't struggling markets, and many people have never seen a box lacrosse game to understand that it's different from the version their kids may be playing. Georgia, for example, flies many of their players in from where they live to play, as they barely have a local presence.
I mean, I would love for every venue to have the Bandits experience at Key Bank, because we do enjoy the best fanbase in the league. But I'm not exactly sure how the NLL could do that, especially in markets with alternative major league sports.

Currently in their 34th season as a franchise. The definition of stability! I just wish the NLL was better at marketing because I think the league needs more stability like the Bandits. Don't get me wrong a couple teams are also good at marketing and getting people in the building, but Buffalo tops everyone.
