Can't Stop The Rock
Lacrosse is where it's at. Jeannette and I have had season tickets to the Toronto Rock lacrosse club for the last 3 or 4 years now. If you've never watched lacrosse, check out Rogers Sportsnet (ususally friday/saturday games) schedule and watch a game. Def. the best sports deal in town. Much faster pace than baseball or basketball, cheaper by far than a leafs game.
I'm just blown away by the fact that the ACC gets lie 16,000+ fans for a Rock game, and the rest of the league averages like half that.
We had tickets to the All Star game on saturday. Watching the best players from the league whoop it up in front of the crowd, showing off and making some spectacular plays was awesome. I think it was the second most exciting game I've seen – the first being the championship game from last year.
The thing that bugs me is the Rock get very little press... They are the winnigest franchise in toronto in the last number of years (5 championships in 6 or 7 years in the league), but I guess because these guys are not "pros" in the sense that they have other jobs (one of the defense for the Rock is a Durham Region ETF cop, many are teachers too) and are not owned my Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment they are not as important?? It's crap if you ask me.
At least you won't have to give up your arm, a leg and your first born to get Rock tickets like you would to get GOOD leaf tickets.
-end rant.
Andy and I are going gokarting with some of the Guys from The Pocket Rocket volkswagen group. should be fun! I'll keep you posted.
later.
