Just gonna pop in and say I'd love to see UND get a lacrosse team.
I used to live in Columbus Ohio, where my local high school had a team. I really started to love the sport there. Since I moved up to Minnesota, I was stuck with out a team until the Swarm came to the cities. This season the average attendance will finish at about 8k a game. There are a few reasons to this: 1) The Wild came back so people with nothing better to do with their sports dollars went back to the Wild. 2) Dates became harder.
In indoor lacrosse, the average fan is in their 20's, much younger than the average age of an NHL fan (or at least game-attender). I don't have the exact stats, but I believe it's higher for outdoor lacrosse.
There is definitely a cross over between lacrosse and hockey fan bases, but it's not exact. But it's close enough to be significant.
Adding lacrosse would give spring dates to the Alerus. And has it has been mentioned, being close to Canada could be big for the team.
Speaking purely as a fan of the sport, I hope you add lacrosse.
