When are we going to get a Lacrosse team. We really

need one. We already have a great stadium for it. Riggs Field is perfect and lacrosse and soccer are played at two different times of year. Honestly, I think I enjoy watching lacrosse more than soccer. IT is a sport that is getting more and more tv time in ESPN and will increase with the ACC Network. GEt it done CLemson! You can do it!

A lacrosse field would take up to many parking spots!

….Clemson's club team. they are consistently very good. My son played Club at App State and they played Clemson. It is fun. To your point it would be a cheap addition and you can add a women's team at the same time. All can be played at Riggs. It has my vote for my IPTAY money!

Club Lacrosse. It was my freshman year and we got going in the spring of 1975. Fritz Waidner, a local car dealer, was our coach. I remember calling his house once and asking to speak with Coach Waidner. His wife had no idea who that was.
It was a hoot trying to teach some good ol' boys the game.

For those with no little of Lacrosse, The use of Riggs field would not impact parking. Great sport - had 3 sons that played in HiSchool - one all-state in NJ. Have 2 G'sons playing in B'ham & Hilton Head. Probably fastest growing sport in the south. Great tradition for f'ball players that aren't quite D1 football. FYI - Jim Brown was all american at both. I know - who's he.

The "fastest growing sport" cliche.
Lacrosse is very regional and peaks at the college level.

The only thing you and Clemson have in common is you and your other alias’ continual trolling of its fan site.

I’m not sure giant success would happen. I don’t watch a lot of lacrosse but I know how good Duke, Syracuse, UNC, and several other ACC schools are.
At least we would know what the rest of the conference feels like playing football.

We already know how the rest of the conference feels playing us in football.
Reference Tiger Men’s Basketball since 1953.

Hey, I'm okay with that, but I'm just not sure it would go over in a football Mecca like Clemson. Even a niche sport like Lacrosse isn't cheap.

It's a great game! There is so much more to it than hitting with sticks. As a matter of fact, that often results in a penalty. If you have never seen one live, you should go before giving it a negative review. I agree with those who said that it would simply take a field and 2 goals. Most kids have their own sticks. Helmets and uniforms would be minimal. If there is a tile IX issue, women's lacrosse could be added, as well.

however I wouldn't hold your breath on it being added as a sport at Clemson any time soon. I don't think we want to face the likes of UNC, Duke, Syracuse, and Notre Dame lol

Fast growing sport, no stadium construction needed, and a perfect for Clemson’s student body and conference affiliation.

This "regional" sport is not the norm now. Was in Columbia (didn't mean to swear) last summer for a youth tournament - over 100 teams participated. Expand you paradigms.

Just like every other recent decision, they may add a women's team but will never add a men's team.

I do not see it happening. It would mess up or men to women athlete ratio. Then you pour money into a nonrevenue sport. I just don’t see it. Get softball going. Then fix men’s basketball which IS broken.

I went to a professional match in Atlanta and left early we were so bored out of our skulls. And Atl won the so called title lol Those with kids playing are the only who really care about it.
Let's dip more into the football revenue. NOT!

Pretty sure that's one of those sports yankees play in their private catholic schools. Which means we'd have to bring in even more yankees in to fill out a team. Bring back wrestling instead

Get it straight. It’s the elite WASP boarding schools that play it. Known as Lax bros, arrogant and entitled, and I for one have zero interest in it.
