The City of Denver was tabbed “Best Overall Lacrosse Town” and “Best Lacrosse Pro Town” in the October issue of Inside Lacrosse

DENVER – The City of Denver was voted No. 1 by Inside Lacrosse as the “Best Overall Lacrosse Town” and the “Best Pro Lacrosse Town” it was unveiled in its October issue.

According to the article, Inside Lacrosse searched the globe for the 10 best lacrosse towns hoping to find places with a unique blend of great lacrosse culture, successful teams and an ever-growing enthusiasm for the game.

The City received a 99 percent rating for its professional lacrosse teams that include NLL’s Colorado Mammoth and MLL’s Denver Outlaws. The City also received a college rating of 90 percent and a high school rating of 96 percent.

According to the article, the City of Denver is considered “a professional mecca.”
“The NLL’s Colorado Mammoth (’06 league champs) regularly sell out Pepsi Center. Come summer, fans head to Invesco Field at Mile-High to watch the Outlaws draw MLL’s best crowds.

Don’t forget the college game either. University of Denver made all-decade-worthy news this summer by hiring Bill Tierney, while Colorado State, in nearby Fort Collins, is a four-time MCLA champ.

Top high school teams like Kent Denver and Cherry Creek have held their own against the country’s best for years. And youth lacrosse is continuing to explode — the Colorado Youth Lacrosse Association, started in 1991 with two squads in Denver, has expanded to 275 teams.”
