US Lacrosse says it is donating 600 tickets -- I hear the number is more like 700 now -- for the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships to "non-traditional youth players" in Baltimore. That is, kids whose families can't the $50 or $60 weekend package of tickets for the championship weekend. The donation is for tickets to the two Division I semifinal games at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday, May 26. The event’s organizing committee, Lax4Baltimore, believes they'll have the first-ever sellout of the event.
Here's more from the US Lacrosse announcement:
US Lacrosse has targeted the tickets for participants in its BRIDGE Affiliates program, Equipment Grants program and Diversity program. "We’re very pleased to be able to make this opportunity available to youth players in the city of Baltimore, and appreciate the cooperation of several partners in this effort," said Beth Reisinger, director of sport development for US Lacrosse. "Having these youth players experience the excitement of the championship in person is consistent with our mission to inspire participation and embrace the passion of the game."
Among the allotment, 100 ticket packages will be distributed offering a ticket for each day of the (three-day) event. The remaining 500 tickets will just be available for Saturday’s semifinal doubleheader. US Lacrosse, a 501(c)(3) corporation, is the national governing body for men's and women's lacrosse and includes more than 215,000 active members.
