Notre Dame Men’s Lacrosse: Irish fall 11-10 to the Terps down in Atlanta

When Native Americans invented the game of lacrosse, their fields could be upwards of 2,000 yards long. With no out of bounds, sometimes 1,000 Native Americans would be on each team and the games would last for days. A college lacrosse field’s dimensions are 110 yards x 60 yards. Ten players on each team line up against each other going to battle for 60 minutes.

Both versions of the Creator’s Game are special and if you are lucky enough to suit up or just be near to watch, you understand the nature of the sport, the ferocity, the speed, the relentlessness, the passion.
