From an article in the Seattle P-I that many of you may have seen last Thursday. . . Obviously my vote would be for the Tacoma Dome. . . :lol:

Former Seahawks, Sonics exec places NLL bid for Seattle

P-I NEWS SERVICES

Jim Jennings, commissioner of the National Lacrosse League, said Wednesday he has received an application from Bob Whitsitt for a Seattle expansion team for the 2008 season.

Whitsitt is former president and general manager of the Sonics and Portland Trail Blazers and former president of the Seahawks whose son, Sean, played on the Harvard lacrosse team as a freshman.

"I'd say his chances of getting a franchise in Seattle are pretty good," Jennings said from his office in New York.

Lacrosse in the Tacoma Dome for $200, Alex

One of the perks of my job is I get to learn something new all the time.
The other day, for instance, I found out Tacoma could land a team in the National Lacrosse League, which plays an indoor version of North America’s oldest sport.

I did not know about the National Lacrosse League. For that matter, I did not know lacrosse was played indoors.

Maybe I need to get out more, so I can discover all the other sports that are in.

It’d be one thing if the National Lacrosse League – or NLL – was as new to the table as all those poker faces sitting around Chris Moneymaker. But the NLL has been in existence for 20 years, long enough to boast a Hall of Fame.
