What would be your ideal lacrosse venue in perfect world?

so hey PLU....isnt it true that you guys called a penalty on BSU for the turf field and how it wasnt the right size...? Mosy enjoyable experince? Penalty? i dunno

Last time I checked - the opposing team did not have the authority to throw any penalty flags.

The Ags became bright in the 90's-when they used flour to line the field instead of tape!

But don't they have to bring it up to the refs? The refs then check to see if both coaches agree to waive the waiveable rule. If the visitors don't want to, 3 min NR.

Bob Duggan can clarify the procedure, but the officials should automatically check all the field setup rules that are in the rule book. If one of the waivable rules is not in compliance, they should check with the home coach to see if it can be changed. If not, they should check with the visiting coach to see if he agrees to waive it. If he doesn't (which would be pretty bush-league, but perfectly within his rights), then it's a 3 minute plus a 30 second, so the home team would start down 2 men.

We have this issue in Oosterbaan, and we make our limitations clear to visiting teams when we schedule them, and have them sign a contract acknowledging the changes.

Only the rules listed in the rule book as waivable can be waived! Most rules are not negotiable. Things like legal goals must be enforced, even if the visiting coach says he's willing to waive them. It's not a choice he has. Non-compliant uniforms is another one, although that one is not penalty serving necessarily. The player with a non-compliant uniform is simply not allowed on the field. If he goes anyway, I suppose that would be a penalty every time he steps on.

I really enjoy being as close to the field as we get at Oosterbaan Fieldhouse. I don't know if that's typical or not, but it sure adds alot to my enjoyment of the game. As long as I keep heads up for flying balls and bodies.

They don't play lacrosse here, but it's right down the road from UCSB and the prettiest sports stadium I've ever seen.

[laxative]

I used to watch my older brother play football at SBCC in that stadium. It was sweet. Beautiful stadium views, beautiful town, craziest parties ever.

[TexOle]

If it is such a great field, then why are the lines curved? Ok, I know it is from the camera, but I thought someone needed to be that guy.

I think my ideal playing venue would be somewhere where there is actually grass....that would be awesome
