Check out the Bayhawks
The Bayhawks franchise played its first six seasons in Baltimore before moving to the Washington, D.C. area for the 2007 season. The franchise has won two MLL championships, one in 2002, the second in 2005. The Bayhawks play their home games at George Mason Stadium, which is located on the campus of George Mason University in the heart of Fairfax, Virginia. There's plenty of free parking available. For the 2008 season, single game tickets for adults cost $24 and youths (12 and under) cost $19. A program costs $1. The crowd at the game consisted mostly of families with kids with their lacrosee sticks in attendance. There were several booths/vendors at the game, including Six Flags, Commerce Bank and Triple Edge Lacrosse. At the Six Flags booth, there was a wheel that you could spin to win prizes like a mini frisbee, skateboard key chain or a free pass to Six Flags. Commerce Bank is a Championship Partner with the Bayhawks. Several times during the game, the PA announcer would announce that the first person to show up at the Commerce Bank booth wearing a Bayhawks hat/jersey/t-shirt would win a fantastic prize. I'll be better prepared the next time I attend a Bayhawks game :-)What about food and bathrooms? I saw two food vendors at the game. One sold normal, sporting-event fare, including hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken tenders, lemonade, soda and funnel cakes. In addition, Domino's pizza was selling soda and pizza by the slice. How can you go wrong with deep-fried dough covered with powdered sugar? The prices for the food were reasonable (for a sporting event). Purchase a funnel cake, one cup of lemonade and a bottle of coke for $11. As far as bathrooms are concerned, there were plenty of porta-potties.There were a handful of VIP and other hospitality tents on the side opposite the stands. For an extra $5 per ticket, you could purchase a VIP wristband which allowed you to be closer to the action. Given how fast those lacrosse balls can fly, I felt a lot safer sitting in the stands far away and above the action. Before the game, we stood behind a net behind one of the goals that the players were shooting on. One piece of advice: Stand a few feet behind the net and pay attention.The game consisted of four 15-minute quarters. Games start at 7:00PM and was finished around 9:00PM. The Bayhawks players and coaches came over to the sidelines after the game and signed autographs for everyone who wanted one. So, I've discussed many of the fun things about our Bayhawks adventure yesterday. What about not-so-fun things? Well, the stands face west and, at 7:00PM, the sun was directly in our faces. Wear a hat and/or sunglasses for an early evening game at GMU stadium. The admissions price is a bit high. We spent about $90 between the three of us. Besides those two (minor) things, I highly recommend attending a Bayhawks game next season.
