There’s been an exciting development in the world of professional lacrosse! You have the opportunity to witness the opening game of just the 2nd season of the Premier Lacrosse League. Their season opener will take place at Gillette Stadium on May 29th, 2020.

This story from https://www.premierlacrosseleague.com tells a bit about how this unique league came to be:

The Premier Lacrosse League today announced its entrance in the sports world, bringing fast-paced action, the world’s top players, unprecedented access to the game for fans in venue and at home, and a unique tour-based model to professional lacrosse. Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) will deliver what the lacrosse community has been seeking: a true home for the sport with the best players, a strong business model, significant financial support, national media coverage through an exclusive agreement with NBC Sports Group, and a unique touring structure that will better serve players and fans.

Premier Lacrosse League, which is co-founded by the sport’s most high-profile player and personality, Paul Rabil, along with his brother, serial entrepreneur and investor, Mike Rabil, will provide players with full-time wages, equity in PLL, and benefits – becoming the first major North American professional team sports league that offers equity to the players.
