  Major League Lacrosse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Major League Lacrosse is a professional field lacrosse league played in the United States.
MLL was founded by Jake Steinfeld, Dave Morrow and Tim Robertson in 1999.
MLL rules that differ from traditional lacrosse rules include: a two-point goal line 15 yards from each goal, a 60-second shot clock, a limit of three long-stick defensemen per team, the elimination of the restraining box and the release of all players on the face-off.

 twobitme: Major League Lacrosse
Lacrosse is a fast-paced team sport played by two teams of ten players for men or twelve players for women each who use netted sticks (called the crosse) in order to pass and catch a rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal.
Lacrosse is especially popular in the northeastern part of the US and is Canada's national summer sport.
Native American Lacrosse was characterized by a deeply spiritual involvement, and those who took part did so with dedicated spirit and with the goal of bringing glory and honour to themselves and their tribes.

 Moving up to the big leagues - The Boston Globe
MLL founder Jake Steinfeld has been impressed with the steady gains his league has made since Gross took control of the MLL's day-to-day operations in December.
Riding what Gross predicts will be an explosion in lacrosse's popularity over the next few years, the MLL will double in size to 12 teams by 2008, adding four franchises in 2006 and two more two years later.
As far as the MLL's television deal goes, Gross admits that while the league's 12-game, tape-delayed package on ESPN2 isn't ideal, he is excited that the MLL championship game, to be played Aug. 22 at Boston University's Nickerson Field, will be broadcast live for the first time.

A year ago, Major League Lacrosse founder Jake Steinfeld made one of the more storied moves in the brief history of his league when he announced that the MLL Championship Game would be held hundreds of miles from the nearest MLL City in Columbus, Ohio.
For the league to stay "major" in terms of sponsorship and public perception, it seemingly has little choice but to test the western waters, whether it means new franchises or moving some of the existing ones-particularly if there is a commitment from major venues.
Lacrosse in Colorado and Ohio is beginning to reach the heights that have been attained in New York and Maryland and perhaps the addition of the league could put a bigger charge into the lacrosse booms in these areas.
