The professional sports scene continues to grow in Las Vegas with the addition of lacrosse. The Las Vegas Desert Dogs’ inaugural season will start on Friday, December 16 at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay. The team is owned by top athletes Wayne Gretzky, Steve Nash, and Dustin Johnson along with the governor of the NBA Brooklyn Nets, Joe Tsai.
Lacrosse
Fans can watch the Desert Dogs play ‘Box Lacrosse,’ which is on a hockey rink lined with turf instead of ice. The game is made up of four fifteen-minute quarters, similar to football, but plays out more like a hockey game. Five players and a goaltender from each are allowed on the field at one time, but players rotate in and out taking shifts throughout the whole game.
