Re-LAX in Maryland this Summer

If you have ever questioned why lacrosse is Maryland’s official team sport, then look no further than the next couple weekends.  Three prominent national tournaments are being played in Maryland over the next two weeks: the National Lacrosse Classic, the Under Armour All-America Classic and the Dick’s Sporting Goods Atlantic Cup.

Go USA!!

No, the Fourth of July didn’t come early this year; all of the Red, White, and Blue that you saw in Towson this weekend was excited celebrations for the U.S’ kick off in the World Cup games.

Patriot Square in front of the Courthouse in Towson was booming on Saturday afternoon, as many soccer fans came out for a World Cup viewing party.  Hosted by Baltimore County and WNST radio, the event was a huge success! WNST’s Nestor, and County Executive Jim Smith were pumping up the crowd in anticipation.

 There were soccer themed moon bounces for the kids, face painting, and even Red, White and Blue snowballs. USA Soccer fever has set in.   At approximately 2:25 all of the walking around seized, everyone grabbed their lawn chairs, and buckled down around the massive television for a very exciting game one.

 With the odds favored so heavily against the U.S. tying the game up was almost as exciting as a win! At least that’s the way it sounded in the roaring crowd!

Did you see how much fun those crazy horn blower’s were having?? That could be us! Don’t forget to sign the petition to get the 2018/2022 FIFA World Cup here in Maryland!
