The major league sport you've never seen

Cannons-Lizards 6-26-10  0468

A

nother sport played at Gillette Stadium that you can actually afford to go and see? Yup. Boston Cannons lacrosse games feature tailgating and all the extras, too, but with reasonable ticket prices, free parking, and no traffic. The Cannons dance team runs promotions and giveaways, too. There’s also a fan zone where some of the best players in the game will sign your shirts, cards, and lax gear. (Yeah, the team calls itself the Cannons, not the Cannon. And we spell it “Foxboro.”) Herder
