If you can afford good seats to the Knick's homegames then you probably don't need to be here!  Since you already know about the Islander's, Rangers, Nets, Knicks, Jets, Giants, Yankees and Mets we can use this spot to put out info on some lesser known (and much more affordable) options.  Because - News Flash - your kids won't even care!!!  They will be having such a good time spending time with you courtside they won't notice Lebron isn't in the game.  Here's where to go to catch the game.

 

Editor's note: as we attend more and more games we will blog about the specifics of each venue.

New York Lizards - Lacrosse

 

So apparently there is something called Lacrosse that is popular with the local tribes?  Ok, so we are mostly from the west coast and thought Lacrosse was that game Daniel Day Lewis played in Last of the Mohicans.  But we've heard its a pretty big deal so here's the skinny.  The Lizards play at Hofstra University and the season goes April thru August.
