NLL Schedule Released!

They released the schedule just a bit earlier this year but when you consider the NLL schedule kicks off a week sooner than in years past, with games starting December 28th, the final weekend of the NFL regular season. The earlier start is due to a longer season. Gone is the 16-game schedule and in its place will be 18 games, 9 home and 9 away. What that means is 9 games in which we'll see the premier dance team in the NLL, the Buffalo Bandettes, performing at the First Niagara Center.
Of course before that, they still have to pick a team and that's coming up quick!
