i think he meant soccer level in america
being from durham i know what tiger_lax is talking about-no big teams and then a good d1 team gets into a scandal and lacrosse in the whole state of north carolina is frowned upon.
the expansion is good-more teams=more oppertunities for the sport as a whole, i hope within the next couple of years they expand and add a few more teams-there are definatly enough players who dont make MLL teams who are good enough if you give them the chance...just not enough fan-based interest in most areas.
