We have been working hard in the 6 months since then to make it a reality,” stated Elev8 Director of Lacrosse Tony Lowe. “Our goal is to grow the game and nothing would be bigger for our sport then to have a pro team in the hotbed of South Florida.” The event is supported by the Palm Beach Sports Commission, a not-for-profit organization contracted by Palm Beach County to promote and market the county as a sports and sports tourism destination. “FAU is a state-of-the-art facility and a venue unlike any that Palm Beach County hasever had.
