Taking the game of lacrosse back to the way it’s meant to be played, Red Bull Baggataway will take place at Soldiers Field Soccer / Lacrosse Stadium in Boston, MA.
The sport’s best player Paul Rabil will be hosting a two day lacrosse tournament that tests speed, endurance and physical power. Not your average lacrosse game, Red Bull Baggataway has no pads and no out-of-bounds, just pure run and gun explosives.
Friday’s game day will consist of a round robin tournament. There will be two 15 minute halves with a sudden death type of feel. There are no subs, no face-offs, no equipment except for the goalies, one field, no out-of-bounds and checking above the shoulder is illegal. The two teams with the best record will compete on Saturday, prior to the MLL All-Star game, and winner takes all- $5,000 and the title of Red Bull Baggataway Champion!
