We’ve stumbled across a pair of tickets to this Saturday’s NLL All-Star Game! The event unites the best box lacrosse players on the planet, and it’s taking place in our own backyard at the First Niagara Center.

In this contest, we’d like you to tell us your favorite part of attending a Bandits game. Do you love responding to “Johnny Who?” Is it the crazy orange attire that gets your engine revved? Is it the high-scoring nature of the game?

Tell us in the comments section below before 4 p.m., and we’ll randomly select one winner of the two tickets.

You’ll be able to cheer on the five Buffalo Bandits chosen to represent the organization: ASG captain John Tavares, newcomer Luke Wiles, hulking defender Billy Dee Smith, reliable Chris White and goalie Mike Thompson.

watching players that play for the love of the game more than a paycheck while being around the greatest and most united fans in all of the NLL.

The crowd/atmosphere during games is awesome! I’ve taken people to games before who weren’t huge fans and quiet people who don’t normally cheer, and they were all jumping up and down and chanting “To the Box.”

Best part has to be the party like atmosphere throughout the entire game. Between the music and the cheers, we ALWAYS have a great time!

One of my favorite aspects of attending a Bandits is the diverse group of supporters, but linked by the common ancient thread of native American heritage, which gave root to the birth of the game of lacrosse. Every where one see’s it. Whether on the field or in the stands, lacrosse is a dramatic rendering of our past, celebration of the present and a mantra for all that is possible in the future.

The passionate fan-base. Seeing a passionate following of fans even at road games makes attending the much louder home games that much more surreal.
