The Charlotte Hounds and Atlanta Blaze will meet at MUSC Health Stadium on Saturday, June 30. The Major League Lacrosse regular season game is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM and will be aired live on Lax Sports Network.
The game between the Hounds and the Blaze will be the first ever MLL event held in South Carolina. MUSC Health Stadium will also host the 2018 MLL Championship game later in the summer. The Championship game is scheduled for August 18.
“We’re excited to bring Major League Lacrosse to Charleston this summer,” said Charleston Battery Chairman Eric Bowman. “We’re looking forward to giving our community the opportunity to see lacrosse played at the highest level. We received a great response when we announced the Championship game in April and we’re hoping that the Hounds/Blaze game generates even more excitement for the game in August.”
MUSC Health Stadium opened in 1999 as the first modern, privately-funded soccer stadium in the U.S. The 5,100-seat stadium boasts one of the largest jumbotrons in the Southeast at 3,000 square feet. Modeled after iconic English soccer stadiums, MUSC Health Stadium is known for clean sight-lines and an English-inspired pub in the venue, the Three Lions Club. The stadium has hosted a variety of major events, including Zac Brown Band’s Southern Ground Music and Food Festival, USA Rugby matches, US Women’s National Team matches, and Carolina Challenge Cup.
