MLL Announces 2020 Season to be Played in Annapolis, MD
Major League Lacrosse announced today that the 2020 season will be played as a week-long series in Annapolis, Maryland, beginning with a two-day training camp July 16th and concluding with a final-four playoff on July 26th.
The city of Annapolis and Navy-Marine Corps Stadium will play host to all six MLL teams, with the entirety of the 2020 season broadcast nationally on the ESPN family of networks. Navy-Marine Corps Stadium is the home of the 2019 MLL Champion Chesapeake Bayhawks.
2020 marks the Connecticut Hammerheads' inaugural season, as well as the 20th anniversary of Major League Lacrosse. The Hammerheads will play each of the league's other five teams once during the regular season and may qualify for the four-team playoff which will close out the 10-day trip to Annapolis.
"The Connecticut Hammerheads are so excited that we are able to get on the field for MLL's 20th anniversary season, the first for our franchise," said Hammerheads President Ian Frenette. "While we would love to be playing in front of our fanbase in Connecticut, we are thrilled that the league was able to develop a safe plan for the monumental 2020 season during these unprecedented times. We can't wait to get on the field at Fairfield University in 2021."
MLL has gathered a team of medical professionals from all six of the MLL markets, which has worked tirelessly to develop a strategy that ensures the health and safety of all players, staff and on-site personnel during the 2020 season. In addition, the league has designated a COVID Safety Protocol Officer to oversee the execution of and adherence to the safety plan put in place.
Major League Lacrosse is working closely with Cascade to offer players access to the company's new face shield. The shield is completely clear and allows for a physical barrier inside each player's SEI-Certified Cascade helmet.
