The parking is insane, the valet parking is downright offensive. I get having to pay for the place but trying to weasel out a few bucks more via the sh@t parking situation is just wrong.

We're not going back this year.

The STJ when it opened was cool and nice. Now we get crammed in there paying $50 a person per game fighting for parking with someone in from NY/NJ there for a basketball tournament that weekend like it was Bel Air Maryland. All to keep a stick in the hand during the OFF-Season.

It was better when Pat ran *Triple Edge. Less BS and less “got to pay for the $100 million facility.”

* I’m sure someone else can explain that fiasco with CYA and then st James. Pat got F’ed.

How much was it before?


I believe last year was $200 for a 7 game schedule. This year is $225 for a 6 game schedule


So what? That's pretty whiny.


Seems valid enough to me. $28 bucks a game for 7 vs. $37 a game for 6. Not to mention the st James collects that directly from the player and if you run a larger team (say 20 vs 15) they keep that as well. Not gonna break the bank but you’re paying more for less. I wonder if you’ll be allowed to stay and play multiple games if teams need a few players or if they’ll find a way to squeeze some money out of that. Meh!

Anyways, This year has been a fight to get enough players to field teams in fall ball and the various tournaments. Hope this changes.



St James is the best venue in the DMV. Founders invested nearly $100M to build it. No other location comes close. Everything goes up in price, especially in today’s rising interest rate environment. Just be happy we have it and that the girls have access to this incredible place to sharpen their skills during the winter. I’m neither affiliated with the league nor the facility.

Corporate greed is pricing the kids out of lacrosse. We need some of those upstart leagues to start back up to give more opportunity.

Prices went up and only 6 games this year. What a joke.
