Perspective
In November 2006, the Baltimore Bayhawks relocated to Washington, D.C. and became the Washington Bayhawks. They played 5 of their 6 games at Multi-Sport Field and 1 at George Mason Stadium.
New venues in 2007
- The Boston Cannons moved their home games to Harvard Stadium.
- The Chicago Machine moved their home games to Toyota Park.
- The Philadelphia Barrage moved their home games to United Sports Training Center
New rules in 2007:
- Moved the two-point arc back to 16 yards (15 m) away from the goal. It had previously been 15 yards (14 m) away.
- Created the same stick dimension requirements as NCAA.
- Enforce “pull-strings” as making a stick illegally altered and thus cannot re-enter the game.
Chicago won for the first time in franchise history on June 2 defeating Denver. The Machine had lost a league record 13 consecutive games (including all 12 games in 2006).
The 2007 season was a record breaking season:
- On June 16, the Rochester Rattlers won a 27–26 (in overtime) game over the Denver Outlaws in the highest scoring game in MLL history at INVESCO Field at Mile High the teams combined for a total 53 goals.[1]
- A MLL record crowd of 19,793[2] watched the July 4 game between Chicago and Denver at INVESCO Field at Mile High. The previous mark was 15,981, set by a Los Angeles at Denver game in 2006.
- John Grant, Jr. broke the league's single-season points record with 71 points,[3] while Spencer Ford set the single-season assists record 47.[4]
