Sports Hive AI for Lacrosse

THE REVENUE ENGINE
BUILT FOR LACROSSE.

A compressed summer schedule where every home floor is ~10% of your gate — and you're the only live team sport in town. We built the system that front-loads the season and makes the summer exclusivity pay.

Why Lacrosse is different

LACROSSE IS A SPRINT, NOT A SEASON.

Box lacrosse plays a compressed May-to-August schedule — often just eight to twelve home floors. There's no slow build, no "we'll fix it by midseason." The audience work has to happen before the first whistle, and every home date carries roughly a tenth of the season's gate revenue.

The competition isn't another team — it's summer itself: the lake, the long weekends, the festivals. Which is actually the opportunity. "Warm night, fast game, cold drink, home by ten" is an easier sell than fandom, and box lacrosse is the best live-audience product most locals have simply never seen.

And lacrosse holds a card nobody else in your market has: from May through August, you're usually the only live team sport playing regular home dates. For local sponsors who think in quarters, that's exclusive summer inventory — if someone prices it like the scarce asset it is.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS YOUR SEASON

Feb – Apr
Pre-season — schedule announcement, flex packs, and home-opener campaigns sold before the first whistle.
May – Jun
Front-loaded launch — biggest ad push on the first two floors; every first-timer gets a 72-hour follow-up.
Jul – Aug
Long weekends and the playoff sprint — event-treatment holiday floors, next-summer offers while the building is loud.
Sep – Jan
Sponsor season — proof reports in September, next-summer pipeline built all winter, merch and database growth.

WHAT WE RUN FOR LACROSSE CLUBS

01

The front-load

Season announcement, flex packs, and the first two home floors get the budget — a fan captured in May attends three more games; one captured in July attends one.

02

The 72-hour follow-up

First-timers become repeat buyers while the sunburn is still fresh — automatic offers within three days of every home floor.

03

Long-weekend event machinery

Holiday floors get full theme-night treatment with family packages — or a deliberate decision to concede to the lake. Never a normal-Saturday shrug.

04

Summer-exclusive sponsorship

"Only game in town all summer" inventory, sold with counted proof — sends, redemptions, foot traffic — and renewed in September while the memory is warm.

Modeled outcomes

Modeled first-season outcomes for a lacrosse club in a 2,700-seat building, based on our pilot data plus industry benchmarks:

  • +500 incremental tickets per game across the summer
  • A database of 8,000+ local fans within 90 days
  • 3x return on ad spend sustained through the playoff sprint

These are modeled projections, not published client results — here's exactly what we measure and why we publish it this way.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Both. The compressed-season mechanics apply to box most directly, but the system — front-loaded campaigns, fast follow-up, sponsor proof — runs for field programs and youth-adjacent senior clubs the same way.

Compression is exactly why it works. The system front-loads the audience build into pre-season, then compounds inside the schedule — and everything it learns this summer carries into a stronger launch next year. The worst plan in lacrosse is starting in May.

Smaller but denser — lacrosse crowds are intensely local, which is precisely what neighbourhood sponsors and radius-targeted ads want. And with eight to twelve home floors, every incremental hundred fans is worth roughly three times what it's worth across a long hockey schedule.

Our active pilots include a lacrosse club. Modeled outcomes are public on our results page, and we'll walk you through the real numbers — ad accounts, CRM, attribution — on a call, under NDA, with the pilot's permission.
