Pro lacrosse out to net New York squad
The National Lacrosse League is looking to add a team in New York, a banker told The Post.
The 32-year-old league — which is looking for a New York franchise owner with at least $50 million in liquid assets — in the last few months sold a franchise in San Diego for a reported $5 million to Alibaba Vice Chairman Joseph Tsai.
Also recently, cable TV giant Comcast has agreed to pay a similar price to start a Philadelphia lacrosse team.
“We will never launch an expansion team unless the owner has depth of resources, controls an arena or has a sensible lease,” NLL Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz told The Post; he declined comment on the $50 million requirement.
