2007 Major League Lacrosse season

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]
